Pinnacle Financial and 23XI Racing are partnering for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, the team announced May 20.

Pinnacle will sponsor Tyler Reddick‘s No. 45 in two races this season. The first will be at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1, followed by Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 13.

Pinnacle has partnered with Reddick since when Reddick was in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

“Our team has enjoyed the partnership with Pinnacle since Tyler joined the team, and we’re excited to grow our relationship with Pinnacle to more prominently feature their brand on the No. 45 car,” 23XI President Steve Lauletta said in a release. “Much like 23XI, Pinnacle is driven to be impactful for their clients, their employees and their community, and we look forward to developing more programs and activations with them.”

“The group at Pinnacle has played such an important role in my career, and I’m honored to have the chance to represent them in a greater way through this partnership expansion,” Reddick added. “From supporting me earlier in my career to continuing to believe in me and what we’re doing at 23XI, I’m excited to represent all the associates at Pinnacle and look forward to having a great opening race with them in Nashville.”

Reddick currently has three top fives and four top 10s and is sixth in points.

Bigger. Better. Together. The powersports industry’s ultimate network is back. The DealerConnect 2025 event happens September 21-23, 2025, at the Hilton Columbus Downtown. The National Powersports Dealer Association will host a powerhouse speaker lineup. The two-day agenda offers real strategies, real connections and real results.

“DealerConnect brings dealers together with topflight trainers, educators, service providers and 20 Clubs so we can learn from our peers and come away with real strategies that will drive results,” noted Bob Kee, NPDA chairman of the board. “You’ll hear from top names like NPA’s Jim Woodruff and Mike Murray, Mark Sheffield and Lightspeed’s Bryan Tierney and Danny Orendain — with more speakers to come.”

Garage Composites Rejoins the DealerConnect 2025 Event

Garage Composites recognized NPDA’s mission early and supported the inaugural DealerConnect. They will return in 2025 to lead multiple sessions again.

“Garage Composites was founded on the principle of ‘show me your numbers, and I will show your behaviors,’” explained co-founder Sam Dantzler. “Our 20 Clubs are centered wholly around our progressive, buildable and seamless composite that is simple to upload your numbers to.”

Scheduling conflicts stopped their full team from attending last year. In 2025, they’ll send all five team leaders for a full court press. Sam Dantzler and Tony Gonzalez — “The Twin Towers” of dealer education — will lead the charge.

The Garage Composites All-Stars will attend DealerConnect 2025, alongside NPDA’s other key partners. Meet them face-to-face, ask questions and build dealer connections that matter. Register now to connect, learn and plan your success.

NASCAR is headed to Wine Country.

The relentless Cup Series schedule is on a North American tour, with recent stops in Mexico City, the Pocono Mountains and Downtown Chicago. Next up is a visit to the road course of Sonoma Raceway in the Bay Area.

The 12-turn track has been a mainstay on the schedule since 1989, with several tricky sections making life difficult for the world’s best stock car drivers.

So, what’s in store for Sonoma this year? What’s the TV schedule for the weekend? And who could contend for the win on Sunday? Here’s everything you need to know for Toyota/Save Mart 350:

When is the NASCAR race in Sonoma?

The Toyota/Save Mart 350 is set for Sunday, July 13, at 3:50 p.m. ET.

Before the race, there will be practice and qualifying on Saturday. The 37 drivers will be split into two groups, with each group getting 25 minutes of free practice. For qualifying, each group will get 20 minutes to set their fastest lap, with the starting order set based on single-lap speed for the two groups combined.

NASCAR TV schedule this weekend for Sonoma

Adam Alexander (play-by-play), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (analyst) and Steve Letarte (analyst) will be on the call for TNT, with Shannon Spake, Parker Kligerman and Jamie McMurray providing pre- and post-race coverage.

Here’s the full schedule for Sonoma:

Get to know NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney.

NASCAR picks, predictions, favorites for Sonoma

Shane van Gisbergen is going for three straight — and he’ll be tough to beat in Sonoma.

The Trackhouse Racing star has won the last two road course races in Mexico City and Chicago. Van Gisbergen, 36, has dominated at this track type during his first full-time season since coming over from New Zealand. While he’s never started a Cup Series race at Sonoma, he did win the second-tier Xfinity Series event last June.

If you’re looking for a more experienced racer at this track, there are four drivers to keep an eye on: Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher and Michael McDowell.

