Gibbs Tops Hocevar in Sonoma Duel

Ty Gibbs edges out Carson Hocevar by a hair to snag the pole for the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown between two hungry drivers aiming for their first Cup Series wins. Gibbs, confident in his car’s pace, holds a slim advantage over Hocevar, who’ll start right beside him. Kyle Larson, the defending champ, lines up third, chasing his first win of the season, while Michael McDowell rounds out the top four. Van Gisbergen, once a favorite, spins out in sixth, and Bubba Wallace’s day goes sideways after a tire mishap that dumps him to the rear. With Sonoma’s tricky road course and a loaded field, the race promises fireworks — and all eyes are on Gibbs and Hocevar as they battle for the lead.
