The 65th Daytona 500 was nothing less than wild. With seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson making his return and Ricky Stenhouse Jr winning the longest race in history—it had it all. However, not all drivers had a good day on the track. Primarily because of the series of wrecks and crashes that destroyed almost half the field.

While getting into turn 3, Bubba Wallace slammed into the wall after being bumped by Martin Truex Jr. During that time, Wallace was leading the race, however, when Denny Hamlin drafted Truex Jr, Wallace, unfortunately, got collected in a wreck.

Furthermore, on turn 4, Tyler Reddick got turned by a push from Stewart Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick. And sadly, this incident triggered a chain reaction that collected Ross Chastain, Kyle Larson, Erik Jones, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, and Daniel Suarez among others.

Teams share health updates of their respective drivers

After last year’s concussion incidents, fans across the country were concerned about the health of the drivers due to the intensity of the crashes.

To relieve the fans of their worries, the respective teams shared health updates of the drivers on their official Twitter handles. 23XI Racing, Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, and Legacy Motor Club are among the teams that posted on Twitter.

Tyler Reddick on the NASCAR Daytona 500 crash

The first half of the Daytona 500 was pretty clean. However, soon, a series of unfortunate incidents ended the race for a few drivers, including 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick.

As reported by Motorsports.com, after being released from the infield care center, Reddick told the media,

“Down the back when he (Harvick) got to my rear bumper it just didn’t really seem – when I had clean air there – that my car was really stable. I thought it moves around a little bit down the back, I’ve had this before, but yeah, I was kind of caught off guard by what happened in the corner.

“Unfortunately, it was the first time I’ve been put in that situation, I got loose and unfortunately took out some other good cars.”

Although Reddick did try to carry on with the race, unfortunately, his car couldn’t find the stability it needed. And thus, the crash ended Reddick’s day at Daytona, leading to him getting a 39th-position finish.
