Byron took on an aggressive one-stop strategy at the end of the race, trying to stretch the tires nearly 100 laps to the checkered flag.
The move nearly worked as Byron fought to become the first multi-time winner this season. Although he kept Truex at bay, there was not much he could do to halt the charge of Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. Both drivers had far fresher tires after opting for a two-stop strategy to close out the race.
