NASCAR drivers Corey LaJoie<\/strong> and Josh Berry<\/strong> were involved in a crash<\/a> during the final lap of the GEICO 500, and the aftermath photos have been revealed. Stephen Stumpf of Frontstretch shared photos of LaJoie and Berry\u2019s cars after the crash. It shows what happened when LaJoie\u2019s right front launched off of Berry\u2019s left rear, and both cars took a beating. <\/p>\n

The crash happened when Michael McDowell<\/strong> went for a block on Brad Keselowski.<\/strong> But when McDowell couldn\u2019t clear Keselowski, it catapulted up the racetrack into the outside wall, leading to LaJoie and Berry getting involved in the pileup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just super unfortunate,\u201d McDowell said after the race.<\/a> \u201cI just hate it for everyone on this Love\u2019s Ford Mustang and I hate it for Brad, too. We did a good job of keeping those Mustangs up front and he did everything right. He pushed me out, I drove back to him, and I was able to get in front of him that very first time but when I came back down, just barely wasn\u2019t clear. I\u2019ll have to watch the replay but that\u2019s what I remember from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I hated that we didn\u2019t make it to the finish line. We had such a fast Mustang today and it\u2019s unfortunate. It\u2019s been a rough few weeks but it\u2019s the last lap at Talladega. Going for it, trying to get a win and just came up short. Hate that I took a lot of guys with me, so I apologize to Brad and everybody that got collected in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corey LaJoie and Josh Berry still finished strong<\/h2>\n

LaJoie and Berry still had strong finishes at Talladega, placing 18th and 16th, respectively. LaJoie has competed in 242 Cup Series races and has finished in the top 10 nine times. Berry is in his first year as a full-time Cup Series driver, competing in the No. 4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing. He took over for Kevin Harvick, who retired from full-time racing after the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really means a lot to have the support that I\u2019ve had,\u201d Berry said last June, per NASCAR.com.<\/a> \u201cObviously, to get to this point, I knew that everybody at SHR and this group beside me believes in me and what I bring to the table. <\/p>\n

\u201cLike I\u2019ve said, it\u2019s going to be a great challenge trying to fill the job that Kevin\u2019s done over the years. I mean, he\u2019s a future Hall-of-Famer and has won countless races, a championship and I\u2019ve been watching the races this year \u2013 these guys have been running really well from what I\u2019ve been seeing. So it\u2019s really encouraging for me and exciting to know that I\u2019m gonna get such a great group around me. I intend to do everything I can to try to keep that group together and excited to work with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
