William Byron had Victory Lane in his sights at Michigan on Sunday before a stroke of misfortune hit him. His No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ran out of fuel with roughly one and a half laps of racing left to do, and he succumbed to a 28th-place finish. The intense drama that went down at the two-mile oval track deserves a more magnified look.

Chris Buescher earned his best finish of the 2025 season in second, with Ty Gibbs third, Bubba Wallace fourth and Kyle Larson fifth. Ross Chastain finished sixth, followed by Zane Smith in seventh (his best finish of the season), Kyle Busch eighth, Ryan Preece ninth and Brad Keselowski 10th.
