How to watch NASCAR at Sonoma: Toyota/Save Mart 350 TV channel, live stream & start time

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to California’s Sonoma Raceway on Sunday for the Toyota/Save Mart 350, described as one of the most technical races of the season. The event also begins NASCAR’s 2026 In-Season Challenge, a five-race single-elimination format featuring 32 drivers competing for a $1 million prize. Sonoma’s 12-turn, 1.99-mile road course is expected to produce frequent tactical swings due to elevation changes, tight corners, and heavy braking zones. Coverage will air nationally on TNT and truTV, while fans can stream every lap via DIRECTV. Qualifying set Ty Gibbs on pole, alongside Carson Hocevar on the front row, while Kyle Larson—Sonoma’s local favorite—will start third. The In-Season Challenge bracket advances winners from head-to-head matchups over the next five races before the $1 million is awarded.
