Sheldon Creed won the Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, taking the lead from William Sawalich on the first overtime restart and holding off Sawalich and Taylor Gray for his second victory in the Chase. The win allowed Creed to remain the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series points leader. Jesse Love started from the pole alongside Creed after qualifying was canceled because of inclement weather, with Sam Mayer and Carson Kvapil occupying the second row. Kvapil appeared to be in contention late but suffered a brake failure with about 50 laps remaining, ending his chances for a strong finish.
