Toyota / Save Mart 350 details

Track: Sonoma Raceway (1.99-mile, 11-turn permanent road course) in Sonoma County, California
Length: 110 laps for 350 kilometers
Last year’s winner: Daniel Suárez, Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet

‘The Chute’ returns for 2023

When the track opened in 1968, it was a 2.52-mile, 12-turn road course utilizing the dramatic rises and drops of the natural terrain and incorporating the drag strip for two portions. A mid-90s redevelopment eliminated the Turn 6 “Carousel” — a 180-degree sweeping downhill left-hander — and introduced the “The Chute,” a downhill straightaway that leads into the flat Turn 7. In 2019, NASCAR went back to the original and now will re-introduce “The Chute.”

Chase Elliott back from suspension

Hendrick Motorsports’ Chase Elliott returns this weekend from the one-race suspension he was issued for wrecking Denny Hamlin at the Coca-Cola 600. Elliott, who missed six races earlier in the season with a broken leg, currently sits in 27th in the points and likely needs a win to automatically qualify for the playoffs. Six of Elliott’s 18 career wins have come on road courses.

Top drivers, best bets for the Toyota / Save Mart 350

NASCAR’s most versatile — and dominant — driver once again enters a race weekend as a favorite. Kyle Larson has won the pole position for the last five races in Sonoma thus has 5-to-1 odds, according to BetMGM. Tyler Reddick won the only other road course this season at Circuit of the Americas and shares the same +500 moneyline.

Best odds to win

• Kyle Larson +500
• Tyler Reddick +500
• Chase Elliott +550
• William Byron +900
• Kyle Busch +1000

Yahoo Sports’ Nick Bromberg wrote earlier in the week on the betting landscape, noting good mid-tier value in three-time Sonoma winner Martin Truex Jr. (+2000) and Austin Cindric (+2000), who finished fifth last year in his lone start at the track. Bromberg also likes Denny Hamlin as a 35-to-1 longshot, citing the veteran’s four previous top-five finishes in Sonoma.

Weather for the Toyota / Save Mart 350

The forecast calls for unseasonably cool and overcast conditions with temperatures in the mid-70s. This race is typically run in conditions 20 degrees hotter under a cloudless sky which puts a ton of stress on the front tires and brakes with three heavy braking zones following long, flat-out stretches on the course. The cooler temperatures should make tire degradation more predictable, leading to longer green-flag runs and placing importance on pit-lane performance for the crews.
