2014 Toyota Save Mart 350 Winner - Late mistakes cost Jeff Gordon potential win
Carl Edwards takes Sonoma and wins his first road course race. Holding off a charging Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards won the Toyota/Save Mart 350 Sunday at Sonoma Raceway.
Edwards took the lead on a restart with 25 laps to go, and initially built up a comfortable margin only to see Gordon slowly reel him in. When Edwards locked up his brakes entering the final turn on the last lap, Gordon attempted a dive-bomb pass but was unsuccessful with Edwards powering off the corner to secure the victory.
2013 Toyota Save Mart 350 Winner - Martin Truex Jr. wins the 2013 Toyota/Save Mart 350
For Martin Truex Jr., a welcome oasis called Sonoma Raceway at long last ended one of the longest droughts in NASCAR racing. With a convincing victory in Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350, Truex ended a winless streak of 218 races dating to June 4, 2007 at Dover, where he finished 7.355 seconds ahead of runner-up Ryan Newman.
On Sunday at Sonoma, Truex beat second-place Jeff Gordon by an even bigger margin -- 8.133 seconds -- as Juan Pablo Montoya dropped from the second position after running out of fuel on the next-to-last lap. Truex set a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series record for the largest number of races between a driver's first and second victories.
Carl Edwards ran third, followed by Kurt Busch, who rallied from consecutive pit road speeding penalties to score his fourth top five of the season. Clint Bowyer, last year's winner, came home fifth, followed by Kasey Kahne and Marcos Ambrose. Greg Biffle, series points leader Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick completed the top 10. Montoya, who was running second with two laps left, fell to 34th at the finish after running out of fuel.
Varying pit strategies scrambled the field after the cars of Kyle Busch and Edwards tangled on Lap 82 to cause the seventh caution of the race. Led by Truex, the top 15 cars stayed on the track, all close on fuel to finish the race. Johnson restarted 16th on two new tires, while Joey Logano, Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. led a group that changed four tires under the yellow. The new tires made a difference, as Gordon, Kurt Busch and Bowyer all charged into the top five.
But staying out was a winning move for Truex, who built a five-second lead with 10 laps left and cruised to the drought-ending victory.
2012 Toyota Savemart 350 Winner - Clint Bowyer wins Toyota/SaveMart 350
Few people would have been shocked if Clint Bowyer had just faded into the background Sunday afternoon. He had only experienced a modest amount of success on road courses in recent years and was on a team that had not yet won this season.
Instead, Bowyer was front and center, soaking up the adulation after of one of the more surprising victories in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this season.
Bowyer, who qualified sixth and had never won on a road course, held off former race winners Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch in a green-white-checkered finish to win a fairly peaceful Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma raceway.
Bowyer was leading the race when a caution flag came out with less than five laps to go. But he had an excellent restart with two laps left and maintained his lead over Busch through the first two tight turns.
From there, Bowyer pulled away from the pack to earn his first Cup victory since he won at Talladega (Ala.) last October. He led 71 of 112 laps and is the eighth different winner at Sonoma in the last eight years, although his Toyota did run out of fuel before it reached victory lane.
2011 Toyota/Savemart 350 Winner - Kurt Busch cruises in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway
Before his opening practice laps for this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in California wine country, Kurt Busch was asked to grade his Penske Racing team.
Busch assigned it a B-plus - a promising, if at times struggling, effort with no victories.
That changed Sunday when Busch and his team brought their "A" game with a dominant victory in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway, which ended a winless streak at 38 races for the 2004 series champion.
Jeff Gordon finished second, Cup points leader Carl Edwards was third and Clint Bowyer finished fourth in front of about 93,000.
For the cars behind Busch's No. 22 Dodge, however, the racing was a lot more ragged. That was especially true for Tony Stewart and Brian Vickers, who wrote the latest chapter under NASCAR's "Boys, have at it" doctrine of trying to let drivers settle disputes among themselves.
2010 Champion
Jimmie Johnson started second in the 43-car field and led 55 of the 110 laps in claiming victory number four of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Mr. Johnson benefited from a costly mistake by Marcos Ambrose during a caution period in the closing laps to win Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
"I didn't think at first that he had shut the car off going up the hill. That's just the last place you would probably do it, so I thought maybe he ran out of fuel or had an electrical problem, you know, something major, because the car just came to a stop. I'm like, wow!"
