NASCAR fan hit in face by brake rotor at Nashville race

Summary

Cash Jordan, a 10-year-old NASCAR fan, was struck in the chin by a piece of Ross Chastain's brake rotor during the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on May 31. Medics treated him on-site, stitching up his chin and allowing him to return to the race. Cash's encounter with the rotor was a twist of fate; his family has faced challenges after the passing of his mother, Shelby, in 2019. Cash and his grandfather, Dennis Jordan, have since been involved in raising awareness about addiction through the Shelby Jordan Foundation. Ross Chastain's team has reached out to the family, offering a care package.
