Video: Austin Cindric, Daniel Hemric Critically Damaged in Multi-Car Accident on Stage Two Restart

With a mixture of cars on sticker tires and cars on older tires, things are always bound to get crazy, especially when your running on a track with as many usable lanes as Michigan International Speedway does. Unfortunately, a multi-car accident on the restart in stage two will end the day of multiple contenders, including Austin Cindric and Daniel Hemric.

The accident started when Brandon Brown’s No. 68 made slight contact with Justin Allgaier, causing him to let off the gas and slide into the path of Bubba Wallace, causing a monumental stackup. From there, Maytt Snider broke loose, sliding across the nose of Austin Cindric and collecting the cars to his outside, which subsequently sent cars spinning everywhere.
