| INFINEON RACEWAY
This website is an online resource for NASCAR enthusiasts: welcome to our info page for Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California.
NASCAR debuted at Infineon in 1989, with Ricky Rudd taking the inaugural victory. The Craftsman Truck Series was added to the schedule in 1995.
In 1998, The Chute, a new high-speed straightaway that connects existing Turns 4 and 7 was officially opened on May 5. The redesign of the road course shortened the circuit from 2.52 miles to 1.949 and increased the event's distance from 300 to 350 kilometers. The redesigned course is used strictly for NASCAR events.
A $60 million modernization plan kicked off in 2001. Improvements included the construction of hillside terrace seats above Turns 2-4, 40 garages for competitors, dramatically expanded entrance and access roads to reduce traffic congestion into and around the raceway, and increased run-off on the road course at Turns 1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, 6 and 7.
A new permanent grandstand at the start/finish line, underground pedestrian tunnels, enlargement of pit road to accommodate a 43-car field, new system of shuttle roads and the separation of the road course form the drag strip happened in 2002. Improvements continued in 2003 as the final portions of the road course were repaved (Turns 1-3, 6-8 and 11).
Turns 4-5, 9-10 and 12 and The Chute were repaved prior to the 2003 season. Additional runoff was also created at Turns 1 and 6, and the bridge at Turn 1 was replaced, while the Turn 6 bridge was removed permanently.
