Brad Keselowski wrecked on Sunday during the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Kentucky. Contact from Kurt Busch caused Keselowski to spin and take out five other cars, the Associated Press reports.
The incident occurred during lap 49 while Keselowski was near the top 10. Busch's car went low and ended up connecting with the back left of Keselowski's No. 2 car. Keselowski went spinning across the track; Greg Biffle had no time to react and smacked in to the back of the No. 2 car, lifting it off the ground and sending it into the outside retaining wall.
Biffle's car caught fire, and the wreck ultimately involved five cars.
No one was injured.
Keselowski eventually returned to the race on lap 154; he finished 33rd.
Busch took responsibility for the accident and apologized. While Keselowski appeared to accept it, the wreck still ruined his chance for back-to-back Sprint Cup title wins.
"I'm still wrecked," he told reporters. "(Busch is) smarter than that, he knows better than that."
Busch appeared to drive over a drain before coming back on to the track and hitting Keselowski's car.
"I know he didn't intentionally wreck me, but it's one of those things," Keselowski added. "A chain of events with the way the cars drive and the track's got that really bad bump down there, and we all know that. There's no reason to go down there, but he still did."
Biffle returned to the race and finished 34th.
"I don't know what happened there," Biffle told reporters. "We weren't fortunate to miss this one. I was trying to get to the bottom to miss (Keselowski) and couldn't get it. I was on the brakes and the nose might have been on the race track of something. I couldn't get to the bottom to miss him."
Dave Blaney, Paul Menard, Landon Cassill and Travis Kvapil were also involved in the wreck.
