Zane Smith and Ryan Blaney (P11 & P12 respectively) last pitted in lap 217 and could attempt to stretch the rest of the race on their current tank of gas.

@ZingBatt Yes, JHN did get out of the gas going through the bumps. And there was still contact.

[Joe Passero @PasseroJr]

The 47 got into the 77, 77 into the 42 after the 42 got a bit slow through the bumps. Herbst, Berry also got a piece of the wreckage.

Caution is back out on lap 204.

Buescher got pushed wide into Wallace. They checked up and Byron had a run, getting right into the back of Wallace’s No. 23. Wallace’s car slid down the track and collected Alex Bowman.

Wallace and Bowman are done.
