It took a big hit in the rear corner (from either the #78 running forwards or the rearward-spinning #77) then before it was settled got a good shove along the track, looks like that was plenty to flip him.
When I see a rollover from Talladega or Daytona posted here, I go in thinking it is going to be big. I have to say, that was one of the gentlest NASCAR rollovers I've seen in a while.

No, I meant the manufacturers wouldn't allow their models to be tested in such a way like that, bit of a laugh aside or not, lest they look "12 seconds slower than the BMW".
They'd pull a Ferrari and send an exclusive one-off model with nitrogen-filled tyres and the like.
Which isn't beyond suspicion in the original video anyway.
