Briscoe had brake issue ad hit the wall for the 11th caution. On the restart - It's Larson.

With 6 to go, Chastain has cut through the field to 2nd place.

Larson wins, Chastain 2nd with gas, but many out of gas.

I never expected Larson to have such a good season after getting suspended last year. He is the wins and points leader.

Knaus said in a statement that the loose nuts were on the left rear. All 5! No wonder he slowed after the last pit stop and his crew was blaming the tires.

With Elliott's disqualification for 5 loose lugnuts on the left rear wheel, some of us had our points change and some are laughing. One of the laughers is FlaCowboy, who picked up his 4th win of the year. Congrats Cowboy.

Next race is a doubleheader at Pocono. Trucks and Cup on Saturday and Sunday has X-Men and Cup. No practice or qualifying for any of the 4 races.
