6-car wreck in Xfinity Series qualifying
On TV Kyle Busch was very critical of the idiotic NASCAR qualifying races. "Now you have cars that were fast enough to transfer through that are wrecked." |
A six-car wreck brought out a red flag during the NASCAR XFINITY Series Coors Light Pole Qualifying on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway
Drivers involved included Daniel Suarez, Landon Cassill, Harrison Rhodes, Blake Koch, Carlos Contreras and Tanner Berryhill.
The pileup came about at the end of the second group participating in the first round of group qualifying before the season-opening Alert Today Florida 300, 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
Suarez appears to be heading to his backup car.
The melee also stirred up sentiment from drivers that the new knockout qualifying format is not suited for tracks like Daytona.
"This is not what it needs to be," Kyle Busch said to FOX Sports 1 about group qualifying shortly after the wreck. "Somehow, someway, this isn't right."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted that he hoped everyone was OK following the wreck as his team waited to see if it would make the race.
