The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series hits northern California on Saturday, July 12 for the Pit Boss / FoodMaxx 250 at Sonoma.
The Xfinity Series has raced around the Wine Country circuit since 2023, with Aric Almirola and Shane van Gisbergen having won the race in its two previous runnings. While the latter has moved to a full-time drive in the Cup Series, he'll be competing again this weekend to defend his Xfinity Series win..
The last time the Xfinity Series hit a road course...it was last weekend at Chicago, where Van Gisbergen took the win from pole position in both the Xfinity Series and Cup Series races. He's good at this.
For those drivers who are eligible for the playoffs though, it's Justin Allgaier who continues to lead the way in the standings, with Austin Hill and Sam Meyer level on points in second and third respectively, despite Meyer's failure to win a single race.
With that said, let's get into the all-important details you need to know ahead of Saturday's race!
