On a Lap 324 restart during Sunday’s Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway, Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar collided in Turns 3 and 4, sparking a multicar incident.
Entering Turn 3, the No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota rammed the backside of Hocevar’s No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. While the initial contact didn’t send Hocevar around, a stack-up ahead of Hocevar resulted in Wallace hitting the No. 77 again and eventually sending Hocevar around. Hocevar’s spin resulted in a multicar crash involving a handful of drivers.

Hocevar placed 17th when the checkered flag waved, while Wallace was credited with a season-worst 36th-place result.
