Ryan Preece, who had that scary, multiple barrel-roll flip at Daytona a few years ago, just had another airborne crash at Daytona. He is alright.

Yeah, i saw it live, it shows it's not an issue with the tracks, it's the cars.

NASCARs have been taking flight at Daytona, and other tracks, since Bill France Jr was in short pants.

They were doing it before the restrictor plate was brought in, and they've done it in every generation of NASCAR since.

It will continue to happen so long as there is an opportunity for air to get under the car, when that car is not travelling in the desired direction.

It is not rocket science. It is aerodynamics and physics doing what they do.

He's actually lucky the car tipped over before landing on the banking. If he hit the banking with the underside of the car, would've been truly awful for him.
