Shocking Footage and HQ Photos Of Kyle Larson’s NASCAR Crash at Daytona
More than a dozen fans were injured after a horrific car crash on the final lap of the Nationwide race at Daytona. The crash, occurring moments before the end of the Nationwide race Saturday at Daytona, caused Kyle Larson’s car to become airborne into the frontstretch catch fencing, shearing off the front half of the car and leaving large pieces of the vehicle inside the fencing. Watch ESPN’s recap of the crash… And watch first-hand footage of the entire frontend of Larson’s car flying into the crowd. UPDATE: Fan safety is a huge issue for NASCAR and they obviously don’t want this graphic footage on the web so it has been removed from YouTube. If we find any additional footage we’ll surely post it.

As it seems now, NASCAR is on a mission to change its image for the better, by doing what they do best, being NASCAR. On the surface, NASCAR is simple, fun and casual. But dig a little deeper and you’ll see it turns into much more than a sport of driving around an oval. It becomes a competition of engineering, calculation and details of such precision it’s almost, dare I say, art. So when NASCAR asked us to come join them at a race for the Sprint Cup Series, we accepted, but wanted to do it right. A handful of our RSVLTS editors and staff came on the trip, keeping an open mind, by traveling via RV from NYC to one of the Mecca’s of competitive racing, Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Bank of America 500. Now be mindful, we’re journalists. But in the unique angle of this story, we felt obligated to “scrapbook” the visuals and give the reader the more »

RSVLTS Interview NASCAR Star Denny Hamlin
This weekend we are taking an epic RV trip down to Charlotte, NC for the Bank of America 500. There will be eight of us making the trip and none of us have ever been to a NASCAR race.

We’ll be posting plenty of photos and video along the way so stay tuned. In the mean time we interviewed NASCAR stud Denny Hamlin so check it out below.
