Entry list
Sonoma Raceway (originally known as Sears Point Raceway until 2002) is a road course and dragstrip located at Sears Point in the southern Sonoma Mountains of Sonoma County, California.[1] The road course features 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 feet (49 m) of total elevation change.[2] It is host to one of the few NASCAR Cup Series races each year that are run on road courses. It has also played host to the IndyCar Series, the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series, and several other auto races and motorcycle races such as the American Federation of Motorcyclists series. Sonoma Raceway continues to host amateur, or club racing events with some open to the public. The largest such car club is the Sports Car Club of America. The track is 30 mi (48 km) north of San Francisco and Oakland.

Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Saturday, June 11, at 10:05 AM PST.[5] Since Sonoma Raceway is a road course, the qualifying system used is a two group system, with two rounds. Drivers will be separated into two groups, Group A and Group B. Each driver will have a lap to set a time. The fastest 5 drivers from each group will advance to the final round. Drivers will also have one lap to set a time. The fastest driver to set a time in the round will win the pole.[6]
Carson Hocevar, driving for Niece Motorsports, originally scored the pole for the race with a time of 1:18.609 seconds, and a speed of 91.135 mph (146.668 km/h). However, shortly after making the lap, he would spin in turn 10, and collect the tire barriers. Hocevar will move to a backup truck, with Ross Chastain taking over the pole position.[7]
