Things are heating up at North Wilkesboro Speedway. The latest caution, the 10th of Saturday’s Tyson 250, has taken multiple drivers out of contention for the victory in a historic event.
This accident, which collected Rajah Caruth, Ben Rhodes, Zane Smith, and Tyler Ankrum, started as a result of a huge stack-up at the exit of the second corner, which started as a result of Taylor Gray and Kaden Honeycutt.
Ankrum, who had been running inside the top-10 for the majority of the event, slammed the outside wall at the exit of turn two, then as the field rushed behind him, several other drivers had nowhere to go.
Caruth, Rhodes, and Smith were all forced to retire from the event prematurely, while Ankrum was able to continue, albeit two laps off the pace.
Tough break for @TylerAnkrum, who was having such an awesome run today.
Rajah Caruth, Ben Rhodes, and Zane Smith also collected late in the race at @NWBSpeedway.#NASCAR
