He did not make any ahead progress within the chaotic restart, and John Hunter Nemechek handed him as the sector crossed the road with three laps to go. A lap later, Busch obtained again beneath Nemechek via Turns 1 and a pair of.
He practically cleared the Legacy Motor Membership driver for twelfth on the exit of the nook, and two vehicles made contact. Busch’s No. 8 Chevrolet nailed the skin wall, damaging the automobile. Nemechek then labored his manner round him coming into Flip 3.
Nevertheless, Busch then appeared to swerve proper, knocking Nemechek into the skin wall. Busch went on to complete twentieth, and Nemechek rolled down pit highway to complete twenty first.
Each reacted to the conflict on social media following the race, giving two very totally different takes.
