LaJoie led the way on a restart with three of 260 laps remaining at Atlanta Motor Speedway but Elliott was able to get around him with one to go.
On the start of the final lap, LaJoie got a big run and tried a pass in an attempt to regain the lead. Elliott blocked his advance and LaJoie darted up the track and into the wall, which forced NASCAR to throw a caution and secured Elliott’s win.
