The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' 23rd annual visit to the Sonoma Valley will highlight the 2011 Big O Tires Racing Season at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
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.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will again headline the schedule with the Toyota/Save Mart 350, which will return to its more traditional date, June 24-26. The Toyota/Save Mart 350 has boasted six different race winners in six years, with Jimmie Johnson claiming his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series road-course win in Sonoma in 2010.
Drag racing will play a major part in the season, highlighted by the 24th annual FRAM Autolite NHRA Nationals July 29-31. Funny Car driver Ron Capps ended a one-year winless streak in 2010 with a victory at Infineon Raceway. The NHRA Division 7 Drag Races, presented by Korbel, will be hosted the weekend prior, July 22-24.
The Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma marks the IZOD IndyCar Series' seventh annual visit to the Sonoma Valley, Aug. 26-28, and its only stop in Northern California in 2011. Team Penske's Will Power claimed his first Infineon Raceway victory earlier this year; becoming the sixth race winner in as many years.
Infineon Raceway will also host the best in AMA Pro Road Racing, featuring doubleheaders in both SuperBike and Daytona SportBike at the West Coast Moto Jam May 13-15. The weekend will also feature Supermoto USA, ANRMA Motocross, Flat Track, as well as electric motorcycle racing with the return of the TTXGP U.S. Championship.
Historic-car racing will take center stage during two unique weekends, including the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival June 4-5 and the Classic Sports Racing Group Charity Challenge Oct. 1-2.
