Donny Schatz fire

[ozdirtboy]

Did he survive the crash?

[w0lf65]

@ozdirtboy I think he had some minor burns, was racing again the next weekend

[Ministock85h]

@ozdirtboy yep, racing in New Zealand at the moment too

[Eisenbahner1A]

Did He Survive The CRASH...

[AnimeIuver1980]

Did he Schatz his pants during this?

[ALLAHDELLAH]

Just found out Donny is coming to race in NZ yeeeeh haaaaa. Hopefully its not as eventful as this.

[davizin1]

you can see the spark at 0:13-0:14 that caused the fire

[fencingderek]

did he die :(

[MrMegaWarrior]

@fencingderek No he is still racing. I saw him a couple of weeks ago.

[fencingderek]

@MrMegaWarrior good

[Cadidoit]

HAHA bitches talk shit now, schatz won the knoxville nationals for the 5th time...

[jimihendrixtribute]

@Cadidoit Yeah because the world of outlaws is just like the Sprint cup series in nascar. They all cheat. Come to a race when the PA Posse battles the Outlaws. The outlaws jump the gun by a mile and they don't restart, but if a posse car starts a hair before the line, they restart it. It's ridiculous..

[4812lane]

holy shit

[cdr72197]

not a fan of donny schatz but after coming out of that fire and winning a championship (4) i give him props for that.

[shaund4888]

I do not care what people say when I see deragatory STATEMENTS about anyone wishing someone one would DIE because of a Fire like this one Donny HAD I WILL SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY AND HOW I WANT TO SAY IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU CAN KISS MY ASS. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED when it COMES TO THOSE KIND OF COMMENTS YOU ARE AN OUTRIGHT HATER OF THAT DRIVER AND ARE NOT A FAN OF THE SPORT PERIOD!!

[DoctorWINOMD]

@shaund4888 die in a fire...

[linkinparkaz]

I would love to see any of you dissing Donny actually climb in one of these, go through this wreck, and then go back and race again and win 4 or 5 titles in a row like he did!

[jackG622]

mate i have seen schatz race here downunder,what he can do with a sprintcar,unbelievable,he is the best i have ever seen i give him all the my credits he is a gun and to all you wanna bees piss off.....

[papasjerky]

this happened when he raced for his own team family owned

[WhyAreYouSoFcuked]

ha ^

[dustin666555]

I was12 years old when I first flipped a sprint and had 3rd degree burns on my legs and arms and part of my face. So don't talk shit unless u hop in a damn sprint car and place 1st bitches!

[Phaedrus27]

@dustin666555 You, sir, are no Steven Kinser.

[RaoulnJoy]

i need that spoiler on my toyota

[StoneyPoint100]

Lol People were laughing and cheering.

[grizzskoalcope]

filmed with a calculator...

[shaund4888]

YOU DON"T SAY SHIT ABOUT MY FAMILY LIKE THAT AT ALL PEOPLE EVEN IF YOU DON"T LIKE HIM. SHOW SOME GOD DAMN RESPECT FOR ALL RACE CAR DRIVERS WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE THE DRIVER OR NOT. Donny's parents and GRANDPARENT BUSTED their ASSES in their restaruant Businees just to be able to afford to get Donny to this level in Sprint CARS. Donny is not spoiled in any manner. AS I SAID YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH MY FAMILY (Donny is a cousin of mine)!!

[fatkidincoat]

@shaund4888 People have there opinions. In the racing business you learn to ignore them before you get in trouble.

[hoosierredneck1]

@shaund4888 Remember this, opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Dont worry about the idiots saying shit about Donny, they are stands drivers.

[bigmacDL77]

I fucking hate Donny s. He a bitch he wouldn't even be racing in WoO if his daddy didn't give him his 1st ride in WoO. Fuck him!!!!!

[BobLeeSwagger01]

Fuck Donny Shatz. Go Slammin Sammy Swindell

[brandoncharleswilson]

OMG, did that guy die? Very terrible.

[spartadude6]

@brandoncharleswilson no he's still racing.

[XxxGRASSMANxxX]

tony didnt own his car when this happened, his dad was the owner at the time being.

[eckyspondoolie]

Looks like the car up and schatz itself.

[gewiz1000]

[Whitepride95]

Andy Forsburg is the shut

[daxmattxnxpaynxshow]

how fake

[AzuraFan49]

Wow...another reason I want to be a sprint car driver.

