There's a reason the unofficial NASCAR Cup Series race results are considered unofficial, because it's not uncommon for adjustments to be made after the race.
And we're not just talking about something like what happened with Fox Sports erroneously claiming Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon won at Talladega Superspeedway a few weeks ago, when he really finished 19th after being involved in a last-lap crash.
Fox Sports, which has a habit of immediately removing the results from the screen (or simply not showing the full results) once the race ends, initially had Front Row Motorsports' Noah Gragson as the 10th place finisher of Sunday's All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway, a race won by Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin.
Gragson was among the eight drivers who qualified for the 200-lap third segment of the 350-lap race around the four-turn, 1.0-mile (1.609-kilometer) high-banked "Monster Mile" oval in Dover, Delaware due to his average finish in the first two 75-lap segments. He was 19th in the first segment and 10th in the second, and he started the third segment 14th.
The driver of the No. 4 Ford notably still would have been one of the six to lock in, even had two of the 19 drivers already locked in not been eliminated by crashes before the third segment began.
However, the official results placed Gragson in 11th, with RFK Racing's Brad Keselowski scored in 10th instead of his initial 11th. This did not affect the point standings, as points were not awarded this Sunday. The 2026 season is the first in Dover's 58-year history during which it will not host a points race.
Here's a look at the official Dover results from the second and final exhibition race on the 2026 schedule.
