John Hunter Nemechek’s Scary Encounter After The NASCAR Truck Series Race at Darlington

Many of you might ask- what really happened to the Truck Series driver? Well, here’s what went down after the race.

While Fox Sports’ Jamie Little was interviewing him, a fan suddenly hurled a water bottle-like object at the driver. Fortunately, the projectile narrowly missed hitting the driver, but it still landed on the car and made him jump a little. The worst part was that the bottle was probably full or half-full, so had it connected, it would have really hurt.

Surprisingly enough, John Hunter Nemechek barely flinched. He just saw the bottle hit and went on talking to the reporter and discussing the race!
