Ryan Blaney executed a dominant performance, securing a win after leading the final 44 laps. Blaney started in 8th position and finished 1st, with a notable GR-LR of 2.04. His ARP of 7.02 indicates solid control throughout the race. Denny Hamlin, despite not leading the most laps, managed an average running position of 4.59 and finished 2nd, bolstered by a high net gain rating of 2.91. Alex Bowman started 6th and finished 3rd, with an ARP of 10.51 and a GR-LR of 1.31.
A bonanza of position changes characterized the midfield. William Byron, starting 2nd, ended up 4th, showing performance adherence with an ARP of 7.29. Tyler Reddick began in 7th and finished 6th, evidencing a slight underperformance given his ARP of 11.21. Brad Keselowski's solid run from 14th to 7th was not reflected in his ARP of 6.93, pointing to a strategic play potentially influenced by late-race dynamics.
Incidents disrupted several drivers' races. Ty Gibbs started on the pole and led early, but his engine failure dropped him to 27th, spoiling his ARP of 13.33. A wild caution wave on lap 122 involving multiple cars reshaped the field. Bubba Wallace began 29th and rallied to 10th, yet his ARP of 21.05 suggests strategic gains rather than raw speed. High attrition affected outcomes, demonstrated by Daniel Hemric and Cody Ware, who finished under suspension and overheating, respectively.
