## Resource

Denny Hamlin clawed back the points lead after a brutal Sonoma stumble for Tyler Reddick, while Kyle Larson’s hot streak continues with five top-fives in six races. Christopher Bell finally got clean air to finish fifth, recovering physically for Chicagoland. Shane van Gisbergen stunned with a Sonoma win but faces a tough test on the twisty track. Playoff spots are tightening—Briscoe and Preece surge, while Cindric and Jones hang on—and Chicagoland could be the make-or-break race for everyone.
