HMS teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott finished 12th and 18th, respectively.

Kyle Larson remains 30th on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series win list behind Dale Jarrett (32). He also stays third on the all-time HMS win list behind multi-time NASCAR champions Jeff Gordon (93) and Jimmie Johnson (83).
