The pace car largely avoided major damage save for a dent on the back right side of the car. The barrels were not so lucky. The race had to be stopped so track workers could put the barrels back in place and clean up the sand that had scattered all over the track at the entrance to pit road.

We have seen one NASCAR driver wreck and now the pace car has had a moment of its own! A bit of a hiccup early on in Phoenix. Whoever was driving the pace car is likely going to get their keys taken away after this.
