Ty Gibbs Sweeps First Two Stages, Earns First Top-Five Finish at Sonoma
Ty Gibbs had plenty of speed in Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, leading to a new career-best finish at the site in the Cup Series. As the polesitter for the race, Gibbs began the race from first and showed plenty of speed early. The No. 54 Toyota driver went on to lead every lap in the first stage and win it, earning 10 stage points. In the second stage, Gibbs pitted during the stage break and fell back to the middle of the pack. He spent the entire stage regaining positions, but cycled back to the lead on lap 53 as others went to pit road before the end of the stage. Gibbs then went on to win the second stage and earn 10 further stage points. In the final stage, Ty Gibbs went to pit road during the stage break, was shuffled back into the field, and spent most of the stage moving back to the front. After a clean green flag pit stop, Gibbs went from the back half of the top 10 and up to third at the end of the race, but was too far behind Shane Van Gisbergen and Chase Briscoe to compete for the win. This was Gibbs' first career top-5 finish in the Cup Series at Sonoma, and he now moves to fourth in the regular-season Cup standings after 18 races.
