With 36 laps to go, Chase Briscoe got into the wall and went airborne as he reversed down the track. Briscoe was leading but going neck-and-neck with Joey Logano and Alex Bowman before he got turned into the wall. Aric Almirola was among those to miss the collision and drive through the cloud of smoke.<\/p>\n

It didn’t stop there.<\/p>\n

With 23 laps to go, Denny Hamlin and Daniel Suarez were battling for position with Daniel Hemric, Justin Haley and Chase Buescher in the pack. All drivers were involved in the wreck and were not happy NASCAR didn’t throw out the caution flag to stop the race before the crash could occur.<\/p>\n

Somehow, Austin Dillon managed to skirt past the mess of cars, avoiding Harrison Burton, and get into first place before the red flag was waved for the rain.<\/p>\n

“Better officiating,” Hamlin said when asked what could be done to avoid wrecks like those.<\/p>\n

Scott Miller, the senior vice president of competition for NASCAR, said officials were “on top of the weather” and monitoring the potential for rain as it came in.<\/p>\n
