A Richard Childress Racing tire specialist was examined at the infield care center after a tire exploded on pit road shortly after being pulled from Paul Menard’s car.
Menard had just spun to bring out a caution on the track on Lap 144, sliding across the track.
Here's why we're under our 5th caution of the night. #TheChase https://t.co/WGUTVTl59o
