Cole Custer and Layne Riggs were involved in a collision during the NASCAR race at Martinsville. Custer expressed frustration with Riggs, calling him an 'idiot.' As the race progressed, Custer was in contention for one of the final spots in the next round, along with Justin Allgaier and Austin Hill. Sammy Smith, Chandler Smith, and Sheldon Creed needed to win to advance. In the end, Allgaier won the race, and Custer secured his spot in the next round.
Allgaier wins. Custer advances.
Restart for overtime at Martinsville: Bottom-Top: Hill-Creed JHN-Allgaier Smith-Custer No.'s 2 and 18 need to win. I reckon things are gonna be nuts.
With six to go. Hill Creed Nemechek Allgaier SSmith Herbst Custer … if Hill wins, Custer at this point is two points ahead of Allgaier. If Hill doesn’t win, Hill needs to finish five spots ahead of Custer (six if Hill is fourth or worse).
Going into this restart, Custer has a two-point advantage on Allgaier for the final spot. Hill leads.

Issue for @J_Allgaier, cleared for 3rd but then @sheldoncreed just moved him out of the way. Back to P5. Custer in the mix too, +6 currently. 3 car battle for the final 2 spots. JHN still leads Hill by 0.9 secs.
Justin Allgaier to P4, which puts him -2 behind Hill and Custer now. 20 to go.
Here's the situation coming to a restart with 25 laps to go: -- Austin Hill is P2 and tied with Cole Custer (P7) for last two spots on points. -- Justin Allgaier (P5) is three points behind both of them. -- Sheldon Creed and Sammy Smith (P3 and P4) both need to win
will have 30 to go .. Nemechek Hill Creed SSmith Allgaier Burton Custer Riggs .... pts ... Hill +3, Custer +3, Allgaier -3 ...
Restart with 54 to go. JHN and Hill are 1-2. No. 21 and No. 7 of Allgaier are in, Custer out by 4 for now. Smith runs 9th, has been the best car all day and has fresher tires.
Custer, running 12th, is told he needs, at the moment, finish around 8th ... that's because Allgaier is second and Hill is third. ... I think he would need to be seventh with the tiebreakers if Allgaier/Hill don't lose spots.
With @sammysmithSS not leading, Hill and Custer now have the last 2 spots on points as they run. 65 to go. No. 18 in a huge gaggle of cars...and now another caution for @connormosack. Lots of contact. 💭 "That worked out really good," Smith is told. P10. #NASCAR
To finish ahead of Allagier and Hill, Custer has to be within five spots, unless Allgaier/Hill finish second/third and then Custer would lose tiebreaker. .... As far as Allgaier-v-Hill, whoever finishes best in the race would be ahead of the other in points.
As they run .. SSmith-leader, Custer +9, Allgaier -9, Hill -15, CSmith-must win, Creed-must win
Sam Mayer Adv JH Nemechek Adv Cole Custer +5 Justin Allgaier +0 -- Austin Hill -0 Chandler Smith, Sammy Smith and Sheldon Creed have to win
In points as they run after that stage: Mayer (win), Smith (leading), Nemechek (clinched on points), Custer (+8) would be the final four. Allgaier is -8, Hill is -14, but if Smith doesn't win then another spot opens up for one of them.
.@sammysmithSS takes Stage 2. He has to win to advance to Phoenix. Creed (P4), C. Smith (P7), Custer (P8) also gain points in the frame. JHN should be close on points to clinching a spot in the next round.
Caution is out for Layne Riggs. Cole Custer got into the rear of the No. 11 to turn him around. "What a f*cking idiot" Custer tells his team. #NASCAR
Sam Mayer Adv JH Nemechek +42 Cole Custer +2 Justin Allgaier +0 -- Austin Hill -0 Chandler Smith, Sammy Smith and Sheldon Creed have to win now for sure https://t.co/O24nOMiAmH
not including forecasting finish points based on where they run, pts after opening stage: Mayer-win, Nemechek +42, Custer +2, Hill +0, Allgaier -0 ... SSmith, CSmith, Creed now all must win ... unofficially, I have Nemechek needing four points rest of the way to clinch spot.
