The 5 HMS Chevrolet was one of the many contenders throughout the race at Sonoma Raceway which saw Kyle Larson stay ahead of the early race troubles and played his strategy to perfection instantly took Kyle Larson back into victory lane at Sonoma Raceway! This is Kyle Larson's 26th career win in the Nascar Cup Series and his third win of the 2024 season, which gives the 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet even more playoff points when the postseason begins in the fall!

Getting An Early Delivery Home

Joe Gibbs Racing had a very difficult weekend at Sonoma Raceway that continued during the race as the former championship leader didn't even get the chance to break a sweat after Denny Hamlin's engine blew up. The 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota started the race in 25th place for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway but unfortunately fell down to 29th place before the motor blew up on the 3rd lap of the race and effectively ended Denny Hamlin's day in Sonoma, CA. This is Denny Hamlin's second retirement of the 2024 Nascar Cup Series season and his new worst finish of the year that unfortunately drops the 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team down to 3rd in points and he'll look to rebound during next weekend's inaugural race at Iowa.
