With seven laps remaining, race leader Bowman scraped the wall in Turn 4, allowing Larson to pass on the inside and pull away to a 1.2-second victory. Bowman, who started from pole and led 43 laps, settled for second place, while Bubba Wallace finished third after leading 56 laps.
Ryan Blaney dominated the early portions of the race, leading a race-high 124 laps and winning the first stage before his engine failure. The race featured 27 lead changes among nine drivers and only four cautions, with two being scheduled stage breaks.
Notable finishes included Chase Briscoe in fourth and Denny Hamlin in fifth. William Byron maintained his points lead with a 12th-place finish, while Joey Logano recovered from an early pit road incident to finish 14th.
