Crash knocks Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch out of Daytona 500 (VIDEO)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran into some awful luck while leading in the Daytona 500 race on Sunday.

With just 96 laps to go, Earnhardt — along with Matt Kenseth, Ty Dillon and Erik Jones —  got taken out when Kyle Busch’s tire blew out.

Here’s what the crash looked like:

This opened the door for Kurt Busch, who eventually won the race. (And no, Kyle Busch’s tire fail causing the crash was not an inside job.)
