Alex Bowman started Sunday's race from pole position and was looking to follow the example set by Tyler Reddick last year as the latest driver to win this race from the front of the grid. Bowman led 43 laps and was collecting stage points throughout the day.
On the final restart with just over 50 laps remaining, Bowman was in fourth but quickly made it three-wide for the race lead. While Bubba Wallace escaped and drove away, he was able to run him back down within 20 laps and power into the race lead. Unfortunately for him, his teammate Kyle Larson was making an extremely high line work, running right up against the outside wall.
