Josh Berry and Michael McDowell went for wild rides during the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway as another driver locked in a spot for the playoffs.
Berry’s No. 4 Ford got airborne down the backstretch with two laps to go. He hit the retaining wall while upside down and sliding on his roof. After the sparks were done flying, Berry had to wait a few minutes before emergency officials were able to flip his vehicle over.

Berry was leading the race at the time of the crash when Austin Cindric got turned sideways and slammed into him.
"I’m all good, actually it probably wasn’t as bad as it looked," Berry told reporters, via NASCAR.com. "But man, I’m bummed. We had a helluva night going. We were in position and really proud of the job I did tonight, and the team did tonight. We were in contention."
Earlier in the race, McDowell was among the several cars involved in a wreck with nine laps to go. Drivers were racing three wide in the corner and one miscalculation started a major crash.
