The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will tackle a road course on Sunday when they compete in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
Denny Hamlin won the circuit's last event over the weekend, the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Paul Menard, Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin, and Brian Vickers rounded out the Top 10 at Michigan.
Kevin Harvick was 14th at the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400, Jeff Gordon was 17th, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 21st, and Jimmie Johnson ended up in 27th place.
Edwards now leads Harvick by 20 points in the driver standings, with Earnhardt Jr. (-27), Busch (-29), and Johnson (-29) making up the rest of the current Top 5. Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Newman, Hamlin, Bowyer, Stewart, and Gordon also sit above the cutoff line for the Chase after 15 races.
Johnson won the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at the road course at Infineon last season. Kasey Kahne won the event in 2009, and Kyle Busch took the checkered flag in the race in 2008.
Gordon has five career Cup wins at Infineon, visiting Victory Lane there in 2006, 2004, 2000, 1999, and 1998. Stewart (2005 and 2001), Juan Montoya (2007), Robby Gordon (2003), and Mark Martin (1997) also have Cup wins at the Sonoma track.
After racing at Infineon the drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will move on to Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400 on July 2. The other races on the July schedule will take place at Kentucky, New Hampshire, and Indianapolis.
