In a race full of data points, Tyler Reddick secured first place, ending with an average running position (ARP) of 5.57 and a net gain rating of 2.85. Reddick's performance was steady throughout, particularly evident in laps led from lap 137 till the race conclusion at lap 167. William Byron, starting at 15th and finishing 2nd, showed stronger consistency with an ARP of 4.41, while sporting a closely competitive gain rating of 2.81.
Noah Gragson's early lead from lap 1 to lap 21 and a strong ARP of 4.89 turned problematic after various accidents. Gragson finished 36th, which can be attributed to accumulating incidents spoiling his race. Justin Allgaier, leading multiple times and completing the race in 4th, posted an ARP of 4.77 but suffered a net loss in the latter stages, bringing his net rating to 3.63. This reflects a battle for the top positions which resulted in wild fluctuations.
The mid-to-late cautions precipitated a bonanza of position changes and strategy shifts. Brandon Jones, starting in 4th, fell to 14th, with an ARP of 11.41 influenced by accidents. Meanwhile, Landon Cassill, despite starting 38th, maneuvered through the field to finish 10th, achieving an ARP of 15.71. Such data illustrates the inherent volatility and critical importance of strategy in NASCAR racing.
