Kyle Larson, whose blown tire on the last lap cost him a win Saturday, was second for Hendrick Motorsports. “Fuel mileage got us the last two weeks,” Hamlin said. “Sometimes these races aren’t always won by the fastest car,” Busch said.
The 2½-mile tri-oval wreaked havoc on fuel and William Byron and Denny Hamlin all saw their shot at the checkered flag disappear over the final five laps when they ran out of gas.
