It has been a rough night for NASCAR Cup Series Playoff contenders in the 2021 Cook Out Southern 500. Kyle Busch is the latest championship contender, who has found trouble as he lost control after a tap while battling Austin Dillon on lap 124, and pancaked the wall with his No. 18 Toyota Camry.
Busch drove his wrecked car to the garage and immediately climbed out signaling that his night was officially over.
Kyle Busch is OUT!

After the crash, Busch sped through the garage entrance on pit road and even ran over safety cones in frustration:
