NASCAR Betting Online: Originally known as the Banquet 300, the Toyota Save Mart 350 is a 350-kilometer NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event held annually at Infineon Raceway at Sears Point in Sonoma, California. This event is the only one race that is held at non-oval track with 1.99 miles and 12 turns.

Due to the track's unique layout – twelve turns over the 1.99-mile track – Infineon creates a discussion each time a NASCAR race comes to town, with people arguing both the pros and cons of having a road course format on the Sprint Cup schedule.

This race was held for the first time in 1989, as the replacement for the Budweiser 400 at the now-defunct Riverside International Raceway.

Toyota Savemart 350 Race History

In 1998, the circuit for the NASCAR event was shortened from the full 2.52 mile road course to a 1.99 mile road course with the addition of the Chute from turn 4 to turn 7, bypassing turns 5 and 6.

In 2001 the Chute was modified to such that the NASCAR circuit measured 2.0 miles long.

The best driver

Jeff Gordon is the best driver of this NASCAR road race, with five pole positions in 1998-99, 2001, 2004-05, plus five victories in 1998-2000, 2004, 2006 - the most of any driver.

That is a the reason why Jeff Gordon is also the all-time NASCAR leader with a total of nine road-course victories throughout his career.

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!"
