Denny Hamlin managed to get past Ross Chastain and take the lead with six laps to go in Nashville, but the race changed completely after a late caution plunged the event into chaos.
What followed were five restarts in overtime, resulting in Joey Logano capturing the checkered flag for Team Penske. He beat Zane Smith and Tyler Reddick to the finish line.
Kyle Larson leaves Nashville with a 20-point lead in the regular-season championship, just ahead of his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott.
Shane van Gisbergen is the reigning Chicago Street Course champion, having beaten Justin Haley to win in his Trackhouse debut. The three-time Supercars champion will race in both the Xfinity and Cup races this weekend.
This week, Josh Berry confirmed he will join Wood Brothers Racing in 2025, replacing Harrison Burton. Additionally, NASCAR penalized Carson Hocevar for crashing into Burton under caution during the Nashville Cup race. Additionally, Joey Logano will run the Xfinity race at Chicago for AM Racing, replacing Hailie Deegan.
