DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The wife of NASCAR driver Brett Bodine was not seriously hurt after flipping her car and hitting a utility pole early Sunday morning.
Diane Bodine was "sore but OK'' after the accident, Brett Bodine Racing officials said.
"She's mad and upset because she lost her favorite car. Now it's pretty much junk,'' Bodine racing spokeswoman Carolyn Carrier said.
After the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night, the Bodines decided to wait for traffic to clear before going to their beachside condominium. They took separate cars, and Brett followed his wife, Carrier said.
Diane Bodine told police she swerved to avoid a small animal and lost control of her car, which hit a curb and crashed into a utility pole, knocking out power to 33 nearby homes.
Police said Bodine was not charged in the accident.
At the Pepsi 400, Brett Bodine was involved in a fiery crash with 16 laps to go and finished 38th in the 43-car field.
