Overview

• On Lap 74, Hill’s outside pass attempt on Michael McDowell at the carousel hooked McDowell’s rear quarter and sent him into the guardrail, igniting a chain-reaction crash
• McDowell’s car became airborne upon impact and shed its right front tire, which flew across the track and damaged William Sawalich’s vehicle
• The incident unfolded with eight laps remaining and halted the race under a red flag as crews spent over 45 minutes replacing guardrail sections
• All drivers involved were evaluated at the infield care center and released without serious injuries
• Hill, who returned from a one-week suspension, admitted the move was driver error and said he should have lifted instead of forcing the pass
