The No. 5 Toyota, driven by Mike Skinner, got loose after being run down into the grass through the tri-oval at Lowe's Motor Speedway. As he tried to save it the truck slid up the racetrack and slammed into the outside wall at the exact moment that T.J. Bell in the No. 11 hit him from behind and sent the No. 5 airborne.
After a few tense moments, with even the NASCAR officials saying, "just get outof the truck," Skinner signaled to the crowd that he was okay.
He and Bell were both taken to the infield care center, where they were evaluated and then released.
Currently, we are halfway through the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 and Kyle Busch is working his way back through the field after sustaining ancillary damages from Skinner and Bell's crash.
Collin Braun is leading the race and holding off the No. 33 driven by Ron Hornaday Jr.
