After months of mediocrity, Cole Custer had arguably the best run since his return to the NASCAR Cup Series at Daytona, where he emerged in the top five late in the race just as he did in the Daytona 500, only this time the finish was clean and Custer finished fourth after leading the penultimate lap. For a while, it looked like the winner would come from below the playoff cutline as Erik Jones, Justin Haley, Ryan Preece, and Custer combined to lead laps 148-159, but after Custer took the lead on lap 158 leading Ryan Blaney on the outside line, Haley switched lanes to cut off Custer, after which both drivers dropped to the bottom line, which allowed Blaney to scoot on past. Nonetheless, Custer finally showed signs of life for the moribund post-Stewart Haas team and his two passes for the lead were his first such passes this season.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
