It was an incredible day.

Incident Between Teammates<\/h2>\n\n\nThe race was marred by an incident between Joe Gibbs Racing teammates on lap 110, when Denny Hamlin caused Ty Gibbs to hit the wall.\n\nHamlin questioned Gibbs’ attitude over his team radio.\n\n

Does Ty know we’re racing for a championship?<\/p>Denny Hamlin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nTy Gibbs, who briefly returned to the track before retiring due to damage, finished in 34th position and avoided commenting on the incident.\n\nHamlin, after finishing in 12th place, had a conversation with Joe Gibbs and JGR’s director of competition, Chris Gabehart, before speaking with the media.\n\n
