Ryan Blaney's night at Charlotte Motor Speedway ended abruptly as the No. 12 BODYARMOR Chill Ford Mustang was making a run towards the top 10 as he was collected in a multi-car incident in Stage 3, resulting in a 38th-place finish. After finishes of 23rd and 19th in the opening two stages, respectively, Blaney restarted the third segment from 17th and made his way up to 12th in the running order as the balance began to settle in. Following a caution on lap 237, Blaney lined up to restart 12th and found himself in the top lane of a three-wide battle coming out of turn four, resulting in contact with the Nos. 19 and 99 cars that put the BODYARMOR Chill Ford into the outside wall and sustained terminal, right side damage.
Blaney's Thoughts
"It was three-wide and tight getting off the corner. I thought I was kind of high enough as I could go and it seems like, I don't know if it was just a big squeeze, a couple of us bounced off each other - just tight off [turn] four. The first caution set us back and then finally got close to the top 10, but now we're going to go home early. It's one of those things."
