It took just 14 laps for cars to be sent off the track during the Daytona 500, which opened the 2021 Nascar Cup Series.
Well it didn't take long for the 201 NASCAR season to begin with a bang, as a large crash took out multiple cars just 14 laps into the Daytona 500.
Christopher Bell went to push Aric Almirola’s No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford, but with the cars not properly aligned, the nudge ultimately sent the latter spinning out of control. He wasn't alone as in total, 16 cars were taken out of contention including pole-sitter Alex Bowman.
Have a look at the wreck below.
