NASCAR's top drivers are turning into an angry mob now due to the issues and problems in the next-gen cars. Many of the drivers have faced severe accidents already due to this. With that being said, let's take a look at the worst crashes of 2022.
In late July, Kurt Busch crashed off turn three at Pocono Raceway. He backed his No. 45 car into the fence and he’s been absent from the machine ever since due to a concussion.
Last week at the Texas Motor Speedway, Alex Bowman was involved in a crash on Lap 98 of 334 when his #48 car blew a right rear tire through Turns 3 and 4, hitting the wall with the rear end of his car. He was, however, able to complete the race and finished in 29th place.
Jordan Anderson was airlifted to a local Birmingham hospital after being involved in a scary accident at Talladega Superspeedway where his truck burst into flames, and then hit the wall as he was trying to exit the truck.
NASCAR Cup Series driver Cody Ware survived a serious injury after a hard crash at Texas Motor Speedway at the Autotrader Ecopark Automotive 500. Ware lost control of his car, hit the outside wall hard on lap 168, then went across the track and hit the pit road wall.
Elliott went into the outside wall, and his car’s left front wheel area burst into flames as he skidded across the frontstretch at the Autotrader EchoPark 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in September 2022.
