## Resource

Shane van Gisbergen storms from the pole position at Sonoma after a blistering qualifying lap, edging out young gun Brent Crews and setting up a strong title shot. The road-course ace, who captured this race last year, is riding high with JR Motorsports and is confident his fast car can dominate. Meanwhile, defending champ Connor Zilisch hit a rough patch with a tire blowout, plummeting to 30th and facing a brutal climb. Taylor Gray, Anthony Alfredo, and Parker Retzlaff also line up near the front, while Hendrick’s Corey Day and playoff lock Justin Allgaier (10th) add firepower. Practice saw Corey Day fastest, but chaos struck when Austin Green’s car suffered major damage from a suspected brake failure — all setting the stage for a wild, wind-whipped showdown.
