Shane van Gisbergen an Easy Fade in DFS at Dover

Shane van Gisbergen has been the talk of the NASCAR world lately, as the Trackhouse Racing driver now has three wins on the season after his dominating performance at Sonoma last weekend. You can expect SVG to come back to Earth this weekend at Dover, though, as the series returns to oval racing and gets […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. a Solid DFS Option for Dover

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been a positive place-differential machine this season, and that is likely to happen again at Dover Motor Speedway this weekend. Thanks to this weekend's starting lineup being set by the metric, Stenhouse will roll off the starting grid from 34th place when the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 goes green at Dover […]

Justin Haley Has No Major Upside at Dover

Justin Haley has struggled quite a bit this season, as the Spire Motorsports driver currently has an average finish of 22.0 through the first 20 races of the season. Although that is better than his average result last year (23.4), it is still quite a disappointing number, as Haley hasn't shown many real flashes of […]

Cole Custer Has a Surprisingly Good Track Record at Dover

If you're looking for a low-tier driver to roll the dice on this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway, don't overlook Cole Custer. The driver of the No. 41 Ford has just five top-20 finishes in 20 races this season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him add to that number this weekend at "The […]

Ty Dillon Will Start 21st With Spot in In-Season Finals on the Line

Ty Dillon will roll off the starting grid from 21st place for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 thanks to the starting lineup being set by NASCAR's metric.

Chase Elliott Charges to A Finish of Third At Sonoma

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott finished third in this past weekend's race at Sonoma Raceway, the Toyota/Save Mart 350. Elliott started the race from the 13th position, and during the first stage, he quietly worked his way into the top 10 until he went to pit road before the end of the stage. Despite pitting, […]

Chase Briscoe Finishes Second With his First Career Road-Course Top-Five at Sonoma

Chase Briscoe of Joe Gibbs Racing held his best result at Sonoma Raceway this weekend during the Toyota/Save Mart 350. Briscoe began the race from the second position, and during the first stage, he held a strong top-3 running position through most of the stage, only losing one spot to William Byron before he eventually […]

Christopher Bell's Rollercoaster Day Ends With Top-5 Finish at Sonoma

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell had a rollercoaster of a performance during Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway before scoring a top-five finish. Bell started 10th in Sunday's race but quickly showcased that he had a solid car during the first stage. After a few laps, he made it up to as high […]

William Byron Maintains the Regular-Season Points Lead

William Byron had a mostly consistent and solid performance during Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. Byron began the race from third place, but then quickly passed Chase Briscoe for second after just the third lap of the race in the first stage. Byron held second for the rest of the stage until he […]

Kyle Busch Earns A Hard-Fought Top-10 Finish At Sonoma

Kyle Busch of Richard Childress Racing fought through a challenging day in order to finish in the 10th position for Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.

NASCAR Race Results from Sonoma (2025): Shane van Gisbergen Wins Again

Shane van Gisbergen put on a dominating effort at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday afternoon, as the Trackhouse Racing driver won from the pole after leading 97 of the 110 laps en route to his third victory of the season. Chase Briscoe put up a very strong effort on the day as well, finishing 1.128 seconds […]

Tyler Reddick Evades Near Upset to Remain Alive in In-Season Challenge

It looked for most of Sunday's race at Sonoma that Ryan Preece was actually going to upset In-Season Tournament favorite Tyler Reddick to advance to the semifinal against Ty Gibbs, which was very shocking as Preece spent much of Stage 3 inside the top 10, while Reddick was outside of it, even though he is […]

Ty Gibbs One of Three Tylers to Make In-Season Challenge Semifinals

In an odd coincidence, all three NASCAR Cup Series drivers named Tyler advanced to the final four of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge tournament bracket. While Tyler Reddick is not really a surprise, both Ty Dillon and Ty Gibbs definitely were as Dillon isn't a good driver and Gibbs isn't very good yet. Nonetheless, Gibbs benefited mightily […]

Kyle Larson Curiously Mediocre at Sonoma Before Late-Race Crash

Kyle Larson had a curiously mediocre run at Sonoma, a track where he had earned impressive wins twice before in 2021 and 2024 as well as four consecutive poles from 2017-2022. Larson wasn't remotely in contention, spending most of the race between 11th and 20th while his teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott were fast […]

John H. Nemechek Edges Out Teammate to Make In-Season Challenge Semifinal

As usual for the Legacy Motor Club drivers on road courses, neither John Hunter Nemechek nor Erik Jones ran very well at Sonoma on Sunday. But also as usual, Nemechek had more road-course speed than Jones, who was at times battling the slowest cars like Katherine Legge's. That allowed Nemechek to beat Jones to advance […]

Ty Dillon Bumps Alex Bowman to Advance to In-Season Challenge Semifinal

Improbably, Ty Dillon advanced to the semifinal of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge after bumping his opponent Alex Bowman out of the way despite Bowman outrunning Dillon for nearly the entire race. Although his 17th-place finishing position was the best of his career at Sonoma, he still didn't actually run very well as his average running position […]

Can Anyone Beat Shane van Gisbergen at Sonoma?

For a second race weekend in a row, Shane van Gisbergen is the heavy favorite to win the NASCAR Cup Series race. Last week at the Chicago Street Course, Michael McDowell looked like he could contend with SVG, but once McDowell had his mechanical issues, van Gisbergen went on to put on a dominating effort […]

Tyler Reddick Better at Sonoma Than Record Shows

If you just look at finishing position, you'd think Tyler Reddick is pretty bad at Sonoma. His results in four career starts at this track are 19th, 35th, 33rd, and eighth. For one of the elite road course racers in the series, that's pretty bad. But finishing position doesn't tell the whole story. In two […]

Chase Elliott a Prime DFS Option at Sonoma

Chase Elliott is an elite road course racer, and that is especially the case at Sonoma Raceway. Although the Hendrick Motorsports driver has never won in Wine Country, Chase has the third-best average finish (5.7) at Sonoma in the Next Gen era and ranks fourth-best in driver rating over that same time span. He consistently […]

Michael McDowell Struggling a Bit at Sonoma

After showing race-winning speed before mechanical issues struck at the Chicago Street Course last weekend, many people expected Michael McDowell to roll into Sonoma and look like one of the drivers to beat again. However, that was simply not the case this weekend. The No. 71 team was a little disadvantaged in practice on Saturday […]

Christopher Bell Has Never Finished Better Than Ninth at Sonoma

Christopher Bell is one of the elite road course racers in the NASCAR Cup Series, but he has struggled to put it all together at Sonoma Raceway. In four career starts in Wine Country, CBell has two top-10 finishes (in each of the last two seasons) but they were both ninth-place results--which is surprising considering […]

Ryan Blaney Has Top-10 Upside at Sonoma

Ryan Blaney typically isn't the first driver that most people think of when it comes to the NASCAR Cup Series, but the Team Penske driver has been solid at Sonoma Raceway. Over the last seven races in Wine Country, Blaney has posted a top-10 finish five times, and in the three Next Gen races, he […]

Sunday at Sonoma Will Likely Be a Long Race for Bubba Wallace

Bubba Wallace is currently in the thick of the points standings for the final Playoffs spot, as the 23XI Racing driver heads into Sonoma this weekend with a two-point advantage over Ryan Preece for the final postseason position. However, it's going to take a lot of race car improvements for Bubba to maintain that lead. […]
