Top-5 finish at Chicagoland Bowman finished fifth in the eero 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday.

Impact It's been a long season for Bowman, but Sunday's fifth-place result gives him back-to-back Top-10 finishes for the first time since Talladega and Texas earlier this season. It's also his first Top-5 finish since that Texas race on May 3. The Cup Series now heads to Atlanta, where Bowman has mixed results lately. In the past five races there, he has two Top 5s, but has finished outside of the Top 20 in the other three races.

10th at Sonoma Bowman finished in 10th place in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.

Impact Sunday's 10th-place finish was just the second Top-10 finish of the season for Bowman, whose other Top 10 was a third-place result at Texas back in May. This time, the Top 10 came as the result of Bowman holding off teammate William Byron on the final lap, squeezing the No. 24 car off of the racing surface. The Cup Series now heads to Chicagoland Speedway for the first time since 2019. Bowman was the winner of that most recent visit to the mile-and-a-half track.
