Christopher Bell won a rain-shorted Coke 600, completing 249 of 400 laps. Brad Keselowski finished second and William Byron third.
The day also featured the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500, won by Josef Newgarden for the second consecutive year. Kyle Larson was hoping to become the first driver in a decade to complete The Double, but a rain delay at Indy derailed his plans.
Justin Allgaier started the Coke 600 in the No. 5 Hendrick Chevrolet, and Larson arrived just as the rain arrived. He never turned a lap and Allgaier finished 13th. Larson was later named the 2024 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year. He was running solidly in sixth before a speeding penalty on the final stop relegated him to 18th.
Larson had a 30pt lead in the regular season championship, but now sits in third, five points behind Martin Truex Jr. and six points behind Denny Hamlin.
NASCAR now heads to WWT Raceway (Gateway) where Kyle Busch is the defending winner. It remains Busch's most recent victory in the Cup Series.
This week in the news, Stewart-Haas Racing announced plans to shut down its NASCAR operation at the conclusion of the 2024 season. Front Row Motorsports has already announced plans to purchase one of the four charters, expanding to a three-car team for 2025.
It's unclear where SHR drivers Chase Briscoe, Noah Gragson, Josh Berry, and Ryan Preece will land next year.
