Great News for NASCAR Fans as Myatt Snider is Cleared to Race at Auto Club Speedway This Weekend

At the Daytona International Speedway, there was a frightening incident during the Xfinity Series race. Myatt Snider got the ride of his life when he lost control of his car and buried himself into the wall. After that, his #31 car went airborne and tore through the catch fence.

By the time the car stopped careening wildly, it was practically reduced to a carcass. Miraculously, The 27-year old was able to limp away from the wreck, where he promptly visited the medical center for further checks. Now, reports have confirmed that doctors have cleared Snider to race this weekend at the Auto Club Speedway.

As per their diagnosis, Myatt Snider suffered from a sore left foot. Luckily, there does not seem to be any further sign of injury, despite the crash’s grisliness. With regard to track damage, the authorities managed to repair the catch fence repairs, adding 200 feet of fence and replacing two posts.

What did Myatt Snider say about the accident?

Speaking after the accident, he said, “I felt a push, and I started feeling the car go right. And, I’m like ‘Crap, I might be along for a ride here. And sure enough, I was. I got turned around to the side, and then I was facing backwards. I started seeing the racetrack, and I’m like, ‘Hmm, this is getting better as it goes.I’m extremely blessed to be as okay as I am.”

The Jordan Anderson Racing team will definitely be relieved at the news. The driver currently has one career win under his belt, which came last year at the Talladega Superspeedway. At that time, he raced for Richard Childress Racing, in the #2 car. Unfortunately, his first race for Jordan Anderson Racing was off to a bad start, through no fault of his own. On the bright side, he now has the green light for this weekend’s race, and he can redeem himself.
