Adam Alexander: Turner Sports is proud to bring back the TNT Summer Series presented by Toyota for the first time in six years. We're looking forward to making history for the first time in NASCAR. We will have five road course races back to back across a seven day period. Those tracks are Sonoma Raceway where we are this afternoon, Road America, Circuit Gilles  Villeneuve, the Daytona Road Course and capping off the five stretch one week today at Watkins Glen International. Any driver that win in this five race stench will receive a 75,000 dollar bonus ,and will become a finalist for the three million dollar Monster Energy Summer Showdown payout race at WWT Raceway (Gateway) in August. If one of those five drivers win the Rev Auto Group 300 then the driver, their charity and one lucky fan will each collect a million dollars. If none of the five drivers win the highest finishing driver received  200k. But back to this track welcome to the beautiful Sonoma Raceway in the heart of wine country. Hello everybody I'm Adam Alexander here with Wally Dallenbach, Kyle Petty and Road course ace AJ Allmendinger. We're glad to have you with us. Guys...Sonoma Raceway we know is a tough track for just one car to get around ,then you put 43 cars out there where in the world do you pass on this track?

AJ Allmendinger: Well my personal favorite way to pass is using the chrome horn. But I think the most challenging way to pass is under braking. There's a couple places here you want to set a guy up. Going across the Start/Finish, Turn 4, 7, and 11.

Adam Alexander: And where's the easiest place to pass?

Kyle Petty: Probably in Pit Lane!

Adam Alexander: And now lets head trackside for today's command.

Track Announcer: Race fans, It's time for the most famous words in Motorsports!!! Giving you the words is 3 time NBA Champion Stephen Curry!

Steph Curry: Drivers...START YOUR ENGINES!!!
