Chase Elliott crossed the start/finish line in his No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet just behind Logano, and ahead of three others he had battled for the lead throughout the stage: Kyle Larson, Aric Almirola and Ryan Blaney.
Meanwhile, Kyle Busch earned the free pass on the Stage 2 caution, edging Kevin Harvick as the first car one lap down at the end of the stage on Lap 250.
Harvick dropped from the leaders on Lap 184 when he had to come in for a green-flag pit stop because of a loose wheel. Harvick fell from running second to one lap down.
The Bristol Night Race is scheduled to conclude on Lap 500.

STAGE 1
Ryan Blaney took the lead after a competition caution midway through Stage 1, and held off a hard-charging Kevin Harvick at the stage's end to capture his fifth stage win of the season Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.
In all, Blaney led 108 of the first 125 laps of the Bristol Night Race in his No. 12 Team Penske Ford.
Harvick crossed the start/finish line just behind Blaney in his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.
Clint Bowyer, Chase Elliott and Aric Almirola rounded out the top five in the stage.
The eventful Stage 1 saw race favorite Kyle Busch find trouble just after the green flag dropped.
A 15-car pileup came on Lap 2 when Busch’s No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota drifted up the track and made contact with the No. 12 Team Penske Ford of Ryan Blaney.
Busch spun in traffic, doing enough damage to Bubba Wallace’s No. 43 Chevrolet that he was forced from the race. AJ Allmendinger’s No. 47 Chevrolet also sustained damage, as did Martin Truex Jr.’s No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota.
