[42HAMILTON]

motley crue!

[marshalljimduncan]

Now he is a reporter on speed network, with Kenny "herman" Wallace, and Jimmy Spencer.

[WillG75]

@marshalljimduncan nooooooooo

[racefan32]

@marshalljimduncan Different John Roberts that John is way too young to have raced is 1967, but I would presume the John Roberts in this video survived.

[productionvideos27]

oops?

[firefighterduck2]

is this the same johnny roberts that raced at hagerstown speedway through out the 60's n 70's?

[spasticchuckles016]

he flipped over 10 times for those of you who care...

[tiddynezz]

is he hanging out the window at :13?

[NismoFinder]

@DLine87 Yes, he was fine I believe.

[itsthegarrettshow]

[dustindowie]

Hey that's my grandpa! This is favorite grand daughter jillian

[racefan32]

@dustindowie Well then Hi Jillian, I glad he came out of it ok, and your his favorite., have a great day.

[fwayndo1]

doubt it

[StickDeathIncFilms]

that's just like maynard troyer's 1960 daytona flip, except troyer flipped 14 times

[ExposeTheCorrupt1]

@StickDeathIncFilms  Maynard Troyer's Daytona flip was in 1971...

[NASCARWWEclubpenguin]

i thought Maynard Troyer was the driver who flipped?

[SwanKong11]

I believe that is the crash featured in the Motley Crue video "Kickstart my Heart". Anyway thank God he survived, what a crash.

[spasticchuckles016]

10 flips. Definately. I downloaded it and slowed it down

[5Farr8]

HOLY SNOT!

[rockyPC48]

wow thats crazy! lol 10 flips!!!

[drerrito]

i counted 10 flips

[stewarthass14]

ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch is what he said each flip

[NR2003racer016]

I'm surprised he survived! That was before they invented all that safety equipment. He's lucky

[waltsa200]

Yes DLine87, Johnny survived and is doing well these days. I talked to his grand son recently and found him a copy of the July 1967 Stock Car Racing magazine with some good still shots of this crash.. This crash led to a seatbelt change to keep the driver in the car better.

[evan06kirk]

I counted he fliped 12 times.

[01012159]

Crash looks straight out of hollywood.

[word360]

Scott Wimmer had a VERY similar type of flip during the 2005 Daytona 500!

[davidd2172]

I counted ten times. What say ye?

[Gujester]

Nine

[HopefulSwine]

i counted 10 O.o

eh 1 flip not much of a difference

[myPETsnailFRED]

the car looks very strong for the first few rolls

[waltsa200]

I have the 1967 Stock Car Racing magazine now. It claims Roberts was not seriously injured in this crash.

[e521soediv]

[waltsa200]

e521soediv , I'm 92 years old,

[e521soediv]

[waltsa200]

Yeah!! Don't you remember, I used to date your mom who is 108!!!

[e521soediv]

i have no idea where your going with this conversation.

[nascargavin8]

neither do i.

[waltsa200]

I have the photos out of a 1967 stock Car Racing magizine! The G force has Johnny's head & left shoulder out of the car window opening. Note his arm also extended straight out!!

[01012159]

to people looking for the arm sticking straight out - 8 seconds.

[pcm61774]

I remember that accident from Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart" video.

[aptg95]
