You could feel the frustration for Brad Keselowski in his post-race interview. He wanted to win the Daytona 500, he was in position to do just that on the final lap of the race. Then, in an instant, he was sent flying into the catchfence, which erupted his car into a ball of flames.
However, video has now surfaced of Keselowski climbing from his car after his Daytona 500 crash, and if you didn’t understand his level of frustration before, you will after watching it. Keselowski heaved his helmet at the side of his No. 2 Ford Mustang after climbing from the carnage.
The shot of Keselowski throwing his helmet will be iconic for years to come. I was at the track, I’m not sure how many people saw this on TV live. https://t.co/utAjnTUufC pic.twitter.com/UpAKvo1103

Keselowski, one of the best superspeedway racers in the sport, has been trying for 12 years to win the sport’s biggest race. He’ll now have to wait to try for a 13th time to win the Daytona 500 in 2022.
