00:00And we're racing in music city, U.S.A.
00:29With a very aggressive move to block Josh Barry to take that first spot.
00:33This is what happened and how the lead changed.
00:36Haley got really loose right there.
00:38Diddy had to check up, trying to go around him, and Christopher Bell had momentum.
00:43And he will send a Christmas card, Justin Haley.
00:48William Byron, Buescher, Truex Jr.
00:50And Bubba Wallace all inside the top ten right now, hoping to get stage points.
00:56And off of four, it's going to be Christopher Bell.
00:59He won the XFINITY race and the cup race in Iowa or, excuse me, New Hampshire a week ago.
01:05And now he wins stage one here in Nashville.
01:08That's the eighth stage win already this season.
01:12So the field has the 11 and the 20.
01:1511 on the inside, 20 on the outside.
01:18Keselowski back in the fifth position on the restart.
01:20There's T.J.
01:21Majors.
01:22Still there.
01:23Still going to be lined up.
01:24Can I get you up after him?
01:25Still there.
01:26Still there.
01:27Nothing behind him.
01:28Clear up.
01:29Clear up by two.
01:30He's running 37th.
01:31You can see the back of the pack.
01:32So struggling with his race car.
01:33Just trying to find some speed.
01:34The grip isn't there.
01:35He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:36He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:37He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:38He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:39He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:40He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:41He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:42He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:43He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:44He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:45He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:46He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:47He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:48He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:49He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:50He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:51He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:52He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:53He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:54He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:55He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:56He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:57He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:58He's got a little bit of a problem.
01:59He's got a little bit of a problem.
02:00He's got a little bit of a problem.
02:01He's got a little bit of a problem.
02:02He's got a little bit of a problem.
02:04great job.
02:10On the bottom, underneath the 48, coming up.
02:17The 48's all the way again the wall.
02:23So really, I think Ty just needed to race track.
02:26He was having handling concerns, either lose during the wheel turn, it's hard to tell.
02:31You know, 48 doesn't do anything wrong.
02:33He can't move right anymore.
02:35We are limited right now on some of our camera angles that we can show to you because of
02:41lightning in the area.
02:42Now we're seeing the caution come out.
02:44Some of our camera operators had to come off of scaffolding and off of their elevated positions,
02:49and that's why we were going to more of the onboard cameras there or maybe the robotics.
02:55And you're seeing now the weather coming in, affecting this race.
02:58The caution has come out.
02:59There's the radar.
03:00A little bit ready.
03:01Go, go, go.
03:0445 lost.
03:0520 bumper already.
03:06Just lined up bottom here.
03:079.5 off of you.
03:08One inside.
03:09Just Chris here.
03:10Driving off the 9 of your mirror.
03:11Keep it in your tracks.
03:12You're good.
03:13Just driving off Chris down there.
03:16And that's what drives the 24 up, Jeff.
03:18Yeah, see, up the racetrack.
03:20Now he gets on the dirty racetrack you talked about, and to be honest with you, I'm surprised
03:25he didn't hit the wall.
03:26I mean, it shows you how clean the racetrack is up there.
03:28And out of four, that is going to be a sweep of the stages for Christopher Bell.
03:33It's the fourth time that he's swept the first two stages of a race.
03:39He definitely wants to change history when it, oh, maybe not so happy between Denny Hamlin
03:45and Kyle Larson.
03:47Teammates up front as we get ready to go back to racing for the final stage, Hamlin-Bell
03:54back into the gas.
04:02A great restart for Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick in the 45 trying to follow him on
04:07the bottom of the racetrack.
04:08Clear that 11 of Hamlin.
04:09Left side.
04:10Yeah, left sides are up.
04:11Right sides are up.
04:12Maybe it's a vibration or maybe just stuff on the tires.
04:13Oh, you heard the driveline.
04:14Won't go into fifth.
04:15So they go fourth to fifth during the lap.
04:27McDowell reports it won't shift correctly.
04:30Reddick completes the pass on Hamlin for that second spot.
04:52Denny Hamlin in that second row.
05:06Hamlin trying to make a three-wide.
05:07Contact made.
05:08Car up into the wall behind them.
05:14And that's the 43 of Erik Jones.
