Tyler Reddick drove to the race win. But, there’s much more to the story as the point standings havena seen a major shakeup.
Kyle Larson entered the race with a healthy points lead. However, he suffered from handling issues throughout the race. With just 30 laps to go he blew a tire and found the outside wall.
Denny Hamlin entered the race 2nd in the standings. He suffered problems of his own as he picked up a flat tire in the final stage of the race. While pitting under green, Hamlin was then hit with a speeding penalty as he entered the pit lane with a flat tire.
With the top two drivers in the standings ahead of this race having major issues, Christopher Bell has made up a ton of ground. He’s now directly in the battle for the championship lead.
Next weekend, NASCAR rolls into complete unpredictableness in Alabama. The 2.66-mile of Talladega Superspeedway will host the next round of the NASCAR Cup Series on October 25th.
