DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Austin Theriault won the season-opening ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, getting the victory after a harrowing late accident damaged part of the energy-absorbing wall.
The race was called with five laps remaining -- with Theriault sitting in his No. 52 Chevrolet on the high-banked track while under red flag conditions.
Justin Fontaine, meanwhile, was being transported to a hospital for evaluation. Fontaine's wild ride brought out the final red flag. He slammed into the outside wall, slid on his driver's side door, flipped and then came to a stop on his roof.
