Spire Motorsports Chevrolet driver LaJoie led the way on a restart with three of 260 laps remaining at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but Hendrick Motorsports' Elliott was able to get around him with one to go.
LaJoie wasn't giving up on a potential first win in the Cup Series however, and at the start of the final lap got a big run on Elliott's Chevrolet. He tried a pass on the outside, but the 2020 Cup champion blocked his advance and left LaJoie with no room.
