Somehow, Dixon was able to walk away from this unscathed and gave a poised interview after the crash, crediting safety protocols for his health.
Dixon’s car was absolutely destroyed.
It flew into a fence and it took more than a few minutes for crews to clear the wreckage and repair the fence.
The red flag was up for 19 minutes.
