Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Danica Patrick and others were involved in a major crash in lap 129 at the Daytona 500 on February 26.
The wreck involved 16 cars in the Daytona 500 field, and Harvick was able to repair the damage and continue the race. Johnson, Patrick, Clint Bowyer, D.J. Kennington and Chris Buescher weren’t so lucky, as all were eliminated from the race with just 67 laps to go.
Heavy damage to the the 48 car! Glad to see @JimmieJohnson is ok. #garagepass #nascar #Daytona500
The crash brought the fifth caution flag of the day at Daytona. 2016 Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and 2015 winner Joey Logano were among those other drivers involved in the wreck, but they continued the race.
Here is a view of the scary situation from the inside of Johnson’s car.
