2023 Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Driver Ratings
Martin Truex Jr: 10
Martin is the master of Sonoma, and reminded everyone of that today.
Kyle Busch: 9
Won his third race of the season last weekend and finished 2nd today at Sonoma.
Joey Logano: 6
Good fortune brought him track position, otherwise he was looking at a finish outside of the top 20.
Chris Buescher: 8
Continues to quietly produce outstanding results for RFK Racing.
Chase Elliott: 8
A top-five finish was great but he will need to win to get into the playoffs.
AJ Allmendinger: 7
Not his best road course performance but another solid 6th place result.
Michael McDowell: 7
McDowell has always been a great road course racer, and demonstrated that again today.
Kyle Larson: 7
Expectations were high, so even an 8th place finish seems disappointing.
Christopher Bell: 7
Bell was another driver many expected to see batting for the win, especially given Toyota's strength.
Ross Chastain: 5
Like Logano, he would likely have a finish around 25th had he not gotten the lucky timing during the first caution.
Kevin Harvick: 7
Just missed the top-ten in his final Sonoma start, but continues to pad his points in the championship.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr: 7
A solid 12th place run for the Daytona 500 winner, who continues to impress.
William Byron: 6
Not the performance many people expected today for the playoff points leader.
Alex Bowman: 6
Another middle-of-the-pack finish for this guy.
Brad Keselowski: 6
A spin early in the race put him in a hole and he was never able to recover.
Bubba Wallace: 6
Not the weekend he was looking for, especially since Toyota was on point.
Ty Gibbs: 6
Finishing 18th wasn't what he wanted, but this was his first trip to Sonoma.
Austin Cindric: 3
Penske was out to lunch all weekend, and road racer extraordinaire Cindric was nowhere to be found.
Grant Enfinger: 7
Not a bad Cup debut for Enfinger, who did much better than Gragson would have done.
Aric Almirola: 4
He won the Xfinity Series race yesterday, but this one went much different.
Chase Briscoe: 4
Struggled like his teammate Almirola, and finished right behind him.
Ryan Blaney: 3
A speeding penalty, multiple spins, and a frustrating result for the Penske driver.
Tyler Reddick: 6
He was running well early but a flat tire late in the race ruined his day.
Denny Hamlin: 2
It doesn't get much worse than taking yourself out of the race, and being the only driver to not finish.
