After 15 action-packed race weekends in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, the series heads to Sonoma County, California for another thriller, the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Sunday’s race is expected to be exciting and uncertain as the Next Gen cars will run for the very first time at Sonoma Raceway. All the drivers who will take the grid for Toyota/Save Mart 350 will be racing to win on the 1.99-mile-long track.
The action can be enjoyed live on FOX and MRN and will be live on Sunday, June 12, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Along with the motivation to win the race, drivers will enter this weekend with a monetary incentive as well that will motivate them to come out on top.
On Twitter, motorsport journalist Bob Pockrass revealed the prize money that is up for grabs in California across the Cup Series and Truck Series, writing:
“Sonoma overall purses for this weekend (incl all payouts incl charter team per-race payouts as well as season-ending point fund contribution): Cup: $7,629,830 Truck: $675,134”
