Sunday Sonoma Cup race: Start time, TV info, weather

The Cup Series heads to Sonoma Raceway for its second road course event of the season.

Hendrick Motorsports drivers have won 10 of the last 15 races at road courses, including Kyle Larson’s win last year at Sonoma, but it was Ross Chastain winning in the first road course event of the season at Circuit of the Americas.

After the race, the series will have its last off weekend of the season before returning to action June 26 at Nashville Superspeedway. NBC and USA Network take over broadcasting Cup and Xfinity races the rest of the season at Nashville.
