NASCAR stopped the race as the lengthy cleanup got underway. Advertisement It was a shocking accident that turned the race track into a junkyard with 23 cars involved. The following drivers were forced to go behind the wall are completely fell out of the race: Joey Logano, Ross Chastain, Corey LaJoie, Austin Cindric, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Chase Briscoe, Daniel Suarez, and Josh Berry. Most of them never returned to the track due to the severity of the damage. LaJoie is running a part-time schedule this year and he had plenty to say after being taken out of the race. "We see people pushing like dummies early, and then I just come in here and get pushed into it," said LaJoie after being shown the replay. "I come out of the smoke and every corner on my Mustang was knocked off of it. Unfortunately, that was the end of my day. Advertisement 'I don't know what we're doing. We just started the second stage. I don't know why we're pushing like we're damn bumper cars at Frankie's fun park. That's not to be surprised. I think there's a lot of guys who don't make wise decisions driving these things on speedways."
