4. Kyle Larson 2013 Daytona
In 2013, when Kyle Larson was named Rookie of the Year, survived an awful crash at Daytona. After an incident with Brad Keselowski, Larson’s car had its engine and rear ripped off due to the impact from the wall. Fortunately, he did not sustain major injuries and got out of the car.
Veteran racer Ryan Newman had many crashes previously and the 2020 Daytona crash was certainly the most dangerous one. He took 15 minutes to get out of the car and spent almost 2 weeks at the hospital.
