Donovan Williams, tire carrier for Daniel Suárez’s No. 7 Cup team, stepped in front of a runaway pit box at Dover and prevented it from hitting Fox reporter Amanda Busick.
The box broke loose while Spire Motorsports crews were moving equipment into position before Friday night’s Craftsman Truck Series ECOSAVE 200, sending people scrambling near pit wall.
Williams was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and released overnight, but the incident ruled him out of the pit stop challenge during All-Star weekend festivities.
Busick thanked Williams on X on Saturday, while the episode underscored how quickly routine pit setup can turn dangerous even before racing begins.
