Tyler Reddick was getting pushed by Kevin Harvick. He slammed the wall after getting loose.
Others weren’t so lucky. Ryan Blaney was collected. Kyle and Martin are friends. Also got a piece of it.
They were unable to return to the race. Blaney lost a right front tire.
It looked like some guys got tangled up. The people in the back were scattering to miss it. It looked like the No. 5 are owned by Kyle Larson. The person went to the apron. By the time we got slowed down, they were coming back across the track and I was the lucky winner to get there first. It is a bad day. There is a long way to go. Hate to end the day, but it is what it is.
After being released from the infield care center, Reddick said that his car wasn’t stable when he got to his rear bumper. I was caught off guard by what happened in the corner, but I have had this before. It was the first time I’ve been put in that situation and I got loose and took out some good cars.
He added: The car did not have the stability that it needed to have. It was dancing around a little bit down the back and I was okay. Our car is out of the race and a lot of other good cars as a result of the car coming around right away.
What happened as well was offered by Jones. It was difficult to tell. It looked like the No. 45 (Tyler Reddick). I couldn’t see how Tyler Reddick got turned around. We spun out there on the bottom when I was trying to get around it and then I got hit on the left side hard enough to take out the left rear and end our day. It is what it is. We were racing and doing all we could. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wish we had been a bit ahead of him. Ty Dillon lost an engine during the first stage of the race, which caused the first car to fall out.
