A number of cars were involved in an early wreck, including Danica Patrick, Cole Whitt and David Reuitmann. Patrick got loose and went hard into the wall in turn 1, ending her day barely after it began. Reuitmann also was forced to the garage. Kyle Busch, who started the race from the back of the field in his backup car, was forced onto the apron to avoid the wreck, but the splitter damage seemed to be limited. |
