Denny Hamlin crossed the line second. He was followed by Chris Buescher, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Bubba Wallace, Ross Chastain, Chase Elliott, Michael McDowell and Kyle Busch.
The All-Star Race featured four cautions — two for incidents. The most notable occurred on Lap 2 as Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wrecked. Though this incident started on the opening lap.
Busch went wide after taking the green flag and left room in the middle of the track. Stenhouse took that spot. The field then went three-wide with Michael McDowell on the bottom, Stenhouse in the middle and Busch on the outside. The lack of room led to Busch hitting the outside wall.
Busch then responded by hitting Stenhouse from behind multiple times. This contact spun the No. 47 Chevrolet into the outside wall. Stenhouse drove back to pit road, left his destroyed car in Busch’s pit stall and then he climbed to the pit box for a conversation with Busch’s crew chief.
The incident was not over. Stenhouse confronted Busch after the race and ultimately threw a punch. This kicked off a fight that featured crew members from the No. 8 and No. 47 teams.
