HD 2003 EA Sports 500 Elliot Sadler Flip Talladega

[AUS0M3]

you know that hurt



[justin12mcroberts]

Elliott has had some hard hits in his career

[jrfan07]

In regard to the sound comments below, the old cars had a higher pitch scream because a different exhaust system was used back then. The size of the restrictor plate has nothing to do with it. The penske dodges use a different exhaust from most teams now and if you listen closely to them when they're by themselves, they sound like the old cars :)

[IkusaGT]

@jrfan07 Oh thanks

[IkusaGT]

The sound has nothing to do with the COT it has to do with the restrictor plate. The plates on the cars in this video were larger than the ones today

[STP43FAN1]

@IkusaGT Actually I think the sound has to do with the gearing - they're turning far more RPMs now than they did in 2003.

[Lefht]

Sadler seems to always have hard impact wrecks lol

[biggamehunter2016]

@Lefht, so does ryan newman

[robert8and4fan]

i like those cars better than the stupid COTs

[ffdprocks2011]

@robert8and4fan agreed. these sound way cooler and are better than the COTs

[robert8and4fan]

@ffdprocks2011 tru dat

[ffdprocks2011]

@robert8and4fan \mm/

[robert8and4fan]

@ffdprocks2011 \m/ \m/

@robert8and4fan haha \mm/ 'mm/ \mm/

[445lok]

He finished in front of someone while in airbone INCREDIBLE

[jrfan07]

@445lok lol what?

[MrCubehead58]

Thumbs up if you were there!

[Cooldrewbrees]

@MrCubehead58 I love Elliot Iv'e Met Him In real life

[raichuisfat9]

This is like the Ricky Bobby wreck and it's talladega

[meemin1]

elloit sadler has the worst luck in nascar

[t20stewartfanjg]

2003 was just the year of flips wasnt it

[nascarfanatic2425]

Elliot Sadler's had some UGLY crashes throughout his career, hasn't he?

[TheHoodedCreature]

@nascarfanatic2425 3 flips, and the hardest recorded impact in the sport, yeah he has had some ugly crashes lol

[nascarfanatic2425]

@TheHoodedCreature This year, he was about to prove that he CAN win a championship, and that damn untalented Leffler had to ruin it.

[TheHoodedCreature]

@nascarfanatic2425 yeah its unfortuanate, but theres next year. his hopes are not dead yet

[nascarfanatic2425]

@TheHoodedCreature True. Mathematically, he could still win it this year. But for that to happen, Ricky Stenhouse would have to get in a wreck, blow his engine, or etc., and Elliot would have to win or get a top 5. I like Elliot, and even I knew he was due for a run for the championship. He's won in Cup, he's made the chase, I think Elliot's done enough to prove he's championship material.

[kingtimmeh]

i think this was the first nascar race i ever saw.....and this was the first thing i remember from it

[MsH1h1h1h1]

strange how people are happy at the end. the guy just got an accident and half dead

[RancheroBFT]

@MsH1h1h1h1 He climbed out under his own power, which means he is basically not seriously injured, that's why fans get noisy, to show theyre glad that he is okay, and to let him know they are.

[LostHighwayFilms]

If anybody ever watched "NASCAR Adrenaline", they interviewed Elliot Sadler and he says that he was attempting to dodge Dale Jr. when he came down and he went down in front of Busch. So that's how all that happened.

[sesselfurzer2000]

look at the windshield..

[WolfEverstone]

It's amazing how fast a car can go from scratch-less to absolutely totaled. :P

[C0LL1N]

I think they should let the hood and decklid fly off the car, it just looks way cooler!

[wes3tomcat]

@C0LL1N They did it so they wont go flying off into the grandstands and kill someone.

[sk8terboi142]

wow 

[NitrocideRacingGames]

epic

[Pergerson6]

He went airborne because he was going 200 mph when he went sideways! No roof flaps could have prevented that from happening.

[ACDCsuperfan91]

roof flaps dont do anything

[Bluestorm5]

Guys, the cars is going to get airborne no matter what. He got airborned because he got turned so fast... the best solution is "Shark Fin" which is supposed to slow down the turning, but even the forces are too strong sometime.

[bignascarman]

Awesome!

[dolphinmagic24fan]

They never bitched about going airborne then, why now?

[Winston2003]

Probably because the COT's wing and huge rear end only amplify blowovers, when it was supposed to be a safer car to begin with.

[bmxking46]

@Winston2003 i understand where your coming from, but is anyone getting hurt in the spectacular new wrecks? nope, so i fail to understand

[Winston2003]

@bmxking46 What kind of response is that? Obviously fans got hurt because of NASCAR's ignorance, and keeping the FANS safe is a higher priority than anything.

[bmxking46]

@Winston2003 well derp dah herp gurp, make the fences safer dont make the race boring

[Winston2003]

@bmxking46 Let me write that down in the "Things that make a whole lot of sense" book.

[bmxking46]

@Winston2003 lol

[DialgaRules24]

@Winston2003 NASCAR didnt do anything wrong dumbass you try to make a fence that can withstand a 2,000 pound car flying into it.

[Winston2003]

@DialgaRules24 How about making a car that isn't an airplane when turned backwards?

[DialgaRules24]

@Winston2003 almost impossible without making them have a speed limit of 140. if you can make a car that can go backwards at 180-200 mph without flying away, send it into NASCAR.

[Winston2003]

@DialgaRules24 I didn't say they could to fix the problem completely. The problem with the COT was the HUGE rear end area and the wing, which when turned backwards turned into a reverse gurney flap, which created lift. Don't get me wrong, when the old car turned backwards it also created lift. HOWEVER, the wing usually blocked air to the roof flaps so they became useless. The old car generally didn't have this problem. That's hwy usually cars that flipped were because they hit the apron.

[sk8erwill93]

Also you have to consider that in the Spring Taladega race, people in the stands got injured because of the crash...

[ajdavillae]

@dolphinmagic24fan I think when they created the CoT, they wanted to help that issue of the cars turnng over. They were supposed to be bigger and heavier. Everytime one of those cars got airborne, they came up with ideas to fix that problem. Now, the car has the spoiler back on it, and we have yet to see one of those babies fly.

[grandtheftautowwe]

@ajdavillae well we just had almandinger, i you get turn around at a high speed track like that, doesnt matter what car your in, what shape, its going over and the only way to stop it is to let them go 150 mph which would ruin the racing

[pistonhead2411]

@dolphinmagic24fan cuz pretty much everyone is a pussy now in the sport

[MrBigmike79]

@dolphinmagic24fan Because no one wants to end up like Dan fucking Wheldon. That's why. Imagine 5 years from now, some kid asking his mom, "Mommy, why isn't daddy here?" And having to tell that poor child, because the fans wanted a more "entertaining" or "exciting" race. That's why that child wouldn't ever be able to see his or her father, ever again. Call these drivers a "pussy" as much as you want. It takes a lot of fucking balls to go out every week and run 200 mph for 500 miles.

[PEPSIRACING2488]

great
