  • #88 shoudl've turned. If his car had a steering wheel. Which, since it's ARCA, it probably didn't. This one is tragic.

  • @Racecarwrecks in wrecks like that the simple act of turning isnt always as easy as it sounds.

  • What a horrible way to die..

  • Rest in peace

  • sorry if i sound stupid but how did he die? it didnt look highspeed and the car that was jammed did not look as it were jammed close to the drivers area - or maybe i am wrong. just curious

  • @ro7477  burned alive...

  • The Sportsman class messed up more guys. A lot of dumb shitheads drove in this class.

  • the crashs are why we watch we dont like seeing death but we like crashes. thats why racers race bc they like to go fast and love adrenalin What more can u expect from the american pastime that started in the money and high speed police chases during prohibition

  • @tsharpmac420

    really? crashes are the only reason we watch? no respect for racing then? ok. gotcha. didn't know that about myself.

  • @aesuttoni didnt say nething about not respecting racing douche. the main reason i love and respect racing is the split second decsions at high speeds and the potential for serious injury or death every time a car gets on the track.

  • I have a feeling that a lot of you american nascar fans .. deep down accually go to these races to see something like this happen. it is very boring race.. but high speed mean high chance of crash/death. that is a very american way of racing.

  • @Timmahhh86 You think we go to see races to watch death? You should look at yourself. Here you are commenting on a death video.

    Think about it.

    Nascar is much better racing than F1. They only pass each other in the pits.

  • @kingpins9 F1 is kinda cool but NASCAR is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better

  • @kingpins9 I can see by your comments that you have never seen an F1 race. And it´s better that way. Have fun with your Nascar going around and around and around and around and around... Just describing it it´s boring.. and around and around and around..

  • @JONICRACHATLEITAO You like your racing, we like ours. Don't bash our motorsport.

  • Don't they have fire retardant suits now?? 

  • @CosmicDestroyer99 They did then but they only last for a certain amount of time.

  • why didnt the 88 car try to remove his car so then gary batson could have gotten out?

  • and he was trying to if you look at his wheels. it's not that easy to turn the other direction when you are sliding in one.

  • I was driving an enduro car car at Caraway Speedway the same night this happened. A fuel cell got ruptured that night and caught on fire. The guys at the track took a 59 ford fire truck jumped out with shorts on and put the fire out like it was nothing. What you don't see in this clip is that the fireman started spraying the fire at the bottom of the track while Gary was burning at the top. I guess he was trained that way (no common sense).When I saw the clip I was screaming spray the driver!!!!

  • @1SixpenceFan the priority was actually to spray the base of the fire . this would eliminate the flame . it was just fated that he passed away in the car . RIP .

  • @budkbelozzz The flame that the no common sense fireman was spraying was where the gas ran down the track.

    It was two feet wide or so and went all the way up the banking to the car.

    He was forty feet (give or take) away from the driver spraying a two or three feet wide flame, nothing like going into a burning house where you have to fight the fire as you get to it.

    If I remember correctly when the rest of the firemen got there they aimed straight for the driver but precious time had passed.

  • @1SixpenceFan i see . man . .... i believe its the fireman's fault .

  • i dont know who is to blame but i do know racers know everytime they strap in it could be there last ....they know if there is enough safety crew at spots all around the track they know if they have a chopper on site or close or a ambulance.....but most times they race........no matter what...its a tragic loss.....just racing.....

  • R.I.P. but how it can die like that?

  • @MrBlooDudette Lol he's dead. Get a life, you piece of shit.

  • Why didn't the 88 car pull away from the crash so maybe it'd be easier for gary to get out? rip

  • @MrBlooDudette "He" made more money in his short career than your whole poor inbred fucking family ever will.

  • @BudzMcgr33n Me, poor and inbred? Im not the one judging people by their actions.

  • @MrBlooDudette Not anymore he isn't, the fire took care of that!

  • @Polybun ^_^

  • wat a dumbass

  • why didn't dickhead #88 steer away from the wall??

  • How'd Batson die with a FIREPROOF suit on?

  • @ROBLOXdude95 Well you dont see it in this video but there is just a horendous fire and he more than likely died from smoke inhalation. He also sadly could have been burned very badly on his face because like most drivers back then, he more than likely had a open face helmet

  • @3fan4eva Ohhh, I forgot about that.... :P

  • @ROBLOXdude95 a fireproof suit protects you for a small period of time,so that you can get to safety.if the fire burns for more than 30secs,it just melts.mankind hasn't invented yet a material that is 100% fireproof and also allows you to move freely.

