Days remain before the highly anticipated Daytona 500 and NASCAR’s first weekend of the 2024 season. It was Hacker’s season-long absence from Daytona racing. But he was on his way to Daytona to work as a mechanic for Joey Gase Motorsports, an Xfinity team.
An update shared via his X (formerly Twitter) account said, “Yesterday afternoon, on his way to Daytona, Chris was involved in a serious car accident. A semi-truck crossed the center line and hit Chris’s Mustang head on.”
“Chris was transported to Prisma Health Medical Center in Columbia, South Carolina where he underwent emergency surgery. Although a CT scan showed numerous injuries, he’s now in stable condition and is expected to have a full recovery.”
