Carl Edwards Talladega Crash 4-26-09 (HD)

[Aflacfilms]

The way I saw it, it was Ryan Newman's fault, reply if you think different

[PIEFISHCAT]

It's times like this where you just think, what was going through Carl Edwards' mind when this happened.

[sfgiants659]

''It destoyed the front end of Newmans car" thats what they're worried about when Edwards almost goes over the fence!

[TheMets1fan]

I was at this race. Man that was ugly

[shintaru21]

edwards flying into the catchfence

DW: Ohhh!!!!!!!! that destroyed teh front of newman's car

0-0 what about the car flying in the air against the fence DW

[fdalpete]

The worst job of sport commentary ever. One of the most dramatic crashes you will see the they don't say one thing about. "just the front end of Newmans car" who cares.

[RDarth]

Thumbs up if you think the commercial with the guy riding in the backseat of Carl Edwards car should've featured this accident.

[Theevildude7475]

Omg, this is not good... -5 min later- How did he get into his underwear so fast?!

Carl: I'm on fire! I'm on fire! Help me momma!!!

[Elbolder]

ooo my gosh :D

[freakojo1]

He is gonna try and to finish like Ricky Bobby...

[mmench1]

pulling a ricky bobby, thats a class act

[331994855]

brad you are a cheater who can't win a race without cheating like you did there

[jiminey6969]

@331994855 explain how he cheated. you complete idiot.

[BryanL14k]

@331994855 brad didn't cheat here. even carl edwards admits that he tried to block when keslowski was already beside him.

[Jbreed2011]

I like how the one announcer makes a big deal about a dent on newmans car when edwards is heading towards the stands.

[cdname47]

@Jbreed2011 It's almost like he was looking at Newman and not what was going on behind him!

[TheRaindropStudios]

@Jbreed2011 Well, think about it this way, if Edwards back bumper is just a few feet higher, then it would go right into Newmans windshield and it could've been very bad

[thepaul41]

wow good quality

[CupRac3r]

1:25 I wonder what edwards was thinking at that moment!

[Jimbeanbob88]

@CupRac3r

"Yup. I'm flyin through the air. This is not good." That probably sums it up.

[Str1cker]

@Jimbeanbob88 WOW SO FUNNY TELL MORE PLEASE.

[CupRac3r]

Weird how he got in a big Crash like that and then ran at least 3 MPH toward the finish line that was about 0.2 miles away from his car. lol

[Ieyedude]

Saw it live

[fdalpete]

The best example of the worst sports commentary in history.

[toohighnthesky]

I just don't understand how these crashes that don't hit very hard kill people (earnhardt...etc) and that one he just climbed out of his car virtually untouched. I guess all the new safety harness' and things.

[bedajo28]

@toohighnthesky It all has to do with how well the head and neck are protected. The new harness keeps them stable even in these circumstances thank God.  I remember seeing that crash and thinking Carl was dead or paralyzed.

[gracia95]

I've seen this crash live and McDowell's ,makes ur hair stand up at first

[reverenfender]

lol ricky bobby

[MrBaumer8993]

That's crazy

[nascarfangojimmie]

i'm glad that carl wasnt hurt but.......THATS WHY U SHOULDNT DRIVE A FORD!!!



[reverenfender]

@nascarfangojimmie couldnt hav sed it better myself

[Javy2727]

jr's protégé ?? people that suck in their respective sport can not have a "protégé"

[TheCanadianJay]

Watched this race with my baby sister. It was her first time she ever watched a whole race, and just so happens that she had instantly fell in love Carl.Should have seen how hard her jaw hit the floor when he flipped!

[YuTe3712]

2:31 OUCH to that guy in the black shirt top right who got clobbered by a metal plate. >.<

[sunnyt12321]

Carl Edwards is so good he can flip his car. He's still perfecting this idea though

[RobloxMan432]

I saw the crash happen live. Thumb's up if you did too.

