Chris Bell’s Last Lap Crash During The Camping World Truck Race At Daytona Was Incredible – He’s OK

Chris Bell has likely spent lots of his life dreaming about making headlines at Daytona while racing in a stock car. He never dreamed of making them the way he did to kick off NASCAR’s biggest weekend during the Camping World truck race under the lights. Bell was running in the back on the last lap and then all of a sudden all hell broke loose and he went on a ride that will live for a long, long time in the annals of Daytona International Speedway lore. The truck rolled nearly 10 times but maintained its integrity and allowed Bell to exit under his own power. That’s an amazing testament to the job that the engineers have done working safety into not only the roll cage but also for the personal protection that the drivers wear these days.

There are an array off aerodynamic aids, flaps, and stuff designed to prevent these trucks from turning over but the reality is that physics cannot be defeated. Once the air caught the truck things we completely haywire. We have to believe that Bell was sitting in there wondering when it was all going to stop and likely praying that no one got into him and made his situation even worse. One of the things that makes this wreck different from others is that the barrel rolls kind of vary in speed and ferocity. There are a couple pretty graceful looking ones when the truck is totally airborne but once the wheels and tires start catching some pavement they become more snappy and violent. This is about as nasty a thing as we have ever seen.

We’re glad that Bell was able to walk away and we’re guessing he’ll be back next year with his foot on the floor agin. That’s what racers do.
