Overview

• At Sonoma Raceway on July 13, van Gisbergen led 97 of 110 laps from pole to claim his third road-course victory of the 2025 season.
• His Sonoma triumph tied Jeff Gordon’s mark for three straight road-course wins from the top starting spot and made him the fastest driver since 1969 to reach four Cup Series victories.
• Trackhouse Racing has surged to four wins in the past eight weeks largely on the back of van Gisbergen’s performances on road and street circuits.
• A pit-road confrontation between Brad Keselowski’s and Ty Gibbs’ crews after a close-call stop drew official warnings and highlighted escalating on-track tensions.
• Rivals credit van Gisbergen’s edge to a unique braking technique refined in Supercars, a skill few traditional oval specialists can match.
