Video: Justin Allgaier and Ross Chastain Trigger Multi-Car Melee in Closing Laps at Texas

Well, that shakes things up.

On a restart with 24 laps to go, Justin Allgaier lost traction below Ross Chastain and chased his car up the track. This caused both drivers to lose ground and get passed by a large chunk of cars.

Upset by the move, Chastain opts to turn left into Allgaier. Unfortunately, they were in a four-wide situation and a huge crash ensued.
