Würth 400 highlights: Martin Truex Jr. victorious at Dover Motor Speedway

Updated May. 1, 2023 4:04 p.m. ET

The NASCAR Cup Series' April schedule wrapped Monday with Martin Truex Jr. winning the Würth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway, and we had you covered with all the action from start to finish, exclusively on FS1 and the FOX Sports App!

NASCAR's top stars battled it out over 400 laps on the 1-mile concrete speedway in Dover, Delaware. The race was originally scheduled for Sunday, but was postponed after heavy rain pelted Dover Motor Speedway for hours yesterday — marking the second consecutive year and third time since 2019 that a Dover race had been rained out.

Monday's race marked the 11th race of the 2023 Cup Series season and the 105th Cup Series race hosted at DMS, more affectionately know as the "Monster Mile."

Here are the top moments!

Green!

Kyle Busch led the charge on the opening lap, but Christopher Bell was close behind from the jump.

Elsewhere, Joey Logano moved up five spots in the opening 11 laps.

Miscue

The caution came out early in Stage 1 after rookie Noah Gragson smacked into the wall and slid across the track, which ended his day early at Dover.

Double trouble

Minutes later, there was another huge crash in Turn 2 involving Daniel Suárez and Ty Dillon. That contact also ended Suárez's race prematurely. 

Follow the leader 

Kyle Larson was making up some serious ground before Ross Chastain got into the back of Brennan Poole on the corner, taking Larson with him. The collision ended the race for both of them, while Chastain moved up to second on the restart.

"He probably needs to get his butt whooped," Poole said about Chastain afterward.

Stage 1 in the books!

It was Byron who took the opening stage, and he continued to assert his dominance on the field as the second stage got underway. Ryan Blaney a distant second, followed by Chastain, Bell and Denny Hamlin rounding out the front five cars.

Battle continues

The entire field continued to race hard as Stage 2 got underway, and there was no shortage of action on the track.

Stage 2 complete

Chastain, thanks to some aggressive driving late, was able to overtake his competitors and seal the win in Stage 2.

Anyone's race!

Truex took the lead with 65 laps left, keeping a slight edge over long-time leader Chastain.

Late caution

Another driver bit the dust late in Monday's race. This time it was Logano, whose day came to a close with just 13 laps remaining after a blown tire caused him to spin into the wall.

No quit!

Blaney and Truex were fighting neck and neck for first when the green flag returned, with Chastain in third. Then, Chastain jumped past Blaney to claim sole control of second with just five laps remaining.

In the end, Truex was able to hold off Chastain and claim the win at Dover.
