Tyler Reddick knew coming into Saturday’s NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway that he needed to win the race if he wanted to make it into the Playoffs during his rookie season.
With nine laps to go, Reddick got a huge push from Erik Jones, while running second. Reddick decided to pull out from behind leader Kyle Busch and made a move for the lead.
Reddick attempted to slide up in front of Busch in the turn, but he slapped the wall and triggered a huge crash behind him.
When all of the chaos came to an end, 10 cars had been crashed.
Here is the crash as it happened live:
The Big One DOES HAPPEN!
