Massive moment for Kaulig Racing’s Daniel Hemric, who was running seventh on lap 59 of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Sunoco Go Rewards 200 at Watkins Glen International.

In Turn 9, it appeared something broke on Hemric’s car, which caused his car to veer off course. The No. 11 car would go straight into the tire barrier. Hemric would make massive contact, and his car would get pinned under the barrier.

Here is video of the incident from the USA Network broadcast:

Big trouble for Daniel Hemric.
