Post Race
Heading into turn 3 on the penultimate lap (89), Chris Buescher was leading Brad Keselowski and Erik Jones. Jones attempted a 3-wide divebomb, but it resulted in contact sending Erik Jones and Chris Buescher hard into the wall, and Keselowski lost time, giving Martin Truex Jr the lead. Keselowski only salvaged 9th, while Buescher was 16th, and Jones finished last. After the race, Keselowski expressed his anger towards Jones, but a fight didnt break out. When asked post-race, Keselowski said "I understand what he was trying to do, trying to make it 3 wide to dive bomb and take the lead, but he got down on the apron and screwed us over when he made the contact with Chris (Buescher)". Jones said "Its the second to last lap and I wanna win. A million dollars is on the line. I obviously feel horrible for the #2 and the #6, but if there's a million dollars on the line, everything goes". Jones refused to comment more on the situation. Buescher said post-race "Erik wanted to win. He saw the gap open and the rest is history". No penalties were given out to any driver in the aftermath of the incident
