Brendan Gaughan had the best reaction to getting flipped.
The fifth playoff race of the NASCAR season was wrapping up Monday at Talladega when things got crazy down the stretch as a huge wreck saw Brendan Gaughan’s No. 62 car flip completely over and then stick the landing like nothing had happened.
This wild moment at the 1000Bulbs.com 500 at Talladega Superspeedway happened with just seven laps to go. It started with Kurt Busch pushing Kyle Busch into the top 5 and then all heck broke loose.
Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, and David Ragan were bounced from the race.
Gaughan, however, is very lucky that he wasn’t injured because this video of his car flipping through the air is pretty incredible:
Check it out in slow-mo:
Gaughan had a priceless interview after the wreck:
"Mother, it's OK. It's just a flip. It didn't hurt. I promise!"
After a scary-looking flip, @Brendan62 is OK and has a smile on his face. pic.twitter.com/iileYq1kux

Ryan Blaney, meanwhile, took home the checkered flag in a photo finish.
What. A. Race.
