On Lap 99, a multi-car accident collected several cars at Phoenix Raceway, leaving seven different drivers unable to continue. On a Stage 2 restart, the field fanned out four and even five-wide through Turns 1 and 2. Usually, it all gets sorted by the time they make it onto the backstretch, but not this time.
Justin Haley and Chase Briscoe made contact, sending the No. 19 of Briscoe up off the ground before it shot up the track. He slammed into the side of Carson Hocevar and pancaked the Spire Motorsports driver against the wall, in an impact violent enough to blow Briscoe's right side window out. Hocevar's own car jumped off the ground for a second as he was sandwiched between the out-of-control Briscoe and the outside wall. Most of those around them had nowhere to go as the field piled into the mess.
