Jeff Gordon
There are two equally impressive things about Jeff Gordon's scary crash near the end of the Bud Shootout. The first is that despite flipping multiple times and sliding on his roof, Gordon walked away from the wreck. The second is Kyle Busch.
The crash happened in the sprint to the finish, with Gordon getting into the back of Busch towards the front of the big pack. Once again, Busch got turned and went sliding into the apron. Gordon's car was pushed high, creating a logjam, and moments later, a big wreck.
Lost in Gordon's wild ride was Busch managing to save his car for the second time. It was almost the exact same situation as the first: Busch's car spun onto the apron, but he managed to keep it facing the right way without contacting anyone else.
The wildest part of this all? After almost crashing twice, making two incredible saves, Busch managed to win the race by slingshotting past Tony Stewart. One heck of a race and an insane display of driving ability.