[Leuel48fan]

@RobloxMan432 lucky! i wish i was there

[SamPasciuto]

carl edwards should of WIN

[rdwq5]

Edwards isn't "Claritin Clear"

[DaleEarnhardtRIP]

How didn't mike see debris go through the catch fence?

[BenFlexin]

yup im flying through the air right now this is not good

[cmanley1984]

It looks like the majority of the metal did get caught by the catch fence but I feel bad for whomever got a piece of that hot front bumper sliding through..

[gamenern]

DW said this looked like Allison's '87 wreck...I thought it was more like Bonnet's '93 crash. Either way, scary crash, glad Carl was okay.

[MonsterRockstar2012]

i was there live to see this the car came right i front of me i was scared that carl was dead or really hurt i was glad he was okay

[JeremysRants]

Damn i woulda shit my pants if i saw the car commin and a fence as my only protection

[gtwrestler88]

brad keselowski is the biggest douchebag in motorsports.

[Kordovaner]

Is there any videos on youtube of this accident from the spot where the cars hits the fence? That would be fucking scary.

[AnarchyRacingTV]

block me once, ill let it go, block me twice and away you go haha

[xxDevin422]

Wow that's amazing I had to look this up because my uncle was in the second row where carl's car hit

[radngnarlysk8]

Yes I know. This was Carl's fault. As a matter of fact it was a rookie mistake so don't blame this on BK. Even though I do hate BK. It was Carl's fault.

[Water4Jeremiah]

Watch #09 at 1:07

[BrileyWright9]

@Water4Jeremiah Yea he pulls right out in front of Kyle lol

[HighriseSniper24]

Whoa! Talk about and epic finish.

[fdalpete]

What a horrible job of calling the finish? Fox you suck!

[TwkKiddSnipa]

Have you noticed evreytime brad wins jr. finishes second

[jaqua524]

@TwkKiddSnipa everytime..not that significant lol..he's only won twice

[grdixon83]

HA HA I would like to say I personally inspired Brad to prove me wrong!But thats a lie,fair play to him he drove a good race and deserved to win on Sunday!!!

[nimpo46]

nooo, nooooo, oh nooo, nooo

[ThreeRiversRC]

Nascar needs to get rid of the no passing below the yellow line rule, it dosen't have to be the entire race. Just the last lap would be fine. Some of the best finishes in Nascar have been decided by a late race pass below the yellow line, 1979 and 1999 Daytona 500's.

[PrivateMat]

DAM IT!

[grdixon83]

Keslowski sucks!!I dont blame him for this crash,but dont know how he gets to drive the #2 Penske Dodge,One of the most famous car/liverys in NASCAR today!!

[Bluestorm5]

@grdixon83 he won today's race.

[stobsea]

Can we get a vote that this was the greatest race in NASCAR history? Even without this finish, it was a terrific race.

[xdalemhartzx]

@stobsea agreed

[TheHoodedCreature]

Its funny, even though he didn't win, he still did a flip. XD

[helookalikeaman117]

how many people in the stands just shit their pants?

[atice1984]

@helookalikeaman117 17

[adjones87]

1.I was at this race (start/finish line) & It's not fake.2. My sweet friend was the most seriously injured in the grandstands & had to be airlifted to UAB to have her face attached back to her head. 3.This is NASCAR...it's how the 'game' works...wrecks happen & people get hurt. 4.Don't hate on a race 'til you've actually seen one in person;they r boring on tv but it's all about the atmosphere. Especially when all the rednecks r drunk & havin a good ol' time. 5.HALLOdega is the best of all!! :))

[wogolfer]

That yellow line rule should not be in effect on the last lap of races. Let those boys use the whole damn track if they want. That rule is some kinda bullshit if you ask me...

[xdalemhartzx]

@wogolfer if they made it so that you could do that there would be a wreck every fucking lap dude

[wogolfer]

@xdalemhartzx I said it shouldn't be in effect on the LAST lap, read it twice next time

[xdalemhartzx]

@wogolfer my bad bro

[ArmyHighlander]

That "Double Yellow" rule is more responsible for this wreck than either Brad Keselowski or Carl Edwards.

