A bump by Elliott Sadler in the second lap caused Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson to crash into a wall, leading to a chain-reaction wreck involving Danica Patrick, defending Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne, David Ragan and Kurt Busch. 

Juan Pablo Montoya's crash, though, was the most spectacular in what was a strange and dramatic race.
