Summary
NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge exploded at Sonoma, with Shane van Gisbergen lighting things up and half the field already eliminated. Big names like Hamlin, Blaney, and Larson advanced, but the real shocker was Alex Bowman — the lowest seed — pulling off a stunning upset over top seed Tyler Reddick. Chicagoland looms next, a track absent from Cup Series action for seven years, and the drama’s just heating up. Ty Gibbs dominated stages, Todd Gilliland survived chaos, and the biggest showdown? Kyle Larson vs. William Byron — Hendrick teammates locked in a battle that could define their seasons. The brackets are shattered, the stakes are sky-high, and Chicagoland is about to become a warzone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
