Ty Dillon, Blake Koch involved in early XFINITY dustup at Atlanta

Published Mar. 4, 2017 2:48 p.m. ET

It didn't take long at all for the first dustup in Saturday's XFINITY Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with Ty Dillon getting loose in his No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevy and getting hit by the No. 11 of Blake Koch as they headed into Turn 1 on just the second lap of the Rinnai 250.

Unfortunately for Koch, he got the worst of it. He ended up having to take his car behind the wall in the garage, which under NASCAR's new rules governing wrecked cars meant he was done for the day.

Dillon made several trips to pit road without losing a lap. And although he restarted the race in 38th, he was all the way up to 12th by the end of Stage 1 -- which was won by Brad Keselowski, one of nine Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series regulars who were driving in the lower-series race.
