NASCAR Cup Series: Sonoma Starting Lineup, Pole, and How to Watch Sunday’s Race

NASCAR is back on Sunday as drivers rev their engines for the 2021 Toyota Save Smart race at the Sonoma Raceway.

Racing fans are eager to get to the California track, as last year’s race was postponed due to the pandemic. For Sunday’s race, officials are allowing the track to open at 33 percent capacity, which is equivalent to 15,000 attendees.

When the green flag flies at 4:14 PM ET., Kyle Larson will take his place at the starting position at the pole behind the wheel of his No. 5 Chevrolet. He recently took home a win after he claimed victory at the Coca Cola 600.

For those wanting to get in on the action from home, you can watch the race on the TV channel FS1.

If you’re without access to cable or satellite television, live streaming is also available. Viewers can live stream FS1 via AT&T TV, fuboTV, Hulu, Sling, Vidgo, and YouTubeTV. Those looking for free trials should also check out fuboTV, Hulu, and YouTubeTV. Those looking to listen via radio can also check out PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

As for weather, the National Weather Service forecast predicts sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70s at the track. However, wind could become an issue with potential gusts up to 32 mph.

As with all of this season’s Cup Series races on Fox and FS1, Mike Joy will provide race commentary alongside Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer and Larry McReynolds. Jamie Little, Regan Smith and Vince Welch will also act as the pit reporters.
