Whenever the Monster Energy NASCAR Cups Series races at the fast and treacherous Talladega Superspeedway, The Big One is always a concern. And Sunday’s GEICO 500 was no exception.
With just 20 laps left in the race, AJ Allmendinger got into the back of second-place Chase Elliott as the two were trying to get to the front and pass leader Kyle Busch.
The contact, which occurred on the backstretch, lifted Elliott’s car up in the air, and Allmendinger’s flipped on its hood.
The end result was about 15 cars getting caught up in the incident, including Austin Dillon, Trevor Bayne, Danica Patrick, Matt Kenseth, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and others.
