Chase Briscoe's win in a 62-lap race was underscored by a strong performance, with an average running position (ARP) of 2.67, and a net gain rating of 2.58. Briscoe started from 12th and managed to lead for a significant portion, including the last laps, solidifying his position as consistent throughout. Such a bonanza of laps led and a low average running position marked a dominant display from Briscoe.
Justin Haley's performance was also notable, moving from 11th at the start to finish 2nd, achieving an ARP of 4.36 and a net gain rating of 1.70. Noah Gragson, finishing 3rd, maintained a respectable ARP of 5.70, highlighting his consistent pace with a net gain rating of 2.01. AJ Allmendinger showed significant improvement, starting 30th and finishing 4th with an ARP of 9.0 and the highest net gain rating among top finishers at 2.81, indicating his ability to move through the field effectively.
Some incidents impacted the outcomes for several drivers. Brandon Jones, who incidentally fell was involved in a wild caution turn on Lap 36, showed a promising ARP of 7.31 but finished 37th, likely due to an oil line issue. This late incident spoiled his race despite a good earlier performance. Similarly, Tommy Joe Martins faced an axle failure late in the race, leading him to a 35th place finish after an ARP of 22.97, demonstrating how late-race cautions and mechanical issues can dramatically alter race outcomes.
