Christopher Bell emerged victorious, despite leading only a single lap throughout the event . This victory was particularly significant for Bell, as it underscored his strategic racing acumen and ability to capitalize on critical moments. The race featured intense competition with a staggering 50 lead changes among 15 drivers, reflecting the dynamic and competitive environment that characterizes NASCAR events .
The race featured 50 lead changes between 15 drivers with 11 caution flags throughout the event. Joey Logano, who also won Stage 2, led the most laps at 83. Josh Berry, who crashed on the final lap while running inside the top-ten, won Stage 1 on Sunday. A.J. Allmendinger also earned a bonus point for securing the fastest lap of the event.
 Ross Chastain then lined up side-by-side for the final restart, but Hocevar's decision to abandon Chastain and make his own move up the middle opened the door for Bell to get alongside Larson. Hocevar did make an impressive final charge, splitting Larson and Bell into the final corner, but just as a three-wide photo finish  appeared guaranteed, the yellow flag flew for an incident on the backstretch.
NASCAR threw the caution, and Bell led Hocevar by a quarter-length at the time of caution to secure the win.
