Preece "lucky to walk away" from second terrifying airborne crash at Daytona

It was not a first time for Ryan Preece to go airborne at Daytona, but hopefully Sunday night's was his last.

With just 15 laps of the Daytona 500 to go, Christopher Bell was turned from the lead and came skidding back down the track. Eventual race winner William Byron narrowly avoided him, but the car directly behind -- Preece, was not so fortunate. The No. 60 Ford immediately went up into the air after slamming into Bell, but not in the way we've come to expect. The car did what can only be described as a wheelie as it moved towards the entrance of Turn 3 before twisting enough to let the air fully get under it, flip upside down, and skid down the track before rolling back over and slamming the outside wall.
