Big: On lap 135, Austin Cindric spun which brought out the caution. Chase Briscoe also spun at this time right in front of Cindric. They were both running around the high-teens. Neither of them appeared to get any level of notable damage from this incident. Following this incident, Briscoe took his car to the garage, so something was clearly wrong for the #14 at this point.

Notable: During the Briscoe/ Cindric caution, Alex Bowman who was running in 4th got an equipment interference penalty.
