Well that was the weirdest Southern 500 finish I've ever seen, even caught the commentators off guard, they thought Denny's car had an issue. To me it appears Denny Hamlin slowed way down in turn 3 which caught Kyle Larson off guard and Kyle wrecked trying to avoid running into the back of Denny. For a few playoff contenders it was a bad race. Michael McDowell got loose and hit the inside wall early in the race. Two Hendrick Motorsports teammate's William Byron and Alex Bowman bounced off of each other on lap 14. Kyle Busch got loose when Austin Dillon was trying to pass on the inside and hit the wall. The crowd erupted in cheers as Kyle threw one of his famous tantrums and drove his car straight to the teams hauler nearly hitting someone in the process which of course got him a ticket to the Nascar Officials hauler. In his interview he blamed his team as usual. William Byron suffered a tire deflation after one of the tire changers accidentally knocked the valve stem off the LF tire and hit turn 1 wall. Ryan Blaney suffered a brake failure late in the race.
