Race car driver, Denny Hamlin crashed into a wall during a day of testing on Thursday at Kansas Speedway. The Associated Press reported that Hamlin said he felt dizzy after the crash in which he was going at 202 mph over "the repaved surface of the 1.5-mile tri-oval when he clipped the rear of his No. 11 Toyota on the wall entering Turn 1."
The AP reported that he got his car into the garage then NASCAR encouraged him to go to the care center to get checked out. At the care center he had a series of tests done on him before he was cleared to get back out there and race again.
He said to the AP, "It was the first time I really had some dizziness after a hit."
"Usually I'm sore or your jaw hurts from clenching your jaw. This is the first time I really got dizzy," he added.
In 2008 Hamlin got into an accident at Talladega which resulted in him having a mild conculsion.
Hamlin who is in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship said to the AP that this is the first time he can remember something like this happening to him.
"Obviously the severity of it, and the speeds we were running, it was a wise thing to do anyway," Hamlin said. "Just bell-rung, typical hard hit, ring-your-bell kind of thing. You get jarred around, you feel a little out of it at first. Everything came back Ok," he said to the AP.
