Race

Summary

Christopher Bell started on pole and led for the first 48 laps. The first caution occurred when Michael Annett and Riley Herbst tangled. Bell lost the lead to Tyler Reddick for one lap, but quickly took it back and won Stage 1. Bell and Austin Cindric were tagged for speeding on pit road. Cole Custer and Justin Allgaier exchanged the lead afterwards. Bell also won Stage 2 after briefly taking the lead.

Bell lost his chance of winning the race after a spin on lap 117 caused him to go one lap down. However, Bell was already locked into the finale from his win at the previous week's race. Chase Briscoe took the lead on the restart, but lost it to Allgaier as Briscoe only took fuel on the last caution (he had hoped for another caution to occur). Allgaier held onto the lead, holding off a charging Custer to take the victory and advance to the final 4.

Reddick and Custer also made the championship 4 on points, eliminating Cindric, Briscoe, Annett, and Noah Gragson.
