William Byron retained a 37-point lead in the regular season NASCAR Cup Series championship despite being eliminated in the lap 70 Big One because most of the other top points contenders also crashed. Byron was very fast like his Hendrick teammates except Kyle Larson, driving from his 18th place starting to position to finish 4th in Stage 1. However, most of the drivers who ran up front in Stage 1 elected to pit while nine drivers stayed out. Since the wreck started with eighth-place Denny Hamlin on the next restart, almost all the cars who pitted on that caution crashed while those who stayed out did not. Although the crash did not really affect Byron's playoff position much, it did eliminate him from the In-Season Challenge as Byron's opponent Ryan Preece finished the race.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
