Danica Patrick, Joey Logano, Aric Almirola in violent, fiery crash

There was a scary moment in Saturday’s Go Bowling 400 at Kansas Speedway, shortly after a restart with 69 laps to go.

Joey Logano’s car turned left heading into Turn 2 after an apparent mechanical failure on the front end, sending Danica Patrick hard into the wall as the two were racing for 11th place in the race.

Patrick’s car exploded into flames and then both Patrick and Logano got hit by a hard-charging Aric Almirola, who clobbered both cars. Patrick and Logano quickly got out of their cars, but Almirola remained in his No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford.
