Two cars wrecked in violent NASCAR Xfinity crash at Bristol
A vicious crash between Creed and Poole oversha🔯dowed the Bristol Xfinity event.
Two cars were heavily damagedও after a violent crash during Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The accident was triggered by Dean Thompson hitting Shel🌄don Cr😼eed while they battled for 15th position at Turn 4 on lap 74.
The co♚ntact left Thompson stranded on the track and left him vulꦯnerable to oncoming traffic.
While several drivers steered clear of the wreckage, Brennan Poole couldn’t spot the Haas Factory driver in time, slamming side-first into the #00 Ford after making a last-di🅷tch effort to grab the inside line.
The impact sent Poole several metres further up the road, with the entire right-side bodywork ripped off from the rest of the #🔯🔴44 Alpha Prime Chevrolet.
Given the scale of the 🧔incident, Creed and Poole were evaluated at the infield medical centre, but both were later released with no reported injuries.
They were eligible for Dash 4 Cash at Bristol, a programme that rewards Xfinity drivers financially for🥂 performing well during a select stret🀅ch of four races.

Part-time Xfinity Series driver Kyle Larson took the chequered flag in the #17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, clinching his 16th career win in NASCAR’s second-tier seri💫es.
Larson will also be in action in the Cup Series race✱ at Bristol on Sunday.
