Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon placed 10th at the end of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Beginning the race from the 17th position, Dillon did not do much during the first stage. He spent the whole stage fighting to maintain a top-20 running position; by the end of it, he was 19th. In the second stage, Dillon did take a contrarian pit strategy by pitting for tires on lap 182, getting him off-sequence with the leaders. However, this would not do much in the context of his overall running position as, by the end of stage two, he placed 18th and failed to score stage points throughout the day. In the final stage, Dillon executed on his pit stops and finally made up ground. The No. 3 Chevrolet driver kept his car clean and then finished in the 10th position by the end of the race. This was Dillon's first top-10 finish at Bristol since 2020 and his first top-10 finish of the 2025 season.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Chase Briscoe finished fourth in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Beginning the race from the 14th position, Briscoe quietly and steadily made his way through the field throughout the entire race. By the end of the first stage, Briscoe made it up to 11th and fell short of earning stage points. In the second stage, Briscoe cracked the top 10 and finished the stage in ninth, earning two stage points. In the final stage, Briscoe and his team executed on their pit stops, navigated traffic efficiently, and raced up to the fourth position, scoring his third top-5 result of the 2025 season. This finish also was a new career best for Briscoe at Bristol and the first top-5 ever in his Cup career at the site.

Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing obtained a finish of third in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. It is the first top-5 of 2025 for the driver of the No. 54 Toyota after struggling throughout the year so far. Beginning the race from the sixth position, Gibbs lost ground early and fell outside of the top 10 as several cars passed him. Gibbs spent the rest of the stage moving up through the field and made it to ninth by the ned of the first stage, scoring two stage points. The second stage was quiet for Gibbs as he ran inside the top 10 for the entire time in the stage. He gained more positions during the stage, finishing it in seventh place while gaining even more stage points. In the final stage, Gibbs raced up to the top five, competing against Alex Bowman and Carson Hocevar before falling back to fifth. The No. 54 Toyota team then pitted earlier than some other drivers and used fresh tires to get up to third while competing for second against Denny Hamlin. Ultimately, Gibbs settled for third by the end of the race, collecting a new career-best Cup Series finish at Bristol in the process.

Christopher Bell of Joe Gibbs Racing placed eighth at the end of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. Starting the race from the seventh position, Bell's race was up and down, but he ran inside the top 10 throughout most of the event. In the first stage, Bell kept pace with the rest of the pack and only moved up one position to end the stage in sixth, scoring multiple stage points. In the second stage, Bell moved further up the pack and into the top five. The No. 20 Toyota driver ended the stage in the third position, gathering eight stage points and setting himself up to compete for a top finish. In the third stage, however, Bell fell back as others passed him, and despite some pit strategy by pitting earlier than the other leading drivers, he made it as far as the eighth position. Bell's finish in this week's race marks his fifth consecutive top-10 finish at Bristol and his sixth overall in this Cup career.
