Two cars wrecked in violent NASCAR Xfinity crash at Bristol
A vicious crash between Creed and Poo𒁏le overshadowed the Bristol𓆏 Xfinity event.
Two cars were heavily damaged after a violent crash during Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity race at Bristol Mꦿotor Speedway.
The accident was triggere꧒d by Dean Thompson hitting Sheldon Creed while they battled for 15th position at Turn 4 on lap 74.
The contact left Thompson stranded on the track and left him vulnerable t𓃲o oncoming traffic.
While several drivers steered clear of the wreckage, Brennan Poole couldn’t spot the Haas Factory driver in time, slamming side-first into th♏e #00 Ford after making a last-ditch effort to grab the inside line.
The impact sent Poole several metres further up the road, with the entire right-side body♏work ripped off from the rest of the #44 Alpha Pr🐷ime Chevrolet.
Given the scale of the incident💛, Creed and Poole were evaluated at the infield medical centre, but both were later released with no reported injuries♐.
They wereꦏ eligible for Dash 4 Cash at Bristol, a programme that rewards Xfinity drivers financially for performing well during a select stretch of four races.
