Martin Truex Jr: 10

Martin is the master of Sonoma, ܫand reminded everyone of that today.

Kyle Busch: 9

W꧟on his third race of the season last weekend and fi𒊎nished 2nd today at Sonoma.

Joey Logano: 6

Good fortune b𓄧rought him track position, otherwise he was looking at a finish outside of the top 20.

Chris Buescher: 8

Continues to q🌳uietly produce outstanding results for RFK Racing.

Chase Elliott: 8

A top-five finish was great but he will n♏eed to win to get into the pl🌺ayoffs.

AJ Allmendinger: 7

Not his b♒est road course performance but another solid 6t𝐆h place result.

Michael McDowell: 7

McDowe🅠ll has always b﷽een a great road course racer, and demonstrated that again today.

Kyle Larson: 7

Expectations were high, so eve൲n an 8th place finish seems disappointing.

Christopher Bell: 7

Bell 💙was another driver many expected to see batting for the win, especially given Toyota's s💞trength.

Ross Chastain: 5

Like Logano, he would likely have a finish around 25th had he not gotten theꦉ lucky timing during the first caution.

Kevin Harvick: 7

Just missed the top-ten in his final Sonoma start, but continues t𝓀o pad his points in the championship.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr: 7

A solid 12th pl𝔉ace run for the Daytona 500 winner, who continue𒀰s to impress.

William Byron: 6

Not ♎the perfo🤪rmance many people expected today for the playoff points leader.

Alex Bowman: 6

Another middle-of-the-pack finish for this guy.

Brad Keselowski: 6

A spin early in the race put him in a hole and he was never ab🍒le to recover.

Bubba Wallace: 6

Not the weekend⛎ h🌼e was looking for, especially since Toyota was on point.

Ty Gibbs: 6

Finishing 18th wasn't what he wanted,🍨 but this was his first trip to Sonoma.

Austin Cindric: 3

Penske was out to ▨lunꩵch all weekend, and road racer extraordinaire Cindric was nowhere to be found.

Grant Enfinger: 7

Not a bad Cup debut for Enfinger, who did much better than Gragson would have 💃done.

Aric Almirola: 4

He won the Xfinity Ser🌟ies🌠 race yesterday, but this one went much different.

Chase Briscoe: 4

Struggled like his teammate A♈lmirola, and finished right behind him.

Ryan Blaney: 3

A speeding penalty, multiple spins, and a fꦿrustrating result for the Penske driver.

Tyler Reddick: 6

He was running well early but a flat tire late in the race ruined his 🅠day.

Denny Hamlin: 2

It doesn't get much worse than taking yourself out of the🀅 race, and being the only driver to not finish.
