@scottmhoward Looking at the condition of the ground, The car hit the wall then went airborne. (search "Phil Finney Daytona" for what the airborne part looked like) it hit the ground hard then wipped around counter clockwise once(engine fell out) then once more to come to a stop in the middle of the track. Ive studied this wreck since it happend, and this is a very close prediction to what it was.
if ESPN would care about ALL of the drivers instead of just the popular ones, they would have had it all over NASCAR(dot)com and they would have talked about it (like they did when carl had his wreck at talladega) but since elliot sadler isnt a "popular" one, he didnt get any kind of "attention" that lets say, jeff gordon, or tony stewart would
@khevvin48 I agree fully. That wreck could easily be one of the hardest hits that NASCAR could ever have without someone being seriously injured, and the best we got is a fan video from the infield of the track. ESPN screwed up big time on that one. I cant FATHOM a hit where you hit so hard the whole front end (engine rips off the motor mounts and transmission mounts where they bolt together, and the whole suspension) comes apart from the Chassis of the car. I said the same thing..."Oh my God."
@KKFan9 I can imagine it, its not the first time its happened. Don MacTavish's crash at Daytona was the most brutal, terrible crash in Nascar's history RIP (the video is hard to watch). The entire front end was sheared away all the way to the drivers seat leaving him exposed only to be hit be another car head on going 170. From the description it sounds very similar to what happened to Mike Harmon's AND Michael Waltrip's cars at Bristol.
It looks like when he hit the wall it got up on the right side and spun around then landed back down

It's a miracle that Elliott survived.
