2007 IRL Michigan Dario Franchitti Flip Crash!!

[boivsam]

and one more proof that open wheelers at 350kph on oval track is plain stupidity...

[elizoxx971]

My friend Dario

has a super racer car

drives too fast

drives to flash

.......screeching on the tarmac xD

[NeilFraudstrong]

It's amazing how Dale Earnhardt's crash looked somewhat routine and not that bad, but this crash and Mario Andretti's crash looked fucking terrible and disastrous and they both ended up fine. Strange strange strange.

[aussiebattler85]

@NeilFraudstrong But at least in this incident the tub of the car held together. Probably wearing a HANS device as well. Dale Earnhardt didn't have one on I don't think.

[thehighlandboys]

love to see Indy Car come back to Michigan,(we were there)

[bugalaman]

they need to start keeping track of the height and length records when it comes to flips.

[marabino18]

this what I call a miracle . OMG

[Raveneyes]

The Flying Scotsman :D

[LoopInc]

should have taken a few heads off

[titaniumtori]

Dario had someone watching out for him that time

[throxnet]

does indy car have any safety feature at all like F1 ?

[DsturbedFan728]

wow did u see how fast that car went airborne? anyway why did it take a couple seconds for the announcers to realize that there was a car flying on the backstretch

[KnightofCrook2488]

@DsturbedFan728 i know no shit! ESPN SUCKS

[DsturbedFan728]

@KnightofCrook2488 yea thats espn for ya...

[penske369]

Actually the more I look at it, I think the sound is a bit delayed on this...if you look at the shot from the wall cam a few seconds before, the sound from that shot comes a little after that, because I'm pretty sure both Scott and Marty's reactions weren't that delayed. But Marty still sucks haha

[DsturbedFan728]

@penske369 yeah maybe haha. and now he's covering every single NASCAR race on ESPN and ABC. this is gonna be bad lol but Jerry Punch was worse. thank God he's back in the pits. but Marty says the same thing at the start of every race:

The (insert year here) (insert racing series here) at (insert racetrack here) is GREEN!

Example: The 2010 Izod IndyCar Series at St. Petersburg is GREEN! lol good imitation eh?

[penske369]

@DsturbedFan728 Lol very good imitation! I agree Punch wasn't too good. He's one of those people that's a strong pit reporter but a lousy booth person (kinda like Jack Arute in a way).

But....who else does ESPN have? They probably think Paul Page is too old (despite the fact that he still does NHRA), and Bob Jenkins is at Versus. Shame, ABC/ESPN used to have some of the best announcers :(

[DsturbedFan728]

@penske369 yeah Bob Jenkins was the best play by play guy

[ROBLOXdude95]

@penske369 Ned Jarrett, BP and Mike Joy are my faves. Mike still does NASCAR on Fox.

[penske369]

@KnightofCrook2488 Well, Marty Reid sucks haha

[villy27]

Franchitti was very lucky first surviving and second taking Scott Dixon with him. Then that won him the championship!

[NASCARWWEclubpenguin]

@EvilGundamMiester112,r u kidding me?? dan was just in the inside of Dario and went to the right,so it means that wasnt an OVERTAKE ATTEMPT.

[Iracercstr2122]

@NASCARWWEclubpenguin Franchitti moved down a little if you look.

[firecat318]

i wonder if he got clearance to takeoff before that.... what a sight !

[bluetoothboy24]

dat was scary wit a car crashin like dat

[normalboy64]

this audio is messed up

[Thisisroto]

you/re vidios are cool

[kimifan06]

that's how open-wheel racing works; when two spinning wheels touch, this sometimes happens.

[WW2obsession]

I wanna go back to Michigan for races now =(

[xobrentox]

The cars used to go 30 mph faster then this at MIS and never get airborne quite like that.

[DeathrupterDS]

you see the problem, the cars are way to light these days, when the go flying in the air like that, the wind just carries the car like a feather which allows the wind to tilt the car over.

[Coolkast]

that doesn't matter, the cars are upsidedown planes.. once the air is getting underneath the car will fly. the same as other highperformance racecars (Like Formula 1)

[ParagonB]

I agree. Now that they have multiple road course races they should have the triple-Crown series with three 500 mile races. The big one at Indy, one at Michigan and one at another 2 mile track.

[raichiotto]

If the folks at Pocono would hurry up and get the place repaved I'd vote for that place.

[slompappy]

would LOVE to see Indy Cars at Pocono again!

[UltimateEEnEFan]

I was at this race.

[THEkingjaymz]

They shouldn't have taken it off the schedule. hopefully they'll bring it back soon

[UltimateEEnEFan]

I agree.

[AVictorRex]

Where were you sitting?

[UltimateEEnEFan]

Frontstrech.

[jamespic]

It Looked Like A Crash In NASCAR Racing At A Restrictor Plate Race!!!!!

[fakissimodofake]

Weldon is the Hitman!

[Jesteria78]

Wheldon should only be allowed to ride on pizza delivery scooters for his entire life.

[hirokram]

in fairness, its not like hes incapable of driving

he did win the title in 05, so he knows what hes doing

[pajasa62]

Franchitti's careless flip at the finish line of the very next race was even more shocking.

[premiumtap]

The guy that run into him had all the luck in the world. Three wide doing 225 miles an hour, as spectacular as this kind of racing is running openwheelers on an oval is insanity.

[therrydicule]

Insanity, no... A lot of safety is take, and that why they are only at 225 mph.

[shindogg]

looks like what happens when i play a racing game on my computer. its fun to watch but those drivers are lucky.

[smmikeman]

what?! u copy this from wwetnaecw?....

[Jizzle76]

That was entirely Wheldon's fault. He just drifted into him. Dick.

[Fransdeb]

Oh my gooood

[smacky12235]

holy shit.

[longhornsUT]

i was watchin it

[formuladc]

yes, wow

[kingmatt3267]

wow
