Biggest crash in NASCAR history.

Submitted by Rich Fowler on August 11, 2009 – 10:08 AMOne Comment

In 1960 a sportsman race at the Daytona Speedway went down in history as the race that featured “the most fantastic pile up in auto racing history”.

From a field of 68 starters, 37 cars were wrecked in the turn four crash.

Amazingly no one was seriously injured, which led the commentator to say this about early NASCAR safety “Roll bars, crash helmets and lady luck saved lives this afternoon.”
