Frightening moment NASCAR flips after multi-car wreck

Driver Kyle Larson was fortunate to walk away from a huge multi-car wreck on the final lap at Talladega after his car was sent flipping through the air.

Larson took the white flag in the middle of the pack at Talladega, a place where chaos normally ensues as the checkered flag nears.

The 26-year-old racer found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time exiting Turn 2, getting hit by the spinning No. 24 machine of William Byron.

He collided with Jeffrey Earnhardt and both were sent careening across the track.

His right wheel then lifted up as he approached the wall.

While Earnhardt impacted the wall nose-first, Larson’s car lifted off the ground and ended up rolling end over end.

“Initially, I just thought I was going to hit the inside wall pretty good and then right before I got to it, I felt it lift and was just hoping it would set down, but it just started tumbling,” Larson told FOX.

“That was probably the longest flip I’ve ever had.

“I just didn’t know if it was ever going to stop. I knew it was flipping and was just hoping I wouldn’t get any closer to the catch fence so yeah, it was just a little bit scary. But thankfully I’m alright so thanks to the fab shop at Chip Ganassi Racing for building safe race cars. Like I said, it was scary. Just thankful that I’m okay. “

NASCAR spokesperson Tom Bryant told NBCSports.com that the crash would be analyzed to “determine all the factors that led to it.”

Larson has now crashed in three of his last four races, which puts him 19th in the Championship.
