BRISTOL, Tenn. — Following his eighth-place finish in Thursday’s Bush’s Beans 150 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Chase Cabre was transferred to a local hospital for further evaluation after experiencing lower back pain.

Cabre was assisted by medical staff upon exiting his car on pit road post-race and was taken to the infield care center for x-rays, according to the team. He had enough energy, though, to show his displeasure to GMS Racing crew chief Mardy Lindley after what happened to Cabre on the opening lap.

That contact caused Cabre’s back pain, which worsened throughout the 150-lap event, per the team. He was able to rebound for a top 10 finish, his eighth of nine races this season.

Cabre is a two-time K&N Pro Series East winner this season and a member of the 2019 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Class. In his third season with Rev Racing, Cabre has enjoyed his best career season to date (average finish fo 5.1) and sits second in the championship standings.

UPDATE: Cabre tweeted his release from the hospital late Thursday night.

Rev Racing provided the following statement to NASCAR Home Tracks: “Chase Cabre was released from the hospital with no fracture. He will continue to receive treatment regarding a diagnosed muscle spasm.”
