The countdown is officially on. With 100 days to go, anticipation is building for NASCAR’s return to Northern California as Sonoma Raceway prepares to host its annual NASCAR race weekend June 26–28, 2026 — a three-day celebration of speed, competition and world-class motorsports in the heart of wine country.
The highly anticipated weekend will once again bring NASCAR’s biggest stars to Sonoma’s iconic 1.99-mile road course, where drivers tackle dramatic elevation changes, tight corners and technical braking zones while battling for victory in one of the most unique races on the schedule. The centerpiece of the weekend will be the 36th running of the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday, June 28, where the sport’s top drivers will compete in Northern California’s premier motorsports event.
Race weekend action begins Friday, June 26, with the General Tire 150, showcasing rising talent from across the West Coast. The excitement continues Saturday, June 27, when the next generation of NASCAR stars take on the demanding road course in the Sonoma 250 before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers headline Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Beyond the on-track action, fans can expect a full festival-style race weekend featuring practice and qualifying sessions, interactive displays, family-friendly activities, premium hospitality experiences and unmatched scenic views overlooking Sonoma Valley. The event continues to stand out as one of the most distinctive stops on the NASCAR calendar, blending world-class racing with the destination atmosphere of wine country.
“Reaching the 100-day mark means race weekend is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to welcome NASCAR fans back to Sonoma,” said Brian Flynn, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sonoma Raceway. “There’s something special about NASCAR in wine country. The combination of elite racing on one of the most challenging road courses in the sport and the incredible backdrop of Sonoma Valley creates an experience you simply can’t find anywhere else.”
With championship implications building and drivers preparing for one of NASCAR’s most technical road courses, the June race weekend promises thrilling battles, bold strategy and unforgettable moments as competitors push their limits on Sonoma’s legendary layout.
