Joey Logano had an even worse scenario. He left pit road with the jack wedged under his car. If it had slipped out on the ensuing lap a caution would have come out, but it remained locked under his car as he made his lap.
The situation was costly, but not as much as it could have been. Martin Truex Jr. exited a few laps later with an apparent engine failure, which would end his Chase hopes after a few more green-flag laps. By Lap 47, Logano was 27th and Hamlin was 19th. Both remained on the lead lap.
