STATISTICALLY SPEAKING
Matt DiBenedetto crossed the line in second and Chris Buescher in 8th, both were penalized for forcing a driver below the yellow line on last lap. DiBenedetto was penalized for forcing William Byron below the double yellow line and Buescher for forcing Chase Elliott below.


Chase Elliott was originally penalized for passing below the double yellow line on last lap but it was rescinded after the #9 team filed a formal protest, which led NASCAR to perform an official review to determine that he did not pass below yellow line, it was revealed that he was forced below the double yellow line by Buescher. He was moved back to 5th place

Orignal MOV was 0.023 seconds with Denny Hamlin beating Matt DiBenedetto to line, after penalty MOV is 0.086 seconds. Which was gap from Hamlin to Erik Jones who crossed the line in thrid.
