- NASCAR issued a red flag to repair Turn 1 and apply speedy dry following significant cleanup needs from the incident.
- Dean Thompson and Connor Mosack were checked and released from the infield care center, while Sawalich initially underwent extended evaluation off-site.
- Early Sunday, Fox Sports reporter Bob Pockrass said Sawalich was released, and the driver later posted that he was sore but feeling better after returning home and thanked staff at UAB Hospital.
- The crash sequence began when Leland Honeyman was turned in four-wide racing, leading Connor Mosack to slide back up the track into Thompson and Sawalich; a separate 12-car crash ended Stage 1 and also drew a red flag.
