NASCAR race stopped after massive 26-car crash brings out red flag
A massive wreck at the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Speedway last weekend led to a red flag and nearly broke a record for the series. Carson Hocevar, at 23 years old, secured his first Cup Series win during the Jack Link’s 500 event, elevating him to eighth place in the overall standings. The race was overshadowed by a major incident on lap 115, involving at least 26 cars and resulting in chaos at the front of the field. Despite the impactful crash, all drivers involved were confirmed to be safe and were evaluated at the infield care centre. While the race was briefly paused under red flag conditions for car removal and repairs, it is believed to have just fallen short of the record for the most cars involved in a single wreck in NASCAR history.
