Kyle Larson was able to make a late race pass on Brad Keselowski to keep his Xfinity Winless Streak going onto Phoenix. Larson was the next Cup driver to steal a victory from the Xfinity Regulars but it could come at a good time for drivers like Blake Koch who finished 15th, He is now only one point inside the Final Four. Cup Regulars Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick finished third and fourth while Chaser Erik Jones rounded out the Top-5. Matt DiBenedetto crashed on lap 129 when his car nailed the outside wall. DiBenedetto would get out on his own power but would not be cleared to race in today's AAA Texas 500.
