Despite all these talking points from the race, the highlight came as Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin came to blows which each other after a rain delay.

The #24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driver retaliated as a show of displeasure towards the #11 Toyota Camry TRD driver and went on to spin him out in one of the ensuing caution-flag periods. Byron elaborated on the incident post-race and said: “Yeah, he (Denny Hamlin) ran me out of room. We’re lucky we finished. It was really, really hard contact. It wasn’t like just a light contact or anything like that. Yeah, I didn’t mean to obviously spin him out over there. Obviously, I’m pissed off just not going to get run like that. We’ve always raced so well together. I don’t know what it was all about. The #19 (Martin Truex Jr.) took his air away, he ran out of racetrack, so he chose to run me out of racetrack completely.” Watch the complete interview below: NASCAR@NASCAR"I'm just not going to get run like that."
