Something has to give for this team and soon. Preece has had a very long streak of bad runs, with multiple last-place finishes. Thankfully, Preece was not physically injured, but he was noticeably angry. A red flag came out after his car slammed the inside wall and almost landed on its roof. When that was finally cleared, not much was able to get going before Christopher Bell crossed in front of Ryan Newman, leaving Ryan Preece as the biggest victim. Jimmie Johnson and Austin Dillon also suffered because of Logano’s spin. That caused a chain reaction of wrecks, leaving Matt DiBenedetto with heavy damage as well. Once restarting from that caution, Joey Logano caught debris on the track and cut his left front tire. Shortly after starting the stage, Matt Kenseth and Bubba Wallace got into each other, causing major damage to Wallace’s right front. Stage 3, though, well, things got a little interesting. Stage 1 was rather uneventful, but Stage 2 brought a few cautions with single-car spins, including Bubba Wallace and Chris Buescher. had an electrical fire in his car, leaving him with a last-place finish. There was a competition caution at lap 25, and then shortly after restarting, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Overall, the race was riddled with weird cautions and circumstances. Cole Custer had another strong run, coming in at the top of the rookie finishers. Aric Almirola was 6th followed by Cole Custer, Alex Bowman, Kurt Busch, and William Byron for your top 10. Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, and Erik Jones wrapped up your top 5 spots. With only 22 laps remaining, the field restarted after John Hunter Nemechek wrecked, leaving Hamlin to run the remaining green flag laps to the checkered flag. Keselowski showed strength by winning the second stage over teammate Ryan Blaney. Regardless, Kyle Busch was the stage 1 winner by just a half-second over Denny Hamlin. Harvick had a good car, but he only got the pole thanks to a random draw being that NASCAR has eliminated qualifying and practice for the rest of the season. It didn’t seem to matter, as the frontrunners seemed pretty evenly matched. He also fought hard to hold off second-place Brad Keselowski, even admitting that he didn’t know if he had the best car of the race.

In a late restart in the final stage, Hamlin was able to pass polesitter Kevin Harvick for the win. Last week’s race at Kansas saw Denny Hamlin bring home his FIFTH win of the 2020 season. Channel: NBCSN What Did We Learn From Last Weekend?
