This weekend’s ARCA Menards race at Phoenix left a lot of jaws dropped. Because amidst what the fans called a “chicken s**t” move directed toward Toni Breidinger, someone innocent was caught up and ended up in the hospital. Unfortunately, it was so bad that the 58-year-old D.L. Wilson had to be checked for a concussion. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

After Leland Honeyman and Toni Breidinger got caught up in the turn 3 wall, Christian Rose and D.L. Wilson, unfortunately, got tangled up in the wreck-fest, too. However, things got way worse for Wilson in particular who had to be rushed to the hospital with multiple injuries.
