Truex and Elliott had been dueling for the lead for most of the final stage with Harvick more than four seconds behind them. But when Truex got into Elliott, apparently because he mistakenly believed he had his rival cleared around the bend, Harvick swooped in to capitalize. Elliott finished 20th, while Truex dropped to 22nd after getting a flat tire from their collision. Austin Dillion shook off a slow start to finish second....

Truex could have clinched one of four championship spots with a win and in the process put someone else on the chopping block. He remains in trouble now after being docked 20 playoff points for using an illegal spoiler that was detected in a prerace inspection. Only next weekend’s Martinsville race remains on the schedule before NASCAR’s title race Nov. 8 at Phoenix. Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney and Alex Bowman rounded out the top five behind Busch and Truex....

For most spectators, it was not only understandable for Bowman to have anxiety, but also admirable he was open to sharing it. One prominent NASCAR media member, though, decided Bowman’s mental health should be joked about. He created an #AnxietyAlex hashtag on Twitter.

Jim Utter, an editor for Motorsports.com, blocked a wave of critics to his remarks from accessing his account but has left up the tweets for several hours after posting....

The order for the top 20 cars to start Thursday night’s race is an inversion of the top 20 finishers from the 600 with the exception of Jimmie Johnson, who failed post-race inspection and was disqualified from his second-place finish. That means Johnson has to start Thursday night’s race in last place, but a couple of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates will lead the field to the green flag as a result of their finishes Sunday....
