Inside the chaotic Texas finish for a NASCAR Cup team that didn’t win but had reason to celebrate

Sitting 18th ahead of the overtime restart last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, a rough day was about to come to an end for Ty Dillon and his No. 10 Kaulig Racing team.

“I was pouting pretty much in my head inside the car,” Dillon told NBC Sports this week. “We had so much opportunity for this day to be a strong day. Now we’re back to … 18th on this last restart. Man, that’s not going to feel good if this is where we end up.”

But something special happened over the next minute of the race.
