Race Winners

Tyler Reddick won the race after fighting his way back with a left fender off the car. He led a Toyota contingent that seemed to dominate the final laps. Reddick prevailed over Bubba Wallace and Chase Briscoe.

Chase Briscoe has historically struggled at EchoPark Speedway. However, speed showed up for the Toyotas today. Briscoe gained himself a 2nd place finish, much better than his Daytona despair.

Carson Hocevar entered this race as the surprising 4th-most-likely winner, per oddsmakers. He proved his worth by finishing 4th.

Shane Van Gisbergen has slowly improved his non-road-course racing. He made a late surge, and at one point, it seemed like he might find the lead. A 6th-place finish would be very promising for the New Zealander.

Race Losers

Ty Gibbs had a bad day, wrecking early on in the race. He is listed as 190 laps down and in 37th/38th place. He stands out as the clear-worst Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Kyle Busch cannot catch a break, being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. He is marked 147 laps down and finishes in 34th/38th place. The Fords did not look as strong today as many fans expected at a superspeedway.

Kyle Larson led this race for a bit, looking like he might find victory lane. Instead, he would slide high-to-low off of turn four to end Stage Two. Larson's wreck ended his day, finishing 32nd.
