Indy was one of the most chaotic races NASCAR has witnessed this season with multiple wrecks. Ty Dillon was among the drivers who didn’t survive the wreck after he was involved in the biggest wreck of the day. The wreck happened in the final stages of the race with 22 laps to go when Kyle Larson wrecked Dillon from behind. The latter was heading to Turn 1, a black spot, and before he could enter, Larson’s #5 Camaro seemed to have break issues, and it came flying, landing heavily on the #42 Chevy. Both cars incurred serious damage and both ended up DNFing.

He said: “I didn’t see a whole lot. I saw a blue flash and I’ve never been hit so hard in my life. I’m grateful the good Lord was looking out for me, and these cars are so safe.” Despite the major crash, the two drivers managed to climb out of their cars unhurt and headed to the infield care facility, where they were attended to and later released. According to Larson’s team, the issue might have been caused by overheated brake fluid, which caused the brakes to fail temporarily. The disappointing finish at Indy marked Dillon's second full month of struggles and disheartening results. The best result he has recorded in the past two months is a P20 finish at Road America, which took place in the month of July.
