A massive crash involving Memo Gidley in the Gainsco Chevrolet Daytona Prototype and Matteo Malucelli in the #62 Ferrari. The terrifying incident occurred at the kink following the International Horseshoe.

Matteo Malucelli was slow to enter the kink when Gidley was racing another prototype into the corner. Unfortunately, Gidley slammed into Malucelli at an extremely high speed. Poor visibility from sun glare likely made it difficult for Gidley to identify Malucelli's Ferrari until the last second.

According to the latest updates, Gidley has been removed from the Daytona Prototype and has been rushed to the hospital. Stay tuned as we learn more about the incident.