[ArmyHighlander]

Carl tried to force him below the double yellow. After Regan Smith got a win taken away when Tony Stewart did the same thing, what the hell did people EXPECT Brad to do?

[KASEYKAHNEfanatic13]

no offence to anyone who does or doesn't like Carl and the same with Brad, when your out to race and your that close to winning it's either make it or brake it and i believe that was what Brad was thinking so he had a chance to take the win from Carl. Also Carl was just racing and was also trying to win so he blocked him really either is not to blame what ended up as the outcome became a product of good racing, competition and bad timing.

[megadudesky]

1 guys was probally going "HEY I GOT AN ENGINE WOOHOO!" LOL

[spriggs20]

This was awesome. Carl's a prick

[bmxer123ist]

If carl didn't try to block brad when he looked to the outside, he wouldve won the race

[The1994Gforce]

How do I remember that day? as a combonation of "Ricky Bobby" & the big one of the 1987 Winston 500. People got hurt back then, and apparently, so did some spectators at that race.

[TheMnbvjh]

Does Brad K run into Kyle Busch; @1:08?

[anthony2154]

@TheMnbvjh yes he did. but he won anyways, so it would of helped him do his victory thingy

[72agc]

What grand stand was he looking at, I saw a butt load of debris go into the stands.

[mindriotcf]

That's what happens when: 1. You're an ignorant asshole. 2. You try to block somebody. 3. You're Carl Edwards.

[tsharpmac420]

where was the chick that got cut up sitting, was it from his wreck or people running over pieices of his car and flinging them through the fence....gotta love that catch fence early talladega clips only have a wall....and i dont get how nascar couldnt see that a wing is forr downforce when going forward is a wing for lift when going in the opposite direction

[osufanbuckeye123]

greg biffle almost T-boned :) carl edwards LOL

[MrAmplover1]

and that destroyed the front end of newmans car they didnt even care about carl 

[NightmareTeeVee]

Not so Claritin Clear huh, Carl.

[STP43FAN1]

It's called poetic justice, Carl.

[bstaff88]

Mike Joy sounds like a idiot when he says the catch fence held every thing back. Look at all the metal raining down on the fans. Is he blind...?

[STP43FAN1]

@bstaff88 No.

[jogibajr]

@bstaff88 The catch fence kept 99.99% of Edwards car from getting into the stands. Would you prefer they put up a 50ft wall and have the fans watch it on large screen TVs ?

[Nascarking24]

Carl should've taken the transponder with him over the line then it would've counted.

[Shydragon72]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 star?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot!

Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

[illinifan1154bball]

1:08 haha he runs into kyle busch when trying to go celebrate

[jkfw6]

Running across the finish... Is there anything more epic after a crash at 195 mph?

...no, no I don't think there is.

[hotrod26ify]

ouch thats gotta hurt

ohhh!! haha! he gets out and starts running!

[wassupno3]

the people sittin where he hit the fence got some debri to take home for some suvoners

[TPMJ5997]

NOT TO HD ANYMORE WITH THE DESTROYED CAR

[ChrisMolyneaux93]

"I did not see any debris go into the grandstands."

Were you actually WATCHING the crash?

[wogolfer]

Everyone was so busy watching carl run across the line that they missed Brad wrecking himself trying to get back up on the track hahaaha 1:09

[mosleyfin32]

0:07-0:09

Yep, he's flying in the air. That is not good.

[nr2003crasher]

edwards and even newman risked serius injuries for me

[briggsfan101]

i hope the guy that caught carls carb got to keep it

[CaptHyatt]

I'm just saying, if I was Carl Edwards, I'd be pretty damn pissed.

[Shydragon72]

so what are they saying from 0:00-0:09?

[xbryman92x]

@Shydragon72 theyre saying that Keselowski has to wait to the last minute to make his move and try to pass edwards.

