Logano told reporters:

“All of us took a hard hit. Something broke on the car – I don’t know what it was. I noticed it going in (to the turn) and tried to back off but you’re going 215 (mph). I took a hard left. I just hope everyone is OK. I hooked Danica. I haven’t seen the replay (until now). don’t know what happened. The right-front popped and I took a hard left. I hope Aric is alright. That’s the last thing you want to see is a big hit like that for anyone.
“It came out of nowhere. Everything was fine and I just took a hard one. I’m praying for Aric right now. I hate to to be the part that started it but there was nothing I could have done. Something broke and we tore up a lot of cars.”

We’ll update this post as news on Almirola’s condition breaks.
