A Steering Wheel Coming Off Caused This Hard Nascar Hit
Jimmie Johnson was driving in Nascar Sprint Cup qualifying in Phoenix when he went straight on and crashed, later revealing it was caused by his steering wheel coming off!
Johnson said after the crash on Twitter that the steering wheel came off while he was driving and owned up to the issue.
About qualifying, the steering wheel came off. I know my interview was vague, but wanted to tell the team first. I'm thankful for soft walls

Many have asked, yesterday is on me. Nothing is wrong with the wheel, coupler or steering shaft. I didn't get the wheel locked into place.
