Martin Truex Jr. drives away from the field for his fourth career win at Sonoma as the NASCAR Cup Series heads into summer break.
Martin Truex Jr.‘s fourth career win at Sonoma was his third of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. The No. 19 team was the class of the field, leading 51 of 110 laps. Not even a late restart against Kyle Busch could slow MTJ down. Sunday’s race at Sonoma was a huge turnaround for the entire Joe Gibbs Racing organization. The team’s highest finish at Sonoma last year was 26th with Martin Truex Jr. This time around, JGR came to Sonoma with extremely fast race cars. Along with Truex Jr. taking the win, Denny Hamlin qualified on pole, and all four cars qualified in the top eight. Gibbs now has three wins in the last six points races heading into the only Cup Series off-weekend.
