This weekend might serve as the perfect pairing for NASCAR and IndyCar. NASCAR will visit wine country, with the Cup and Xfinity Series taking on Sonoma Raceway. Meanwhile, IndyCar will be in the land of cheese, as the XPEL Grand Prix is hosted at Road America in Wisconsin. A great pairing for race fans everywhere. Get the charcuterie boards ready with a favorite bottle of wine for Sunday’s racing. As for the Pit Pass Network Predictions, the website welcomes a new member to the crew for predictions: Zach Adams. Will the newbie reign supreme in his first week or will the usual suspects prove superior in this week’s predictions for Sonoma and Road America?
