In what started as an electrifying start to the Mexico City race, Kyle Busch’s bold move into a tight corner triggered a multi-vehicle pileup that dramatically altered the field’s composition. Despite his extensive experience behind the wheel, Busch’s aggressive approach forced several competitors into compromised positions, sparking an immediate chain reaction across multiple lanes.

The wreck inflicted substantial damage on numerous cars and sent pit crews scrambling for rapid repairs. Among those caught in this early turmoil were prominent racers including:

  • Chase Elliott
  • Joey Logano
  • Denny Hamlin
  • Austin Dillon
