On lap 25 the competition caution came out.
Joey Logano really liked his car at the time of the competition caution. He told his team that his car turns well.
Notable: During the competition caution, Ryan Blaney who was leading, and Denny Hamlin who was in 2nd, were both caught speeding on pit road. Michael McDowell (about 24th) and Ricky Stenhouse (about 29th) were also caught at this time speeding.
During the competition caution, Joey Logano took two tires and got the lead. He led 4 laps before losing the lead to Chase Briscoe.
