NASCAR<\/a> gun Tyler Reddick drove his car back to pit lane after a wild 300km\/h flip through the grass at Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Reddick was trying to drive around the outside of Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr on the high-banks of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the latter moved up the track, squeezing Elliott up into Reddick.<\/p>\n

Both drivers then crashed into the wall and spun towards the infield, collecting an innocent Brad Keselowski along the way.<\/p>\n

As the cars spun through the grass, \ufeffReddick's car became slightly airborne, before it dug into the grass and rolled.<\/p>\n

Miraculously, the car landed on all four wheels. Incredibly, Reddick was able to drive the car back to his pit box\ufeff.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the damage was too much and Reddick's afternoon was done. The cars lap the Vegas oval at an average speed of just under 300km\/h.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"You've just got to be aggressive on restarts, I just had a split second to make a decision," Reddick said.<\/p>\n

"By the time I realised I was in trouble, it was too late. There was nowhere really to go. Be a little conservative, that's what we needed to do. We'll learn from it."<\/p>\n

Reddick was attempting to gain on-track position and misjudged how much room he had.<\/p>\n

"I thought the hole was there; it wasn't. It closed so quickly," Reddick said on his radio.<\/p>\n

Both Reddick and Elliott are among the eight drivers remaining in NASCAR's 'Chase for the Cup', where drivers are steadily eliminated over the final 10 races of the season until four remain for the first-past-the-post finale at Phoenix Raceway next month.<\/p>\n
