The race started off pretty crazy with a crash on the second lap that knocked out a bunch of cars, and later a wheel went flying off of a car on pit road. (Sorry I missed whose car it was because I had just tuned in).
But just now, Juan Pablo Montoya's car spun out and crashed into a jet drying truck. A jet drying truck is a truck they use to dry the track. And the word "jet" is because they use a gigantic jet engine to force air onto the track. And jet engines run on... JET FUEL.
So when Juan Pablo Montonya's car crashed into the jet drying truck, it turned into a fireball and splashed jet fuel all over the track, bringing the race to a standstill.

Crazy!
Here's a video of it from YouTube:
So glad to see that everyone walked away from the crash okay. There are a lot of safety devices at play in the NASCAR sport and this is the reason why!!!
Boyd Autobody & Glass loves to see good drivers who drive safely AND who walk away from collisions.
