In a span of 24 hours, Austin Hill went from hero to zero.<\/p>\n

Twenty-one hours after winning Saturday\u2019s O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series race, Hill was leading the Anduril 250 coming out of a restart on lap 32 when he made a mistake in Turn 1 that took out Trackhouse Racing teammates Shane Van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch \u2014 the odds-on, pre-race favorite and a 19-year-old phenom who earlier became the youngest driver in NASCAR Cup history to lead a lap on a road or street course.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, guys, I locked up the rear brakes,\u201d Hill radioed his crew after overshooting the entrance to Turn 1 and forcing Zilisch into the outside wall.<\/p>\n

At the restart, Zilisch had pulled up alongside and to the left of Hill while van Gisbergen briefly made it three-wide to Zilisch\u2019s left. But as the leaders approached the right-handed bend of Turn 1, van Ginsbergen backed out while Zilisch set up with a good outside line into the turn.<\/p>\n

But as Zilisch was preparing for the turn, Hill continued in a straight line, forcing Zilisch into the outside wall with van Ginsbergen crashing into the leaders.<\/p>\n

The accident eliminated all three leaders. Hill was driving the Richard Childress Racing entry formerly driven by the late Kyle Busch.<\/p>\n

Van Gisbergen and Zilisch had led 15 of the first 30 laps and were both in excellent position when it came to tire and pit-stop strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was having a lot of fun,\u201d said Zilisch. \u201cI gave Austin room there and I got taken out. That wasn\u2019t fun. We had a really fast car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Van Ginsbergen said he had \u201ca pretty good run coming off the start, but I backed out of it because I didn\u2019t want to be three-wide going into that turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Gisbergen had claimed his sixth pole on a NASCAR road or street course Saturday. He had won four of the five road races that he started from the pole \u2014 leading to a joke in the garages that there needed to be a bounty out there to stop the New Zealander.<\/p>\n

\u201cHill missed the turn,\u201d Carson Hocevar radioed his pits during the stoppage. \u201cVan Gisbergen\u2019s car is out. I guess Austin wins the bounty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat accident raised everyone\u2019s experience,\u201d said Kyle Larson. \u201cGuys started thinking they had a chance to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The red flag was waved because Zilisch\u2019s impact with the outside wall actually moved the barrier, forcing a track repair.<\/p>\n

Notable<\/h4>\n

Before every NASCAR Cup race, Goodyear provides teams with a course chart showing the variations in grip. According to Goodyear representatives, Naval Base Coronado has a record number of grip variations as the cars travel across five different surfaces.<\/p>\n

\u2022 El Cajon racing legend Jimmie Johnson finished 28th in the penultimate start of his NASCAR Cup career. \u201cThis was an interesting race,\u201d said the seven-time NASCAR champion. \u201cIt was just an ever-changing environment. Every sector of the track had a different challenge to it. The grip levels, not only getting the power down but getting the car stopped. It was a very awkward and interesting rhythm required, but it was really a lot of fun when you got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eighteen-year-old Brent Crews took over for the injured Christopher Bell (broken wrist) as a substitute driver during the first round of pit stops. But his race lasted only 17 laps before the transmission failed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A couple other thoughts from drivers on the first NASCAR San Diego Weekend:<\/p>\n

A.J. Allmendinger, who finished fifth: \u201cI\u2019ve been to a lot of great events. This might be the best one. It felt like there were 150,000 people here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon: \u201cNone of the first-time events I raced at during my career were like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
