After a long rain delay and three other midway segment finishes, the Coca-Cola 600 ended in the triumph of Austin Dillon! Cracking end to the race as Johnson, Dillon and Logano were saving a lot of fuel to make it to finish - and they were chased by Truex Jr, Kyle Busch & co. who had pitted and didn't have to save fuel anymore. Johnson and Logano were a lap or two short of fuel, unlike Dillon who took his maiden career win in Nascar's biggest series.

I didn't find the gaps of the cars, but found at least the winning margin from Jayski's site. Austin Dillon also gained the most positions (+21) during the race, and Martin Truex Jr. led the most laps. The pole extra points went earlier to Harvick. That brings us to:
Final results after 4/4 races:
1st) Mikko Suhonen 65 2nd) Jukka Sireni 50 3rd) Dominik Karda 41
4th) Mairo Toom 39 5th) Andrei Harnicu 36 (TB: 18.500s) 6th) Kyle Morris 36 (TB: 20.000s) 7th) Pedro Freire 35 (TB: 27.444s) 8th) Trae Fisher 35 (TB: 55.700s) 9th) Greg Tierney 28 10th) Willem Van Mierlo 26 11th) Marvin Mackenberg 25 12th) Ben Harris 13 13th) Janne Väänänen 12 (TB: 14.232s) 14th) Patryk Szeffler 12 (TB: 19.000s) 15th) Nazir Ali 3 16th) Martynas Bražėnas -9 17th) Alan Halford -29
The correct tiebreaker was only 7.2461 seconds this year, maybe the lowest in the history of this challenge.
Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch were selected as #2 driver by many and as quite a few other selected drivers scored 0-pointers, their pickers go down a fair bit. Not the finish Willem, Marvin, Patryk and Janne were hoping for, whereas Trae and Pedro make big comebacks! Andrei jumps a few guys too. Nazir gets back to positive, but Martynas isn't as fortunate. Alan's weekend was just a nightmare motorsports-wise as nearly all his #2 drivers scored a podium this weekend, I'm afraid that's a new record negative points in this game! Congrats to the winner, no idea how he luckboxed again his way to the victory this year too lol. Jukka keeps his silver medal and Dominik makes a good rise in the end too to the bronze!
Edit: Not a record negative apparently, Wopke has managed to pull a -37 in the past.
Also, the best possible driver lineup this year would have been the below one. How many of them did you have correct in your lineup?
F1 Monaco GP Driver 1: Sebastian Vettel Driver 2: Lewis Hamilton Driver 3: Carlos Sainz Jr.
Indianapolis 500 Driver 1: Hélio Castroneves Driver 2: any other driver from the list Driver 3: Takuma Sato
Coca-Cola 600 Driver 1: Kyle Busch or Martin Truex Jr. Driver 2: any other driver from the list Driver 3: Austin Dillon
WTCC Race of Germany Driver 1: Nick Catsburg Driver 2: Tiago Monteiro Driver 3: Norbert Michelisz
and that would have scored you a whopping 162 points. Overall, Dixon's, Alonso's and Monteiro's unlucky 0-pt moments caused the most havoc as they were selected by really many guys as their #1 and #3 drivers.
