NASCAR wreck at Martinsville sparks HUGE car pile-up

NASCAR's O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday saw a huge multi-car pileup in the closing stages of the race.

With 23 laps to go at the Virginia short track, the caution flag came out when Ross Chastain was sent spinning in the No. 91 Chevrolet after receiving contact on the outside.

A few laps later, once the incident was cleared, the race was set to go green again, with Justin Allgaier and Lee Pulliam on the front row. However, as it did so, and the cars crossed the start-finish line, Pulliam's car did not pull away as expected.

With the whole field closely packed up, this led to Carson Kvapil wrecking straight into the back of Pulliam's car, serving as the catalyst for a 'big one' as the rest of the field's momentum saw them get caught up in the incident.

It was quite remarkable, and if you don't believe us, you can see for yourself here.
