Van Gisbergen Holds Off Briscoe at Sonoma

Shane van Gisbergen edged out Chase Briscoe by just three-tenths of a second to claim his eighth road course win at Sonoma, tying Tony Stewart for second all-time and just one win shy of Jeff Gordon’s record. The victory, secured amid fading car performance and lapped traffic chaos, catapulted van Gisbergen back into the playoff picture—36 points above the cutline. Briscoe, who had a dominant late race, lamented a costly mistake that cost him the win. Meanwhile, Ty Gibbs dominated with a pole-to-third run, Kyle Larson took fourth, and Christopher Bell, battling a broken wrist, stunned with fifth. Connor Zilisch earned his first top-ten, while Tyler Reddick’s power steering woes dropped him to last, handing Denny Hamlin a one-point lead over Reddick in the standings.
