Overview
- Kyle Larson secured his second championship by finishing third, becoming the top Championship 4 finisher despite not leading a lap.
- Denny Hamlin started on pole, led 208 of 319 laps and battled clutch concerns, but a four-tire call before overtime left him sixth and second in the title race.
- Ryan Blaney, eliminated from title contention a week earlier, won the race after edging Brad Keselowski in the final dash.
- Multiple right-side tire failures shaped the finale, with Byron’s late flat triggering overtime; he finished 33rd as Chase Briscoe recovered from tire issues to place 18th.
- Crew chief Cliff Daniels’ two-tire strategy put Larson ahead of Hamlin for the restart under the Championship 4 format, where the highest finisher among the four wins the season crown.