  • Ive been to LMS 4 times and have seen lots of bad crashes and this one does not look as bad as alot of them Ive seen but NASCAR had gotten alot safer sence then.

  • stupid races - stupid cars - get real cars on real tracks

  • @jamecontent douchebag

  • @10secondfunnys I didn't expect more : you're half american so half stupid

  • Rest In Peace Gary

  • Isn't this the same corner that Russell Phillips crashed like that but the car was facing the other side three years later?

  • @SharkysDeathVids poor little guy need some attention?

  • He burned to death because he couldn't get out of his car...

  • Nascar is just stupid and not that great to watch , Touring car races are way better . And they have some skills , not saying that nascar is easy but c'mon , just going round and round ? Are there any real streets or roads like that ?

  • @doldei the m25 in England

  • @TGTAP lolololol

  • @TGTAP Gatso cameras must love you then ...

  • @doldei DAMN RIGHT BITCH lol

  • @doldei Lets see you do it at almost 200mph...Dick.

  • @TheoneGodfather I'll do it in reverse !

  • @doldei Okay. I love GT. But there is no such thing as a 'skill-less' race. No such thing. It's 200 miles per hour with inches to spare between you and the guy at your right side. It's not about you racing the clock, it's about you racing the other guys at high speed in close quarters. Let's see you do that on the interstate while worrying if that guy ahead of you is going to lose traction and go ass end into a wall.

  • @ArmadeusXxC I know, the wind tunnel and the drag are some quite interesting factors in this sport. The shaping of the bodywork also rings my bell. I was just being a bit of an asshole though. Was I ? But dude , there will never be " that guy ahead of you " , that's how good I am ...

  • I just came across this video and wish I hadn't. This was my uncle. That being said This was a devastating time for my family and I can't believe the amount of disrespect some people can have for others. Tomorrow May 15th is the day this took place for those who asked. Gary was and remains the Bravest man I know.

  • @bubs032 i feel sorry for what happened, and for people who comment this way . if i were u i d ask the owner ofthe video to block- cancel the ones who comment that way.

    anyway, your brave and famous uncle wont suffer from that

    RIP

  • wow like a dude died in this video and you idiots are arguing theology. arent there other places for that?

  • RIP Baston

  • This is EXACTLY why we have spotters!

  • its ur balls. just sit on ice.

    what an asshole.

    rip gary

  • well we know you're going to hell now, then you can burn; and this we will enjoy as we are watching down from above

  • hell is imaginary, just like your god... when you die you won't be 'watching down' on anybody... you will rot in the ground where maggots will tear into your flesh... you will have no consciousness... i'm sorry to break it to you kid, this is the fate that awaits us all.

  • ok we'll see about that..."kid"

  • What about, not being able to create or destroy matter? Our energy will go somewhere.

  • @MrCorpseNeverDies You're right, you can't prove Gd's existence, but you can't disprove it either. And I don't know about you, but I'd much rather live like there is a God & find out there's not, than to live like there ain't one, & find out there is. So I got one question for you, what if I'm right & you're wrong? You'll burn eternally, & I personally don't like the idea of that

  • @jrt88fan I meant to put "God" in the 1st sentance, not Gd

  • @jrt88fan Most of the people youve ever cared about will burn eternally too,boohoo.

  • @TheoneGodfather heartless, soul-less bastards who disrespect these racers! Send them into a pitt, soaked in gasoline, and light a match!

  • As I recall, there is (was) an automatic shutoff that keeps fuel from flowing out of the tank when the car is upside down - but because of the angle the car was hung at, the shutoff didn't work, allowing a major fire. I believe that since then, the shutoff has been changed.

  • i have to admit,a weird crash.

  • If this happend in the car now, nobody would get killed.

  • @vakelius Not even an Injury maybe

  • @vakelius If 1992 were now then it wouldn't be 1992.

  • @vakelius I would say otherwise. Today, this is the only way a driver will die on the racetrack is in a wreck similar to this.

  • @PorygonFanatics or if someone lands on him.

  • how did he die i don't really understand english

  • Comment removed

  • he had severe burns

  • RIP Gary Batson.

