Overview
- Elliott surged from eighth on the final restart and edged Denny Hamlin by 0.069 seconds with a last‑corner pass.
- Hamlin swept both stages and led 159 laps, but a slow two‑tire pit stop and power‑steering trouble left him second.
- Bubba Wallace led at the white flag before contact with Hamlin; Toyotas took four of the top five with Elliott the lone Chevrolet.
- Late chaos featured a nine‑car wreck and Zane Smith’s flip that triggered a red flag and set up a double‑overtime finish.
- Elliott joins Ryan Blaney as locked into the Round of 8, and the remaining spots will be decided at the Charlotte Roval; in Xfinity, Brandon Jones advanced with a Kansas win.
