The 2025 Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250 was the 19th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 3rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Sonoma, California at Sonoma Raceway, a 1.99 miles (3.20 km) permanent road course.
The race, contested over 79 laps, was won by Connor Zilisch, driving for JR Motorsports, which was his third win of the year, and his fourth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win.[8] Zilisch fended off a hard-charging Shane van Gisbergen, driving for JR Motorsports, who nearly passed him after the two drivers made contact on the final lap in turn 7. To fill out the podium, William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, finished 3rd, respectively.
Background
Sonoma Raceway is a 1.99-mile (3.20 km) road course and drag strip located on the landform known as Sears Point in the southern Sonoma Mountains in Sonoma, California, U.S. The road course features 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 feet (49 m) of total elevation change. It is host to one of only seven NASCAR Cup Series races each year that are run on road courses. It is also host to the NTT IndyCar 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 which may or may not be open to the general public. The largest such car club is the Sports Car Club of America. In 2022, the race was reverted to racing the club configuration.[9]
