SVG dominated a NASCAR Cup Series road course again. This time he pitted with 24 to go and dropped into the mid 20s with a 29.2 second deficit. He overcame that deficit in 17 laps and won by over 7 seconds anyways. SVG led 74/100 laps and won a stage as well. Connor Zilisch was fast and was trying to save fuel late but blew a tire, Michael McDowell also had a great comeback for P2 and Hendrick Motorsports was nowhere to be found. See you all tomorrow for The Monday After!
