Denny Hamlin was able to get around Ross Chastain for the lead with six laps to go at Nashville, but the race completely changed after a late caution threw the event into chaos.
What followed was five overtime restarts, resulting in Joey Logano capturing the checkered flag for Team Penske. He beat Zane Smith and Tyler Reddick to the finish line.
Kyle Larson leaves Nashville with a 20-point lead in the regular season championship, just ahead of his Hendrick Motorsports team-mate Chase Elliott.
Shane van Gisbergen is the defending winner at the Chicago Street Course, beating Justin Haley and winning on debut for Trackhouse. The three-time Supercars champ will be running both the Xfinity and Cup races this weekend.
This week in the news, Josh Berry confirmed that he will join Wood Brothers Racing in 2025, replacing Harrison Burton. Also, NASCAR penalized Carson Hocevar for wrecking Burton under caution during the Nashville Cup race. Additionally, Joey Logano will run the Xfinity race at Chicago for AM Racing, replacing Hailie Deegan.
