Brad Keselowski, driver of the #22 Discount Tire Dodge, and Kyle Larson, driver of the #32 Clorox Chevrolet, are involved in an incident at the finish of the NASCAR Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 23, in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Regan Smith was leading coming to the checkered flag when he was turned sideways into the wall. Cars began wrecking all over the track, and rookie Kyle Larson's car went sailing into the fence that separates the track from the grandstands.
 

Stewart slid through the wreckage to the win.

Was it a Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, or Mazda that sent parts into the stands? (I assume the domestic name plates no longer compete in organized racing). Either way, a terrible situation.
