NASCAR
Tercer triunfo del año para recuperar la cima
Kyle Larson (Chevrolet) ganó en Sonoma, por la 16ª fecha del certamen, y volvió a quedar puntero tras un abandono prematuro de Denny Hamlin (Toyota). La NASCAR Cup Series tuvo un emocionante paso por el trazado californiano.
Hamlin, con el Joe Gibbs Racing, tuvo problemas que derivaron en la rotura de motor en su Toyota, y de ahí en más, los grandes líderes de la carrera fueron Tyler Reddick (Toyota), quien luego cayó al octavo puesto, Chris Buescher (Ford) y Larson. Kyle lideró menos giros pero estuvo firme cuando llegó la parte final, y mantuvo a raya a Michael McDowell (Ford) y al propio Buescher para celebrar.
La temporada ahora tiene a dos Chevrolet arriba, Larson y Chase Elliott, mientras que son perseguidos por los Toyota de Hamlin, Reddick y Martin Truex.
