NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 2018 16 2018-06-24 2018-06-24 https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/thumb/lhl7vt1530180761.jpg https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/poster/njwd8w1529949522.jpg The 2018 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race held on June 24, 2018 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps on the 1.99-mile (3.20 km) road course, it was the 16th race of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. Driving conservatively with a massive lead over the final 10 laps, Truex crossed the finish line 10.513 seconds ahead of Harvick, who passed Elliott for the second spot on Lap 102. Two laps later, Bowyer got by Elliott to finish third. WINNER: Martin Truex Jr., relying on excellent pit strategy from his crew chief, won the race in a breeze, finishing 10.51 seconds in front of Kevin Harvick. Truex recorded his third win of the season and the second of his career at Sonoma Raceway. Truex's crew chief Cole Pearn pretended to call Truex to the pits with a little less than 40 laps to go in the final stage, prompting Harvick, who was leading at the time, to hit pit road. But Pearn then quickly told Truex to stay out, a move that resulted in Truex being able to use fresher tires later in the stage to blow past the leaders and open a huge lead. 573520
