There will not be a third-consecutive win for John Hunter Nemechek in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. On a restart at Lap 46, Nemechek was getting some aggressive shoves from behind from his teammate Sammy Smith, which caused Nemechek’s No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Supra to turn.
As Nemechek began to lose control, he collided with Cole Custer’s No. 00 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Mustang, and the two drivers went into the outside wall.
Here is a video of the crash that ruined the day for Nemechek and Custer:
