Ryan Preece has walked away after a spectacular crash during the closing laps of the 2025 Daytona 500, going airborne and flipping down the Daytona backstretch and up the banking in Turn 3. It all occurred after a multi-car crash that began when Christopher Bell got spun in front of traffic while racing for the win with four laps to go.

"We know where there’s a problem, at superspeedways. … When it finally gets somebody, I don’t want it to be me."

Ryan Preece's crash Sunday was the latest in an uptick of cars flipping after wrecks and the second such incident for Preece in two years.

Daytona 500, Ryan Preece was involved in one of the most terrifying moments of his career. After getting into a high-speed crash, his car soared through the air, terrifying both fans and fellow drivers.

One of the scariest crashes this weekend at the Daytona 500 saw Ryan Preece catch full air, flipping over in his vehicle after popping a brief wheelie and going vertical. Preece came away from the crash begging NASCAR to take a long,

With four laps left, Preece turned upside-down and essentially did a wheelie in his No. 60 Ford. His car flipped onto its roof and turned back onto its tires before hitting the outside wall. Preece dropped his safety net to signal to crews he was OK. He finished 32nd.

Ryan Preece is becoming quite used to flying down the backstretch at Daytona International Speedway. After taking a terrifying tumble at Daytona in August of 2023, Preece flipped at the "World Center of Racing" again in Sunday's Daytona 500 in a big crash on lap 196.
