MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 4, 2024) – Michael McDowell and the No. 34 team return to the Sonoma Raceway this weekend with high expectations of a strong run on the NASCAR Cup Series’ second road course of the season.
The past few races at Sonoma have been very good for the 34 crew, with back-to-back Top-5 qualifying efforts (fourth and third, respectively) and two-straight Top-10 finishes, including a seventh-place result last year.

DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“I can’t wait for Sonoma. We want to get back into the top-five and get a good result. Travis and the team are working hard to prepare the car. Sonoma is going to be tough, especially with the repave, but I think last year we really hit on it. I really like racing this new car on road courses. I’m really comfortable in it and it has helped us.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“Everything we have seen says Sonoma is going to be faster, which is going to be interesting. Sonoma has always been a ‘manage your stuff, tire fall off’ road course, so it will be interesting to see how it changes the game. I believe in Michael’s road course abilities, so I think when you do something new it gives us a leg up on competition. Sonoma hit’s a wheelhouse of races that are good for Michael and good for us that we have good notes on. Hopefully we can execute well and get a win.”
