1989 Banquet 300 - Martin Flip

[DustinOfPersonality]

Whoever was the rear tire changer is FIRED!

[cougarlover1]

This could only happen to Mark Martin haha poor old man :/ he has the worst luck, but he is still my number 1!!

[C0LL1N]

so because of miscommunication someone took the lugnuts off the rear tire and said "yep my jobs done here, let him go!"

[bigt1nyhatch]

Mark was quite an athlete!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lhefel45]

this is so confusingly insane

[snappy452]

Martin - "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

Tire Changer - "Im so fired...."

[storm24awesome]

in the pits to upside down

[OptimusPrime2471]

If the car had not lost the tire and it was the other way around in terms of miscommunication he could have hit the barrier lauched into the air and barrel rolled into the stratosphere of hell

[superdevins]

I just noticed that this was the Nascar's first race at Sears Point.

[ROBLOXIANgordonrox24]

An unhappy young man! Wow, young man!

[florida5fan]

Only Mark would get that unlucky...

[66hourenergy]

Plenty of tires for Mark to choose from in that Turn 1 wall.

[MrZachGW]

Mark Martin must of thought that one of those Nascar officials were terorists or something. You never say a Nascar driver doin that

[KingCuervo88]

he ran like he was being chased by a ghost

[ericstranne]

what did he finish?

[Jorge1Jigen]

Dude! It's the drunk guy in tree cam! Flippin' sweet yo!

[UltimateEEnEFan]

When Mark flipped at Talladega in 2009, why did he say it was his first time up-side-down if this really was?

[bluetaurus6]

That was Carl Edwards in April.

[UltimateEEnEFan]

No, Mark flipped in the fall race.

[bluetaurus6]

I was just going off the fact that when Carl flipped in April, he made the statement that that was HIS first flip. I have been a Mark fan for a long time, and he has flipped multiple times at Talladega and Daytona. I don't recall that statement. Just an observation.

[UltimateEEnEFan]

He said it to his crew right after his flip.

[bluetaurus6]

Not sure then. That seems odd. Maybe he meant that was the first time he had ever flipped like that flip.

[UltimateEEnEFan]

Probably.

[rustyshackleford01]

A race car driver doesn't really remember every single moment that happened to them. All of the races kind of run together at some point, so I'm sure he doesn't remember this one right off

[ericstranne]

well, I suppose you would remember a rollover, right?

[allthatremains2009]

even though he is understandably pissed off, he still keeps his cool and gives a decent interview without slamming someone. That is why mark martin is and always has been my favorite driver. He "shows character."

[NismoFinder]

Is he wearing Ski Goggles?!!? lol that's awesome!

[jaked812812]

everyone says that mark's flip at talladega was his first rollover, but obviously they have never seen this crash before

[Fyuzseion]

0:42 - ...boing...boing...boing.....

[nascarjohnsonfan48]

lol mark runs funny

[cbatiste]

he just took a flip at dega today as well

[FreeRangeVids]

and said it was the first time he had ever been upside down too. Must have been the old man memory thing ;-)

[cheese2507]

First time in 20 years.

[AjAllmendinger84]

Mark is a gentleman and a great racer, he has the worst luck in the sport though.

[spasticchuckles016]

He's my fav, but McMurray probably has the worst :D

[pwnzor3000]

Wow, this was 20 years ago!!

I'm only 15, and time's flying by!

[kingofrunescapepking]

does anyone have footage of either waltrip or means' flips in practice

[kingofrunescapepking]

i think he means robby not jeff, and robby's lover IS harvick

[CourtyardPigeon]

"get away from the race track boy..." hhahahaa...no kidding..geez

[S1apSh0es]

They had a crew cam in 89? XD

[BoberMcBoberson]

Mark Is the Man! Its funny hearing him referred to as a young man LOL!

[vamnews]

Mark might get screwed over by his crew but he'll take the blame, unlike Gordon and his lover Harvick.

[braxtheaxeman21]

No joke! His crews have let him down multiple times. Just think back to 2006, when he was 2nd in points at the Lowe's Speedway. His crew gave him and incredibly slow pit stop, which put him in the back of the field with incompetent drivers like J.J. Yeley, who put him in the wall. Unfortunate!

[jetstream01]

Man Mark always gets jipped by idiot pit crews and unfortunate circumstances. He is a great driver.

[ncgriffin3557]

wow thanks for the insight

[InvisibleTeeth]

That's like the same spot that Park and Schrader wrecked in the same race in like 2003.

[fueldragster]

4:30, Wow, Mark Martin and "Young man" used in the same sentence!

[InvisibleTeeth]

well, he was only 30 in 1989...lol

[bluefusion6]

Mark finished 31st only 5 laps down in this race...now that's team effort!

[Jason689]

I love how he looks BOTH ways before running across the track haha.

[sweetset09]

lmao wat is he doing

[thenascarmaniac]

mark is the best

[storm24awesome]

@thenascarmaniac not there though

[kingjosesmith]

I have to give it to Mark. I would have strangled the guy who took off the lugnuts. Great man and driver...

[gobowlingdano]

Whats really gonna piss mark off is that his tire finished higher than he did.

[floydfanTN]

Actually he got the car flipped back over and finished the race IIRC

[terrijane61]

I don't blame him for being ticked! I have always been a Mark Martin fan. Even in these tough situations, he really handles himself well. He is a gentleman.

[DC322]

The first year at Infineon Raceway(Sonoma)after racing at Riverside for many years.  Disappointed that old racetracks are going away such as Riverside, Mesa Marin and Flemington Speedway in New Jersey.

[avenged7fold332]

Grammar police! "mis communitcation" should be miscommunication. lol.

[battalionfan888]

i provide the clip, i dont need to spell right ive done enough lol

[avenged7fold332]

lol, I'm jk. Thanks for the clip though, I've never seen this live.

[ncgriffin3557]

well it does help if yuo spell things right

[ncgriffin3557]

you should spell it right it is helpful if you know how to spell

[nascarsignore]

@avenged7fold332 Grammar police! " Mis Communication " should be capitalized because it is the start of a new sentence. Asshole.

[avenged7fold332]

@nascarsignore wow you're funny, that was 2 years ago, i honestly don't give a shit, and he knew i was joking.

[nascarsignore]

@avenged7fold332 wow.. u were the asshole by correcting someone. how does it feel to be on the other end of a shit stick

[avenged7fold332]

@nascarsignore Not really, i've known batallionfan for a long long time, he knew it was only a joke. so how about you stop commenting now, idiot.

[nascarsignore]

@avenged7fold332 so how about u go suck your daddy's tiny dick. asshole

[avenged7fold332]

@nascarsignore haha, you're a joke

[nascarsignore]

@avenged7fold332 what kind? i kno like 20 different types of jokes. there are literal ones like idk... a knock-knock joke, or a scott speed joke. and there are hypothetical jokes like.. ur penis

[stealthy2]

@nascarsignore I love grammar police... good to see there is a person other than me who adheres to high standards!

[nascarsignore]

@stealthy2 lol... welcome

[collegekid122]

Amazing footage. Thanks very much, I have always been a huge Mark Martin fan.
