Ryan Blaney dominated EchoPark, clinching his first win of the season after leading tons of laps and sweeping both stages — a huge boost to his momentum and points chase.

Ty Gibbs quietly surged with a fourth-place finish after starting outside the top 20, showcasing his consistency and speed at North Wilkesboro.
