Crash and DNF Herbst crashed and finished 37th in the Shriners Children's 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday afternoon.

Impact The rough start to his rookie campaign continued Sunday at Phoenix Raceway. Herbst started mid-pack and was battling to gain better track position. On the lap 99 restart a multi-car crash would happen on the back straight as Herbst would get together with Justin Haley and two other cars as they tried to exit turn 2 in four-wide formation. They simply ran out of room and Herbst's car would sustain enough damage to be retired for the afternoon. It was his first DNF of the season.
