So, yeah this totally happened.
A sixteen car crash managed to throw the Coke Zero 400 into disarray as plenty of favorites to win the race were involved.
#NASCAR confirms that 16 drivers were involved in the crash: 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21, 24, 42, 47, 48, 66, 88, 99

For those that don’t follow NASCAR religiously (*raises hand) here are some names that were involved in the crash that you may have seen in some TV ads or something: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick. The race is now ripe for an upset, so for those of you who like watching NASCAR underdogs more than Lord of the Rings re-runs, now is the time.
