The race was an eventful one, with numerous tire troubles sending drivers like Chase Elliott and Tyler Reddick skidding off course. Chris Buescher raced to his second back-to-back win, and Martin Truex Jr clinched some important points, coming in a close second.

After Truex's stage one victory, he darted in for what should have been a routine pit stop at lap 50. But it soon became clear that there was a wrench in the works. A rogue tire went off the rails, turning what should have been a brief hiatus into a nail-biting situation.

Truex's comments created controversy in the NASCAR community. He didn't mince his words, stating, “Not a pretty sight.” His curt remark spoke volumes, highlighting what he saw as a major blunder. James Small, Truex’s Crew Chief, didn’t beat around the bush either, chiming in with a terse. “No, it is not a pretty sight.”
