This weekend, NASCAR will return to Sonoma Raceway in California. It will be the first time since Circuit Of The Americas quite early in the season that the Next Gen car will be driven on a road course.

Interestingly, this year the circuit has a new look. Because the carousel is gone and the slide is back.

The track has been reconfigured for the best racing experience keeping in mind the expectations and demands of the fans, as well as feedback from the drivers themselves.

So it’s only natural to wonder how much would it cost you or any normal person to race on the beautiful Cali circuit?

Well, luckily it’s not a lot.

Sonoma Raceway has a popular program that gives people, “a safe, legal and controlled environment” have a drag race with their cars. And the cost to do it is $35 to race, $20 run with a high school ID, and $15 for the spectators.

According to the official website of the track, “Almost every type of street-legal vehicle is eligible to run on the drag strip.”

The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion shares his thoughts on Sonoma’s new layout

Hendrick Motorsports superstar Kyle Larson recently expressed his thoughts on the new track layout for his home race. Larson also won the race the last time NASCAR came to town.

“I think it will be very similar to these races. I don’t know, I really enjoyed the carousel, having a left turn was fun, and I felt like the turn was cool because it opened up extra passing areas all the way through that turn, then led to the next. Larson said.

Pilot #5 confessed that he did not understand the reasoning behind the course change to what it was. Larson speculates it may be for better crowd experience so spectators can see the race better.

“Anyway, it’s a fun place. It’s my home and I’m glad to be back.” he added.
