Kyle Larson Wins Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway: Incidents, Strategic Pit Stops, and Larson's Late-Race Passes

The NASCAR Cup Series held its Toyota/Save Mart 350 race at Sonoma Raceway on June 9, 2024. Kyle Larson emerged as the winner, earning his third victory of the season and taking the points lead. The race was marked by several incidents and strategic pit stops.

Joey Logano started on pole position for the event, but it was Austin Cindric who made headlines early with a wild ride uphill through the dirt after hitting a divot, going from running 17th to off the track. Tyler Reddick won Stage 1 and Chris Buescher led most of Stage 2 before pitting.

Denny Hamlin's day ended almost immediately after his engine blew on Lap 3. Martin Truex Jr., a four-time Sonoma winner, spun out early in the race and fell to the back of the pack, receiving help from Will Brown. Kyle Busch was also involved in an incident that caused him to lose significant ground.

Larson made his move late in the race, passing both Chris Buescher and Martin Truex Jr. for first place on Lap 102. He went on to win by a comfortable margin, with Michael McDowell finishing second and Chris Buescher third.

The race featured seven caution flags before halfway point but ran caution-free in the final 51 laps. The top three drivers all made their final pit stops within the last 20 laps, allowing them to stay on fresher tires and gain track position.

Kyle Larson's victory marked his second win at Sonoma Raceway and his third trophy of the season. He now holds a 14-point lead in the Cup standings over Chase Elliott.
