I think it's a reasonable take, even though the Gibbs cars made more pace over a run. The Gibbs cars were better, probably from lap 30 in a run onward, but really came to life deeper into stage 2, and stage 3. Byron lead over 100 laps, Larson was better than Byron and probably had the best car over the first 30 laps.
While the Gibbs cars were better over the course of the entire run in the second half of the race, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that the *race* was dominated by HMS given the laps lead and finishing position.
Fastest cars don't always win, and fastest cars don't always lead the most laps. Execution is a huge part of it. Bell screwed up, and James Small... well, their radio Convo speaks for itself, j think.
