Overview
- Corey Heim, who won the Anduril 250 Sunday, recorded his first NASCAR Cup Series victory and finished ahead of teammate Bubba Wallace to complete a 23XI Racing one-two.
- Tyler Reddick and Heim traded hard racing late in the event, with Reddick apologizing for contact and then suffering a left-front flat that dropped him to 25th and cut his points lead to eight.
- Bubba Wallace lost a right-front wheel under caution, served a two-lap pit penalty, fought back through the field to finish second, and NASCAR suspended the No. 23 rear tire changer and jackman for the next two Cup races.
- A nine-car crash on the Lap-32 restart removed several contenders, reshuffled the running order and altered playoff positioning by taking out multiple road-course threats.
- The Naval Base Coronado debut drew large crowds but exposed traffic, concessions and temporary-wall repair problems that have left the event’s near-term return uncertain while reinforcing 23XI’s strong 2026 campaign.
