Big wreck wipes out most of field in closing laps of Daytona 500
With nine laps to go in the 66th running of the Daytona 500, a massive wreck occurred at the front of the pack that involved a majority of the 30 lead-lap cars vying for the Harley J. Earl Trophy.
The incident began when Alex Bowman gave a stiff shove to his Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron. The push caused the No. 24 Chevrolet of Byron to get loose and spin into the No. 6 RFK Racing Ford of Brad Keselowski.
Keselowski’s car spun to the top of the track, crashing into fellow Ford teammates Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano.
Twenty-three cars were involved in the wreck, including 2021 Cup Series champion Kyle Larson, two-time Cup Series champ Joey Logano, 2017 champ Martin Truex Jr. and three-time Daytona 500 victor Denny Hamlin.
Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe were also among those involved in the Lap 191 incident but continued in the race.
