Jamie McMurray won the pole with a new track record time of 74.354 and a speed of 96.350 mph km/h on. "This race is about having good strategy and having a little bit of luck," McMurray said. "It's about not getting run into in Turn 4 or Turn 7 on a restart. I've run enough races here that I've had every issue you could have with running out of gas ... to getting wrecked in Turn 7 on a restart because someone from 15th dive-bombed me into the corner with no chance of making it." "Well that wasn't what we expected," Bowyer said. "We were fast all day (Friday), just didn't have enough grip and missed Turn 4. We will just have to pass a few more cars (Sunday)."http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/06/Jamie-McMurray-Wins-Sonoma-Pole.aspx McMurray Wins Sonoma Pole (Again) Long Dustin Motor Racing Network June 21, 2014 MRN.com June 21, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140627003458/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/06/Jamie-McMurray-Wins-Sonoma-Pole.aspx June 27, 2014 dead Qualifying results Pos No. Car number Driver Team Manufacturer R1 Best Time in Round 1 R2 Best Time in Round 2 1 1 Jamie McMurray Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet 74.657 74.354 2 47 A.

The race was scheduled to start at 3:15 p.m. Eastern time, but started seven minutes later, with Jamie McMurray leading the field to the green. A. J. Allmendinger put pressure on him for the first few laps but was unable to take the lead. Defending race winner Martin Truex Jr. made an unscheduled stop on lap seven for a vibration, while Allmendinger wrested the lead from McMurray on lap nine. Kyle Busch nicked Brad Keselowski in turn 11, which forced Keselowski down the order by 8 spots. While describing his car as "bad", Keselowski reckoned he "deserved to get spun out". Kevin Harvick took the lead from Allmendinger on lap 22, before the first caution of the race came out on lap 31 after Landon Cassill blew an engine. During pit stops under the caution, Allmendinger retook the lead. Allmendinger led the field to the green on the restart on lap 35. Casey Mears got boxed in at turn 7a and sustained heavy damage that forced him to make an unscheduled pit stop the next lap, while Kasey Kahne also sustained damage. Second half McMurray retook the lead from Allmendinger on lap 54, before he pulled off to pit and handed the lead to Jeff Gordon. Harvick was able to take the lead from Gordon, when Gordon pitted on lap 58. The second caution of the race occurred on lap 61, as Ryan Truex stalled in the esses. Most of the cars on the lead lap stayed out, with Harvick leading the field to the restart on lap 65. Jimmie Johnson took the lead from Harvick exiting turn 4, before the third caution of the race came out on lap 71 for debris. Joey Logano stayed out during the cycle of pit stops under caution to take the lead. The race restarted on lap 75 with Clint Bowyer taking the lead from Logano, going into turn 7a. The fourth caution flew for a hard wreck in the esses. Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car hopped over a curb and collided with Matt Kenseth and sent him head on into the tire barriers. He was able to extricate himself from his wrecked car. Closing stage The race restarted on lap 80 with Bowyer leading the field but he surrendered the lead to Marcos Ambrose in turn 1. Johnson also passed Bowyer for second, going into turn 11. Bowyer was then turned around by McMurray and was then hit by Harvick. Harvick's stranded car forced the race to go under caution for the fifth time. The race restarted with 25 laps to go with Ambrose leading the way, but he lost the lead to Carl Edwards. Earnhardt Jr. pinned Allmendinger into the wall coming to the line, causing substantial damage to Allmendinger's car. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was hit by Brian Vickers to bring out the sixth caution, with 20 laps to go. Finish The race was restarted 16 laps to go, and Edwards held off a last lap charge by Gordon to win for the first time on a road course, in NASCAR. He later described his race as "real tough", and his victory as "very special".http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/06/Edwards-Sonoma-Road-Warrior.aspx Edwards Sonoma Road Warrior Pistone Pete Motor Racing Network June 22, 2014 MRN.com June 22, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140627003448/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/06/Edwards-Sonoma-Road-Warrior.aspx June 27, 2014 dead Gordon stated that he had been "overdriving" his car, and he wished he "had just stayed smooth and stuck with it", while chasing Edwards towards the end.http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/6/22/toyota-save-mart-350-race-recap-results-sonoma.html Edwards gets first road race win at Sonoma Spencer Reid NASCAR Media Group, LLC.
