Overview
- Contact from Ryan Preece in Turn 3 on Lap 101 sent Ty Gibbs into the wall and ended his Wurth 400 run at Texas Motor Speedway.
- Tension began late in Stage 1 after Gibbs slipped past on the inside, prompting Preece to tell his team “I’m done with him,” a rant Gibbs later reposted on X.
- Gibbs was scored 36th after the crash, while Preece continued and finished 14th in the Cup Series event.
- Preece said he hates that Gibbs wrecked but called it a repercussion of on‑track choices and told SiriusXM he chose not to give Gibbs a break.
- Gibbs said on the radio he will “get him another time,” a warning that reporters say points to a rivalry to watch as the season unfolds.
