NASCAR's Ryan Preece was involved in a bone-jarring wreck during the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
The footage of the car flipping end-over-end and then side-over-side is insane.

NASCAR fans were quick to comment on the wild scene.
Just gutted after seeing that wreck. Thank god Ryan Preece was conscious and standing when the safety crew got him out of the car.

Worst wreck I’ve ever seen in the Cup Series. #RyanPreece
Prayers to Ryan Preece, hopefully he's not hurt too bad. I didn't expect to see him get out of the car after this. In my 3 decades of watching NASCAR, this is one of the craziest flips I've seen. https://t.co/pP42KgIO1V

“Ryan Preece flipped 10 times in this violent crash late at Daytona. And he walked away.” There fixed it for you.

That was the first question on everyone's mind, and yes, Preece climbed out of the wreckage.
As you can see on tv Ryan is out of the car.

Thank God
He was then taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
Ryan was transported to a local hospital where he is undergoing standard tests, he is awake, alert and obviously shaken.

Amazing.
The most violent flip I’ve seen in an extremely long time. Glad Ryan climbed from the car 🙏 https://t.co/2ErmO25mTk

This is absolutely shocking. Testament to the safety engineers. https://t.co/DhHDRyCw5n

To the extent you make cars going over 100 mph safe, it's extraordinary what NASCAR is able to do.
— Jordan Hall (@JordanHallWX) August 27, 2023
That's got to be a heck of feeling.
Your camera operator did an absolutely incredible job capturing this.

It really is stunning work.
Here's another angle.
Insane Nascar crash.

Ryan Preece's car flipped at least 12 times at Daytona tonight.
He somehow walked away under his own power before being put on a stretcher. pic.twitter.com/QdLgnBLeP3
Wow.
Ryan Preece FLIPS down the backstretch!

Even with reports of exiting the car, fans were rightfully concerned about the driver's condition.
Prayers up for Ryan Preece tonight. I hope he is alright. That was a very scary crash.pic.twitter.com/jGKyu2m5Vh

Preece himself gave fans a sigh of relief by providing an update of his own on Twitter/X.
If you want to be a race car driver, you better be tough.

Dammit. Fast @racechoice @FordPerformance Mustang. I’m coming back.
That was intense. We're glad he's okay.
