Bit of a scary moment at Talladega on Sunday afternoon, as the tire handler for Carson Hocevar took a pretty hard hit from the incoming car of Josh Berry. Hocevar’s car was canted out onto pit road, and when Berry came through, well, a touch of chaos ensued.

The tire carrier, Jarius Morehead, said in a brief television interview afterward that he was fine after the hit. Morehead played college football at N.C. State. Here’s him in a more favorable moment:
PICK.

As a safety, Morehead surely made a few hard tackles … though none as hard as getting hit by a car. Fortunately, all is well; that’s why pit road speed limits exist.
