A big wreck unfolded with 20 laps remaining in the stage, bringing out the red flag. Jimmie Johnson got into the left rear of the Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s No. 47, spinning the JTG-Daugherty entry and sparking a pileup from oncoming traffic. Cole Custer, Alex Bowman, Kurt Busch and Tyler Reddick were also involved and took heavy, race-ending damage.

During a battle with his teammate for the lead, Ryan Blaney lost control of his No. 12 Team Penske Ford and appeared set to get away from the incident before being clipped by Ty Dillon’s No. 13 Chevrolet. Blaney exited the race and will finish 40th. Dillon ran two more laps than Blaney and will finish 39th.

Elliott’s close friend, Ryan Blaney, finished runner-up in the stage in the No. 12 Team Penske Ford, followed by Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Team Penske Ford), Aric Almirola (No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford) and Joey Logano (No. 22 Team Penske Ford) to round out the top five.
Kyle Busch’s No. 18 Toyota and Daniel Suarez’ No. 96 Toyota were caught speeding during their trips to pit road during the second competition caution. Suarez was then black-flagged and was forced to serve a pass-through penalty. They finished the stage 17th and 34th, respectively.
Matt DiBenedetto stayed out during the second competition caution and led the field to green on the ensuing restart but was shuffled back to seventh by the stage’s end.
The first caution came on Lap 7 when a spinning Ryan Newman brought out the yellow flag. There were two competition cautions in the first stage as well, on Laps 20 and 60.
The race began with no practice or qualifying. Keselowski started first after a random draw.
