The NASCAR Cup Series‘ June schedule continues Sunday with the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, and we’ve got you covered with all the action from start to finish, exclusively on FOX and the FOX Sports app!

NASCAR’s top stars will battle it out over 110 laps and 218 miles on the 1.99-mile road course, which features 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 feet of total elevation change, in Sonoma, California. It’s home to one of the just seven Cup races that are run on road courses each year. Hendrick Motorsports is the team with the most Sonoma wins, with seven total.

It’s the 16th race of the 2023 Cup Series season.

Denny Hamlin won the pole for Sunday’s race — his 38th career pole and his second this season.

Chase Elliott returned to the No. 9 seat after missing last week’s race due to suspension, which was just the latest hiccup in what has proven to be a tumultuous season for the Hendrick Motorsports driver.

Meanwhile, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series star Grant Enfinger is making his Cup Series debut from 35th starting position. He’s filling in for Noah Gragson, who is recovering from an incident at Gateway last week.

You can find a full list of winners so far this year, as well as the season’s remaining schedule here.

Here are the top moments!

Seeing green

Actor Adam Devine gave the command for drivers to start their engines. Just like that, things got underway!

Follow the leader

Hamlin led the opening lap, followed by a string of Toyotas — Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr. and Ty Gibbs — right out of the gate.

Meanwhile, there was big trouble for defending race winner Daniel Suárez, who fell all the way back to 29th early on.

Wear sunglasses!

Pushing ahead

After Denny Hamlin took Stage 1, Martin Truex Jr. plowed forward to capture the lead at the beginning of Stage 2.

Stay tuned for updates!
