In 2011, Dane Westby crashed on the closing lap of the Daytona 200, on the fastest part of the track.

Another rider elbowed his front brake lever, locking up Westby’s front wheel and throwing him to the pavement. After his crash, Westby got up and walked away, though a bit burned and abraded from sliding over 100 yards on dry pavement. I chatted with Westby...
