NASCAR: Insider Questions Big Corey LaJoie Wreck – ‘This Was Very Odd’ [Video]

At Michigan International Speedway, NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie experienced a dramatic flip during a fight with Noah Gragson. Speaking on The Teardown podcast, commentators Jordan Bianchi and Jeff Gluck delved into the peculiar nature of the incident, questioning the safety concerns behind it.

Bianchi was uneasy about the severity of the crash, noting that while incidents of cars getting airborne are concerning, they are not frequent enough to suggest a trend.

“Certainly concerning anytime a car gets airborne and has an incident like that it’s concerning. I guess this isn’t like a rash of cars flipping upside down like this that, which if you know it kind of helps a little bit.

“If this was happening on a regular then you’re like ‘Woah, wait a second,’ because there was a time period there 2015/2016 it’s like we were getting a lot of flips.”
