Sonoma Raceway

Sonoma, California · US

A hilly road course in the Sonoma wine country, one of the few circuits on the NASCAR Cup calendar that turns right.

About Sonoma Raceway

Sonoma Raceway climbs and falls through the hills at the southern end of the Sonoma Valley, with a long elevation change from the start line up to the esses and back down through the Carousel. It has hosted NASCAR since 1989 and sports car racing for far longer, and the road-course weekend is one of the calendar's distinct ones — drivers who never turn right elsewhere have to here.

The circuit is closer to San Francisco than to Sonoma town, and stays split between the wine country to the north and the Bay Area to the south.
