Overview
- Berry spun on Lap 36 at World Wide Technology Raceway after slight contact with Elliott while racing three‑wide with Joey Logano.
- The driver’s‑side impact tore off the left‑front wheel and suspension on the Wood Brothers Racing Ford and triggered a Lap 37 caution.
- Berry was unable to return to the race and was credited with 36th, marking a second straight Playoff DNF following last week’s Darlington crash.
- Team radio blamed Elliott for diving late into the corner, while Berry said Elliott slid up after a run and called it wrong place, wrong time rather than intentional.
- With two poor results to open the Round of 16, Berry now likely needs a victory at Bristol Motor Speedway to advance.
