Yet the local driver found hisself losing the lead with six laps left, according to a story from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. That happened in Turn 1 after Ty Gibbs gets a push from Justin Allgaier. Ironically, it turned out that Gibbs did hold off Gragson en route to a victory. Gragson finished in second place.
Meanwhile, here’s something to note about the race. Gragson had to pit in the lead, under green, with 64 laps left. He thought that a tire was going down. “I felt like … there was a slight vibration,” Gragson said. “We got the lead back on green flag pit stops and had to start conserving fuel.”
The Las Vegas driver thought that air pressure was too high on the right rear tire. That seemed to cause the tire to feel loose. But the tire situation calmed down after getting back on the track.
