Stage 2 was punctuated by a caution on Lap 109 when the No. 88 Chevrolet of Alex Bowman slammed into the outside wall after suffering a cut right front tire. Damage to the No. 88 was too significant for Bowman to continue.
The 400.5-mile race is scheduled to end on Lap 267.

Pole winner Martin Truex Jr. cruised to his fourth stage win of the season when he led at the conclusion of Stage 1 in Saturday’s Quaker State 400 presented by Walmart at Kentucky Speedway.
Truex Jr. led 51 of the first 80 laps, yielding the lead in the stage only after coming in for a green-flag pit stop.
Fellow “Big Three” contenders followed right behind Truex — Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch finishing second and third, respectively, in the stage.
A speeding penalty on a Brad Keselowski pit stop on Lap 42 forced the No. 2 Team Penske Ford to the rear of the field when he had been challenging for the lead midway through the stage. Keselowski finished Stage 1 in 18th.
Kyle Larson, who had qualified 18th, started from the rear after he missed driver introductions. He worked his way all the way up to eighth by the end of Stage 1, however.