The Hendrick Motorsports teammates are two of the series’ best road racer. Larson, a Northern California native from Elk Grove, has two wins at his home track with five first-place starts. Elliott is still winless at the track, but he has seven straight top-10 starts and four straight top-10 finishes (with three top-fives).

McDowell and Buescher are also winless in Sonoma, but they’ve both been knocking on the door in recent years. The Spire Motorsports driver (McDowell) won Stage 1 in Chicago last week before a mechanical failure. He was second in Sonoma last year and has three straight top-10s. Buescher, meanwhile, has finished second, fourth and third in the last three years, leading 32 laps last June.

The winning pick for Sonoma is McDowell, who will be eager to avenge his disappointment last week when he looked capable of challenging van Gisbergen.

NASCAR past winners, race history for Sonoma

Just three of the 37 drivers in the field are past winners in Sonoma.

Larson (2021, 2024) and Busch (2008, 2015) have two wins apiece, while Suárez was victorious in 2022. All of the other winners in the past 15 years have retired or moved to part-time racing, including Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch and Clint Bowyer.

NASCAR pit stops are a sport themselves with how much planning goes into a perfect pit stop. Here’s what you need to know about what happens during a pit stop.

Michael Roberts Construction, Inc. (MRC) will partner with Zane Smith and the No. 38 team for the 110-lap event. MRC is one of Northern California’s preeminent commercial contractors with expertise in private and public general construction projects from new, ground up buildings to commercial building tenant improvements and renovating existing facilities in all building categories. For more information, visit https://mrcbuilt.com/.

The No. 38 MRC Ford Mustang Dark Horse hood will feature a “Honoring our Great Fathers” design that pays tribute to the racing dads of driver Zane Smith and MRC president and founder Mike Avila, who considers Zane to be like a second son to him. Avila is a world and national champion boat racer. Mike’s father, Richard Avila, was also a national champion boat racer who was instrumental in guiding Mike’s boat racing career. In a similar vein, Zane’s father, Mike Smith, a long-time and successful race truck builder in off-road racing, has been very instrumental in guiding Zane’s auto racing career. The special MRC hood design includes a collage of images of their fathers over the years.

“I’m excited to represent MRC this weekend,” said Smith. “Mike Avila has been one of my longest and most loyal supporters. He’s been with me through nearly every stop in my career, including when we won the Truck Series championship in 2022. Together, Mike and I wanted to honor both of our fathers for the love and support they provided each of us as we built our own racing careers.”

Fabrizio Giugiaro’s Peralta S to make US debut at Monterey Motorsports Festival 2025

Words: Nathan Chadwick | Photography: GFG Style

The Peralta S – the Fabrizio Giugiaro-designed one-off supercar created for collector Carlos Peralta – will be making its US debut at the Monterey Motorsports Festival on Saturday August 16, 2025.

Inspired by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept car, the Peralta S uses the current MC20’s carbon-monocoque underpinnings, which means it is powered by a 621bhp twin-turbocharged V6. Produced by GFG Style, the company set up by Fabrizio and Giorgetto in 2015, the body is made from hand-formed, mirror-polished aluminium that covers the length of the car. Only the sills, rear diffuser and front spoiler are made from carbonfibre.

A front-hinged canopy extends upwards to reveal the interior of the Peralta S. It also eschews traditional windows – instead, they open gullwing-style each side. The wheels are also bespoke, inspired by the Boomerang’s originals, although there is a nod to the future courtesy of an LED headlight strip in the nose. Inside, the interior has been reworked with lashings of leather on the surfaces, but the pressures of modern homologation mean that the unique Boomerang steering wheel couldn’t be replicated in the new car.

The Peralta S made its world debut at the Pastejé Automotive Invitational vehicle show in Mexico earlier this year; it is believed that the model is to remain a one-off.

“The Peralta S has a typical 1970s attitude, and has nothing to do with today’s cars,” said Fabrizio. “I wanted to embellish it with citations, styling cues and references to shapes from a past that made history, but it is also a tribute to my father, through a modern reinterpretation of the volumes of the Boomerang.”

In other news, the Monterey Motorsports Festival will also be hosting a talk from classic car detective Laura Kukuk on car collecting, with tips on pre-purchase inspections, authenticity checks and forensic vehicle analysis.
