This year's Daytona 500 absolutely refuses to run smoothly. First, the race was postponed until tonight due to heavy rain, then some of NASCAR's biggest names were taken out in a crash on lap two. Now, on lap 160, the race was sent into caution again after Juan Pablo Montoya, who was hurrying to get to the rest of the pack, lost control of his car and rammed into the back of a jet dryer on the track. The car was immediately engulfed in flames, and eventually, the jet fuel caught the safety truck on fire as well. Luckily, both Montoya and the truck driver walked away from the remains of their vehicles. Check out the incredible footage above.
