On the very last lap of the Xfinity Series race at Daytona, Snider’s Chevrolet got caught up in a tangle with Anthony Alfredo and Jade Buford.

And it was Snider who was sent careering into the air in what seemed like slow motion.

With NASCAR cars regularly reaching speeds of up to 185mph the fact Snider escaped unharmed is a minor miracle.

The 27-year-old spun sideways and collided with the trackside wall, which caused the engine to be EJECTED from the car.

The front and rear sections of the vehicle were also detached from the main body as he crashed back down on to the track in flames.

Snider's high-speed meant the car kept travelling in a huge fireball, before finally coming to a halt in a huge mangled pile.Responders rushed to the scene with fire extinguishers, helping Snider clamber out of the window and walk away unscathed.

Snider was then treated at Daytona's medical centre, but later released after the horror smash.

And he told a relieved huddle of reporters: "It was violent, saw sparks kind of going everywhere. You don't really know what's going on.

"You just kind of know you're going some direction, and it's not the right one. I was just kind of holding on, kind of hunched over, keeping everything together as much as I could.

"I can't profess enough how glad I am that I'm all good."

Despite being on the last lap of the race, NASCAR immediately issued a caution after the crash which froze the field as it was.

That saw Austin Hill come out on top of the 120-lap contest at Daytona.

Elsewhere Floyd Mayweather's Money Team secured a spot in Sunday's Daytona 500, a different race to the Xfinity Series.

Driver Kaz Grala qualified to make sure Mayweather would be represented in the main race on the weekend of the Money Team's NASCAR debut.
