NASCAR’s Joey Logano rides on his roof, Riley Herbst nails wall at full speed in dangerous Talladega wreck

Joey Logano’s car flipped onto its roof in a late crash at Talladega, while Riley Herbst struck the outer wall and then appeared to hit an inside barrier at speed. The wreck interrupted the Yellawood 500 with six laps remaining and highlighted the risks of tightly packed racing at the track.

NASCAR said both drivers were taken to the infield care centre for evaluation and released. Kyle Larson won in overtime by 0.041 seconds over William Byron and Ricky Stenhouse Jr; with two races left, the victory moved him closer to the championship, which he had entered leading by five points over Christopher Bell.
