Sunday’s Daytona car wreck is something that fans and maybe Chris Buescher will never forget. With a delay in caution for rain, more than ten cars were collected together, leaving many drivers with injuries.
As soon as the drivers entered the third round, rain began pouring. Daniel Suarez, Denny Hamlin, and Justin Haley were leading. When the drivers hit the wet track, their vehicles spun. This sent the other cars behind them off-track.
