The qualifying heat races were cancelled due to torrential rains and flooding at the speedway. As a result, NASCAR resorted to the morning qualifying session to set the starting lineup.

On the first lap of the race, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made it 3 wide in between Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch that had Busch hit the outside wall off of turn 2. Upset with that, Busch retaliated and wrecked Stenhouse on the very next lap in the same corner where he hit the wall taking Stenhouse out of the race. Stenhouse parked his car in Busch's pit stall where he had a conversation with Busch's crew chief Randall Burnett. In his interview, Stenhouse quoted "Maybe Richard [Childress] will hold my watch after the race", a reference toan altercation between Childress and Busch in 2011. After the race was over, Stenhouse waited outside of Busch's hauler to confront him and the two had a conversation that got more heated after both began to disagree with what happened on the track. After Stenhouse told Busch to "go back and watch it," he threw a punch at Busch that connected and the two got into a fistfight with Stenhouse's father Ricky Stenhouse Sr. trying to hold Busch back before Busch started attacking him too. The two got separated with both their crew members getting involved as well. The two had another heated conversation while both were getting held back to where Stenhouse said "I'll wreck you atCharlotte" to where Busch replied "Bring it! I don't give a fuck! I suck just as bad as you! Let's go!"^[15] Stenhouse Jr. was fined $75,000, Stenhouse Sr. was suspended indefinitely, team mechanic Clint Myrick was suspended for 8 races, and turner Keith Matthews was suspended for 4 races for their involvement in the fight.^[16]
