RACE INFORMATION
Moffitt wins Atlanta: #16-Brett Moffitt stayed in contention all night, and when opportunity knocked, he answered, claiming the Active Pest Control 200 win at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday.
Pole-sitter #4-Kyle Busch led 62 laps, but a caution flag fell with five laps to go. He led a stream of trucks down pitroad for tires, but his stop went south when he pulled away with loose left side lug nuts. He pulled on track, and lost the wheel. The miscue gave the lead to #13-Myatt Snider for the restart. Once the green flag waved for the final time, Moffitt, who lined up from third at the restart, quickly jockeyed for position.
#18-Noah Gragson, #21-Johnny Sauter, #41-Ben Rhodes, #88-Matt Crafton, #52-Stewart Friesen, #13-Myatt Snider, #97-Jesse Little, #98-Grant Enfinger, and #20-Austin Dillon were the rest of the top-10.
There were five caution flags for 24 laps and nine lead changes among six leaders.
