Biggest computer crash ( Nascar Racing )

I'm just curious, what's the biggest crash that the computer has caused  
( Not by yourself ), without any involvment from you? Recently, I was
racing at Michigan in 1st on the 7th lap when I came up on five cars who
had been in an accident, I avoided them with some luck. But when I looked
at the replay, a whole 10 cars took damage from the crash ( five had
droven off ). But just a little after that, five more cars became
involved when Micheal Waltrip hit one of the cars that had been knocked
out in the initial wreck. All in all, six cars where out of the race, 15
or 16 took damage, and all 38 computer cars were affected ( in the way of
losing time because they couldn't get around there opponents ).  I'm
wondering if anyone else has got in an accident this big.

15

I had one with Charlette.  I was in 18th place going into the tri-oval.
I saw smoke way up front, floored it and drove right for the smoke.
I blew through it and saw ONE car up front trying to recover from
a slide.  I passed him down the back-stretch and was in 1st place!
I don't recall how many where out.

In replay it shows mark Martin blowing a tire in 1st place with 1 lap
to go before his pit.  The whole train plowed into him.

I can post the replay if anyones interested.
The replay might straighten out my facts from memory! :)
