Luckily, Kurt Busch and everyone else is okay after a scary crash with 12 laps to go in Stage 2 of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
In the front pack, Clint Bowyer clipped Jimmie Johnson in the trioval, which sent Johnson into the rear quarterpanel of Kurt Busch’s No. 1 car. This sent Busch head on into the wall, which sent him airborne. Busch’s car slammed back down on Cole Custer’s No. 41 car.
In all, 13 cars were involved in this horrendous looking crash. Again, luckily, everyone was okay after this incident.
