Nemechek then make a quick more to the outside. Ware lined him up and shoved him into turn three.

Ware was running 38th at the time.
As they returned to turn one, Nemechek passed him back. Once again, Ware leaned on his rear bumper.
A crash ahead of them brought out a caution.

The No. 51 team stated, “Alright, we got that out of the way with the No. 42. Just mind you business. We already did it, already did it!”
At the same time as that radio transmission, it appeared that Nemechek brake checked Ware. Ware drove right into the back of him.
The team jumped back on the radio, “(expletive) that. We’re going to end up wrecking ourselves.”
