Overview

• Shane van Gisbergen scored his fifth straight road or street course victory at the Charlotte Roval, leading 57 laps and finishing more than 15 seconds clear of Kyle Larson.
• Joey Logano advanced by four points after crew chief Paul Wolfe called a late stop for fresh tires, enabling a 20th-place finish that kept him ahead of Ross Chastain.
• Ross Chastain’s day unraveled with pit-road mistakes and a speeding penalty before a last-lap clash with Denny Hamlin spun him around; he crossed the line backward in 21st and was eliminated.
• Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric also exited the playoffs, while a post-race disqualification for Riley Herbst on minimum weight did not alter the transfer picture.
• The Round of 8 is set with Ryan Blaney, Logano, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, William Byron, Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe, with Las Vegas up next on Oct. 12.
