The NASCAR Cup race at Sonoma Raceway is on the verge of breaking the track record for the most cautions. As of the Stage 2 break, there have been eight cautions, with the record being nine set in 1990 during a race won by Rusty Wallace. The race has seen a series of incidents, including a notable collision on Lap 19 in Turn 3A where Chase Briscoe was turned by Austin Cindric, causing Briscoe to spin into Joey Logano and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. There have already been six cautions in the first 36 laps. The chaotic nature of the race has led to frequent restarts and cautions, with many predicting a new record will be set before the race concludes.
