IN THE EARLY hours of Monday morning, Dale Earnhardt Jr won the Coke Zero 400 at the Daytona International Speedway but most people will remember the race for this terrifying crash involving Austin Dillon.
Towards the end of the race, Dillon’s number three car was clipped by Jeff Gordon before flying over three lanes of traffic and into the catch fence at the entrance to turn one.
Remarkably, Dillon was able to walk away with just some bruising and waved to the crowd after being helped from his car.
