Overview

  • Ty Dillon clinched his spot by overtaking John Hunter Nemechek on a late-race restart and securing a wave-around under caution at Dover Motor Speedway.
  • Ty Gibbs advanced after pitting for fresh right-side tires and passing Tyler Reddick in the closing laps of his semifinal heat.
  • Neither competitor has previously won a NASCAR Cup Series race, and both will compete for their first career victory and the $1 million prize.
  • NASCAR’s bracket-style format has transformed midseason Cup events into knockout matchups that reward strategic restarts and pit-stop tactics.
  • The winner-takes-all finale will take place next week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Brickyard 400, concluding the five-week tournament.
