I've been a race fan my whole life, and I've seen some amazing things on the track. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw at Daytona in 2025.
It was the final lap of the race, and the two lead cars were neck and neck. The crowd was on their feet, screaming and cheering. I could feel the tension in the air as the cars rounded the final turn.
Suddenly, one of the cars lost control and spun out. The other car swerved to avoid it, but it was too late. The two cars collided, sending debris flying into the stands.
I watched in horror as the cars burst into flames. I could hear the screams of the injured fans around me. I felt sick to my stomach.
In the aftermath of the crash, I learned that several people had been killed and dozens more injured. It was a tragedy that could have been avoided.
