NASCAR Qualifying Today: Sonoma start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series is at its second road course in as many weeks, with qualifying taking place on Saturday, July 12th, ahead of the Toyota / Save Mart 350 on Sunday.

The action in northern California this weekend comes after a trip to the streets of Chicago last time out, where Shane van Gisbergen took his second win of the year to boost his playoff progression chances.

Kyle Larson won last year's Cup Series race on the famous track, but Van Gisbergen is the overwhelming favorite for this weekend's race in his rookie season, as he continues his astonishing work at road courses.

The Kiwi can equal the season lead with a third win this weekend and, after taking pole on Friday for the Xfinity Series race for the second year in a row, few would bet against him leading Saturday's session.

With that said, let's take a look at the details you need to know ahead of Saturday's qualifying action.
