NASCAR’s Corey Day Sends Ty Gibbs Flipping Into Fence In High Limit Opener

Just a few days before he is scheduled to jump into his Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Toyota Camry XSE to race in the NASCAR Cup Series at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ty Gibbs was forced to crawl out of his upside-down 410 winged sprint car after flipping into the catch fence in the Thursday night heats of the High Limit season opener.

He was running in a heat race which led to the contact with Corey Day, another stock car driver competing this weekend in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts series.

Gibbs got out of the flipped sprint car seemingly unharmed, “I’m fine, I think Corey just got super loose in the slick there… We’re good, unfortunate but we’ll come back up tomorrow and go get ’em.”

The driver and his team, Chad Boat Industries, will return to the track on Friday night as they look to continue growing their status in the dirt.

It was Kyle Larson who took the feature win later Thursday night, securing the top spot despite some early struggles.
