Jimmie Johnson, Danica Patrick crash

Daytona 500 got delayed due to rain yesterday, and when it resumed today five-time champion Jimmie Johnson followed up his worst season in NASCAR with his worst finish in the Daytona 500. Johnson wrecked on the second lap of The Great American Race on Monday, ending his night long before his car reached full speed.

Danica Patrick, former series champion Kurt Busch and defending Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne also were caught up in the mess, which happened super early in a race that drivers, crews and fans had waited more than 30 hours to get underway because of rain.
