Martin Truex Jr: 7
True🌳x had a typical quiet, but solid afternoon yet again.

Bell didn't really go ღforward but he did spend some time up front and had a decent afternoon.
Shane Van Gisbergen: 8
The🦂 Supercars ace followed up his Chicago street course win with a solid top-ten result today in a different environment.

Gibbs won the Xfinity race❀ yesterday but had ꦐa much tougher time today, getting roughed up a couple of times by other drivers.
Ryan Blaney: 6
It was an eventful day for Blaney, who was rammed by his teammate, then dumped AJ Allm𓂃endinger for some reason.
William Byron: 9
Noꦜ one will talk about it, but this was a sensational drive by Byron, coming from the very back of the ༒field to finish inside the top 15.
Austin Cindric: 7
Cindric has always been good on road cours♑es but he didn't have the sp𒊎eed to showcase it today.
Ross Chastain: 6
Two of the Trackhouse cars were ༺very quick, and yet again, Chastain wa🀅s not one of them.
Bubba Wallace: 5
From a race perspective, Wallace did okay by keeping it clean, but others around him fared🤡 much better and made up a bunch of ground.
Denny Hamlin: 4
Hamlin led laps today but it was off sequence, and h꧑e was never a factor for ꦅmuch of the weekend.
Brad Keselowski: 4
A top 20 finish for Brad on a road course wasn't terrible, but he won't be happy abou⛎t it.
Brodie Kostecki: 8
ღBrodie had an impressive weekend, showing speed and the ability to recover after bad fortune in his first ever NASCAR start.

Not the way the t♌hree🅷-time Brickyard 400 winner wanted his final race to go but he did improve 15 positions on the day.

Mike Rockenfeller: 7
Aggression was not an issue for Rockenfeller, who w𓆏as using up his fellow competitors when the opportunity presented itself.
AJ Allmendinger: 3
The i☂naugural race winner had a weekend to forget, which is a shame considering how much he looksꩵ forward to this stop on the calendar each year.
Jenson Button: 3
Button got into🐠✅ it with several drivers on Sunday, and often times he got the short end of the stick.
Kamui Kobayashi: 3
Kobayashi was another driver that got run ಌinto as other d💙rivers made mistakes.
Joey Logano: 2
Logano made a fool of himself in this race last year wi🌸th his dive bomb maneuver, and today was just as bad, taking out multiple 🐎drivers, including ramming the back of his teammate on the way to a 34th place finish.
Kyle Busch: 5
His great day went south late i🎐n the race, which will only motivate him even more heading﷽ into next weekend at Watkins Glen.
