Martin Truex Jr: 10

Martin is the master of S♕onoma, and reminded everyone of that today.

Kyle Busch: 9

Won his third race of the season last weekend and finished 2nd today at ꧂Sonoma.

Joey Logano: 6

Good 🍨fortune brought him track po🅷sition, otherwise he was looking at a finish outside of the top 20.

Chris Buescher: 8

Continues t🐻o quietly produce out﷽standing results for RFK Racing.

Chase Elliott: 8

A top-five finish w💦as great but he will need to win to ♐get into the playoffs.

AJ Allmendinger: 7

Not his best road cours🔯e performance but a🌠nother solid 6th place result.

Michael McDowell: 7

McDowell has alw🅺ays been a great road course r𝓰acer, and demonstrated that again today.

Kyle Larson: 7

Expectations were high, so even an 8th place finish se⭕ems disappꦚointing.

Christopher Bell: 7

Bell was an🤡other driver many expected to see batting for the win, especially given Toyota's strength.

Ross Chastain: 5

Like Logano, he woul🀅d likely have a finish arounﷺd 25th had he not gotten the lucky timing during the first caution.

Kevin Harvick: 7

Just missed the top-ten in his final Sonoma sta꧙rt, but continues to pad his points in the championship.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr: 7

A solid 12th place ꦜrun for the Dayton📖a 500 winner, who continues to impress.

William Byron: 6

Not the ꦆperformance 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 able to recover.

Bubba Wallace: 6

Not t🌞he weekend he was looking for, especially since Toyota was on point.

Ty Gibbs: 6

Fi⛎nishing 18th wasn't what he wanted, but this was✨ his first trip to Sonoma.

Austin Cindric: 3

Penske was out to lunch 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 woul🦂d have done.

Aric Almirola: 4

H🍷e won the Xfinity Series race yesterday, ๊but this one went much different.

Chase Briscoe: 4

Struggled 🌠like his teammate Almirola, and fi♒nished right behind him.

Ryan Blaney: 3

A speeding penalty, multiple spins, and a frustrating res🗹ult for the Penske driver.

Tyler Reddick: 6

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

Denny Hamlin: 2

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