There’s a whole crew of strong road course drivers who still need a win to lock themselves into the playoffs — AJ Allmendinger , Ty Gibbs , and Ryan Preece , just to name a few. And then there's Tyler Reddick , who’s been solid all season on these kinds of tracks but is still looking for that first win this year. He’s got a nice cushion in the wild card standings, but nothing’s guaranteed when you’re racing at a technical track like Sonoma.
Now, let’s talk logistics — because you do not want to miss this. The green flag drops at around 2:50 p.m. Central Time . The race will be broadcast nationally on TNT , and if you prefer streaming, you can catch all the action with MAX (for those cool in-car camera views), or audio through NASCAR.com and SiriusXM Channel 90 .
Sonoma itself is no joke — a 1.99-mile road course packed with elevation changes, tight corners, and strategy-heavy sections. The race runs 110 laps , split into stages of 25, 30, and 55 laps. Pit strategy and tire management will play a massive role here. One wrong move and your day could unravel quickly.
With the playoff picture heating up, this race could shake everything up. Drivers on the bubble need results, and those chasing momentum want to build it now . So if you’re a fan of high-speed drama, skilled road course driving, and playoff tension, this is the race to watch .
Get those snacks ready, settle in, and let’s enjoy another thrilling chapter in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series. Sonoma always delivers.
