2019 Advance Auto Parts Clash
Contested over 59 laps, shortened from 75 due to rain, it was the first exhibition race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.Prior to the start, Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin, both of whom were involved in practice incidents, were sent to the rear for backup cars.Those five -- Austin Dillon, Alex Bowman, Jamie McMurray, Kevin Harvick, and Martin Truex, Jr. -- were the top five at the end of session break on Lap 26.Menard attempted the overtly aggressive "side draft" blocking maneuver to slow Johnson, but the two cars made contact.With the field bunched, a massive pileup ensues, with Keselowski, Austin Dillon, Harvick, Ryan Newman, Elliott, Aric Almirola, Denny Hamlin, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex, Jr., Erik Jones, McMurray, Kyle Larson, and Alex Bowman also involved.
