The first multi-car incident of the day in Sunday's Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway involved a pair of NASCAR Cup Series champions.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got loose in Turn 4 on Lap 150, forcing the No. 9 of Chase Elliott into the wall. Elliott's contact with the wall broke the right-rear toe link on Elliott's Chevrolet, forcing him to spin and collect Corey LaJoie and Brad Keselowski.

While Elliott and LaJoie's pit crews worked on their respective cars, Keselowski's No. 6 Ford was towed back to the garage area. It's the second week in a row that Keselowski has been involved in a crash.

The caution is the fourth of the day for cause. Ty Dillon and Todd Gilliland suffered flat tires earlier in the race, while Erik Jones spun down the backstretch and made hard contact with the inside wall.

Josh Berry won Stage 1 of the Ambetter Health 400.