  • Nice comment. Finally someone who actually commented on the video posted, and not weather sumwun can speel or not, or by making personal attacks with a keyboard.

    I had hoped to read some comments on the late Gary Batson, but all i got was a love quarrel where the keyboard commando's clearly needed some quiet time, maybe some kenny G, and a bottle of passion pop.

    Get a room, and keep your crap out of here.

    And yes, i meant to miss speel some words.

  • Does anybody know what month this happened in?

  • WTF, I just saw this at voypics.

  • tht almost looks like russel philips crash

  • i can imagine being burned alived. Just hoped he knew Christ.

  • sutch a shame for the poor gy you gotta figure he was screaming for help and any one whos been around the sport knows that thats a very rare accident especaly with the cars to get stuck in that mannor but things happen RIP

  • @bubslate did you just spell such with a t? RIP

  • @bubslate Can anyone spell on YouTube? "mannor"?

  • @mreed91 I guess it doesn't mattor.

  • @mreed91 grammer nazi

  • @a7xxfoREVer1 yep that's me. No grammar for you!

  • how the fuck can you say that someone should hit u doin 180 and see how it feels then when youre dead ill laugh and say owned like a fucking asshole, thats what you did which makes you a massive bag of douche

  • lol weired

  • You are a real piece of work you worthless fucking bastard! Hope you bitch mother and bastard father shot their selves. Fucking asshole

  • wtf? he died from the sparks, wich he was badly burned at, not from his obesity

  • What they don't show in this video is that both cars became fully involved in flames. I'm actually surprised that you're not smart enough to know that some sparks mixes with many gallons of racing gasoline will make a lot of fire. Wow.

  • you dont understand...... i was talking to a guy who said he died from his obesity. For your information i'm actually smart to no this actually happen. he was badly burned from sparks and from how the leak came out. watch my comment before you put your own comment. thank you =)

  • see watch?v=AGopMt0LUI4&eurl for the full video if you want.

  • how did he die? that wasnt even bad did his belts snap or something?

  • the video was censored, but the cars caught fire and the driver on top of the other car couldn't get out.

  • burns.

  • yeah if number 88 would have turned left this wouldnt have happened but i bet its the nascar peoples fault cause they wouldnt get there head out of there ass to make safety stuff

  • yup a damn shame hes gone....rip

  • Nascar Sportsman Series was not aired in Brazil in 1992, so I had not seen this accident for a good decade. DirtTrax68, thanks for posting it. Rest in peace, Gary Batson.

  • if only the retard in the 88 would have turned left

  • And I meant that for bmak

  • The Man Died more Bravely in a dangerous sport then all these sick commenting sissies who probably cry like 4 year olds over a stubbed toe. You Cowards.

  • amen brother

  • Comment removed

  • You've gotta be one sick individual if your being serious!

  • Comment removed

  • damn your a fucked up peice of shit

  • youre probably going to hell for saying that

  • Hell doesn't exist, darling.

  • burning to death is the worst! that's a shame. lol

  • Don't put an "lol" after it..

  • It's rare to see a NASCAR car burn so violently in this modern-age, especially with the driver still inside.. :(

    A real tragedy indeed. RIP.

  • Why must people make fun of somone dying? What if I told you that Gary was my father? What if I told you that he left a wife, 3 kids behind? Contributed more that 1 million dollars to the cancer foundation and other various orgs? What if I told you that becuase of this accident that his mother who was 71 at the time, had a massive stroke on the news of his death? Would you still feel the same way? It's easy to make fun of OTHERS, but not so fun when it's YOU. Think about it. Say your sorry!

  • Pay no attention to TheArabianGoggle, he's been recently writing stupid posts on several fatal motor-racing crashes. He must be just another internet troll trying to get some attention in a very stupid and immature way; he probably doesn't even know what motor-racing is!...

  • first i would say that u were an idiot for revealing personal information on the interwebs.

    then on a lighter note i would ask if u saw this amusing vid showing some man/pig genetic fusion getting roasted into yummy mcbacon.

    lol...lol...gooooooofball...u jerk it..r u queer?

  • I would rather drown than to be burned to death. RIP Gary.

