Ryan Preece was taken to the hospital for examination after his car flipped multiple times following a crash at Daytona on Saturday night.

Preece’s No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford was on Lap 156 of the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. He was contacted in the rear by Erik Jones and immediately veered left across the track. He bumped into teammate Chase Briscoe’s car before the No. 41 Ford headed for the grass where the right side lifted up. As soon as that happened, Preece’s No. 41 began to barrel roll, flipping several times.

As destructive and scary as that crash was, Preece was able to walk off on his own. He was taken to the infield care center for evaluation and later transported to a hospital.
