Justin Allgaier and Darrell Wallace Jr. were innocent but costly bystanders when Brandon Jones got into the rear end of Allgaier and triggered a multi-car wreck with 35 laps remaining in Saturday's XFINITY Series Chase race at Kansas Speedway.

As the cars exited Turn 1, Jones' No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet clipped the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevy of Allgaier, who subsequently spun up the track and immediately was plowed into by the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford of Wallace.

"The 33 just absolutely destroyed us!" Allgaier complained over his team radio shortly after the accident, which was, for the most part, narrowly avoided by yet another Chase participant in Ryan Reed. The damage actually was much worse to Wallace's car than Allgaier's, as the No. 7 team was able to make repairs to his and get him back on the track.

Wallace was not so fortunate, as his car truly was destroyed and his day ended. Wallace appeared woozy as he climbed from his car afterward, and was being checked out on the scene by medical personnel even though he said he was fine.

"Just unfortunate circumstances, you know. ... I think we could have gotten a top 10 if we hit the restarts just right," Wallace said. "But it just wasn't our day. We were trying to make the most of it and get out of here with a clean finish."
