First stage Joey Logano led the field to the green flag at 3:48 p.m. It remained caution-free until
Corey LaJoie slammed the wall in the dogleg on the backstretch on lap 26, bringing out the first caution of the race. The race restarted on lap 33. The uneventful stage concluded on lap 75 when Logano took the stage victory and the second caution flew at its conclusion.
Kurt Busch's team was changing a battery, sent him out to beat the pace car off pit road so as to not lose a lap. He was busted for speeding in the process and held a lap on pit road.
Ryan Newman chose not to pit and assumed the race lead along with
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and
Martin Truex Jr. Kyle Larson exited pit road first among the cars that opted to pit.
Overtime Newman powered ahead of Larson on the final restart. Larson came down on
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to his inside and got loose. This allowed Newman to drive on to victory. == Post-race ==
