It took until 28 to go to have “The Big One” in the ARCA Menards Series at Talladega, which collected a large chunk of the back half of the field.
The accident started when Toni Breidinger got turned around in the tri-oval for the second time in two days, this time by Richard Garvie – driving for Andy Hillenburg’s Fast Track Racing.
