Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson both went a lap down after electing not to put in stage one. Most of the field split the stage with a green flag stop and both of them missed stage points as Larson was trapped a lap down.
The problems continued for Hamlin. Logano shoved Christopher Bell into the corner. Bell clipped Hamlin and they were both spun around.
William Byron drove to victory lane. It was his first win of the 2026 season.
