While running the 53rd lap of 200, driver, Scott Dixon's car was ripped off in a crash when fellow driver, Jay Howard bumped into him.
Howard lost control during the first turn and hit a wall, then slid down the track, straight into Dixon. Dixon's car went airborne and landed on the inside safe barrier but not without ripping apart the rear end of his racecar.
