This is the terrifying moment a huge NASCAR crash took place as drivers crossed the finish line in yesterday's race in Daytona – with one vehicle flipping across the track before being ripped apart after hitting the catchfence.
While there were fears that driver Austin Dillon had been seriously injured in the spectacular wreck in the closing moments of the Coke Zero 400 race, he managed to climb out of the mangled remains of his car and wave at the crowd.
He was then taken to an ambulance where miraculously it was revealed he had only suffered a bruised arm and tailbone despite the force of the impact, which left the fence in tatters.
Three people in the crowd also had to be treated for minor injuries after debris managed to clear the safety barriers, though luckily there were no serious injuries.
The accident began in the final moments of the event, which had been delayed by three and a half hours due to rain, with a second round of qualifying on Saturday also cancelled due to the weather.
As the racers jockeyed for position behind leader Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kevin Harvick made slight contact with Denny Hamlin on the inside of the track, causing his car to spin.
