Shane van Gisbergen claimed victory in the NASCAR Cup Series event at Sonoma Raceway, extending his dominance on road‑course layouts and securing his second win of the season.
A Commanding Performance on the Final Stretch
He led 74 of the last 83 laps, pulling away from the competition and finishing 0.357 seconds ahead of Chase Briscoe, who settled for second place.
Ty Gibbs, Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell rounded out the top five, underscoring the competitive nature of the race and the depth of talent on the Sonoma road course.
In‑Season Challenge Shockwaves
The playoff‑style In‑Season Challenge produced unexpected results, with Tyler Reddick, the top seed, dropping to 36th after a power‑steering failure, while Denny Hamlin advanced despite finishing 26th.
Alex Bowman also moved forward in the standings despite missing four races due to vertigo, and Ty Dillon’s power‑steering issue forced him to finish 35th.
NASCAR will next head to Chicagoland Speedway for a 400‑mile race on July 5, promising another high‑stakes showdown.
