Busch made a pass of his brother Kyle Busch for the lead with 25 laps to go thanks to Chastain's refusal to change his line in the corner. Chastain was being lapped by Kyle Busch and was running the same high groove that Kyle was running. That occupation of the high line stalled Kyle Busch out and Kurt Busch was able to drive past on the inside for the winning pass.
Kurt Busch was jubilant on the radio after the race and immediately thanked Chastain for the maneuver. It was a textbook example of teamwork to utilize the dirty air that the large spoilers on the back of Cup Series cars create.
