Allmendinger didn’t move into the lead for the first time until he passed Kyle Busch on the start to the final stage but had to navigate five restarts over the final 31 laps.
With less than 10 laps to go, William Byron moved past Busch into the second position and closed to Allmendinger’s rear bumper several times, but the 41-year-old veteran deftly held him at bay and cleared him by 0.666 seconds at the checkered flag.
