Carnage commences with Big One on Lap 15 of XFINITY race
It didn’t take long for the carnage to start in the Firecrackers 250 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
On Lap 15 of the 100-lap race, the Big One occurred. It began at the front of the field at the exit of Turn 2. Brennan Poole was bump drafting when he made too-hard contact with Bubba Wallace, who lost control and veered from the outside lane back across the track.
And from there, it was on, as a bunch of fast cars got taken out or heavily damaged, including Wallace’s Roush Fenway Racing Ford, the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas of Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones and Austin Dillon’s Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.
All told, 14 cars were involved.
“A little too exciting for how early we are for right now in the race,” said Austin’s brother, Ty.
The wreck brought out a brief red flag.
