NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 2015 CZ 400 Dillon Huge Crash

Officials at NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway vow to review safety features at the track after one of the biggest crashes in recent history marred the end of the Coke Zero 400 early Monday morning, when driver Austin Dillon was caught in a multi-car pileup that left his car totaled and 13 spectators injured.

«We’ll work closely with NASCAR [with our review],» Speedway president Joie Chitwoodsaid. «We did this after the last incident [a 2013 Xfinity Series race]. We’re going to learn from it and see what else we can do to be better. I think you saw some of the improvements at work today, so what we can learn from that tomorrow and the next days, we’re going to incorporate moving forward.»

Dillon walked away unhurt save for a few minor bumps and bruises, proclaiming himself ready for the next race.

«I am just going to be really sore,» Dillon told NASCAR.com. «It got my tailbone pretty good and my arm. Should be fine, just go ice it up and get ready for Kentucky.»

Dillon’s car was hit in the pileup and went in the air over two lines of cars before being snagged in the «catch fence,» which dropped it back down on the track. Thirteen fans in the grandstands were hurt by flying debris as the fence was ripped open by the force of the crash, but after being extricated from his No. 3 car by various crew members, Dillon raised his arms to the crowd before being evaluated on-site.

«It looked like that car just caught someone in the right position to get air under it, and it just lifted it right up in the air,» said race winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose father was killed at Daytona in 2001. «I haven’t even seen the wreck, and I don’t even know if I want to see it.»
