Austin Hubbard of Seaford, Del., was among the early retirees in the main event after a first-lap accident. The wreck drew a red flag when he made hard contact with infield tire barriers, severely damaging the right side of his No. 11. He was able to climb out of the car, but taken the hospital to be checked out. He had a concussion and other bumps and bruises and stayed overnight before being released early Sunday morning.
