Video: Scenic NASCAR crash during Daytona 500

      Yesterday in America on the famous oval race track in Daytona started a new season of NASCAR. Races in this series is very rarely without accidents, but not all accidents look as picturesque as yesterday's incident, the victim of which was Ryan Preece, acting for the team RFK Racing on Ford Mustang. Five laps before the finish line, he was driving in the middle of the peloton, when far ahead of the incident occurred, causing a kind of chain reaction, and Preece's car caught the Toyota of Christopher Bell.

      After that Ford #60, at a great speed lost control, soared into the air, made a complex somersault, hit the track and barriers several times and finally landed on the wheels in a very bad condition. Fortunately, the rider was not injured, and rescuers and medics arrived to his wrecked car very quickly. After getting out of the car and commenting on what happened, he said that when it happened, he had time to think about his daughter Rebecca. "Yeah, I don't even know what causes it, maybe it's the diffuser, but these cars fly like a sheet of plywood on a windy day," said Preece after the incident. - When the car went airborne, it was kind of quiet and all I could think about was my daughter. In general, I was lucky that I was not hurt". On the video episode of the accident can be seen in detail, and it looks really frightening. By the way, when the driver talked about windy weather, it was not just an image - the weather in Daytona was really not the best, because of which the race was interrupted twice. And this is the second time in Ryan Preece's career when his car flew into the air on this oval in Florida, and the first one happened in 2023. "Something has to be done with these cars," he added. - As a father and as a racer, I want to say one thing: Right now, we just keep hoping it will get around, even though we know what the problem is with these types of ovals. I don't want to be an example of someone getting really hurt one day - I don't want that person to be me.
