Chase Cabre was transported to a local hospital following Thursday evening’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Bristol Motor Speedway, according to NASCAR HomeTracks.

Following the race, Cabre, who is a member of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Class of 2019, was able to exit his No. 4 Rev Racing Toyota under his own power, but immediately received medical attention for lower back pain. Cabre was then placed onto a stretcher and carted to the infield care center.

Cabre held the lead at the start when eventual race winner Sam Mayer got into the back of his car at the entrance of Turn 3 on Lap 1, sending him spinning into the outside retaining wall. The 22-year-old completed the 150-lap event, finishing eighth.
