NASCAR Cup Series star Christopher Bell suffered a fractured wrist during his wreck at Michigan International Speedway, but he'll still be racing at Pocono this weekend.

Joe Gibbs Racing released an official statement confirming the news on Tuesday afternoon following the violent incident during Sunday's race.

The wreck occurred on lap 148 in stage three, with Bell and Chase Elliott racing side by side in second and third position, respectively.

However, as they went through turn three, Elliott's No. 9 got slightly out of shape before turning sharply right, making contact with Bell on the inside and sending the No. 20 violently into the SAFER barrier. Both cars suffered big damage, and the race had to be red-flagged so that extensive repairs could be carried out to the wall.

Both drivers were able to get out of their cars under their own power and were later evaluated and released from the infield care center. Post-race, though, Joe Gibbs confirmed that Bell would undergo further evaluation in North Carolina, the outcome of which has now been revealed.
