Overview
- Restarting eighth on four fresh tires, Elliott charged through traffic on a two-lap sprint to capture his second win of the season.
- Denny Hamlin led 159 laps and swept both stages but finished second after a power steering issue and a slow two-tire stop caused by a jack problem.
- Contact between Hamlin and Bubba Wallace on the final lap opened the inside lane for Elliott; Wallace recovered to finish fifth and is 26 points below the cutline.
- A late sequence of cautions included Zane Smith’s rollover that brought out a red flag, and the race was extended to 273 laps; Smith walked away.
- Elliott joins Ryan Blaney in the Round of 8, while Kyle Larson, Hamlin, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Chase Briscoe and Joey Logano hold spots above the line with Ross Chastain, Wallace, Tyler Reddick and Austin Cindric below heading to the Charlotte Roval elimination race.
