Just a few shorts laps following Kyle Busch’s spin for a flat tire, a multi-truck in Turn 1 shook things up in Friday’s Bucked Up 200 in Las Vegas.
Heading into turn one with less than 40 laps to go, David Gilliand in the No. 17 and Raphael Lessard in the No. 24 made contact, sending both trucks up to the wall as traffic flew by.

Unfortunately, Ryan Truex, Bret Holmes, and Hailie Deegan had no place to go and drove straight into both trucks. Austin Wayne Self was able to scoot by and avoid any damage.
Four-wide racing throughout the field was a dangerous game.
