Tony Stewart was running 10th during Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway when he got into the No. 51 Chevrolet of Justin Allgaier on Lap 236, essentially ending his chance for a top-10 finish.
Stewart lost control during contact, spun out and hit the wall, bringing out the eighth caution flag of the day.
"Smoke" had been running aggressively throughout the day, knocking Austin Dillon out of the way earlier. He had also initiated contact with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Stewart's No. 14 ride was repaired and returned to the track three laps down, and outside the top 35. Shortly after his return to the track, he hit the wall again, bringing out another caution.
The veteran finished in 39th place and completed 282 of 312 laps.
