Bet 2012 Toyota/Save 350 Odds at Infineon Raceway

The Toyota Savemart 350 at Infineon Raceway may be different and controversial, but maybe that’s why NASCAR fans love it so much. While experts may decry its course length and configuration, it is one of the most popular NASCAR races around.

Infineon Raceway History

This is one of the most unusual races in NASCAR and there are endless debates about where it fits on the NASCAR schedule or if it fits at all. Infineon Raceway is not like other tracks on the circuit. This baby is full of a dozen twists and turns, making the Toyota Savemart 350 a real test of handling and driving skills.

Over the years, the track as well as the race itself has undergone many changes in rules and also how the track was run. History was made in 1991 when Ricky Rudd, who came in first place, was sent back to second place for hitting Davey Allison on purpose. Allison became the winner for that year because of the decision. Over the next few years, the course would change to meet the needs of NASCAR and the length would be shortened and turns would be eliminated and then added again. Fox broadcast the race until the year 2006 when TNT took their place.

Head on up to wine country for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. The Toyota/Save Mart 350 is one of only two Sprint Cup races run on a non-oval track.