[adampietruszewski]

i live in schatz hometown and everyone hates him now because he was such a fucking wreckless jackass in grand forks last weekend. shoulda died in that crash, fucking bitch

[r2zibit]

@adampietruszewski wow u truly will go to hell

[adampietruszewski]

@r2zibit not my fault he's a complete douche bag asshole

[r2zibit]

@adampietruszewski wow u really must be a cunt he nearly died and your calling him a asshole get a life stop hating over utube

[adampietruszewski]

@r2zibit lol hating over youtube..i talked shit to his face, bet you wouldnt do that

[r2zibit]

@adampietruszewski why wud i want to talk shit to him he aint done nothing wrong? i chat shit to u face 2 face all day mate :)

[adampietruszewski]

@r2zibit lol because when you know him you know he's an asshole, everyone who knows what he's like hates him. lol i know you do

[Iowaracefan]

@adampietruszewski You are correct he is what you called him.

[adampietruszewski]

@Iowaracefan thank you! at least some people around the country know besides just the people in north dakota.

[laphant]

why would anyone say anything bad about this driver?????

thats not what you are supposed to say...the guy was on fire for chri%% sakes!!

how bout..Wow i am glad he got the hell out of there!!

[burtboy213]

where was this at??

[squirtndirt669]

my eight month pregnant wife and i were sitting four rows up from where schatz landed. Even though i really dislike the guy, not as a person but as a racecar driver i was happy that he only had slight burns on his neck and face and was able to come back the next night. i will also say that brent kaeding made a fan out of me for being the first person to the car with an extingusher that he grabbed from track personnel while they and the outlaw officials just sat there and watched.

[3rdgenration]

Bloody hell.... lucky he got out of that with a few scratches and burns. No driver deserves that

[thedvsboarder]

yesssssssssssss

[kyle24411]

donny scatz just sux no dought about it

[spence141]

@kyle24411 lol normally I don't call people out for spelling but 2 out of 8 words mispelled and dought WOW! thats not even close. I'll bet you hump your sister huh? please reply with some smart ass comments back It will be entertaining to see how dumb you really are!

[TEEPEE00]

that was at silver dallor in chico, ca he came back and raced the night. that is a true racer

[MrCo2manchris]

has there ever been a turbine powered sprinter Tom sneva drove a rear engine sprinter in the 70s

[markmnorcal]

If I remember right he only slightly burned part of his face and hands.Nothing serious.

[backlinelover]

Sprint car racers might be the last true racers not about the money or fame just the a big gold trophy waitn at victory lane, more of these guys should be considered to race IRL or nascar, but usac has too much controll spin, as the oldest sanctioning racing body.

[MrThacker101]

I fuckin hate donny schatz and vids like this make me smile

[ChambanaWags86]

@MrThacker101 You are a terrible race fan and when the rest of the real racing community reads that, they are ashamed that idiots like you too often speak for us.

[nickster1318]

@MrThacker101 your a fuckhead how does that make u smile grow up and get a life. tell me whats good about a car rlling then bursting into flames with the driver still inside????? you have some serious issues go see someone.... i think that some one is jelious because donny is a better man than hey is who can drive better and i recon cares and looks after his family better to.. so do us all a favour and just delete your fucking account

[XxALLxCODxFOREVERxX]

yeah because hes a prick

[death9711]

lmao and the audience starts cheering in the background

[WoofyProductions]

I met Donny Scahtz when he wasn't so big in Sprint Car racing. But he was bloody good back then and still is!

[shootr04]

I've never met the guy but I watched him start racing sprint cars when he was just 15 at his home track in West Fargo, ND. What a driver!

[alexander5274]

This happened at the Chico, Ca. Gold Cup in Sept. of '06 on Thursday night.

Schatz came back on Saturday night to run the main. Not seen in this video is the first person to get to the car with a fire extinguisher: Brent Kaeding.

[TheNASCARknowitall]

he had to be sore a little bit right

[brendonfern]

did he survive that?

[HL2NoLie]

May have been posted before, but the whole back bumper didn't break off, just enough of it and then the hard hit also ripped the fuel cell off and then the sparks of the bumper caught fire to the leaking fuel, I was a brother of a crew member in a #77 Janney team. If you recognize Shane Sullins, Send me a response in YT mail.

[Janusha]

how the hell does that catch fire ? ripped tank.. spraying a thin shower of fuel particles mixed with air on red hot exhaust will do it.

