INFINEON RACEWAY

Toyota/Save Mart 350
Sunday, June 20, 2010 in Sonoma, CA

NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers make the long cross-country haul out to Infineon Raceway in the beautiful Sonoma Valley in California this weekend for the running of the Toyota/Save Mart 350. This 1.99-mile road course snakes up and down hills, and features the Chute, a NASCAR modified bypass for turns 5 and 6 that changes it from a 12-turn to a 10-turn track. Drivers will encircle the course 110 times for 350 kilometers en route to the finish line.

The following drivers have the best chance of pulling out a top finish this weekend. The rankings utilize an exclusive formula I’ve developed over years of analyzing races. It factors in drivers’ history at this track and similar tracks, key driver stats from this venue, and the ever-powerful momentum. Every driver/team will have the occasional “off” race. They can have a rough outing or two without being unduly harmed in the rankings. If they generally run in the top half of the field, they’ll be moving up the list.
