Busch’s No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota made severe contact with the outside retaining wall in Turn 2 after contact from the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet of non-playoff driver Austin Dillon. Busch drove away with heavy damage but parked in the garage to end his race.
“It’s killed,” Busch told his team over the radio communications as he limped back to pit road and brought his No. 18 behind the wall.
