Overview

  • Contact on Lap 110/111 sent Ty Gibbs spinning into the outside wall while he battled Denny Hamlin for 11th with Christopher Bell close behind.
  • Gibbs' car required a tow for repairs, returned many laps down and later retired, while Hamlin continued and finished 12th.
  • Hamlin, who is in the playoffs, said he made a mistake while trying to pass after earlier radio messages questioning Gibbs' tight racing.
  • Gibbs offered terse remarks post-incident, including comments such as "Game on" and a suggestion they would address it next week.
  • JGR competition director Chris Gabehart called for clearer teammate etiquette during the playoffs and Joe Gibbs said the drivers will work it out, with no penalties reported.
