2006 IROC - Truex spins and gets stuck at Daytona

Martin Truex Jr.'s wacky adventures in the Daytona road course during Race 3 of the 2006 IROC series. Truex spins off turn 1, then crashes into a tire barrier while trying to catch back up to the field.

This was one of two bizarre incidents that occurred during the second half of the race.

I'm sorry, I'm a Truex, Jr. fan, but that last accident was just funny as hell. It's like he just drives off the track into the tire barriers...LOL.

@Ragingcroc I know, but it's still funny because it looks like he just decided to drive into the tire barrier.

@turbdturtle they sold all there tools and cars and ect. in 2008 but didnt run any races in 2007 so 2006 was the last year they raced. i just checked it on wikipedia. they couldnt find sponsorship.

It almost looks like he was fed up with it and said f*** this and turned off the track and drove straight into the tires. Something was obviously screwed up in his car, twice in 1 lap the thing didnt turn.

If memory serves me right, didn't it rain at some point during this race?
