During the 230th lap of NASCAR at Bristol Motor Speedway Sunday, a huge crash took out multiple cars and brought out the caution flag. Jimmie Johnson and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were both involved right off the bat.

It was about as hard a crash as you’re likely to see on the short track. The No. 47 car, No. 88 car, No. 8 car, No. 27 car and No. 41 were all involved in the massive wreck.

Just a massive pileup after the initial crash. If Stenhouse had been hit any harder, he likely would have flipped his car. The good news? Thankfully everyone seemed to be okay afterward.

Previously, Ryan Blaney was T-boned during a crash and his front end was clipped off in the process.
