NASCAR's Elton Sawyer told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio: "There was a multitude of bad decisions that was made by a multitude of drivers throughout that event."

Sammy Smith was fined $25,000 and docked 50 driver points, while Jeb Burton and Taylor Gray were fined $5,000 each for their conduct at the infield care center. Smith and Gray, who have been feuding since their years in Late Model racing, confronted each other after the race, but were kept apart by security.

It wasn't the first time a race at Martinsville, especially one in the Xfinity Series, devolved into chaos, but the most egregious accident of the night pushed it over the top.
