10 to go in stage 2, Johnny Sauter has struggled all day at Homestead. However, he’s moving forward. Sauter dives to the bottom of Cindric. Cindric tried to cross him, he gets loose under Sauter on the exit. As the rest of the field is riding the wall, Sauter is glued to the inside line.

Stage 3

The field hits pit lane. Chase Briscoe parks in his stall at a major angle. Rhodes won’t have to back up. However, Rhodes is forced to drive around him, being the stall behind. Briscoe is in pit stall #1, the jack drops, he drives straight off pit road and picks up 2 positions.

Penalty for Ryan Truex. The jack man jumped over the wall too soon.

Chase Briscoe gets the jump in the outside lane. He’s clear before turn 1. He takes the inside lane away before turn 1. But that only narrows his entry to turn 1. Briscoe loses entry and exit speed. Ben Rhodes carries more speed off turn 2, he goes to the lead.

Lap 94, Noah Gragson has a flat. He saves it and we stay green. There’s a battle for the lead at the front. Briscoe dives to the bottom, he slides up on exit but Rhodes is still there. Rhodes powers by down the straight. Briscoe back to the bottom, he clears him in the next corner to take the lead.

25 laps to go at Homestead. The Championship 4 are glued together. Christopher Bell (3rd), Johnny Sauter (4th), Austin Cindric (5th) and Matt Crafton (6th).

17 to go, Ryan Truex has driven from the tail, to 6th. At the last restart, he was sent to the tail for a pit road violation. It only took him 37 laps to get here.

14 to go, Ben Rhodes and Christopher Bell have been glued bumper-to-bumper for the last 20 laps. Rhodes is glued to the wall, Bell takes the cautious high line, 2 truck lengths off the wall. They are both running down Chase Briscoe. Sauter is fading but he remains 4th.

Briscoe has the truck yawed out of the exit of turn 4. He’s inches from the wall. But he’s maintaining the gap. He’s in the lead with the Brad Keselowski Racing truck. The team is closing after this race.

5 to go, Ben Rhodes is out of fuel, he was 2nd! Everyone pitted on the same lap. Who else is going to run out?

Chase Briscoe was just told to save fuel.

He saves enough. Briscoe wins his first ever NCWTS race! Brad Keselowski Racing wins their final race before closing the doors!
