The way he began spinning, almost like he locked them up, but the sparks sure makes it look like something broke underneath.

Heard the driver of the jet dryer is on his way to a local hospital, saw him walk away, hope he's OK.

That was the craziest for sure.

But when you look at the replay here, looks more like he was speeding to catch up and locked them up heading into the turn where the dryer was.  Hard to tell, with them working underneath his car in the pit a minute before seems logical something broke.

I've been a race fan for over 20 yrs..... Crazy is a understatement for sure. I bet the track is fried and they will have to call the race. Bondo the track??

I'd say yes, bondo, if it wasn't already 10:30pm eastern time.  Too late for the east coast, I think they will call this one as is if there's damage.

Something definitely broke.  Between the sparks and the way he slid up the track, something underneath snapped.
