Gibbs, who once compared himself to Jesus after an in-race altercation with a teammate, is only running part-time in the Xfinity Series. He's still finding time to make new enemies.
On a final restart, Mayer found himself well behind Gibbs heading into turn 1. Seemingly seeing the chance for retaliation, Mayer dove into the corner as aggressively as possible, barreling into Gibbs and sending the leader spinning. Mayer fell to third, but he handled a oily and somewhat unsafe surface well over the final laps and retook the lead in time to take his second career win shortly afterward.
Mayer was not penalized during the race, but NASCAR has begun to suspend drivers for intentional wrecks over the past year and may decide to bring down a post-race penalty after a review. Ty Gibbs will start fourth for today's Cup Series race at the same track. As Gibbs was quick to note, Mayer is not in that event.
