Trevor Bayne, Greg Biffle and Kyle Larson were all segment winners in Saturday's Sprint Showdown and have advanced to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway (FS1, 7 p.m. ET).
Michael McDowell spun on the frontstretch with five laps remaining, which set up a one-lap shootout in Segment No. 1 leaving the battle for the segment win up to Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney and Bayne.
With Elliott and Blaney starting first and second on the restart, Bayne made a bold move to make it three-wide coming out of Turn 2 to take the lead.
Elliott wasn't finished though, as he regrouped to make one last run on Bayne off the exit of Turn 4.
After a fierce battle to the line, Bayne barely edged Elliott to move on to the All-Star Race.
On that same restart, rookie Blaney was black-flagged for jumping the restart, moving him to the tail end of the field for Segment No. 2.
In the second 20-lap segment, Biffle made quick work of Elliott and Dillon to take the lead early and never looked back finishing with over a two-second lead on Kyle Larson.
In the third and final 10-lap segment, Kyle Larson started first and stayed there for the win.
