Summary
Denny Hamlin seized the NASCAR Cup Series regular season lead by a razor-thin margin after Tyler Reddick’s race-ending power steering failure at Sonoma. Hamlin himself was spun by Carson Hocevar, damaging his car and dropping him to the back — yet he clawed back to score enough points to take the top spot. Reddick’s team is furious over the mechanical meltdown, while Hamlin’s crew chief raves about his resilience. With eight races left, the championship is far from decided — and both drivers know any misstep could cost them everything. The battle is heating up, and every race now carries playoff weight.
