DAYTONA BEACH, Florida: A horrific multi-car crash saw Kyle Larson's car launched into the air and then broken into pieces in the catch-fencing Saturday in the waning moments of the NASCAR Nationwide Series season-opener.
The wreck, which occurred almost as Tony Stewart was taking the chequered flag for victory, appeared to begin when Regan Smith was turned sideways and took several competitors behind him in a pack. Larson, making his first start in the NASCAR's second-tier series, then sailed into the catch-fencing.
