Logano's teammate, Brad Keselowski started second, and led a race-high 40 laps today.

Roush Fenway Racing driver and current XFINITY Series points leader Chris Buescher was able to leave today's race with a third-place finish.

But at the end, we had quite a fight between Regan Smith and Ty Dillon, which got Smith frustrated over a restart where he spun Smith.

Dillon took the blame for the incident, but Smith was not happy by any means.

"There's zero chance that 3-car wins the championship," Smith told the NASCAR On NBC TV crew. "I'm sure I'm not the only guy he dumped today," he also said.

"I hate that for his guys," Dillon said about the incident. "It was a mistake on my part. It he wants to handle it like that ... we'll just meet in the bus lot."

Dillon finished 5th, while Smith finsished 20th.

The NASCAR XFINITY Series is back next weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
