Last week at Chicago we saw a familiar sight, SVG in Victory Lane as he’s now won 2 of the 3 Cup races and 3 of the 4 NASCAR races he’s raced in there. Next up we head to another track where it wouldn’t be a surprise to see SVG in Victory Lane again, Sonoma. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Sonoma Raceway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Sonoma.

Active means any driver who started a race in the 2025 Cup Series season.
