Sonoma Raceway will play host to its 36th Cup Series race Sunday — but it's first in July. This is the latest in the calendar that NASCAR has visited the 11-turn, 1.99-mile road course of San Francisco. The previous 35 races were primarily held in June (from 1993-97, the race was run in May).

This Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series heads out west to Sonoma Raceway for the 20th race of the season. That means there’s just seven races remaining before the playoffs begin.
