Shane van Gisbergen Takes Command at Sonoma NASCAR Cup

Victory solidifies his road‑course dominance as the In‑Season Challenge sees unexpected exits

Shane van Gisbergen claimed victory at the Sonoma Raceway NASCAR Cup Series event, leading 74 of the last 83 laps and securing his second win of the season.

The triumph marks his eighth career win on road and street circuits, cementing his reputation as the premier driver in those formats.

Chase Briscoe finished second, crossing the line 0.357 seconds behind van Gisbergen, while Ty Gibbs, Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell completed the top five.

The In‑Season Challenge delivered drama, with top seed Tyler Reddick falling to 36th after a power‑steering failure, while Alex Bowman advanced despite missing four races for vertigo and Denny Hamlin progressed from a 26th‑place finish.

What’s Next for the Series?

NASCAR will head to Chicagoland Speedway on July 5 for a 400‑mile showdown, promising another high‑stakes event as the season progresses.

The series now looks to build on the momentum generated by Sonoma’s surprising outcomes, with teams and drivers preparing for the next challenge.