  • hey McRat1968

    if your so educated and your "too cool" for nascar, why the hell are you on youtube watching a nascar videos, get a life you worthless piece, go suck a fat one you cock muncher.

    oh and "PS:" you ferry:

    i guarantee almost everyone involved in nascar makes more money in one year than you will ever see in your life. go eat some cheese and sip on a glass of wine you turd tickler.

  • 20 years old and you can't spell "you're" or "fairy"...???!!!

    Child, please go away before you make a bigger fool of yourself.

    Your age is, clearly, also your I.Q.

    You're done.

  • thats his low IQ from all that southern sun he gets.....lol

    and all the moon shine he drinks at the track...LOL

    he needs to get back to the trailer and craink up some country music and bang his sister....LOL and drink an ample amount of cheep beer and do donuts with the lawn mower he has modded to race...LOL

  • lol look at you you can't even spell crank right!!!

  • NEEEERRDDD FIGHT!!!! LOL!

  • the 88s a tool. pinched him up against the wall and left him there. are we missing something like a fireball or flames.

  • Thats sucks his car was like that and the other driver scrambles away.

  • lol, pretentious youtube debates

  • "Uneducated?!" I hold a Double-Major in Global Business Ethics and a PHD in Psychology! I am a doctor! I very seriously doubt you could hold a candle to my qualifications & /or ethics in life, or debate! Your name dipicts your true soul and character ("RAT"). Yes, I will win this battle, "my son" be assured of that! See those that will be in favor of me, instead of you on comments to come!

  • Comment removed

  • Ohhh, and by the way:  someone with the degrees you falsely claim to possess would know how to spell "depicts."

    As for anyone who would speak in favor of you, I'm sorry: your redneck uncles who fondle you in bed every night do not count. Nepotism is your only claim-to-fame in your life.

  • I'm not done with you yet...As for the mis-spelled word I was in a hurry, because I don't like wasting my time on ignoramuses like yourself. By the way it's called "Drafting" NOT "Tailgaiting" as you described the NASCAR move above. And no, to answer your question, I've never been raped by anyone unlike yourself, I'm sure! The problem with you is that you enjoy it too much and keep going back for more!

  • You most certainly are done.

    Just like your previous infantile statements, they resemble a commode. (They're full of sh*t, as are you.)

    I'm surprised you didn't try to invent some MORE wonderful accomplishments in your life besides those imaginary degrees and doctorates you've earned and what-not.

    You remind me of an idiot on a school-reunion website I saw a few years ago who had no life whatsoever but every day glorified himself as dating a supermodel and holding public office etc.

  • Well, "depicts" IS a hard word to spell right. Some people might spell it "decipts", some might spell it "detipcs"(LMAO. Only RETARDS would spell it like that!) some might spell it "dicipts" and other people, like fistteam, might spell it "dipicts" LOL.

  • McRat, sounds to me like you're the one that has been "Disillusioned by a priest at some point during your sad life!" Maybe you were raped "choir-boy", maybe your bitter about your sad existence and the fact people like you are why this earth is now such a "bad" place?!? But don't bring your hatred of GOD in here, blaming your sorry-ass for what your father, mother or priest might have done to you as a child! Get a life, Loser!

  • You're wrong on all counts. My life is wonderful; and I never had any dealings with priests, if you must know.

    My life revolves around reality & the people who embrace reality. (Not fairy tale.)

    It's too bad that uneducated people like you mistake statements of truth and blunt honesty as someone venting a sad childhood. ...You must be speaking from experience.

    PS: I'd gladly share with you the places I've visited in this world; but, by the sounds of you, you only know bible geography.

  • mcrat stop with the dam noncense before i put ur face through a wall

  • ...Before you pu tmy face through a wall???

    Silence yourself, poor pathetic child. Threatening someone online...?! You poor sort. I've heard of people who live their entire lives in the confines of their mommy's basement. And you, dear sir, are the poster child for this dissociative mental condition.

    PS: You probably imagine yourself as having had a very successful social life, as well; but, alas, sitting iny our room jacking off to pictures of supermodels doesn't count.

  • at least wen i die im not gonna sit in a firey pit with the devil

  • No, you won't be in a fiery pit. When you die, you're going to be with the rest of us: 6 feet under ground, being a succulent feast for worms.

    Everything you were brainwashed into believing in Sunday School is false, child. There's no devil or god. There's just reality--and intelligence. ,,,(Two things which are clearly foreign concepts to you, unfortunately.)

    You're done.
