Again, the racing restriction plate in Daytona has resulted in many large wrecks, and for the second time, Ryan Preece’s car has become airborne.
Preece survived a terrifying accident in Daytona two years ago when his car turned violently. He led to the removal of the grassy area from the interior field of the track.
Last Sunday, Preece’s car seemed to make a “Wheelie” before turning into the outside wall and stopping in the inner field.
Fortunately, Preece was able to get out of her racing car destroyed without apparent injuries.
But after the race, it was quick to emphasize that something should be done by Nascar to prevent cars from getting into the air.
The hooded shutters which are supposed to prevent a car from returning do not deploy until the precede car rolls up.
During overtime, several cars crashed behind the leaders. Nascar officials decided not to light the lights of prudence, allowing managers to come back to the finish.
William Byron won for the second consecutive year, followed by Tyler Reddick and the seven times Jimmie Johnson champion, who managed to miss carnage.
