Qualifying for Friday night’s NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series World of Westgate 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway proved to be treacherous.
Tyler Hill, who is driving his family-owned No. 56 truck this weekend, got loose and spun his truck coming off of turn four. Hill would spin through the infield grass, which would catch the front-end of his race truck and obliterated the machine.

Moments after Hill crashed his truck, Jesse Iwuji had an incident coming off of turn four as well. Iwuji’s crash was much more severe. The No. 34 truck slammed into the pit road wall hard, ripping the front end off of Iwuji’s race truck.

Luckily, Iwuji and everyone on the other side of the pit road wall were okay following the crash.
