Shane Van Gisbergen clinched victory after leading most of the race, capturing the top spot starting from Lap 15, only relinquishing it briefly to Kyle Larson and Austin Hill and reclaiming it on Lap 48. Van Gisbergen's win is underlined by a strong average running position (ARP) of 3.79 and a net gain rating of 2.19—tops in both categories for the race. Despite starting on pole, his ability to recover and lead the final critical laps highlights his control in this bonanza of a race, particularly through the wild turns of the latter stages.
Ty Gibbs secured second place, moving up from fourth with a noteworthy ARP of 5.75 and a decent net gain rating of 1.11. Kyle Larson, who frequently swapped the lead with Van Gisbergen early and maintained an ARP of 4.53, finished third. Parker Kligerman, starting from seventh, advanced to fourth despite a lower ARP of 11.91, suggesting strategic maneuvering despite inferior raw speed. Jesse Love, who led the critical final third of the race from Lap 34 through 46 before falling to fifth, demonstrated a respectable ARP of 5.0.
Notable mentions include Austin Hill, who jumped six places to finish seventh with an ARP of 6.75 and Joey Logano, remaining stagnant in fifteenth but finishing eighth. Drivers affected by the late cautions include Justin Allgaier, rising from thirty-sixth to ninth and Riley Herbst, who saw his efforts gutted by overheating issues, dropping him from a starting position of twentieth to a twenty-eighth place finish despite a decent ARP of 17.48. The race's wild cautions and incidents played a significant role, impacting the finishing positions and the driver's overall performance ratings.
