Safety crews quickly extracted Dillon from the wreckage and he was transported to a local hospital, where he is being treated for a broken collarbone and concussion. The crash was a reminder of the dangers of NASCAR racing, and it left fans shaken. Earnhardt Jr., who was visibly shaken by the incident, said that he was "just glad that Austin is okay."

The Coke Zero 400 is one of the most prestigious races on the NASCAR schedule, but this year's race will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Dillon's crash was a sobering reminder of the risks that drivers take every time they get behind the wheel. It is a miracle that he walked away from the wreck with only minor injuries.
