NASCAR driver Myatt Snider needed a few seconds to get his bearings before heading to the infield care center at Daytona International Speedway. Snider had just climbed out of his car after a airborne accident that separated his car’s engine from the rest of the vehicle.
“You don’t really know what’s going on. You’re just going some direction and it’s not the right one,” Snider said, speaking to media half an hour after the worst accident of his career.
Snider’s No. 31 Chevrolet hit the outside wall on the final lap of Saturday’s Xfinity Series race. His car went airborne, hitting the fence, and skidded across the track and into the grass in flames. The back-half of his car was entirely ripped apart as Austin Hill surged to the front of the pack to win the season-opener as cars collected behind him.
