A handful of prominent names entered the weekend without a NASCAR Cup Series win on the season, including pole winner Joey Logano. Logano's first two poles of the season didn't result in a checkered flag, but Saturday's success and last week's top-five finish inspired hope he could finally get back to the front in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma.
History, however, favored veterans Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch in Sonoma. Truex entered Sunday with four career wins in the race, while Busch has three victories to his name.
Despite not owning a win on the season, Truex came into the weekend in excellent position in the standings with 487 points, sitting behind only Denny Hamlin at this point. More success in Sonoma would only boost Truex's hopes for the remainder of the season, but Logano's pole win on Saturday was a reminder that there are plenty of drivers still hungry for that elusive win.
Here are the full results from Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 in Sonoma, as well as an updated look at the NASCAR Cup Series standings.

It was Larson's third win of the season, as he previously won in Las Vegas and Kansas City. Larson won at Sonoma in 2021 as well. The victory was the 26th of Larson's Cup Series career.
Truex, last year's champion in Sonoma, was in second as he neared the checkered flag, but he appeared to run out of gas on the final lap. He managed to putter across the finish line, but he dropped to 27th.
Larson opened the day third in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, and the win jumped him to second behind only Hamlin. Truex's unfortunate finish dropped him to fourth with 490 points.
