NCS 8/36 – Darlington Goodyear 400
Ani obrovská dominancia počas takmer celých pretekov nestačila Williamovi Byronovi na úspech v Darlingtone. Pre výhru si v závere prišiel Denny Hamlin.
William Byron zvládol najlepšie kvalifikáciu a to bol ideálny odrazový mostík pre jeho dominanciu v úvodnej časti pretekov. Jazdec Hendrick Motorsports viedol prvých 243 kôl a suverénne vyhral oba segmenty. Aj v záverečnej časti smeroval za jasným víťazstvom, všetko však zmenili zastávky v boxoch pod zelenou vlajkou. Potom, čo Byron zamieril ku mechanikom, dostal sa do čela Hamlin a následne ho predbehol Reddick.
V závere sa predral do vedenia Ryan Blaney, ale prakticky okamžite sa na rovinke roztočil a narazil do bariéry Kyle Larson. Preteky sa tak dostali do overtimu, kde si svoje vedenie postrážil Denny Hamlin a prišiel si pre druhé víťazstvo v tejto sezóne.
Cup Series pokračuje budúci víkend pretekmi na Bristol Motor Speedway.
