US EditionBubba Wallace Spin Triggers Big One Nascar Talladega Crash
The wreck triggered a red flag after Wallace was bumped into the wall, and early reports said 26 to 27 cars were involved.
- On Sunday, April 26, 2026, a 27-car pileup erupted at Talladega Superspeedway during the NASCAR Cup Series Jack Link's 500 on Lap 115 at the start of Stage 2, blocking the track.
- The "Big One" erupted after Ross Chastain bumped Bubba Wallace into the outside wall, triggering a chain-reaction wreck that blinded drivers with tire smoke and left them nowhere to escape.
- Veteran reporter Bob Pockrass described the scene as a "Parking Lot" as safety crews rushed onto the track, while major drivers Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and Kyle Larson were among those eliminated.
- Wallace climbed from his car and took responsibility for the initial contact, stating, "We gotta figure out how to be pushed better," as officials assess damage under a red flag.
- NASCAR reporter Jeff Gluck called the wreck a "total junkyard," noting the replay will be interesting as the incident significantly reshapes the competition landscape for the remainder of the 500.
