For the third time in the last month, the NASCAR Cup Series is set to run a non-oval race, with this weekend's Toyota/Save Mart 350 scheduled to take place at Sonoma Raceway.
The Cup Series uses the 12-turn, 1.99-mile (3.203-kilometer) Sonoma, California road course layout, and Sunday afternoon's race, the third road course race and fourth non-oval race of the 2025 season, is set to be a 110-lap race.
The qualifying format used for road and street course races is fairly straightforward, though it does differ from what Sonoma has seen in previous years.
Drivers are split up into two groups based on the qualifying metric. The current formula is a two-variable formula which replaced the old four-variable formula after the 2024 season. A full breakdown of that metric can be found here.
Drivers with the higher (worse) scores run in the first group, and drivers with the lower (better) scores run in the second. Results of both groups are simply combined to determine the full 37-car starting lineup. There is no longer a second round, and there are no row-by-row designations based on which group a driver is in.
Follow along with our live qualifying updates from Sonoma Raceway.
