Ryan Preece went for a violent barrel roll in the closing laps of Saturday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway.

Traveling down the backstretch at Lap 156, Preece’s No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford was contacted in the rear bumper by Erik Jones. Preece’s car veered left across the nose of teammate Chase Briscoe’s car. The right side of his vehicle lifted off the ground, resulting in a series of tumbles through the grass on the back straightaway.

After flipping at least 10 times, Preece emerged from his car under his own power and with assistance from the AMR Safety Team. The 32-year-old got on a stretcher and was transported to the infield care center.

Per NASCAR, Preece was later transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation.
