NASCAR's 2026 All-Star Race, live from Dover, is less than 30 minutes old at this point. However, we already have a major caution issued.
Cup Series driver Ryan Preece's No. 60 car suffered "major" damage to his car early in the race. There was a significant incident, involving Preece and several other drivers, early in the race.
Ryan Blaney, meanwhile, had significant damage, too.
"Ryan Blaney has a ton of damage to the front end of the No. 12 car. Going to be a lengthy repair. If repaired, the No. 12 car can compete in the final segment since it is locked into the All-Star Race. No backup cars can be unloaded," Dustin Abino shared.
Preece, meanwhile, suffered the most damage of them all. The back of his No. 60 car is completely totaled.
Footage of the 'massive' wreck is pretty wild
Several big cars were involved in the massive wreck, which came during Lap 2 of Segment No. 1.
"Big crash one lap into the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover. Ryan Preece got out of the car under his own power," Always Race Day shared.
NASCAR fans quickly took to social media to weigh in on what happened.
"Ryan Preece always ends up in the worst hits I'm so glad he is okay," one wrote.
"This is when you say thank you to the engineers and safety workers for sure," one fan added.
"This guy has the worst wrecks," another added.
"That should buff right out," another shared.
It's already been a pretty eventful day.
Hopefully, the rest of NASCAR's 2026 All-Star Race will not feature any significant or dangerous crashes.
