Dillon's car landed upside down, and track workers and crew members from various teams quickly arrived on the scene. The 25-year-old emerged uninjured and raised his hands to the crowd. However, three fans were being treated for unspecified injuries, according to NBC Sports.
The view from the other side of the fence was terrifying.
Dillon seemed to be okay, despite a lot of damage on the track.
