That Didn’t Take Long: First Big Wreck After 8 Laps At Daytona

Brad Keselowski appeared to cut a tire in Turn 2 and spun, causing a six-car wreck just eight laps into the Daytona 500.

Keselowski’s wreck also impacted teammate Sam Hornish Jr., meaning two of Penske Racing’s three cars had damage in the incident.

Darkhorse Regan Smith was caught in the wreck as well, likely ending his day. Mike Bliss, Boris Said and Max Papis also got a piece of the accident.

Clearly, that wasn’t the start Keselowski wanted for his tenure at Penske; nor did that do Hornish any favors in what could be a make-or-break year for him.

Smith, who went his entire career without a DNF until late last season, could be facing one in the first race of 2010. A terrible start for Furniture Row Racing’s attempt at a full-time campaign.
