Race review: Truex was unable to improve his position early in the race but had moved up to 17th when he was able to avoid a multi-car crash on lap 77. The No. 1 Bass Pro Shops car ran as high as 12th before making a pit stop for a chassis adjustment and tires during a caution on lap 139. Three laps later, another caution came out while Truex was running 13th, and he reported a vibration which turned out to be a loose wheel. The car pitted and lost its track position, leading to a 25th-place finish.
