Eric McClure, driver of the No. 14 Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® Toyota, will remain hospitalized overnight for further observation at UAB Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama.
The team will release updates as they occur.
The Washington Post also reported that Eric’s wife, Miranda, posted on Facebook that the family is “so thankful that he survived. It is nothing short of a miracle that he was not hurt more than he is.”
No other details are available at this time.
Video of McClure hitting the wall in real time. Note how close he came to not hitting the SAFER Barrier (approx 30-40 ft - which seems a lot, but when you’re traveling at about 180 mph that is a very short distance)
