When you hear rumbling and roaring in downtown Sacramento on Thursday, June 23, no need to worry, it’s the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series coming to town. Sacramento has long been a hotbed for NASCAR, and race fans will be rewarded during race week with a parade of more than 50 NASCAR haulers through the streets around the State Capitol under a full police escort.
That’s right, you’ll see haulers from Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson and every other driver on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit. This marks the first ever hauler parade in Northern California and raceway officials are thrilled to bring it to Sacramento, home to some of our most avid race fans. This will serve as the Sacramento kickoff to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 weekend in Sonoma, June 24-26. The parade will begin promptly at 2 p.m. on Thursday as the haulers depart their staging area and cross the Tower Bridge, heading for the State Capitol.
