Video: 14-Car Edition of The Big One Erupts at Atlanta After Reddick Tire

The big one atlanta — A 14-car big one erupted on lap 145 in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta when Tyler Reddick cut a tire and spun from third spot.

Tyler Reddick has had a fast car in just about every race this season, and he has had atrocious luck all season long. The trend continued in Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway as he cut a right rear tire while running third on lap 145.

This sent Reddick spinning into Kurt Busch and a massive group of cars, that had nowhere else to go piled into the crash.
