Gaines' Dodge Dart went out of control and crashed near the finish line.
Gaines, who exited the car under his own power, was examined and released at the scene by NHRA emergency services officials.
"It happened so fast, I was unable to catch it," Gaines said. "I'm justy sick that we ruined a very good race car. We'll come back and rebound."
Around 3 p.m., about an hour into the cleanup and investigation following V. Gaines' accident, rain began falling.
The rest of today's racing has been postponed.
