Sonoma Showdown: NASCAR Cup Series Heats Up

The Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma promises high stakes as Byron`s lead narrows and Preece rises.

The NASCAR Cup Series is set for an exhilarating showdown at Sonoma Raceway with the Toyota / Save Mart 350 on July 13, 2025. This iconic 1.99-mile road course will challenge drivers over 110 laps, and the stakes couldn`t be higher. Currently, William Byron leads the championship with 632 points, but his recent struggles culminated in a disappointing 40th-place finish at Chicago, leaving him just 13 points ahead of Chase Elliott (619 points) and Kyle Larson (613 points).

The competition is fierce, with the top five drivers separated by a mere 48 points, including Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick, who is still seeking his first win of the season. Meanwhile, Ryan Preece is emerging as a dark horse for a playoff spot, having secured a seventh-place finish at Chicago and consistently finishing in the top 15. His playoff probability is soaring as the series approaches its critical juncture.

In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Justin Allgaier is dominating the standings with 646 points, while Austin Hill and Sam Mayer are locked in a tie at 597 points. The upcoming races will be pivotal for drivers on the bubble, especially as the playoff picture begins to take shape. Fans can catch all the action live on TNT Sports, truTV, HBO Max, PRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, with the green flag waving at 3:30 p.m. ET.
