Junior was able to walk himself to the care center after the incident. He also expressed frustration earlier during a nearly two-hour rain delay regarding the start time.

The good news for the No. 88 team is that next week is Pocono, a track where Junior has won before. A victory at the Tricky Triangle next week would not only be a nice rebound, but also propel him into the playoff conversation. Unfortunately for him, it will be another 3 p.m. start.