[10TC55]

Nothing Tony Stewart can't pay for.... lol

[indianstar6829]

@10TC55 too bad that wasnt tony's car... that was schatzys family car

[xcsboost]

lol no shit right i even live 3 miles from him ha ha

[scotty9146]

@10TC55 he was driving for his parents yet you dumb ass

[IceBreaker832]

how did the car catch fire, like what was the reasoning??

[ScLmRaceFanPhotos]

It ripped the Tail Tank off. also the push bumper poked a hole in it and it was scrapping along the cement wall causing sparks.

[IceBreaker832]

Thanks = D

[UberKuhlMan]

The fuel cell erupted on contact with the wall.

He was fine though.

[Legoracefan2735]

DONY SCHATZ IS A CUNT!!!!!!!

[lawry05]

agree 100% on both posts

[Legoracefan2735]

Fuck Donny Schatz

he's a(n):

asshole

cocksucker

futtygutty

cunt

[banddude2009]

The only thing good about the WoO is the Four Wide Salute. Go USAC. No Wing, All Guts.

[mattgonzales20]

fuck shatz

[gaines3337]

yeah give scatz hell

[rocknbloodn]

huh he most be running race gas cuz methal fuel u cant see it burn

[dillonbf]

They run additives in alcohol now, Nobody runs injectors and runs race gas through them ever.

[rocknbloodn]

ya i knew they dont run gas cuz no one runs gas out here in the west its just weird cuz we lite methanol on fire and its kinda difficult and when u do it burns clear

[ScLmRaceFanPhotos]

You put top end lube for the valves and pump ,etc.. plus some of the Outlaws run Nitro yes the same stuff as the Dragsters and Funny Cars run. They split the Nitro with (yes) Methanol to got to 90% Nitro. Methanol is wood Alcohol and Ethanol is Grain Alcohol

[jaredsc18]

fuck me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[7jerryv7]

Do I smell BBQ?

[gaines3337]

thats funny burn scatz burn

[kdog4791]

Fuck i would have shit myself if I was him

[KFlakes05]

Your a complete dumb fuck-nobody in there right mind would ever say that about any driver who deserves that. You must be a dumb-red neck idiot.

[lolmbclol]

@KFlakes05 hey fuck you. whats wrong with rednecks. huh? i dont see anyone callin you names so shut the fuck up. REDNECK PRIDE

[frankisfunny2007]

@KFlakes05 who you talkin' to? If it was me, then you were talkin' to the old me, now I respect Shatz more, but now I don't think he deserves it, although he does deserve a blown motor at ever race, not his car to catch on fire, and I do apoligize for saying that

[wwefan9733]

serve's that bitch ass right!

[egyman990]

o my god aka omg that is crazy

[ahdhracing]

ow

 hurt

[blazefoust]

At first, I was like, HOW'D IT HAPPEN??!!??!! then i took a second look and his gas tank took a hufe blow to the wall emitting sparks and the gas fluid sprayed everywhere, causing a fire.

P.s - I hope he didnt get hurt badly !! ! :O

P.s.s - Im a nerd lol.

[greengeckolizards]

i remember that on tv!!!!!!!!! that was like amazing

[spyderman1240]

I just watched this guy win in Grand Forks, ND tonight.

[stewart10127]

he died didnt he?

[MUSTANGKIDGT]

i no donny and this was not animated

[striped36]

thats was so animated

[sprintcarchamp]

you are so retarded.

[rexcars27]

where is the rest of it?

[soxpipe]

looks fun till the fire starts

[omgroy1587]

yea the back is were the fuel is help, hit that thing at 100mph, shit like this is going o happen

[JeSsE4077]

there was already a small leak and wen he hit it made it bigger

[wildarms007]

Holy *****! That was not expected...

[turtlegirl04]

F**kin Andy!!! lol.. CANT wait till this season!!! 92 ANDY!

[youmyboyblue01]

this vid is so flipin gay

[Davenergy]

Flipin gays know what flipin gay is.

[wha65]

I love the sprintcars here in OZ, but an expert i'm not.However,even though the back of his car took most of the impact against the wall,on face value it didn't look like a big enough shunt to rupture the fuel tank.

[Ministock85h]

Those little back things hole the fuel tank, and since sprintcars are as light as can be, some people like to have a very thin fuel tank...

[btman2]

the bladder inside the tank is actually fairly think...

[Richards157]

I was at that race, Gold cup at silver dollar speedway 06, Its completely real it was sight to see and the driver walked away unharmed.

