A bit of friction

A pain in the rear

After racing near the front of the pack for most of the race, Bubba Wallace ran into trouble with a right rear flat tire, falling two laps behind.

Rowdy restart

On a chaotic restart, Austin Cindric and Michael McDowell made contact, spinning Cindric off the track.

Reshuffling

The restarts stayed dicey all throughout the race, with Brad Keselowski and Chase Elliott taking advantage of the chaos to reshuffle the racing order.

Battle for Stage 2

Keselowski was able to edge out Elliott for the Stage 2 victory and some all-important playoff points.
