Overview
- The contact on Lap 110/111 in Turn 1 sent Ty Gibbs into the outside wall during a three-car battle with Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell.
- Gibbs’ No. 54 sustained significant damage, required a tow, returned many laps down, and later retired from the race.
- Hamlin fumed on the radio about Gibbs’ racing, then told reporters he "made a mistake" in Turn 1 while trying to pass.
- Team owner Joe Gibbs said the drivers will resolve the issue themselves, avoiding immediate team-imposed directives.
- Competition director Chris Gabehart called it a racing incident and said JGR will revisit etiquette between playoff and non-playoff teammates.
