Restarting on lap 497 of 500 with Carson Hocevar (77), Zane Smith (38), Alex Bowman (48), Brad Keselowski (6), Christopher ‘CBell’ Bell (20), Joey Logano (22), Corey Heim (67), Ryan Blaney (12), William Byron (24), Ty Gibbs (54) up front.

‘CBell’ gets the early lead.

Christopher ‘CBell’ Bell (20) holds off Brad Keselowski (6) to win.

Shane van Gisbergen (88) and Ross Chastain (1) went through grass last weekend to add weight to the car with mud and dirt.

MRN reports they watched Kyle Larson (5), Shane van Gisbergen (88), and others pick up marbles from the outside of the track. They say they’ll watch to see what NASCAR will say.

I tuned in to the race for the final restart. The finish was agreeably unpredictable.

Get caught up on the latest racing news.
