2014 Daytona 500
The "Big One"
#### The "Big One"

On lap 145, the third caution came out for a crash on the front straightaway. It started when [Kevin Harvick](/wiki/Kevin_Harvick "Kevin Harvick") and [Brian Scott](/wiki/Brian_Scott "Brian Scott") made contact in the exit of turn 4, sending Scott into Almirola. Almirola shot across the track and collected several more cars including Patrick, Waltrip, [Parker Kligerman](/wiki/Parker_Kligerman "Parker Kligerman"), [Paul Menard](/wiki/Paul_Menard "Paul Menard"), [David Gilliland](/wiki/David_Gilliland "David Gilliland"), [Josh Wise](/wiki/Josh_Wise "Josh Wise"), Austin Dillon, Justin Allgaier, Kasey Kahne and [Marcos Ambrose](/wiki/Marcos_Ambrose "Marcos Ambrose"). Patrick took the worst hit, as her car got turned by Almirola and slammed the outside wall in the tri\-oval in a part of the track that lacked a [SAFER barrier](/wiki/SAFER_barrier "SAFER barrier"); the section of wall where Patrick hit the wall would receive a SAFER barrier before the rain\-shortened Coke Zero 400 that summer. Upon exiting her car, Patrick felt "upset because the car felt really good, it was the best car \[she's] had all of Speedweeks" and that her car "could catch whoever and move around...and move forward". Waltrip was more forthright in his thoughts on the crash, stating he "was going to be fine" but that another car "cleaned our clock from behind".


Were there any other significant consequences from the pileup?
