CJ McLaughlin Xfinity Crash Daytona 2022 — CJ McLaughlin got loose and spun in front of the field with 30 laps to go in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity race at Daytona, causing a nine-car crash. Screengrab from FS1 broadcast.

With 30 laps left of Saturday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. 300 at Daytona International Speedway, CJ McLaughlin got loose and looked to be heading for a spin to the inside of the track. However, McLaughlin attempted to save the car and overcorrected, which sent his No. 38 machine careening back into the field.

As McLaughlin slammed into the pack, nine cars total were ensnarled in the crash.
