The incident happened on lap 217 of 300. While racing for 8th, Creed ran the bottom lane while Hill rolled the top.
As they exited turn four, Creed tagged the left rear of Hill. It did appear that Hill was pinched down slightly off the outside wall in comparison to other cars running the outside lane.
Hill was sent toward the inside wall. He bounced off the inside wall and made more contact with the turn one wall.
Hill picked up heavy damage.
Austin Hill was noticeably upset after the incident. He declined all interviews.

Sheldon Creed comments
“We can talk about it. He’s going to be extremely frustrated,” Sheldon Creed told NBC Sports after the race.
“Which, he probably should be. Obviously, I didn’t mean to left rear him off the corner. We just kinda came together.”
“That’s on me really. I’m on the bottom.”
“We’ll talk about it. If he feels like he needs to get me back then he’ll do that and we’ll move on.”
Both Creed and Hill remain above the Round of 8 cutline.
