Massey Seeks Valuable Road Course Experience at Sonoma
| Race Information Venue: Sonoma Raceway Event: General Tire 150 Date: Friday, June 26th Location: Sonoma, CA Track Description: 1.99-mile road course Distance: 47 laps, 93.53 miles (3:30 p.m. PT, 6:30 p.m. ET, FloRacing) |
| Wine Country Whereabouts… The next stop for Mason Massey and the No. 19 NAPA Auto Care team for Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) is Sonoma Raceway, the site for race seven of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW) season. The 1.99-mile Northern California road course marks the halfway point in the season and the first of two consecutive road courses on the AMSW schedule. Massey and the No. 19 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet SS will race around the golden hills of Sonoma, Calif. Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. ET. Valuable Road Course Opportunity… Massey has made 99 career NASCAR starts, but only one has come on a road course. Friday’s General Tire 150 at Sonoma Raceway presents an opportunity to gain additional road racing experience while contending for his second AMSW victory of the season. The field is comprised of series regulars and void of NASCAR Cup Series drivers that have typically moonlighted in this event, providing Massey a perfect opportunity to seize his first road course victory. After making his lone road course start in 2024 at Circuit of The Americas, the Douglasville, Ga. native is eager to tackle right turns for just the second time in his career this weekend. Season to Date… Six races into the AMSW season, the driver of the No. 19 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet SS owns one victory from the season opener at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and five top-five finishes. Massey currently sits second in the championship standings and will look to gain ground with a strong result Friday evening. The No. 19 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet SS has led 32 laps through the first six races of the season and will have 47 more circuits to add to that total at Sonoma Raceway. Tune In… Coverage from Sonoma, Calif. begins Friday night at 6:30 p.m. ET on FloRacing for the General Tire 150 at Sonoma Raceway.

Mason Massey Quote: “Sonoma is certainly going to be a challenge for me personally, but I’m really excited for the opportunity to do this in ARCA West, where I can go at my pace and learn as the weekend goes on. My NAPA Auto Care team is going to unload a race winning capable car and it will be my job to drive it to the front. I’m looking forward to taking on this challenge and seeing what we can accomplish Friday evening at Sonoma Raceway.” |
