Carson Kvapil, driver of the No. 1 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, flipped and crashed just three laps into the NASCAR Xfinity race at Kansas, bringing out a red flag.
The incident began three-wide with JR Motorsports teammates Justin Allgaier and William Byron; Byron made contact with Kvapil's left-rear, sending Kvapil into the outside wall before driver Parker Retzlaff struck the car, lifting it off the ground.
The No. 1 Chevrolet tumbled onto its lid, slid down the backstretch, rolled several times and came to rest upside down near Turn 3; safety crews red-flagged the race for about 12 minutes and rolled the car, allowing Kvapil to climb out.
Kvapil said he "was not ready for that" and expressed disappointment for the Bass Pro Shops team; Retzlaff suffered heavy nose damage and both drivers were checked and released. Kvapil, one of four Dash4Cash drivers at Kansas, recorded a DNF and last-place finish, ending his shot at the $100,000 bonus.
