A Milestone Night in Sonoma
The NASCAR Cup Series will descend on Sonoma Raceway on June 28, marking the culmination of the season’s road‑course slate.
This weekend’s event also serves as the kickoff of NASCAR’s In Season Challenge, a head‑to‑head showdown that pits 32 drivers against one another for a $1 million prize.
Broadcast and Streaming
All of the In Season Challenge races are being broadcast live on TNT, the network that has held the series’ television rights for several years. Fans can watch the action through Sling TV, which offers a range of streaming passes — including 1‑Day, 3‑Day and 7‑Day options — to suit different viewing habits.
The race is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and it will be followed by four more Cup Series events that will also air on TNT, giving viewers a busy stretch of racing in the weeks ahead.
Notable Competitors
Among the drivers entered are road‑course veterans such as Shane van Gisbergen and A.J. Allmendinger, who are expected to be among the contenders for the lucrative prize.
The Bigger Picture
The Sonoma weekend not only caps a demanding schedule but also underscores NASCAR’s strategy of mixing traditional oval tracks with iconic road courses to keep the championship narrative fresh.
