They said, “I can tell you the cleanup is gonna be massive over here outside turn number one. Connor Morrell with the helmet off talking to officials, but that sprint car chassis is completely bent in half.”

“I mean, the entire engine is exposed, the underbody bent like a banana, just a little bit including some of the down tubes on the left side.”
