After nearly 90 minutes of waiting due to lightning delays, the NASCAR Xfinity race finally began with just five laps remaining in the first stage. Unfortunately, the race restart ended in chaos as Jesse Love’s aggressive move caused a massive crash, involving at least ten cars, including notable drivers such as Ryan Sieg, Sheldon Creed, and Justin Allgaier.
Despite the havoc, all drivers involved in the wreck were checked and released from the infield care center, with six unable to continue. Jesse Love, who triggered the crash, surprisingly remained competitive in his damaged No. 2 RCR Chevrolet.
Sheldon Creed, who had led the race and made a strategic pit stop during the weather delay, was ultimately swept up in the melee and expressed frustration at yet another crash impacting his race performance. Taylor Gray emerged as the eventual stage winner under caution after the wreck-filled restart.
