William Byron passed Justin Allgaier to secure victory for Hendrick Motorsports just before the white flag waved, validating his triumph. His No. 17 Chevrolet faced no issues in post-race inspection.
Contrarily, the No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevrolet driven by Sammy Smith failed to meet the weight requirement, resulting in disqualification. This moved Dean Thompson into the top five for his NASCAR Xfinity Series career.
Josh Williams gained a promotion to sixth place, while Austin Hill, Ryan Ellis, Christian Eckes, and Sheldon Creed rounded out the top ten. Ellis, in particular, celebrated his first top-ten finish after 144 race starts, even before an additional position in post-race scrutiny.
Smith’s disqualification shuffled him from eighth to 13th in the regular season standings. Cars like the No. 48, the No. 26, and the No. 39 are undergoing further inspection at the R&D Center.
Notably, the No. 00 Haas Factory Team Ford was cited for a single loose lug nut. Statistics reveal a record number of disqualifications this year, totaling eight across the national divisions.
