What happened

Connor Mosack led the Lap 114 restart from the inside at Homestead-Miami Speedway after his No. 7 Spire Motorsports team stayed out while the leaders pitted on Lap 110. Most of the lead-lap field stopped during that caution. Mosack later finished 16th.

What it cost

Mosack was 4th by the Lap 115 caution. Christian Eckes, Kaden Honeycutt and Corey Heim had moved ahead of him.

What could have been done differently

The team should have pitted Mosack for fresh tires with Eckes and Honeycutt. Eckes used his tire advantage to pass Mosack and hold off Honeycutt for the lead. Honeycutt had asked his crew to pit for fresh tires and went on to win.
