NASCAR NEXTEL CUP

Toyota/Save Mart 350

Site: Sonoma, Calif. Schedule: Friday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 4 p.m.); Sunday, race (TNT, 12:30 p.m.). Track: Infineon Raceway (permanent road course, 1.99 miles, 10 turns). Race distance: 218.90 miles, 110 laps. Last race: Carl Edwards snapped his 52-race winless streak at Michigan International Speedway. He last won a race on Nov. 6, 2005. Last year: Jeff Gordon combined patience with a fast race car at Infineon Raceway to grab a record ninth road course victory. Gordon took the lead for the first time on lap 49 of the 110-lap Dodge/Save Mart 350. Terry Labonte grabbed the lead after a slick fuel strategy, but Gordon moved back in front on lap 88 and pulled away for his fifth victory at Infineon. Fast facts: The Car of Tomorrow will make its road course debut this weekend. Five of the first six events with those cars have had a margin of victory of less than a second. … Eight of the nine different race winners this season are currently in position to be eligible for the Chase for the Championship. … Edwards’ victory gave Roush his second win of the season — and the first since Matt Kenseth won Feb. 25 at California — and temporarily sidetracked Hendrick Motorsports’ season-long domination. Hendrick cars have won 10 of the 15 races this season. Edwards’ win was only the second of the year for Ford, and it snapped a 13-race winning streak for Chevrolet. No other manufacturer has won a race this season. … Tony Stewart, who is expected to make his 300th career Cup start this weekend, has six top-10 finishes in the last seven races, but remains winless on the season. … Pat Tryson was named crew chief for Kurt Busch on Tuesday, and will be calling the shots this weekend. Next race: LENOX Industrial Tools 300, July 1, Loudon, N.H.

NASCAR BUSCH

AT&T 250

Site: West Allis, Wis. Schedule: Saturday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 2:30 p.m.), race (ESPN2, 5 p.m.). Track: The Milwaukee Mile (oval, 1 mile, 9 degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 250 miles, 250 laps. Last race: Stephen Leicht took advantage of Carl Edwards’ late wreck, then passed good friend Brad Coleman with 13 laps to go to win the Meijer 300 at Sparta, Ky., for his first Busch victory. Last year: Paul Menard took advantage of a mistake by Jason Leffler, then held on in the closing laps to win the AT&T 250. Fast facts: The last two Milwaukee races have been won by Wisconsin natives, Menard and Johnny Sauter. Another, Scott Wimmer, has two third-place finishes and a fourth-place showing over his last three starts. … Caution flags slowed last year’s race 11 times for 58 laps. … Busch regulars have won this race in 15 of the last 16 years. Dale Jarrett was the lone Cup victor in 1995. Next race: Camping World 200, June 30, Loudon, N.H.

Site: West Allis, Wis. Schedule: Friday, qualifying, 3:30 p.m., race (Speed Channel, 5:30 p.m.). Track: The Milwaukee Mile (oval, 1 mile, 9 degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 200 miles, 200 laps. Last race: Travis Kvapil stalked Kyle Busch around Michigan International Speedway, finally passing him with one lap to go to score his first truck win since 2004.

Benson drove past Ron Hornaday Jr. with 41 laps to go, then held off Hornaday on a restart with 25 laps to go for the victory.

Allmendinger won his second straight race, avoiding major trouble in the Champ Car Grand Prix of Cleveland in which Bourdais was knocked out after a spectacular first-lap crash. Fast facts: Bourdais won this race in 2003 and 2004 to join Alex Zanardi (1997-98) as the only drivers to post consecutive victories at Cleveland. … Allmendinger was involved in a nasty wreck during qualifying at Cleveland in 2005 and was hospitalized. He was cleared to race only a few hours before the start and finished second. … Paul Tracy won the 2005 event for his 30th career victory.
