Clint Bowyer led five times for 24 laps and had one of the best long-run cars in the field Sunday. But contact with Joey Logano on lap 432 resulted in a flat tire for the Stewart-Haas driver and put the team in catch-up mode for the remainder of the race.

“He was racing me pretty hard,” Bowyer said of Logano. “… We just barely touched, and it must have cut the valve stem out of it or something and hit it just right.”

Bowyer managed a seventh-place finish in spite of the setback.

“My strong suit, just like last week, was long runs,” he said. “We just slowly kept picking them away. You could see that on restarts. I couldn’t take off worth a damn, but I could really come on strong on the big end of a run.”
