RaceWorz Sonoma Welcomes Noel Gugliemi

RaceWorz is revving its engines at Sonoma Raceway this weekend, June 13–15, 2025, inviting car and bike enthusiasts to three days of nonstop drag-race excitement and celebrity meet-and-greets. In a recent Instagram post, the team behind @raceworz rallied fans with a simple message: “We here @raceworz Come visit us this wknd, we want to meet ya all and say what’s up!!!! Hope to see ya all there 👊💯🙏.”

Meet Fast & Furious’ Hector At The Track

Headlining this year’s guest list is Noel Gugliemi (@actornoelg), the Los Angeles–born actor best known for his role as Hector in four installments of the Fast & Furious franchise. Born January 19, 1969, Gugliemi has parlayed his early life experiences into a decades-long career, appearing in films such as Bad Boys II, The Green Hornet and Gang Related. Off-screen, he’s become a fixture on the convention circuit and uses his platform to speak on community outreach and positive change.

More Than Movies: Meet The Other Guests

RaceWorz Sonoma won’t just be about engines and exhaust fumes. Alongside Gugliemi, fans will find:
• Steve Villegas (@iamstevevillegas), known for his turn as Marco Guzman on CBS’s SWAT series.
• Sibling duo Ryan Ochoa (@ryanochoa) and Raymond Ochoa (@raymondochoa12), both rising talents in film and television.
• Influencer and stylist Gina Cantu (@ginacantu123), ready to bring her fashion eye to the pits.
• DJ Ziggy Bass (@djziggybass) on the decks, plus RaceWorz’s own Matt (@raceworz_matt) keeping the energy high.
