After a late-stage caution, the NASCAR Cup Series restarted the GEICO 500 with two laps to go in Stage 2. Ryan Blaney and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. battled back and forth for the lead, as the two were pushed by other drivers and led the dominant lanes. Ultimately, Kyle Busch gave Stenhouse the shove he needed to capture the stage win.
Lap 98 to Lap 160 — end of Stage 2 — saw Stenhouse and Blaney officially trade off the front spot five times, not counting and jockeying during the laps themselves.

Blaney ended up second, with Busch crossing third. Brad Keselowski, who was helping Blaney, came in fourth. Rookie Christopher Bell was then fifth.
Joey Logano, Bubba Wallace, rookie Cole Custer, Chris Buescher and William Byron completed the top 10 in order.
Byron broke away with one lap to go in the stage and nabbed the lead for a hot second, but his outside lane wasn’t able to keep up with the ones Stenhouse and Blaney led.
The caution came out with six laps to go for debris on the track. Blaney held the lead at the time, with Stenhouse in second. The front cars did not pit, but those further back did.
Stage 1 winner Tyler Reddick fell back to 13th by the conclusion of Stage 2. The race is official since it is beyond halfway over.
