On Lap 57 of the 100-lap event, Gibbs got into the back of McDowell as they battled three-wide with Justin Haley for the second and final transfer spot.
McDowell and Haley crashed, while Gibbs escaped unscathed. He went on to take the lead, but would have to lap the wounded car of McDowell 20 laps later. McDowell made it difficult and turned down on Gibbs, causing the two drivers to make contact.
