… and everybody thought the brand-new inside wall in Turn 11 would be the problem at Sonoma.

The initial contact from the accident was made between Chandler Smith (No. 81) and Jeb Burton (No. 27) back around the tail-end of the top-10. Then, from that point on, Turn 3 at Sonoma Raceway became a parking lot.

Once the cars clogged the racetrack, there was no hope for several drivers behind him, as most sustained pretty minor damage, whereas a select few took the brunt of the impact.

A full list of drivers involved includes:

07 – Alex Labbe
2 – Jesse Love
6 – Thomas Annunziata
9 – Brandon Jones
11 – Josh Williams
17 – Boris Said
19 – Ty Gibbs
20 – John Hunter Nemechek
26 – Ed Jones
27 – Jeb Burton
29 – Blaine Perkins
31 – Parker Retzlaff
39 – Ryan Sieg
43 – Ryan Ellis
50 – Preston Pardus
81 – Brandon Jones
91 – Kyle Weatherman
92 – Josh Bilicki
98 – Riley Herbst
