NASCAR heads to California wine country for a road race at Sonoma Raceway, where history was made last year.
Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suarez scored his first ever Cup Series victory and became the first Mexican driver to win any Cup race. The Sonoma podium was also surprising, with Chris Buescher finishing second and Michael McDowell third.
Recent races have perhaps revealed a changing of the guard when it comes to NASCAR road-racing prowess. In the seven road races held in 2021, Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott combined to win five of them. In the most recent seven road races - six held in 2022 and one so far in 2023 - Tyler Reddick has won three, Larson one, Christopher Bell one and Trackhouse teammates Suarez and Ross Chastain one apiece.
