On tracks like Daytona, they normally have at least once crash per race that they refer to as the "big one". Shards of carbon fibre etc go everywhere, so they have a truck with a jet engine on the back to blow the debris and stuff off the banking and onto the in-field section.
A puncture from sharp debris at 190mph in a nascar is gonna be pretty hairy!
Very strange accident tho, just a combination of bad timing with a mechanical failure on JPM's car.
