NASCAR's 21st consecutive visit to the Sonoma Valley will headline the 2009 Big O Tires Racing Season at Infineon Raceway.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' 22nd annual visit to the Sonoma Valley will highlight the 2010 Big O Tires Racing Season at Infineon Raceway. The raceway will boast one of the most diverse motor-racing schedules in the country, featuring NASCAR, NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, IZOD IndyCar Series, motorcycles, historic car racing and more.

One major addition to the 2010 schedule is the return of "PINKS All Out," the highly popular television program on the SPEED channel. "PINKS All Out" debuted in the Sonoma Valley in 2008 before a near-capacity grandstand and, after a one-year hiatus, will return Sept. 17-18.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will again headline the schedule with the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Father's Day weekend, June 18-20. Road-course racing has quickly become some of the most exciting on the circuit, evidenced by Kasey Kahne's dramatic win in 2009. Race fans will also be treated to an earlier start time of noon on race day, June 20.

Drag racing will play a major part in the 2010 season, highlighted by the 23rd annual FRAM Autolite NHRA Nationals, July 16-18. Antron Brown broke out the broom in 2009 in Sonoma, sweeping the Western Swing. The following weekend, July 23-25, will be the NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, followed by "PINKS All Out" in September.

The Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma marks the IZOD IndyCar Series' sixth annual visit to the Sonoma Valley, Aug. 20-22, and its only stop in Northern California in 2010. IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti claimed his first Infineon Raceway victory in 2009.

Infineon Raceway will also host the best in motorcycle road-course racing at the West Coast Moto Jam, May 14-16. The weekend will feature Supermoto, Motocross and Flat Track racing, as well as the first-ever electric motorcycle race in the Sonoma Valley with the TTXGP U.S. Championship.
