LINCOLN, Ala. -- The largest wreck in the modern history of NASCAR broke out with five laps to go in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, as 28 cars were involved in The Big One of all big ones with five laps to go. The crash occurred right at the front of the field, and took out virtually all of the lead pack.

Tune into a NASCAR Cup Series broadcast at Daytona or Talladega and you’re sure to hear about “The Big One.” It’s the monkey wrench of nearly every superspeedway race where lots of cars get tangled up in lots of carnage.

With 28 cars involved in Sunday's "Big One" crash at Talladega, it earns the title of the largest NASCAR Cup Series crash by number of cars damaged in the sport's history.
