If you were thinking that you saw a cloud of smoke on the broadcast as race leader Kyle Larson came to take the checkered flag Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, it looks like you weren’t seeing things.
Even though NBC Sports didn’t catch any actual footage of a last-lap incident, Ty Dillon did indeed spin around in Turn 4 on the final lap of the race, in what appears to be a single-car spin for the Petty GMS driver.
@DesignsSf (Speedy) on Twitter captured video of the last-lap spin from his seat in the grandstands at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR was able to not throw a caution, as Dillon scurried away from the scene to finish the race.

The last-lap spin for the driver of the No. 42 Sunseeker Resorts Chevrolet Camaro put the cap on a difficult afternoon for Petty GMS, who saw both of the team’s entries finish outside the top-25 in 26th and 30th, both multiple laps down.
