WATCH: NASCAR wreck at Talladega Superspeedway triggers massive 16-car crash

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Things got interesting really quick Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama when A.J. Allmendinger bumped Chase Elliot during Lap 169 of the Geico 500 and set off a chain reaction involving at least 16 cars.

It was a “Big One,” and it’s even more jarring in slow motion.

As USA Today noted, Elliott initially accepted blame for the multi-car wreck but was told Allmendinger was at fault, and Allmendinger later passed that blame to Kevin Harvick.

No drivers were injured.
