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.

Corey Heim seals first Cup win on Coronado street course, reshaping the playoff picture

Corey Heim earned his first NASCAR Cup victory on the Naval Base Coronado street course driving a part-time 23XI entry, holding off Tyler Reddick as Bubba Wallace fought back from an early wheel issue to finish second. Shane van Gisbergen wrecked and dropped from Chase contention, while Reddick lost ground in the title race. Ryan Preece posted the day’s best points haul to move back inside the top 16, AJ Allmendinger stayed in striking distance with a top‑five, and Kevin Magnussen delivered a memorable Cup debut amid on-track drama. Christopher Bell and Austin Hill faced trouble, and a separate O'Reilly race incident capped a chaotic San Diego weekend. Heim's performance also secures a future full-time ride with 23XI in 2027.
