Edit - I missed the other thread, please lock.

Details are sparse, but he has been transported to the hospital. I really hope this dude is okay 😟

Hit while upside down. Holy shit.

That is horrifying. Hitting the wall flush. Then spinning on your top, then getting nailed flush on the drivers side at 200 mph while upside down.

Apparently media was told to leave the pits and black screens were put up. It doesn't look good.

I hope he's OK because that t-bone hit was vicious.

Was the driver in the day-glo car doing something wrong when he made contact? I know that Nascar is more of a contact sport but what did he expect would happen when he nudges someone on the back corner that speed?
