William Byron dominated the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, leading 283 of 400 laps from third position, winning all three stages. However, Ross Chastain made an incredible comeback from the back of the field in a backup car to grab the victory from Byron in the final stages of the race. The pivotal moment came after 591 miles when Chastain executed a daring pass on Byron with just six laps to go.
Chastain’s victory was set up by strategic green-flag stops and a mistake by Tyler Reddick that almost took out Byron. Facing traffic and aggressive moves from Chastain, Byron ultimately lost the lead and hit the wall trying to counter the challenge. Despite a valiant effort, Byron couldn’t recover in the remaining laps, and Chastain crossed the finish line first. It was a memorable and thrilling finish to a dramatic race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
