There are some wrecks that don’t look as bad but end up resulting in heavy injuries and impact for the drivers. Then there are wrecks that look bad but the drivers escape unharmed from them. Then there’s the Kyle Larson-Ty Dillon wreck that was both, something Dale Earnhardt Jr’s reaction perfectly encapsulated.

During the NASCAR Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course, the defending Cup champion seemingly lost control of his car heading into a turn, and literally, flew into the #42 at a side angle that completely annihilated Dillon’s car from the side.

Reacting to this wreck, Earnhardt Jr. reposted a video of it on his Instagram stories, writing, “This don’t even look real.” 

Speaking about this wreck in a post-race interview, Ty Dillon described it as the worst one of his career in terms of impact.

“I didn’t see a whole lot. I saw a blue flash and I’ve never been hit so hard in my life,” Dillon said. “I’m grateful the good Lord was looking out for me and these cars are so safe.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr has one advice for Kyle Larson for his Indy 500 Dream

Kyle Larson hasn’t tried to keep his desire to compete in the INDY500 a secret, a desire that must’ve been tickled as he raced on the IMS recently.

However, if Dale Earnhardt Jr is to be believed, the Hendrick Motorsports driver needs to be sure about one thing before he begins converting the Indy 500 dream into a fixture on his calendar.

“I think he’ll get to a point in his life when he starts to really take stock in his age… if he’s gonna run the Indy 500, he wants to run it to win it,” Earnhardt Jr. said.

“He needs to do that in a certain period of time before he ages himself out, (before) his chances of being competitive in a competitive car and all that goes away.”
