Video: Justin Haley Becomes Astronaut, Launches in Air in Bus Stop at Daytona Road Course

It was a rough lap 13 for Kaulig Racing in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series UNOH 188 at the Daytona International Speedway.

Ross Chastain suffered a transmission issue and slowed, while Justin Haley missed the bus stop and was launched into the air after hitting the curbing and mud/grass in the corners. This absolutely ripped apart the front-end of Haley’s No. 11 Chevrolet.

LIFTOFF for @Justin_Haley_! ?

To add insult to injury, the team’s third car driven by AJ Allmendinger was busted for pitting outside the box on their pit stop during this caution, which sent them to the rear of the field as well.