[montyth]

Why would you let someone else win? Isn't the point of racing to be first across the line? And no one deserves to be in a crash that could take their life.

[frankisfunny2007]

I am removing it

[alan4drums]

i thought the wheels would catch but he flipped from the wall

[Camholla08]

i think he is using illegal fuel LOOK AT THE COLOUR

[tw3steds3lf]

he's lucky the car fliped a little more so it was on his wheels,he was a gone-r if it didn't he very lucky

[lilpeterson23]

of course he is!,, wow you must not be a sprint car fan

[F1V1]

Wow you posted the same thing twice! Lol.

[lilpeterson23]

Of course he lived!

wow, you must not be a sprint car fan..

[Scandy4NunoG]

did the guy live?

[maxddude]

did you ever figure that when someone spells nascar wrong that thier a redneck? thats y my fav motorsport is MONSTER JAM

[WickiyWickiy]

What are you saying?

[Joejam2845]

I've never seen Alcohol burn like that! Must have been a LOT of Fuel lost on that Rollover!

[bencousinsrox9]

i was at that race and it wasnt fake

[Kabowa10]

FAKE!!

[LegosTv]

hey bitch thats fake and all of us see it :/

[NW21Bell]

what track was this at

[sprintcarchamp]

Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California.

[Wokoodude]

my gpa acctually sponsers one of the cars at williams grove...i love it there

[7jayremy]

Its AMAZING HES ALIVE!

[MichaelJCaboose313]

I hate Donny more than anyone including danny lasoski but i hate to see people have a bad crash like that

[sammywright1]

Andy Forsberg on top?

[Sailormercury89]

omg! he literally jumped the cushion! that is insane!! I'm glad Donny wasn't hurt.

[Kabowa10]

yo jasonphillops or wat ever ur name is i race sligshots and we use methonol and that is some hot stuff and it will flame if u want it to

[jordon010]

thats so fake that was edited

[strooper70]

how can you say that was fake? i was at that race jackass

[7jayremy]

Who are you some faggot ass expert in film editing? If so you should quit your day job bitch

[NouterbanksC]

only fake thing is u probly dont kno shit about racing now do u

[strooper70]

well said NouterbanksC

[aussiekartman]

Hey dickhead, there is another video of the same incident, filmed from a different angle. Watch it, then see if you still think it's fake.

[jasonphillipjames]

Thought methonal was flameless.

[Harvickfan04]

i know right. it could of been and oil fire that spread into the fuel system.

[electricrainice]

dang that thang jumped

[allumina]

At Chico!

[Harvickfan04]

all i can say is wow!!!

[erimek]

I live in alabama and last friday during a sprint race someone left the gas cap off one during an open red flag and they didn't put a chemical in the fuel(alchohol) to show a color when it burned and the whole thing went up but you couldn't see anyting but the seat pads burning with no flame and he was rolling around franticly no one knew what was going on at first.

[NW21Bell]

where was this at?

[gfTRPA]

YIKES!

[timebomb812]

To everyone saying that donny is cheating because his fuel burned orange and red and not clear...well do some research,true methanol does burn clear but all race fuels have an additive in them and has for years so it burns that way so it could be seen by the fire workers,watch some old indy footage of fire and guys would get burned BAD because it could not be seen.The additive changed that,people ar right donny is just a good driver no need to cheat at all!

[TastyDefiance]

what camera you usin?!

[w0lf65]

No idea sorry, I didn't take the video myself

[grove2265]

That was my shot. The camera is a Sony 3 chip DVCAM digital.

Grove at Quality Race Video Productions. I didn't post it. Someone that bought it from me put it up.

[Pjsracevideos]

ok whoever thinks alcohol and methonal r different thinks are different doesnt know dirt track racing in racing there is only 2 kinds of fuel Methonal(Alcohol) and High Octane Gas

[bbutterworth1]

ha ha its good he is alright but come on schatz dont come into town and think you own the place forsberg was way faster then he thought and it would have been forsberg over if he did not hit the brakes so hard

[BIGBAD8]

ripped the fuel cell right out of the car

[MightyDunk]

no the brake rotor cut the bladder

[BIGBAD8]

ohh!!!ok

[allumina]

fuckin Chico dude, hate the way the track tapers off, getting stucks over that shit is scary

[tdjsti]

Are You Guys Serious About The Cheating Bullshit.

Donny Is In A Class Of His Own At The Momment Just As Steve Kinser Was For 30 Years.

Thats Typical Though With Success Comes Jealousy From Others.
