'Massive Wreck' In NASCAR Atlanta Race Results In Major Damage To Multiple Cars
'Massive Wreck' In NASCAR Atlanta Race Results In Major Damage To Multiple Cars originally appeared on The Spun. NASCAR is in Atlanta today for the Quaker State 400 as part of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge. Unfortunately, one of the tournament's biggest proponents just saw his car get wrecked as part of the action. Advertisement On Lap 57, Christopher Bell's No. 20 car got turned and subsequently smashed as several drivers rammed into his car. One of the other car casualties of the wreck was Ryan Blaney's No. 12 car, which also sustained "major damage" after the dust settled. Bell and Blaney got sent to the garage while Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace, AJ Allmendinger, Austin Dillon and a few others lost a lot of ground. "A problem for Christopher Bell turned into a big problem for others. Ryan Blaney's bid to win, and advance in the In-Season Tournament is done thanks to this incident, which ended Stage 1 of the Quaker State 400," motorsports writer Toby Christie remarked on X. NASCAR fans are already annoyed that their brackets in the In-Season Challenge have already been destroyed by the eliminations from the race: Advertisement "Did a 5 race NASCAR bracket pool starting with tonight's race in Atlanta. Walk into the house and see a 30 car wreck. So the equivalent of if 50 planes carrying NCAAB teams crashed. NASCAR gambling is brutal," one user lamented with a laughing emoji. "#NASCAR I'm so glad that I didn't get caught up in the hoopla of making a bracket, it probably would have been busted by now," wrote another. "There goes my fantasy team AND my bracket. I coulda been a millionaire!" a third wrote. "I saw my entire final four in the bracket challenge right in the middle of the pileup lol." Advertisement "#NASCAR can just call the insurance company for the bracket payout and tell them they get to keep the money. The house always wins." HAMPTON, GEORGIA - FEBRUARY 22: Christopher Bell, driver of the #20 DEWALT Toyota, looks on during qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on February 22, 2025 in Hampton, Georgia. (Photo by)The irony is that Bell was one of the most fervent supporters of the In-Season Challenge. 'I mean, I think it's going to be a great addition to the sport,' Bell said in May of last year. 'And it's certainly going to open up the strategy a lot, because it really creates a head-to-head racing scenario where if the yellow flag comes out, you might just do the opposite of the guy that you're racing — regardless of what that does to your finishing position. So I think it's going to be awesome for the sport, and it's going to be really fun to pay attention and see how it influences the race.' Advertisement Time will tell if the tournament is great for the sport. Though for right now, it sure wasn't great for Bell.

Rumours confirmed of car swallowed up by Lake Minnewanka in Alberta nearly a century ago
It took only a few minutes of diving time for John Ryan and his team to confirm a decades-long rumour of a car resting on the bottom at the middle of Lake Minnewanka. Article content Article content A week ago, the Airdrie resident and his companions donned wetsuits and fell off an inflatable boat to scour the Banff National Park's lake for a car that had supposedly fallen through the ice in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Article content Article content At a depth of nearly 60 metres about four kilometers from shore, the ghostly sight of an Essex sedan, possibly of 1928 vintage, emerged in the silty, grey-green murk. Article content Article content 'We found it in seven minutes, which is extremely rare,' said Ryan, adding the discovery was made in water with five metres of visibility. Article content 'The lake is slowly giving up its secrets and we're determined to get there.' Article content Ryan and fellow divers Alan Keller and Brian Nadwidny had been tantalized by stories of a Saskatchewan photographer who'd driven his car far out onto the lake's ice and had set up his camera tripod when his vehicle broke through the ice, fortunately without him. Article content The trio had recently received a tip from a man who had detected what could have been the lost car while searching for a body using side-scan sonar. Article content 'We obviously needed to dive for it, there was no two ways about it,' said Ryan. Article content Using their own sonar device on board their boat, the men pinpointed the most likely site for the car in one of the deepest parts of the frigid lake and swiftly found it resting on the lake's silty bottom, the first time humans have laid eyes on it since its disappearance, said Ryan. Article content 'Being the first to see this dusty old car is the reason we do it (given) all the expense and time away from home,' he said. Article content The old Detroit-built car has kept its park pass — metal in those days — and white Saskatchewan licence plates bearing the red numbers 48009. Article content A shovel partly buried in silt can be glimpsed inside the car that initially appears in sturdy condition, 'but you can see the years have not been good to it,' said Ryan. Article content The cars aren't the only sunken human artifacts hidden by the 20 km-long lake northeast of the Banff townsite. Article content The ruins of the summer village of Minnewanka Landing, which was fully inundated in 1941 with the construction of a dam. Article content It's a subterranean locale known well by scuba diver Ryan, who has floated along its streets that lie 18 metres below the lake's waves. Article content 'You can see the ruins of a hotel (dating to 1886), a stove, lanterns, a road, tree stumps and a sidewalk,' said Ryan. But those ruins are well-travelled by divers, he said. Other undiscovered prizes remain somewhere much further from shore than the remains of the village. Article content The rumour is, there might be two other cars sitting in Lake Minnewanka glacier-fed depths waiting to be discovered, said the Airdrie man. Article content
