On the white flag lap, Berry put the bumper to Hocevar as they battled for 27th spot into Turn 1. Berry then came up the track at the exit of the corner, and Hocevar wasn’t giving him any room. They tangled, and Berry spun out, backing into the third of four tire packs lining the outside of the first corner.
“Not clear,” radioed Hocevar, who carried on without issue. Berry limped back to the finish line, dropping to 32nd in the final running order. TV showed us Berry after he got into the tire pack, but viewers at home did not see what caused the incident.

Bubba Wallace spins off the nose of John Hunter Nemechek
We saw Wallace spun at the entrance of Turn on TV, but again, we were missing the start of the story. With 14 laps to go, AJ Allmendinger got to the inside of Wallace on the run down into Turn 1. After giving way to the Kaulig driver and trying to slot in behind him, Nemechek drove deep into the corner and tagged Wallace in the right-rear, spinning him around.
“Typical f*** sh*t,” radioed Wallace as he rejoined the race in 29th.

Josh Bilicki punts Katherine Legge at the exit of the bus stop
With 29 laps to go, Legge was running 34th and Bilicki was 35th. TV caught Legge mid-spin, but here’s the full story on what started it. Bilicki caught up to Legge in the middle of the bus stop, bumping her multiple times before muscling his way by. Legge went for a full 360-degree spin, and took a moment before getting the car re-fired. This incident came after a multi-lap battle between the two part-time Cup drivers and the only open entries in the field. Neither driver said anything about the run-in in the immediate aftermath.

Kyle Busch runs out of fuel just before the checkered flag
Busch was moments away from his first top five of the year when the No. 8 Chevrolet started to hiccup as he ran on fumes through the final two corners. Onboard video showed that was initially gaining on Chase Briscoe for fourth, whose car seemed to burp as well before Busch’s own car began to stumble.
He started shaking the car from left to right as Tyler Reddick passed him for fifth into the final corner. Austin Dillon and A.J. Allmendinger then passed him on the frontstretch as the checkered flag flew, dropping Busch to eighth in the final running order. It was still his best finish of the year, but there was obviously some frustration over the radio with just how close they were to a top five. Bilicki then gave Busch a friendly push back to the pits.
P8! Really really solid day. Had a T5 car, just ran out of fuel on the last lap. Definitely headed in the right direction the last couple weeks!!👊🏻 Free Chips & Queso at @cheddarskitchen tomorrow!👏🏻@ZonePouches l @RCRracing l @TeamChevypic.twitter.com/t70gPgCSi4
