2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series Las Vegas Big Crash — Big Las Vegas Crash. Screengrab from NBCSN race broadcast.

Three NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff contenders were left thinking, ‘What in the world?’ after a 13-car crash on lap 30 of Saturday’s Alsco Uniforms 302 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

On a restart, the field had bunched up five-wide heading into turn 1. Riley Herbst, who was in the top lane, received contact from Josh Berry, which sent him into Jeb Burton and it was all on from there.

Here is video of the wild crash:
