It could just be cosmetic but the front fenders could be rubbing on the tires. Or, its just the policy of the track.
Unless I can see the front, it really is no use to speculate but judging from the picture and what I can see of the bumper cover and headlight, the front end is ok and he took most of the force along and down the side.
The car was also rotating at the end of the incident. Notice the rubber on the rear end.
These cars are tougher than you think.
