- Jimmie Johnson and William Byron had great cars. Johnson wrecked while leading late in Stage #1, and Byron wrecked while running in the top five early in Stage #2. He won Stage #1.
- Kyle Busch was off early, but he got better over the course of the race but made a late unexpected pit stop while running in the top ten which led to his misleading 26th place finish.
- Alex Bowman was impressive and he made great speed running the high-line. He was Harvick\’s main competitor.
- Ricky Stenhouse Jr. never completed a lap.
- Some drivers tanked their performance at the end so they could benefit from the invert for race #2. Notable theorized tankers were … Joey Logano. Clint Bowyer and Ryan Blaney.
