Christopher Bell was transferred to a local hospital for further evaluation.
A violent crash that saw Christopher Bell barrel roll a minimum of 10 times marred the finish of the Camping World Truck Series season-opener Friday night at Daytona International Speedway.
The field had taken the white flag lap when a multi-truck accident broke out just past the start/finish line. Among those collected was Bell, whose truck went nose-first into the outside wall and then began flipping wildly.
Bell was transferred to a local medical facility for further evaluation, per a NASCAR spokesman. All other drivers involved were evaluated and released from the at-track care center.
Johnny Sauter was leading at the time of the caution, and because there were fewer than two laps remaining the NextEra Energy Resources 250 was considered an official race. The win was the 11th of Sauter's career and came in his first start with GMS Racing.
Ryan Truex finished second, with Parker Kligerman third, Brandon Brown fourth and Travis Kvapil fifth.
Eight laps before the final wreck of the evening, an 18-truck accident necessitated a red flag of nearly 28 minutes.
