Shane van Gisbergen was taken out with 23 laps to go at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Van Gisbergen shone in the opening two stages. He finished 12th in Stage 1 and 11th in Stage 2 to be the best of the Trackhouse Racing trio.
Save for Team Pensek’s Ryan Blaney suffering an early exit, the 267-lap South Point 400 was a relatively uneventful affair until Stage 3.
The second caution came on Lap 236 when front-runner William Byron slammed into a slowing Ty Dillon, who was trying to come to the pit lane.
Pit stops followed under yellow. In that sequence, van Gisbergen shot up 11 places from 16th to fifth after a blistering pit stop and a call to take two tyres.
Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe led the cars who took two tyres ahead of Joey Logano (Team Penske), and Brad Keselowski (RFK Racing) while Kyle Larson (Hendrick Motorsports) was fourth as the first car to take four tyres.
On the restart, with 23 laps to go, seventh-placed Christopher Bell got into the side of eighth-placed teammate Ty Gibbs and got the #54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry sideways.
Van Gisbergen got tipped into a spin and was collected by the #3 Richard Childress Racing Camaro of Austin Dillon. That spat SVG up the road and into the path of Carson Hocevar in the #77 Spire Motorsports Camaro
SVG retired his car to pit lane, and was ultimately classified 33rd.

That set up a 14-lap dash to the chequered flag. Briscoe lead Logano, Larson, Bowman, and Hamlin on the restart.
Shod with four new tyres, Hamlin surged to the front and took the lead with four laps to go with a pass on Briscoe. Larson got by Briscoe too, taking second place. Briscoe ultimately wound up fourth, behind Bell.
With victory, Hamlin booked his place in the Championship 4 race at Phoenix.
