Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C. is no stranger to wrecks.

In fact, the track has even embraced its nickname “The Madhouse.”

But just how mad can it get?

While it isn’t unusual to see a punch-up or an unscheduled demolition derby at the quarter-mile long circuit, this incident back in August really took the cake.

The crash took place on a late restart when the No. 7 of Dylan Ward got into the back of the race-leading No. 81 of Zack Clifton, turning Clifton sideways across the track. The drivers behind had nowhere to go and thus all plowed into another.

Things got scary when the No. 07 of Kevin Neal was pushed up into the air by the No. 0 of Michael Adams, whose roof was dislodged in the incident.

Clifton showed Ward his displeasure by jumping on the hood of the No. 7 car, but Ward’s car was already a bit beat up anyway.

Fortunately, all of the drivers were able to race another day.
