After the three hour rain delay, they started the race at 6:30 ET with tons of debris resulting in Denny Hamlin hitting the wall. A couple of laps later, teammate Casey Mears spun out taking Junior out, Reed Sorenson and Sam Hornish. Sam Hornish couldn't stop and ran into the back of Casey's car, flipped him over and Sam's car caught on fire. Thank god, they both got out fine.
Junior's right side is torn up to where you can see the roll cage inside the car. When they interviewed him, he was pissed off saying that the track is dirty and water is still seeping from the track[a problem they had all weekend long] and shouldn't have raced today. After some investigating, Casey must of hit a wet spot from the track, spun and the rest is history.
Right now, the race is red flagged. Cars are on pit road and they are cutting the track to get some of the water out.
