Van Gisbergen Holds Off Briscoe at Sonoma

Shane van Gisbergen pulled off a heart-stopping win at Sonoma, narrowly beating Chase Briscoe by the smallest of margins in a nail-biting finish. It’s his eighth road-course victory in the Cup Series, putting him in rare company with legends like Tony Stewart. The win was especially sweet after a rough previous race, where van Gisbergen admitted to being frustrated by a wreck — and he credited his crew for rallying the car from a tough qualifying session. Briscoe, who had the faster car, blamed himself for a costly late-race mistake, admitting van Gisbergen drove cleaner in those final laps. Ty Gibbs took third after dominating the first two stages, while Tyler Reddick crashed out due to power steering woes. Denny Hamlin still leads the points despite an earlier spin, and the In-Season Challenge delivered some major upsets as lower-seeded drivers advanced.
