Overview

• Restarting eighth for a two‑lap sprint, Elliott surged to the front and beat Denny Hamlin by 0.069 seconds for his second win of the season and 21st of his career.
• Elliott’s team gained decisive late‑race pace by taking four tires on the final pit stop while many leaders opted for two, setting up his charge on fresh rubber.
• Hamlin dominated with 159 laps led and swept both stages but lost control late after jack trouble on a slow stop and power‑steering issues, missing career win No. 60.
• A sequence of late cautions and a red flag for Zane Smith’s flip set up the double‑overtime finish, with Bubba Wallace and Christopher Bell also contending on the final restart.
• Elliott joins New Hampshire winner Ryan Blaney in the Round of 8; points show Larson, Hamlin, Bell, Byron, Briscoe and Logano above the cutline, with Chastain, Wallace, Reddick and Cindric below heading to the Charlotte Roval cutoff.
