NASCAR Craftsman Trucks at Daytona 2000: (pt.8/16)

[mreed91]

The 10 seems to focus on the Cup Series.

[BRN14fan]

one of the most death defying crashes EVER. surprised it wasn't on The 10 Closest Calls

[IndyB25]

What is a truck count?

[CookieDude1178999]

@IndyB25 Someone up top for ESPN would have counted how many trucks were left, and which ones they were. That way they could say who it was that was upside-down.

Watched this happen when I was six years old. My mom was crying, and my dad was cursing the tv. First time we sat down and watched a truck race was this one.

[IndyB25]

@CookieDude1178999 Thank you for telling me what that is....I could imagine if I was there I'd be going crazy.

[mtblillie]

Forget all the people watching it on TV, can you imagine being one of the people sitting in the first couple rows where Bodine hit the fence!? I would poo myself!

[RipCurlRules2188]

who were the commentators

[Chihuahuaman2]

uhhhhh... oh my...

[killer44494]

who won this race

[wildbeemer]

@killer44494 - keep watching and find out lol

[rockypc24]

@killer44494 do u really wanna know who won?

[gobackto82]

@killer44494 Mike Wallace

[Chihuahuaman2]

the commentators were speechless.

[xofefeox]

way to go AAA FENCE COMPANY!

[wcwfan33412]

wow there like YA MAN HAHA O THIS IS GONNA HURT... o ....... o no

[wcwfan33412]

CRUD I WISH I SAW THIS LIVE

[wcwfan33412]

cool truck at 5:06

[TheRoverjackson]

Wow! To this day, I still can't believe how the 1986 Daytona 500 winner, Geoff Bodine survived this near-fatal crash. I mean I thought he was killed on national television. But somehow, he did. God was on his side that day.

[penske369]

Not gonna lie, but Marty Reid's comment at the beginning of the wreck was totally uncalled for. I mean, sure, he had NO idea how bad it was going to be, but still, you don't say something stupid like that. Now he's ESPN's pretty boy on both NASCAR and IndyCar telecasts.....ok sorry, rant over haha.

[TonyPizzaro]

@penske369 who cares, the man almost cried after he saw the crash

[Philip83151]

@penske369 just wondering, how was that uncalled for?

[penske369]

@Philip83151 I just don't think no matter what in any type of crash you say something stupid like "this is gonna hurt!" Idk, maybe I just can't stand Marty Reid (which I do strongly dislike him haha), but does that make sense? What's wrong with just "we've got trouble" like he started? And, like I said before, nobody had any idea it would be as bad as it was, but it just seems over the top like you're trying to make it sound cool. I've never heard Paul Page or Bob Jenkins say things like that.

[Philip83151]

@penske369 well ur right in a sense i guess lol. and marty reid isnt the best commentator out there haha. gotta agree with u. but ya i see what ya mean now

[ETA2359]

it was pretty horrifying to see it in person, too!! Scariest thing I've ever witnessed!!

[MortifiedPenguin275]

How horrifying it must have been to see this live on tv or in person.

[wildbeemer]

@MortifiedPenguin275 - i did see it on tv as it happened and i was mortified for sure - he had to have been dead in my mind, especially since they werent showing replays right after the crash (before they showed Bodine on the gurney)

[3fan4eva]

@MortifiedPenguin275 Yeah I was eight and I was at my grandma's house and we both watched it and we both thought Geoff was dead....we looked at each other in shock and disbelief. And neither of us said anything for several minutes

[AngerIsOurGift]

@MortifiedPenguin275 - I just remember my dad saying "He's dead."

It was more stunning than anything else.

[awz121]

@MortifiedPenguin275 i remember watchin this live....only reason i got to was because we had a snow day from school.

[GSMR1702]

i bet the commentators thought he was dead. you can just tell, even when they thought they were off the air they didnt say much

[JakeTV370]

6:49 dead silence, not common in a nascar race...

[dunnlapradd]

@wildbeemer i never noticed that crash was fatal but that was near fatal crash and i wanna know how did that truck exploded and how bad was the fence and the truck and how many trucks are still left when they got through?

[wildbeemer]

@dunnlapradd who said anything about this crash being fatal? it wasnt - after the crash, there were only about 10 or so trucks on the lead lap

[evilwatermelon]

i wish the trucks would run 4 plate races like the other series'

[jinglebell61]

We got trouble. This is gonna hurt.

[xXBrokenPlatypusXx]

at about 7:43 the guy said oh damn cause he thought they werent on the air!

[MegaNucka]

i saw that on TV and i thought he was dead instantly

[AutoRockinRacing94]

10 years today when this happened

[AutoRockinRacing94]

hard to believe that it will be 10 years tomorrow when this happened.

[rustyshackleford01]

Im sure it has gone unnoticed to most of you, but great pass by Setzer on the inside at 4:44

[MortifiedPenguin275]

I look at that crash today and i'm still scared.

[ARNRF67]

When I first saw this live, I just knew the driver was dead....didn't know who was in the truck at the time of the crash...I was shocked and relieved to find out later that Geoff was alive.

[yowaso13]

we can all agree he should have been dead but damn good he survived

[MortifiedPenguin275]

@BigBob8824 it was 2.5 hours.

[BigBob8824]

HOW LONG WAS THE RED FLAG?

[wildbeemer]

i cant exactly remember, but it was definately over 2 hours - i think the time was mentioned in the other videos

[BigBob8824]

WHAT a HUGE & SCARY CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[racingformusic]

Worst Nascar Truck Crash EVER!!! No Question about it.

[talladegajunkie1439]

@racingformusic , Worst Crash ever, next to the wreck in '55.

[nascarfan9000]

To me that crash was scary as friday the 13th.

[jamespic]

Unbelievable!!!!!

[rockypc24]

this werck proves that god is real he took care of geoff

[anthonystuart69]

@rockypc24 geoff had a near-death experience-in the middle of the wreck, his hand was cupped like he was holding something, but he was unconscious, he says that was his father(who had died by then) reaching out and telling him "it's not your time yet"

[wildbeemer]

because of such a great closing rate on the truck in front of them

bump-drafting in the corner is never a good idea, restrictor-plate racing or not! lol

[GruntofAction]

The sound of the truck coming to pieces on the fence almost makes you queasy.

[maxipads1441]

Wow the Commentaters had me feeling teary eyed

[rks29]

Wow! this is still the craziest crash i have ever seen!

[gordonfan200]

Awesome video. Thanks for the upload.

[burtonfan2]

i've waited for this forever. thank you

[OldSchoolNascar]
