In what was a shocking sequence of events, the Roush Fenway Racing driver went from winning the Daytona 500 to crashing out of it. In the last stretch of the race, Blaney’s attempt to cut inside and pass Newman did not work.

Ultimately, Newman’s car collided into the sidewall and, due to the sheer force of impact, went hurtling across the track. Thankfully, his condition improved after a few days, and he even returned to racing in a few weeks’ time after the incident.

3) Cheating incidents in the history of NASCAR

A montage brought to us by the channel ‘FivePoints Vids’ briefly talked about the various reported incidents of cheating in NASCAR history.
