Whilst this was one of the most talked about incidents, there was more drama over the course of the race involving Juncos Hollinger Racing star Conor Daly.

Daly took to social media after the race to discuss the incident, revealing the extent of the damage he had to contend with for the rest of the race.

“Unreal… 21 car half wrecks twice in front of me and I got absolutely wiped out by the car behind me,” he wrote on X.
