## Resource

Denny Hamlin seized the NASCAR Cup Series points lead after a chaotic Sonoma race, capitalizing on Tyler Reddick’s disastrous day marred by power steering failure and a 36th-place finish. Hamlin, who spun out late in the race after contact, battled back to finish 26th — but the damage to his car’s nose cost him downforce and momentum. Still, the points swing gave him a two-point edge over Reddick with eight races left. It’s the first time since Reddick’s early-season dominance that someone else leads the standings — and both drivers know the regular season bonus is on the line as they push through adversity.
