Christopher Bell was able to walk away from a massive head-on impact into the inside wall on the backstretch at Talladega Superspeedway after a bump draft gone wrong from his teammate Denny Hamlin.

Christopher Bell slammed into the inside wall toward the end of the first stage of the NASCAR Talladega race and was able to climb out of the car.

The NASCAR field was setting up for a final run to end the opening stage at Talladega, just minutes after three Cup champions collided at pit entry under green. On this restart, Christopher Bell led the outside lane and Chris Buescher led the inside lane. Neither driver would complete another full lap under green.
