When Ryan Preece ran into the back of B.J. McLeod on pit road it took the No. 47 Chevrolet out of the race. It also resulted in Anthony Pasut suffering a broken fibula and torn ACL in his right leg.

Supplied from Hendrick Motorsports, Pasut had been assigned to JTG Daugherty Racing this season. Hendrick Motorsports will now have to send a replacement later in the week to fuel Preece’s car.
Preece, a contender for Rookie of the Year, said he had looked down at his tacometer prior to hitting McLeod.
