SVG Extends Road-Course Dominance With Sonoma Win

Shane van Gisbergen extended his road-course dominance with a second Sonoma Cup win of the season, using tire-saving and precise braking to control a car that wasn’t perfect as he led 74 of 110 laps. Chase Briscoe closed in late but mistimed a Turn 1 downshift with a few laps to go and finished second. Denny Hamlin’s 26th-place result, aided by Tyler Reddick’s power-steering issue, moved him into the series lead by one point ahead of Reddick, while Christopher Bell fought through a wrist injury to finish fifth and pad his points cushion. The series heads to Chicagoland next.

Pocono Pulse: Hamlin extends Cup lead as Reddick, Byron shine and Preece, SVG, Logano stumble

Denny Hamlin stretched his Cup Regular Season lead with a third consecutive Pocono win, as Tyler Reddick rallied to second and William Byron secured third, signaling momentum ahead of back-to-back road-course races and the debut San Diego street course. Ross Chastain added a strong 8th-place finish on a non-drafting track, keeping the focus on the upcoming road-course swing. In the downturn, Ryan Preece finished 28th after a late fuel issue, Shane van Gisbergen wrecked to finish 31st, and Joey Logano ended 34th after Stage 2 damage, setting up a road-course-heavy stretch with 10 races left before the Chase field is set.

Meanwhile, William Byron faces a summer slump after a strong start, raising questions about his championship prospects, but his past playoff resilience suggests he could rebound. The upcoming playoffs will be critical for both drivers' title ambitions.