05:17Caution comes out once again.
05:20Three-wide in front of him.
05:25I'm going to say flat tire.
05:26Ran something over.
05:27A year ago it was three-wide for the lead for multiple laps.
05:31Two-wide for the lead now between Reddick and Bell.
05:36See Bell right against Reddick through the corner.
05:39Not running up the racetrack.
05:41Trying to run the lowest possible line he can.
05:45This didn't happen five years ago.
05:47No way did you see this many laps in a high-speed track between the side draft or the outside
05:53car making the inside car loose.
05:55They didn't have the ability to run side by side.
05:58Second lane.
06:00Everything looks fine right there.
06:01But around it goes.
06:03And that's the razor's edge that these drivers are on.
06:06So how does this strategy work out for Blaney, allmendinger, LeJoy, chastain, Logano?
06:13Do they have to run a long way?
06:16Big damage on the 20.
06:19Huge hit for Christopher Bell.
06:22Caution has come back out again.
06:46As for chastain, took two tires on that last stop to get his track position.
06:51The car is a little bit tight.
06:52But Ross is now making that pass.
06:53That's for second place.
06:59Ross trying to go back-to-back here at Nashville, won a year ago.
07:03Oh, big spin.
07:06Keselowski into the wall.
07:13The 10th caution comes out.
07:25Harrison Burton also spinning around.
07:28It seems as though the aggression level is rising.
07:41No time.
07:42Gets to the bottom three wide.
07:43Look at all the spots he's losing.
07:54Blaney racing chastain hard up front.
08:02Chastain able to clear it.
08:03Coming off turn four.
08:04A big wobble by chastain.
08:18That opens the door.
08:19Here comes Hamlin.
08:20Clear, clear, clear.
08:21All clear.
08:22Focus forward.
08:23Momentum.
08:24They all think they can make it on fuel, but again, it's very close.
08:32Are the calculations right?
08:36Denny Hamlin coming.
08:37Oh, and a slide by Austin.
08:38That brings the caution out.
08:39There will be a restart.
08:40Welcome Kyle Larson.
08:41Welcome Kyle Busch.
08:42Not sure how that happened.
08:43We'll find out.
08:44Green flag back in the air.
08:45A great start for the 11th.
08:46The 5 ducked down.
08:47Cut to 19.
08:48We've got a spin in the back of the car.
08:49Let's see if he's able to keep it straight and we stay green.
09:05Three wide per second.
09:06Denny Hamlin pulling away.
09:07Will he have enough fuel to come all the way back around?
09:08They're wrecking behind him.
09:09The caution will come out again.
09:10There's four overtime.
09:11Hamlin on the inside.
09:12Larson on the outside.
09:13It's overtime again.
09:14Two to go from Nashville.
09:15The 5 doesn't go.
09:16They bottle up behind him.
09:17Big wreck for the 18.
09:18They've got to be careful.
09:19They've got to be careful.
09:20They've got to be careful.
09:21They've got to be careful.

09:58They've got to be careful.
09:59They've got to be careful.
10:00If Briscoe gets to him...
10:02White flag here by two.
10:04Yellow's out.
10:05Crap.
10:06One more time we're going to try overtime.
10:08They didn't get to the white flag.
10:10And you see the four.
10:13Such a tough day for Josh Berry.
10:18Back in the gas they go.
10:22Both get away clean.
10:25Great restart for Logano.
10:26Now it's about hitting your marks.
10:28You don't have to defend.
10:29Just make lap time.
10:31And do you have enough fuel?
10:33Tyler Reddick making the move on the high side.
10:36All the way up to fourth.
10:41Down the back stretch.
10:42Here comes Briscoe.
10:44Logano on the bottom.
10:47Briscoe drifting back.
10:48Here comes Reddick.
10:50He is flying.
10:51He is going to get to the 22.
10:55Logano looking for a win in 2024.
11:01Reddick one more chance.
11:03Through three and four for the final time.
11:05He goes up the racetrack.
11:07Logano goes up the block.
11:09Off turn four.
11:11Logano is going to win in Nashville.
11:14Go!
11:18We're out of gas.
11:19We did it.
11:20Yeah!
11:21Yeah!
