How did the race go for Kyle Busch, Corey LaJoie, and Bubba Wallace?

As mentioned before, Busch had a very strong race, finishing in a fine third place. This result came a week after he somehow managed to sneak in a victory at the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt race. Meanwhile, LaJoie came 17th, which was a minor improvement from 19th at Bristol. However, his season-best finish was 5th at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Finally, Bubba Wallace came agonisingly close to winning on home soil for the second time in his career. He was off to a great start when he won the first stage. Unfortunately, he dropped off in Stage 2 and caused a late wreck in the final couple of laps of the last stage.
