Somewhere around stage 3 of the race, four massive pile-ups occurred during the race. The first wreck involved Nemechek, Joe Graf Jr., and Sheldon Creed after Nemechek and Brown spun out, causing a plethora of cars to be taken out behind them. A few laps later the second wreck that took place involved Allgaier, Allmendinger Mayer, Josh Berry, Karam, and Ryan Sieg. Then finally, when things seemed to be going right, the third wreck happened. This time around it involved, Hemric, Jeb Burton, Alfredo, Brandon Jones, Allgaier, and Landon Cassill.
Then once again, AJ Allmendinger hit Noah Gragson of JR Motorsports and spun him out, triggering yet another massive multi-car pile-up.
All in all, JR motorsports had a terrible day, after the wreck-marred horror show that ran at Xfinity Daytona.

Somewhere in between the carnage, there was a happy ending for Jeremy Clements, who won what was a terrible race for most of the others at Xfinity Daytona. This also serves as an iconic win for Clements who picked up his first win in the past 164 races of being winless.
