Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race got off to a dramatic start. Exiting Turn 1, Corey Day was running 13th when he got sideways.<\/p>\n
He spun down the track, crossing paths with Jesse Love<\/a>, who slammed into the side of him. Day’s car continued to spin down into the inside wall, destroying his No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.<\/p>\n Love’s No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet suffered significant nose damage, and was also unable to continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n “Just really free there, Turn 1,” said Day outside the infield care center. “It’s always a variable, what your car is going to do Lap 1, but I just didn’t expect that at all. Top lane cleared up, I moved up, and as soon as I did and went to to load the right rear, it just started coming around on me. Just hate it for my No. 17 team — they deserved a lot better than that today. Just hate that it ended the way it did.”<\/p>\n Love was also checked and released from the infield care center soon after.<\/p>\n “From my vantage point, in the driver seat, I had two guys blocking my view of Corey,” said Love. “I just didn’t seen him (indecipherable) … just frustrating. Out Camaro was going to be pretty good today. Practice went well, and then learned some stuff after qualifying. I only got one lap to feel it out, but I was happy with that one corner. Wish we got to have a couple more.”<\/p>\n Entering this race, Love was second in the championship standings, and Day was third, both well behind current championship leader Justin Allgaier<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both drivers will each leave Pocono with just a single point, for a race that lasted a total of one whole corner. Next stop, a total unknown in San Diego, CA for the new street course at Naval Base Coronado.<\/p>\n Read Also:<\/p>\n We want your opinion!<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n
