He blew a tire and spun on his own. Not sure how much debris was put down but he stopped at the entrance to pit road. Since it took a few moments for him to get going I don't have a problem with the call by NASCAR - better to be safe than sorry; had someone else spun or gotten punted off onto pit road (like Kahne earlier in the race) with Byron sitting there we could've had a nasty incident.
