== Overtime controversy
=At the race's original final lap, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. hit the wall coming out of turn two. NASCAR brought out a caution moments before race leader Ryan Blaney passed the finish line. This meant the race would go into overtime, as the NASCAR All-Star Race rules for that year required the race end under green. Blaney was unaware of the caution and lowered his window net shortly after crossing the finish line. Driving without a secured window net is considered a safety violation and would typically result in a black flag. Blaney attempted to secure the window net by himself, but was unable to do so properly. NASCAR did not allow Blaney to come to pit road in order for his team to securely install the window net. Instead, Blaney retained his lead for the overtime restart and drove with a half-secured net. He would claim afterwards that his window net was secured during the overtime laps. Denny Hamlin, as well as fans, later criticized NASCAR for the timing of the caution and allowing Blaney to drive and keep his first spot with a blatant safety violation. NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Scott Miller admitted the caution was called prematurely and they had "no way for [them] to know" if Blaney managed to securely install the window net after he originally lowered it.
In response to the controversy, NASCAR pledged to increase the amount of communication between the race control, Race Director and Senior Vice President of Competition in calling cautions to prevent inconsistent calls from reoccurring.
