Big crash happens early at Coke Zero 400 (Video)

Sunday's Coke Zero 400 was delayed over three hours because of rain. When it finally got going before 11 p.m. ET, it didn't take long for the first big crash to hit.

David Gilliland cut down in front of Clint Bowyer on lap three. He wasn't clear of Bowyer and went spinning off Bowyer's bumper. As drivers behind the two checked up, chaos ensued.

Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano was involved as his car was damaged heavily. He was ordered back to pit road after the race went back green because the splitter was dragging on the track.

Another big crash struck with more than 50 laps to go in eerily similar circumstances when Matt Kenseth cut in front of Kasey Kahne and spun as he moved towards the inside.
