Sheldon Creed and Joe Graf Jr. got the worst of a three-car wreck inside the final 25 laps, which severely destroyed the chances of Creed making a run at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs.

Sheldon Creed’s fantastic charge to make the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs has met a roadblock, after a late-race crash at Daytona International Speedway.

The accident happened when John Hunter Nemechek got hooked by Brandon Brown, sending John Hunter Nemechek down the track and into Sheldon Creed.

That wasn’t the end of the accident though, as Creed came back up the track and slammed into Joe Graf Jr. – who had nowhere to go – completely bending the No. 2 Chevrolet.

Creed, Graf, and Nemechek all retired from the event, earning finishes outside the top 35.
