One of the scariest NASCAR wrecks you’ll ever see.
That’s how people on Twitter and other social media described Austin Dillon slamming into the Daytona safety fence on the last lap of the Coca-Cola 400 early this morning.
Imagine being kids who watched it in the third row.
Dillon is fine.
Want to thank all the guys that came out to the car to check on me. We compete against each other every week but we are one family #NASCAR

NBC Charlotte is reporting that five fans were injured.
It was very vicious,” Dillon said of the crash. “It’s twisting you around in there, and the belts are loosening with each hit, so the hits are getting more and more violent. By the fourth hit, you’ve separated enough so that the fourth one is going to hurt more than others. I held on to the steering wheel as hard as I could. I’m sure I’m going to find more bumps and bruises during the week, but right now I feel all right.”
Here’s what it looked like from the front row.
