## Resource

Denny Hamlin’s hot streak just hit new heights—his eighth win at Pocono ties him for ninth all-time and puts him within striking distance of Tyler Reddick, now just 19 points behind. Reddick, who led laps at Pocono, eyes a comeback on the new San Diego street course, where his road-course prowess could shine. Kyle Larson’s speed is undeniable, finishing fifth at Pocono and showing signs of a win right around the corner. Chase Elliott, though not top-ten at Pocono, remains a road-course threat with seven wins already under his belt. Meanwhile, Erik Jones ties for the final playoff spot after a solid sixth at Pocono—can Legacy Motor Club keep this momentum alive on the new San Diego track?
