The car has damage around the passenger-side front fender and a pretty good "punch" right on the passenger-side rear corner. The hit on the rear caused the aluminum under the gas cap cutout to crease into a "V" shape. Rich said he considers the damage "light to moderate", but it appears it is all cosmetic. He is having the suspension crack-tested right now in CA and then will return the car home to begin straightening up the bodywork. More importantly, he appears to be fine other than being understandably bummed. He is a great guy and I'm glad he was not injured. Bad luck for all concerned. Smith started 19th and had worked up to 9th, with several laps to go and another pack of cars just ahead of him, when he lost the
oil line.
