On lap 97 of Monday’s NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Alex Bowman was sent hard into the outside wall when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. received a bump from Chase Elliott. The bump draft from Elliott sent Stenhouse into the back of Bowman, which disturbed Bowman’s car sending him into the outside wall hard.
Here is video of the 12-car crash on lap 97:
