Summary
Shane van Gisbergen crossed the line first at Sonoma, but Joe Gibbs Racing dominated the weekend—every driver leaving with a win or a podium. Chase Briscoe nearly stole it, finishing second after a gutsy late charge that ended with him glued to van Gisbergen’s bumper, frustrated he let a better car slip away. Ty Gibbs nailed his first road course pole and led JGR in points with a third, smartly focusing on stage wins. Christopher Bell, racing with a fractured wrist, stunned everyone with a top-five finish. Denny Hamlin, despite a late spin that dropped him to 26th, seized the championship lead thanks to others’ misfortunes—now just one point ahead of Tyler Reddick, who had a rough day. It’s a pivotal moment: JGR’s four drivers are now stronger contenders in the Chase. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
