Ricky Stenhouse Jr. brought home his second career 2nd place finish at Bristol, Denny Hamlin finished 3rd, Austin Dillon fourth, and Chris Buescher finished 5th, rounding out the Top 5. Kyle Busch led tons of laps tonight but ended up having something break on his #18 M&M's 75th Anniversary Toyota Camry.
