1984 Talladega 500 - Trevor Boys Flip

[racefan32]

I thought he did this a Charlotte as well?

Anyhow I've met Trevor, Wheeler. very nice Family.

[thegusman11]

YES! why won't 48 car flip these days and Jimmie johnson has to know what rolling over feels like btw crazy crash

[TonyPizzaro]

hes lucky as hell that car didn't go flying

[yodog678]

"Just like a fucking horse"

- Ned Jarret

XD i know he didn't say it but it sounds like it.

[Busch18Kyle]

looks like ricky rudd's flip at daytona

[patrickdron]

that was wild.

[bc1271]

Interesting that his window net came undone during the flip.

[MrHartfordHockey]

why wont the 48 flip???

[jordan2921]

48 flipped back then, why cant it keep flipping now?

[nascarsignore]

trevor still races. he attempted to qualify the #06 car in a couple races for a texas-based team

[ralphiemayphan]

an untied shoe was the least of Trevor's worries that day!

[AjAllmendinger84]

Ha I love how the pit road reporter said "They need a caution" and then 4 seconds later a car goes flipping LOL.

[Beavis2828]

This was my first cup race. This wreck started right in front of where I was sitting.

[69nova454]

does speed tv show the full races?

[AutoRockinRacing94]

He tired to make the race at Phoenix on Friday.

[jdubbz14454]

hes commin out of retirement at pheonix

[DirtTrax68]

No window net?

[burtonfan2]

it came undone i think

[leobold1]

At 3:16, when the car rocks back slightly just before leaving the pavement and into the grass, it looks like you can see the white helmet clearly.

I'm not sure there is a window net there at all. I'm not too familiar with pre-1990 NASCAR cars.

Did they have window nets in '84?

[DialgaRules24]

ya it got ripped off and then fell inside the car

[hookups]

almost the exact type of crash as rudd at daytona.

[Flakman129]

hahaha hell no.

Getting airborne is the only similarity.

[gadgefan48]

I never knew BP worked a few races for CBS

[taylaa123]

thats my uncle!

[UltimateEEnEFan]

Neat!

[roryfixkar]

Really? Do you know if he's gonna keep trying to qualify for more races this year? I hope he makes the Richmond race.

[tekwar2001]

Supposedly he's going to be competing with the Rolling Thunder Modifieds at Shenandoah Speedway on June 16th.

[R6easy]

where I can download this kind of old NASCAR videos?

[rodan70]

I wished the cars still sounded like this and were this fast! I miss those days...

[e521soediv]

the SPEED channel? really? what time

[ralphiemayphan]

That poor #48

[e521soediv]

is there a current channel now where they show classic nascar races becuase i want to know becuase i really want to whatch classic nascar races

[kingofrunescapepking]

speed, espn classic

[Ernde38]

Nice timing Mike Joy...LOL.

[wolves16]

Its amazing to see how easily the cars could get airborne back then...

[carguysn]

a rare CBS appearance in the booth by Benny Parsons

[e521soediv]

the cot is better loking in a way it looks "old school"

[eviltman]

cars were better looking back then ':-I

[PeterMullock]

totally agree... that COT is a mess

[eviltman]

quo vadis, brian france?

[aptg95]

the COT makes the cars not race good at restrictor plate races

[BadBooking]

Talladega was a experiment, so that one really doesn't count. However, Daytona sucked in 2008 for the same reason it did last year (until the last 50 laps of course): tires wore away as soon as they were put on the car due to hot conditions and a VERY slick racetrack. All I mean is that give these things until the end of the year, it might get very interesting.

[PYLrulz1984]

I didnt think Daytona sucked this year. I thought the cars were able to break up into smaller packs (one thing NASCAR wanted to try and lessen the chances of a big wreck), but just as much passing was happening.

[BadBooking]

To each his own I guess. Watching the Shootout and the 150's, the 500 felt like a step down. That's my in most humble opinion.

[aptg95]

I posted that before even the Stewart/Busch Thing happened... sorry, ya it was actually a great speedweeks

[roryfixkar]

well the 500 didn't have a proper ending, if it were al 200 laps, it might've been like the 2008 Daytona 500.

[O5fan]

2 points races, 2 last-lap passes for the win. What I am missing?

[ShyteKreek46]

I miss Ned, Ken, and BP.

[elvis334]

Ditto

[burtonfan2]

the flip undid the windownet!

[cerberus1981]

Davey Allison's flip at Pocono in '92 did the same thing. Boys was lucky to escape unharmed; Davey suffered a broken arm and a severe concussion when his head and *right* arm flailed out the window during his flip.

[nascarmaniac1]

nope, he isnt racing for HK, he is racin for himself, the odd busch race. The hk deal fell apart before it even started. I was with him on saturday, no more HK. He is running modifieds in western Canada, calgary.

[goreds03]

wat ever happen to him when he retire and did he ever win

[SeanPuffyCombs9]

he did retire , but is now racing for the newly-founded h&k motorsports team in the busch series

[Twister243]

"spinning... crashing!!" lol

[DieKolkrabe]

He really IS famous for this :P

Incidentally he's in this weekends NBS race at Montreal...no space for him to repeat this though

[jazzbo1974]

i here hes trying to make a come back in cup hmm bad idea him and old james hylton need to retier before someone goets hurt

[canadaincat]

if i wanted any cum back i would have scraped the roof or your mouth bitch! is your name jizz?

[wolves16]

Yeah, when did Speed show this? All I ever see is the Daytona 500 from 79 till... 04 ish.

[battalionfan888]

2002 thats the only time i ever saw any of the nascar classics shows on speed, and yea all they usually did was the 500 from 79-00 i also saw the 00 pepsi 400 and this race

[BadBooking]

@battalionfan888 I also saw a couple of old Michigan races too.

[zuel660]

When did SPEED show this? I would love it if CBS Sports would release remastered DVD's of the Daytona & 'Dega races that they covered from 79 through the '80's. I miss seeing these cars & races without restrictor plates at these tracks.

[timlinisabeast]

It was on in like 2002-2005 called NASCAR Classics, They Only showed Daytona 500s and this race

[bknightshadow45]

Also the Ernie Irvan's last win in 1997. NASCAR Classics was only CBS races that was showned on Speed Channel and Sun Sports.

[O5fan]

A few car lengths? lol

[O5fan]

Yeah, I knew that he never flipped over. That's why I'm waiting to see 48 flip, lol. I assume you like him and I am not with you on that but I think we all can agree to this: WHAT A RACE TONIGHT!

[fwayndo1]

you can see his head snap out the window for a second at 19. thats why nascar mandated the window nets after a similar incident happened to richard petty in which he slammed his head on the pavement.

[O5fan]

When blowovers were a new thing. Hey when is that going to happen to the 48 car again?

[battalionfan888]

LOL

[RealRacer2442]

Thx for uploading this. I've been wondering what wreck this was since I saw this flip on one of the crash comps I've seen before.

[sixflags48]

why have i never seen this

[Ruddfan1997]

I never knew that BP announced for CBS back in the 80's
