Sonoma Raceway is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019, and on Tuesday the track unveiled its logo for the anniversary season.

The raceway kicked off its celebrations earlier this year, marking the 50th anniversary of the facility’s groundbreaking on Aug. 14, 1968.

The raceway hosted its first non-spectator event, an SCCA Enduro, on Dec. 1, 1968, and went on to host its first full season of racing in 1969, which included NHRA drag racing, AMA motorcycle racing and SCCA road racing.

The 2019 major event schedule will be highlighted by the 31st return of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 (June 21-23) and the 32nd NHRA Sonoma Nationals (July 26-28).
