Whether it's two wheels, four wheels or 7,000 horsepower, you'll find it at Infineon Raceway during the 2007 Big O Tires Racing Season.

The Sonoma Valley facility will feature the most diverse motor racing schedule in the country, highlighted by the 19th consecutive visit by the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. Overall, the raceway will host seven major events in 2007, ranging from the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series to the IndyCar® Series.

The 2007 schedule will be headlined by the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350, June 22-24. Vallejo native Jeff Gordon not only notched his record fifth victory at Infineon Raceway in 2006, but he also announced his engagement to Ingrid Vandebosch. The three-day event, one of the biggest sporting weekends in Northern California, will also feature the Blue Lizard Suncream 200 NASCAR Grand National Division West Series, presented by Supercuts, June 23.

"Once again, Northern California fans will have an opportunity to experience every major form of professional racing at one facility. It should be another phenomenal year," said Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway.

In addition to NASCAR, the upcoming season will again feature back-to-back weekends of world-class drag racing, beginning with the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series for the 20th annual FRAM Autolite NHRA Nationals, July 27-29.

Seven of eight professional track records were reset in 2006, including a 331.36-mph blast by Top Fuel driver David Grubnic. A world record was also set in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Infineon Raceway continues to be one of the quickest and fastest drag strips in the country, and similar results are expected for 2007.

The following weekend, August 3-5, will feature the Cal-Steam/KOHLER Division 7 NHRA drag races, presented by Korbel; a number of NHRA POWERade regulars competed in the 2006 event, including Top Alcohol Dragster winner Morgan Lucas.

The IndyCar® Series and the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series will also return to Infineon Raceway for the Motorola Indy 300, presented by Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel, August 24-26. History was made in 2006 as Marco Andretti became the youngest driver (19 years old) in the world to win a major open-wheel event.

Two-wheel racing will also take center stage at Infineon Raceway in two different forms. The Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, will kick-off the 2007 season, May 18-20. This will mark the 18th consecutive year the AMA has visited the Sonoma Valley.

Pedal-powered two-wheel racing will take over the Infineon Raceway facility for the fourth consecutive year during the Infineon Cougar Mountain Classic, July 5-8.
