Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney all looked to be heading to solid top-10 finishes in Stage 1 of Sunday’s Fan Shield 500 at Phoenix Raceway. But then, things went south in a hurry.

It appeared that Hamlin got loose underneath Keselowski heading into the turn. Hamlin slipped up and collected Keselowski. Blaney had nowhere to go and piled in as well.
Hamlin and Keselowski were able to get their cars back on track, while Blaney — the point leader heading into the race — is done for the day.