[gobackto82]

there are 666 comments

[rangersboy99]

i love how kyle busch spins out kesolawski

[aszarek001]

This is why Carl is the man!!

[FSXman56]

the pit road cone @ 2:04 gets owned

[SemoOutdoors]

@hyrulemasterofpoo I was just thinking the same thing and remember thinking it when it happened...I guess he was just trying to be optimistic.

At several points in the video you can clearly see a bunch of debris flying at the spectators. In fact, at 2:00 you can see a couple people falling down. Seven people were indeed injured, though nothing serious except one lady had a broken jaw.

[stinngs120]

carl ur not claritan clear

[M4A108]

09 <---- Noob un-professional driver ever

[bsebll552]

@M4A108 WTF did the 09 do wrong

[M4A108]

@bsebll552 09 hit carl edwards that is why his car spin. But the asshole 09 he don't know his team mate got hit too.

[bsebll552]

@M4A108 I guarantee you he asked about edwards. The 39 isnt even really his teammate, they get equipment from the same place, thats it. Carls car spin because he tried to block when the 09 was already there. The asshole is edwards every other time he wrecks Brad for almost no reason

[bk11121988]

Why is he talking about Newman's front end when there is a car flying through the air.

[RDarth]

@bk11121988

Because Mike Joy is an obvious Ryan Newman fan. He talks about him whenever he can.

[MrDaBassMan]

@bk11121988 Because although I love NASCAR the commentators are complete idiots.

[fatriani]

@bk11121988

he was explaining that the reason edwards got into the fence was due to hitting newmans front end, retard

[POZAIDS]

NASCAR drivers cannot drive, fucking stupid redneck sport

[maggots32]

@POZAIDS thats why they drive at 190 mph in" next to each other 3 wide sometimes 4. so no they cant drive. nascar ant even a sport. whats wrong with rednecks?

[jaqua524]

i was pissedddddddddddd

[maggots32]

my eyes lol im srry but it looks like your the one blind. carl tryd to BLOCK him he has stated it in an interview and then went crying to nascar cus brad wouldnt go past the yellow.brad didnt wreck carl CARL WRECKED CARL.

[smallvllleowns]

yea he did a pit why did he win? he shoulda been disqualified cuz u can see he obviously turned into the back of his car to make him spin out

[maggots32]

@smallvllleowns if u knew any thing about racing u would know carl tryed to block. brads not just going to stay in that line and while carl is spinning out so ya he did move to the out side after carl spun out

[smallvllleowns]

@maggots32 if u knew anything about using your eyes to watch a video you would know he did a pit he moved b4 he spun out and made him spin out

[osubuckeyes14]

at the beginning a car almost flips into the grandstand and all mike joy can say is "oh it destroys the front end of newmans car"

[BrentWilly11]

Pit maneuvers FTW!!

[yksnerf1]

man this crash is beastin

[STP43FAN1]

Edwards gets what he deserves here.

[gymdork1634]

thats my dad in tha blue thang!!!!

[kaceyhowell]

i wonder what carl said the kesolesoki after the race

[nascarguy101]

Shake and bake baby!

[steelersxx24]

Darrell Waltrip is the man!

[Slotten68]

Carl Edwards is such a hardass

[Mysterious623]

Who cares about Edwards crashing? Poor Newman's front end was destroyed LMAO

[wogolfer]

You don't really hear much about how hard a hit Newman took on the outside wall at 3:19. he's lucky it was still the safer barrier, cause he took a serious lick on it.

[Slotten68]

"Kyle Busch is an ass"

[IrishCountryGirl923]

Keselowski is to blame for this. Several fans were hurt and people could have DIED. Keselowski would not have cared. He was willing to do anything to win this race and to do so he had to be a dirty racer and cheat to win; all at the expense of other drivers and audience members.

