Jeffrey Earnhardt, Caesar Bacarella take massive hits in huge wreck late at Daytona

Another huge wreck late at Daytona. This time with six laps to go, Jeffrey Earnhardt lost control on the apron and got into Anthony Alfredo. From there, cars were collected and a few NASCAR drivers took hard hits.

Caesar Bacarella was among the drivers who got into the wall hard. Alfredo and Earnhardt took a good lick. It was once again, a lot of ripped-up sheet metal and fluids all over the place.

The red flag is out at Daytona while the safety crew cleans up fluids and debris. There is going to be an overtime restart to finish this race and that means we could have multiple overtimes.

AJ Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier and Ryan Truex are hoping to get racing again. They have been strong in this race and are looking to close things out with a win if possible. Truex has been very impressive and is going to try to do something his brother hasn’t been able to do – win at Daytona.

Jeffrey Earnhardt was involved in a couple of incidents today. He was running in the top-10 late in this race but wasn’t able to bring it home in the end.

This race is likely to get even more wild before we get a finish. But it’d be nice to see a clean restart and charge for the finish line from this field. It’s been a competitive race tonight and there isn’t much more to go until we crown a winner.

Jeffrey Earnhardt involved in Lap 1 wreck

On Lap 1 tonight, Jeffrey Earnhardt got into Jeremy Clements and before you knew it, multiple cars were caught up. There was too much aggression on the opening start. Drivers were getting too intense, trying to put other cars middle and abandon them in the draft.

Jeffrey Earnhardt got into Jeremy Clements a bit too much and that was all she wrote. Clements wrecks, Austin Hill caught up, Gus Dean reacted and created a mess even behind the original incident.

Soon after the incident, Earnhardt was on his radio apologizing to all involved. That’s not going to save anyone’s cars, though.

The contact from Earnhardt to Clements was enough to make the caution flag come out. When Gus Dean checked up, it caused a huge mess in the back of the field. Austin Hill, who dropped from the front row to the rear of the field before the race, was involved but is racing with damage.
