Cars in field: 38
\nPole: Justin Allgaier (7)
\nOutside Pole: Connor Zilisch (88)
\nStages: 45-45-111
\nWeather: Partly sunny, 87\u00b0F, Feels like 83\u00b0, Feels like (shade) 82\u00b0, Wind SW 24 mph, Wind Gusts 36 mph<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 24 of 201 for debris.<\/p>\n

Aric ‘Afterburner’ Almirola (19) wins stage one holding off Connor Zilisch (88).<\/p>\n

Aric Almirola (19) wins stage two.<\/p>\n

Almirola (19) passes leader Zilisch (88) on lap 193 of 201. Almirola got into the side of Zilisch on the pass.<\/p>\n

Almirola has led 103 of 197 laps.<\/p>\n

Almirola holds off Zilisch to win.<\/p>\n

Nothing much was going on when I switched to the race, so I watched college football until the final 20 laps. Since I had seen Almirola easily pass Zilisch earlier his late race pass was not surprising, nor entertaining.<\/p>\n
