[10] Kurt Busch was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 30.461 seconds and a speed of 177.276 mph (285.298 km/h).

Busch was noticeably frustrated during post race interviews, saying: Reporter 1: What happened there with the #53, there late?

Reporter 1: Based on since you´re doing to a place where you won last time, last year, Richmond... Kyle Busch: Nope, can´t pass there.

On the same day, Smithley would post an announcement on Twitter, defending his racing career up to that point and saying that he wasn't mad at Busch.

[13] Busch would criticize the skill of lapped car drivers, saying “We’re at the top echelon of motorsports, and we’ve got guys who have never won Late Model races running on the racetrack.

As of now, nothing more has been said, but the question of skill needed in NASCAR has remained, recently brought up by Quin Houff´s incident with Matt Dibenedetto at the 2020 O'Reilly Auto Parts 500.

Rick Allen, Jeff Burton, Steve Letarte and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the call in the booth for the race.

Brad Gillie, Brett McMillan, Wendy Venturini, and Heather DeBeaux worked pit road for the radio side.
