According to Brian Williams, super spy photographer<\/a>, it appears that the car ran into the side of the track and crushed up its left side. Everything in between the tail light and headlamp is smashed. The black car has a completely smashed front left corner, which implies that the crash was quite forceful.

The car is a little bit banged up, but other than that, everything is fine.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
