Harrowing footage shows the moment a racecar carrying NASCAR driver Ryan Preece was struck and flipped ten times during the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night.
Preece, driving the No. 41 car, got tangled up with another driver, Chase Briscoe, sending Preece’s car careening off the track before going airborne. The vehicle then toppled over itself multiple times before finally settling down upright with a massive bang.
Thanks to the extensive safety measures on racecars, Preece managed to climb out of the vehicle. He was quickly attended to by medical staff, who cleared him of any serious injuries, though he was transported to a hospital for evaluation.
Preece was released from the hospital on Sunday.

😮 wow

I man come on, Did Ryan Preece really have to ‘flip out’ like that?!
Does Hagomel even cover this 🙈
Looks like regular day of traffic in Lakewood to me 🙄
Did that happen in Lakewood???
One minute you’re barreling down an oil-slicked racetrack at 200 mph and the next you’re mangled beyond recognition. Really makes you think.
I think it’s way cheaper to just jump off a bridge.
Where is the police for the speeding ticket.
Before he left home did he say “Honey, I’m just popping out for a spin”?
