Nearing the end of the second stage of Saturday’s Ag-Pro 300 a wild crash took place.
Xfinity Series driver Blaine Perkins flipped six times while Dexter Stacey hit the infield wall. Both drivers were reported to be ok.

Amazingly Perkins was able to climb out of his car but was transported to an area medical center for further medial evaluation out of an abundance of caution. Stacey was evaluated at the infield care center and released.

Footage of Perkin’s No. 02 car after the crash shows much of the front and back either missing or wildly out of place.
