This race lined up on all three measures: Shane Van Gisbergen (#97) won the race, led TLS points (3,639), and posted the best average running position (2.97).

Van Gisbergen dominates The Glen

Shane Van Gisbergen (#97) led from the start at Watkins Glen and won stage 2 after Ross Chastain (#1) took stage 1. Debris in turn 4 on lap 40 and a lap-60 caution when Joey Logano (#22) went off in turn 1 kept pit cycles constant on the road course.

SVG (#97) led 74 of 100 laps and won by 7.288 seconds over Michael McDowell (#71) — the fourth-largest margin in Cup history at The Glen. Josh Berry (#21) spun in turn 1 on the final lap but continued to the checkered.
