Ryan Newman was caught up in a multicar crash late at Richmond International Raceway as he was battling to get into the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Tony Stewart and Newman made contact on Lap 363, sparking the crash that ended with Dylan Lupton’s car wedged between Newman’s and the wall. As Newman’s car piled into Stewart’s, Carl Edwards' car was pushing Newman's. David Ragan took a hard hit in the crash as well and ended up with severe front-end damage. Brian Scott’s car sat tail-end to Ragan’s on the track with the front end also destroyed.
Chris Buescher was also caught up in the incident, though he was able to drive away.