[00andJoe]

@IrishCountryGirl923 If you're saying Keselowski is to blame, then you're watching a different race, different wreck and different video than other people. Keselowski went high, Edwards blocked, Keselowski went low, Edwards went to block, Keselowski held his line, which is What You're Supposed To Do. If anybody is to "blame" it's the NASCAR yellow-line rule, which cost Regan Smith the Talladega win in 2008 under very similar circumstances. Smith didn't hold his line, "dodged", and was penalised.

[H3RL]

@IrishCountryGirl923 Im an edwards fan and i know that carl went down on brad. It wasnt BK's fault and he deserved that win 110%! Its just typical Dega

[MrRTrain61]

GOOD LORD, HOW YOU FRUSTRATE ME BRAD KESELOWSKI!!

[rthing]

Nascar is not real racing, it's just retards going left, left, left, and left again.

[gobackto82]

@rthing hey you douchebag they turn right on road courses

[gobackto82]

@rthing hey douschebag they turn right on road courses

[coolguy20000000]

if you look close you can see the peace of matel that broke that one ladys jaw

[coolguy20000000]

@coolguy20000000 right at 2:00

[TnVproduction101]

Talledega Nights much???????

[Jmarsfan28]

That cpould have been fatal for Newman.

[zachm2448]

haha! transcribe audio at 2:07 pol pot gosh!

[Shydragon72]

this really isnt anyones fault

[Carnicrush]

Everyone was too busy looking at Edwards hit that nobody saw how bad Newman hit the fence.

[elwanning]

Anyone notice how slow the emergency team was? His car was on fire, he got unbuckled, out and passed them as he ran to the finish line. Watch the Rusty Wallace 'Dega wresck & they are there as soon as car stopped moving.

[zappasmoon]

you know? in 011 i will pull for jr...just because...its his last chance...his last full throttle start to make a difference for his NAME! we all know about the no. 3. and when jr was the no. 8! but now, on the 88 deal? he aint worth the skin on his knuckles, being that hes grindin them on his own teeth! but good ole lodry! he can make a good commercial! he knows how to act and to film those ole mayonaise recipies! but whatever...nascar will remain as what it is in the ESPN spotlight!!!

[ikairidotcom]

Help me Tom Cruise!

[jaqua524]

6 no's for dw

[Hlover01]

those fans got their moneys worth

[steamyhotpoo]

Lucky that there weren't any security guards with their back turned to the fence

[USSWISCONSIN64]

some lucky bastards in the fence there. first time i saw that i thought he went through the fence.

[firealarmfreak5]

You suck, Brad.

[doggertdog]

@firealarmfreak5 you suck

[Joreus]

carl harsh tried cutting off brad and paid the price. nobodies fault but his own

[babygirl1140]

MY SAYING FOR THAT WAS OH S!HT I NEVER WILL FOR GET THAT

[Dragon45348]

If you don't chew Big Red, then fuck you.

[StudioISNER]

The pack was coming around they saw Carl hit the fence and the first thought that went threw there minds was "I hope Carl has Aflack."

Even though he wasnt driving that car.

[TheHammerdown4]

thats what you get for blocking

[producerjb]

most exciting finish ever! as an edwards fan, im dissapointed his car didnt lside about 100 more feet though lol

[RoSiTo8969LEViS]

his really ryt on time..!! before finishing d race... they said some curse ghost did this shit and i dont believe it!!??

[shinumaruX]

Those people sitting in that area at 2:30 got their money's worth.

[gtcochran1]

@shinumaruX i was 1 section down inthe front row and still got my money's worth greatest thing ive seen in my life

[larz83drummer]

he must have been claritin fucked up!

[WIIrOcKs10]

[ExcessEnergy]

@WIIrOcKs10 oh god, that made me choke on water

"this is a lesbian"

[tonip420]

[DukeNukem2006]

[red03mitsu]

[SilenceItAll]

You're not on fire Carl Edwards!

[MiniOneSam]

@SilenceItAll Help me God! Help me Jewish God! Help me Allah!...........Help me Tom Cruise!
