While battling for positions in the back half of the top-20 on the final lap of Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, a crash broke out behind the battle for the race win between Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher.
From an onboard camera shot from 17th-place finisher Bubba Wallace, it appears that contact from Tyler Reddick, who had a massive run on the exit of Turn 4, sent Austin Dillon spinning into the No. 43 car of Corey Heim, which then sent Heim spinning into the infield grass and Dillon back into the outside wall.
Due to the contact, Heim finished the race in 22nd, while Dillon was credited with a 25th-place finish. Both drivers were sitting 17th and 18th respectively at the time of the incident.
