All of the drivers who finished among the top 10 in the first and/or
second stage ended up finishing in the top 14 at the end of the race.
This ties the record set in the spring 2017 race at Atlanta.

Ironically, Austin Dillon finished 11th with 0 stage points in both of
those races.

Never, since stage racing began, has the group of all the top 10
finishers in each stage finished any better than within the top 14 at
the end of a race. However, there were some instances where this almost
happened:
2019-06 Martinsville
2018-25 Darlington
2018-24 Bristol
2018-20 New Hampshire
2018-03 Las Vegas
2017-36 Homestead

In addition, there have been 6 races where all of the top 10 stage
finishers finished the race in the top 15:
2019-11 Dover
2018-19 Kentucky
2018-06 Martinsville
2018-05 California
2018-02 Atlanta
2017-07 Texas
