Creed ultimately took the lead when Jonathan Toney instructed him to pit for tires with 26 laps remaining. Love, a competitor in the same division, collided with Allgaier, costing both a win and potentially the championship. Allgaier acknowledged his mistake, while Love expressed regret over his poor decision.
