The chance probably didn’t go anything like LaJoie planned. Corey LaJoie’s bad dayĬorey LaJoie got his big chance Sunday while subbing for Chase Elliott in the No. That’s a recipe for heavy braking on corner entry, and it was clear that some cars’ brakes couldn’t handle the demands. World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is a 1.25-mile track with flat corners and long straights. Gragson’s crash was because of an apparent brake failure and so was Wallace’s. Carson Hocevar’s brakes failed on lap 90 before Reddick had a brake failure 84 laps later. Four cautions were caused by wrecks by drivers who had brake failures entering Turn 1. Brake rotors kept failingįaulty brake rotors were the main driver of the caution frenzy. The first came when the track needed to be cleaned up following Noah Gragson’s wreck and the second came with fewer than 20 laps to go to fix the wall after a wreck involving Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. There were six cautions over the race’s final 100 laps and the stage also featured two red flags. The cautions happened fast and furious in the third stage. The rest of the first stage went caution-free after it restarted and the second stage had just two cautions.
