NASCAR has been inconsistent with its decision to throw cautions on the last lap, signaling that officials may show favoritism toward certain drivers or teams.
After 265 laps, the caution flag flew less than a mile from the checkered flag with Bell’s No. 20 Toyota in first ahead of Carson Hocevar and Kyle Larson. Ryan Blaney and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rounded out the top five.
