Darin Weisinger Jr. is okay after a wild crash at the Castrol Gateway Dirt Nationals 2024

The wreck was unique as the Weisinger clipped the fence on the outside wall, sending his No. 11 super late model over, and outside, the race track. 

Weisinger was safe, but the car was nearly standing up on its nose. The crash came during Super Late Models heat 5 in the second night of action at The Dome.

The race is currently in delay as crews remove the debris and fix the fence, but there is plenty more racing to come this evening and tomorrow. 

Watch a replay of the crash below.
