NASCAR at Sonoma 2025: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Toyota/Save Mart 350
The streets of Chicago proved to be a happy hunting ground for road course specialist Shane van Gisbergen.
The New Zealander swept pole position and the race win in both the Xfinity and Cup Series races, making for a dominant weekend at NASCAR's only street course race of the season.
It was a chaotic race that saw a red flag and multiple cautions as drivers made contact with the close walls of the street course. That race also saw more surprises in the bracket for NASCAR's inaugural in-season challenge.
No. 32 seed Ty Dillon continued his run of upsets with a win over No. 17 seed Brad Keselowski. There are just two top-10 seeds left in the bracket: No. 8 Alex Bowman and No. 6 Ty Gibbs.
The in-season challenge field is down to eight drivers as the Cup Series sees another non-oval on deck for this weekend: Sonoma Raceway. It's one of the longest tenured road courses on the calendar and a challenge for the grid of oval-racing regulars.
Will van Gisbergen continue his winning streak on non-ovals or will a new winner emerge from the pack? Here's everything you need to know to get ready for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, July 13:
