The largest crash in NASCAR Cup Series history happened Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway and collected seven championship contenders in the process.
Austin Cindric was leading the YellaWood 500 off Turn 2 when an accordion effect down the backstretch ended with his bumper being tagged by Brad Keselowski. Cindric, the leader of the inside lane, bounced off Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who was leading the outside lane, from the initial contact and then spun in front of the field.
NASCAR listed a total of 27 cars involved in the crash, which is the most all-time in the Cup Series. It resulted in a red flag of nearly nine minutes.
