Video: Jesse Iwuji SLAMS Into Race Leader Ty Gibbs Under Caution at Portland

Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Portland took a bizarre turn under caution in the second stage, as Jesse Iwuji SLAMMED into the race leader.

Yeah… I don’t… even know…

Ty Gibbs has absolutely DOMINATED the first half of Saturday’s Pacific Office Automation 147 at Portland International Speedway and it was really looking like nothing could stop him.

That is until Jesse Iwuji came along and SLAMMED into the race leader while under caution. As a result, NASCAR decided to park the No. 34 Jesse Iwuji Motorsports entry for two laps for his involvement in the incident.

… that was weird …

This served as the tipping point of the event, as things really began to unravel after this point with multiple on-track incidents.
