NASCAR will use the Chute at Sonoma

“At the NASCAR Winston West Banquet Monday night in Las Vegas, GEOFF LEE of Sears Point Raceway confirmed what many already knew…that next time NASCAR runs an event there it will be on the new course which is under construction now. There will be a configuration which will be called The Chute and will run from Turn Four to Turn Seven and cut out the twisty bits.”(The Snoop-Racing PR)(11-17-97)
