For many fans, a weekend at NASCAR in Sonoma starts as a bucket-list trip.

Then it becomes a tradition.

From June 26-28, Sonoma Raceway welcomes fans from across the country for NASCAR’s only stop in Northern California — a one-of-a-kind race weekend where world-class motorsports meets the unforgettable beauty of wine country.

Unlike any other NASCAR destination, Sonoma offers more than just incredible racing. It’s a full summer getaway set among rolling vineyards, scenic hillsides and some of California’s most iconic experiences.

Fans can spend the morning soaring above wine country in a hot air balloon, enjoy afternoon wine tastings at nearby vineyards and then make their way to the roar of NASCAR action at one of the most picturesque road courses in motorsports.

Others choose to make the raceway itself their home for the weekend.

Camping at Sonoma Raceway has become part of the tradition for thousands of fans each year, creating a festival-like atmosphere filled with barbecue, tailgating, live entertainment and unbeatable views of the racing action. From RVs perched along the hillsides to fans gathering under the stars after the checkered flag, the campground experience has become just as memorable as the race itself.

And once fans experience NASCAR in Sonoma, they keep coming back.

It’s the combination of elite racing, breathtaking scenery and laid-back wine country charm that turns first-time visitors into annual attendees. Families, friend groups and longtime race fans alike have made Sonoma Raceway a summer tradition unlike anything else on the NASCAR schedule.

Whether it’s a weekend escape, a family vacation or a can’t-miss motorsports pilgrimage, NASCAR weekend at Sonoma Raceway delivers far more than a race.

It delivers an experience.
