With just only a couple of laps to go in Stage 2 of the NASCAR All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway, the JGR driver Kyle Busch was leading (all 47 laps) when he lost a rear tire.
Kyle Busch loose tire enabled the rest of the field to catch up , with cars flying around the turn and came a speeding Ross Chastain who slammed into the front of Busch’s #18 car at about 180 miles per hour, slightly going airborne almost flipped.
He also wrecked HMS Chase Elliott in the No. 9 car, leaving all three drivers to call it done for the day.
