Austin Dillon Exits Race After Overheating
4 years agoEarly on in Wednesday's Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500, the crush panel on Austin Dillon's No. 3 car was damaged. That caused his car to overheat inside, which ultimately forced Dillon to exit the race. Dillon's overheating issue required a visit to the infield care center and oxygen for the 30-year-old driver. Dillon should be able to suit up and race on Sunday when the Cup Series visits Homestead-Miami, but it's worth monitoring the situation, especially since the heat wouldn't be the only thing that might force Dillon from the car, as he's also awaiting the birth of his first child.
