At the conclusion of Stage 1 , the field filed down pit road with Joey Logano leading both the race and the title fight. While pitstops were fairly straightforward for the field, a highly unusual moment was soon to follow.
The official Toyota Camry pace car was herding the field to the restart to begin the second stage when a major lapse in judgement was made. The pace car was about to miss its pit road turn-in and abruptly turned down at the last second, crossing right in front of new race leader Chase Elliott.
