- This historic 0.001-second margin broke previous close finishes of 0.002 seconds from Darlington 2003 and Talladega 2011, setting a new series record.
- Buescher recalled needing to finish 13th regardless of Chase Elliott’s result while refusing to celebrate early, acknowledging the intense pressure and precise details involved.

- The Cup Series will return to Kansas Speedway on Sunday, giving Buescher another opportunity to compete on a track where he remains part of NASCAR history.
