The closing 45 laps turned into a tactical chess match. Following the final cycle of green-flag pit stops with 38 laps remaining, Briscoe cycled back out to the lead with a 2.4-second advantage over Kyle Larson.

With eight laps remaining, the gap collapsed under half a second. Slower traffic loomed ahead in the form of lapped machinery running three-wide through Turn 3.

That microscopic bobble gave Briscoe the breathing room he needed to cruise across the finish line by a margin of 0.371 seconds.
