During the AdventHealth400 NASCAR race, Chris Buescher secured his first stage win of the 2024 season in Stage 2, which ended at lap 166, marking his sixth career Cup stage victory and earning him a playoff point. Buescher's win was facilitated by a problematic pit stop for Kyle Larson, who struggled with a slow change on the left front tire, causing him to fall behind. Despite extending his lead by three seconds at one point, Larson's pit issues allowed Buescher to take over and maintain the lead, finishing ahead of Larson and other top competitors. After the win, Buescher communicated a need for car adjustments, seeking a tighter setup for better performance.
