Daytona 500 crash: Watch the big wreck that collected half the field in 2020 NASCAR season-opener



"The big one" seemed inevitable as drivers increased their aggressiveness with 17 laps to go in the 2020 Daytona 500. Sure enough, the massive crash occurred on the Daytona International Speedway backstretch on Lap 184, a wreck that brought out a red flag with 16 laps to go. Joey Logano, operating on the outside of a two-wide field, was pushing Aric Almirola down the backstretch, but things went wrong when Almirola reached the back bumper of Brad Keselowski. The bump was too strong, and Keselowski was turned into the outside wall. They were running toward the front of the field, so you can imagine what happened next.

"Tried to check out of the throttle a little bit, but I just hooked him." Involved in the accident were 19 drivers: Keselowski, Almirola, Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truck Jr., Bubba Wallace, Alex Bowman, Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, Ty Dillon, Matt DiBenedetto, Brendan Gaughan, Justin Haley, David Ragan, John Hunter Nemechek, Chris Buescher and Ross Chastain. UPDATE: Another crash, on Lap 198, collected nine more cars and brought out another red flag. It would set up the first attempt at an overtime finish. A heavy hit for many contenders late in the #DAYTONA500. @RossChastain and @chaseelliott are among those involved.

The move came after star wideout Hopkins was stunningly sent to the Cardinals in a package that saw running back David Johnson move in the other direction.

Jose Bautista is attempting a comeback as a two-way player: Does former MLB outfielder have a chance?

José Bautista could be coming to a bullpen near you. People are familiar with the former outfielder of Blue Jays fame for his propensity of launching dingers a long way, his bat flip and the one time he got decked by Rougned Odor. But Bautista, now 39, is attempting a comeback — with a twist. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bautista has been working out in the Dominican Republic as both a hitter and a pitcher. That's right, Bautista is attempting to make a comeback as a two-way player. I've seen video of Jose Bautista throwing a bullpen session. Couldn't tell the velocity, but one source said he can run his fastball up to 94. His slider had legitimate tilt -- threw a short one and a bigger bender. @STR0 said in January he could pitch in a big league bullpen. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 2, 2020 Per Passan, Bautista can run his fastball up to 94 mph., which is nothing to thumb your nose at, especially since he is an aging player. Bautista also boasts a slider that a...
