1995 Die Hard 500 - The Big One

[jumper738]

at 1:43 he clearly says gordon clips schrader

[b00mYou]

Watching clips of these older videos just brings tears to my eyes with how much they've ruined the sport since the 90's. :(

Ken Squire was legendary. His voice just fits perfectly.

[hatling123]

Of course Dale was leading :)

[GR24rules]

@NeedforSpeed142 no im not kidding you GO TO BUY A EYEGLASES beacuz he didnt spin schrader

[kuhndog52]

they need to have a cbs commentator reunion

[fanofswitchfoot]

did anyone see number 31 avoid all that, he spun out of the way onot the grasss and kept going

[johnjvrambo]

I bet Rick Hendrick ripped Jeff a new ass for that wreck after the race

[kennymrosemond]

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

[Lancespinner]

This is real nascar not that crap today!

[wwetherock09]

from gordon's on board, i did not see ken schrader. maybe gordon saw it differently, but the way i saw it i think it was an accident.

[zeidy388]

i wish they would take out the stupid frozen field thing and bring back racing back to the line. that was so much better

[S1aptasticSquadalah]

Did Ken get a black eye from the wreck or a fight?

[GR24rules]

GORDON DIDNT SPIN HIM

[jrfan07]

@GR24rules 2:20 bud.

[Chihuahuaman2]

@jrfan07 not on purpose though

[JeffGordon24Dupont]

It's really weird seeing slow-motion in-car cameras since they don't do that anymore.

[camred123]

Jeff Gordon did crash ken shrader thumbs up is u agree

[KrAxRACING]

what happened to kenny's right eye? DID JIMMY PUNCH HIM?!

[erasetoimprove]

@KrAxRACING obviously it was from the crash

[bmttiger09]

I watched that race live. I used to think this was the worst Nascar crash ever (I now know its not) The end of the race was very exciting, Sterling Marlin won the race.

[GGGinyourface3]

3:25 is best way to see it. you see the jeff gordon name-plate/tag by the bar and ken running past with gordon never lifting off the gas and turning into him even.

[DMR67442]

I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS CAR IN HENDICK MOTOR SPORTS SHOPS IT WAS ON DISPLAY WITH THE GRASS STILL IN IT! ANDSTILL GREEN !

[DMR67442]

I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS CAR IN HENDICK MOTOR SPORTS SHOPS IT WAS ON DISPLAY WITH THE GRASS STILL IN IT! ANDSTILL GREEN

[raichiotto]

Hmm... No... I say Schrader came down and pinched Gordon as Gordon just started to slide up to maintain his line.. Probably the spotter called clear when it really wasn't.

[KrAxRACING]

@raichiotto gordon clearly went up u tool

[BuffleMuffle]

Lol a perfect Leeroy Jenkins moment:

Gordan=leeroy

[KrAxRACING]

@BuffleMuffle nerds arent allowed here

[gobowlingdano]

ive gotta agree with jrfan07. Gordon spun him.

[angelboy10able]

my grandma is a gorden fan

[angelboy10able]

my grandmay is a gorden fan

[JustaYardWorker]

I hate how mafield fliped labonte /:(

[cheese2507]

That 25 car us in a museum somewhere now.

[MrZrazies]

I know people likes to blame jeff gordon causing wrecking but this one isn't his fault. You see jeff turning the steering wheel left and then schrader starting coming down on jeff which hit jeff's fender and cause jeff to get loose and made jeff turn right to correct his car which the price jeff have to pay is spinning schrader. Watch closely on 2:20. You could see jeff's car turn left more after schrader his jeff's car. Sometimes drivers don't give you room and you have to pay the price.

[MrZrazies]

@MrZrazies Err after schrader his jeff's car. Meant to be "after schrader hit jeff's car."

[storm24awesome]

I am a HUGE Jeff Gordon fan and even I have to say that was Jeff Gordon's fault. spinning him. not causing him to flip. Ricky craven caused him to flip

[OXmascot2010]

This video quality is awesome! Espically for 1995!

[Jexter420]

Change your description you frickin Gordon-hater.

[jrfan07]

@Jexter420 lmfao what? im a huge gordon fan, i dont know how you got "hate" out of the description :O

[Xuntouchable03]

@jrfan07 haha what was that jexter guy smoking?

[cajt60]

Schrader Did not know that gordon was there

[nascarfanatic2425]

@Jexter420 Dude, I'm a Gordon fan, and clearly, Jeff touched Ken Schrader, but we all know that it wasn't intentional. Why would you intentionally turn your teammate? It was an accident.

[rockypc24]

@nascarfanatic2425 thats right accroding to wikipedia he was on the raido in tears (hahah) about it till ken came over the radio saying it was ok and not to worry about him

[nascarfanatic2425]

@rockypc24 Yep. 'Course I would be too if I had caused my teammate to have a rough crash like that, especially if he smacked into something head-on.

[RRaquello]

I remember watching this race live. This was a little bit after the roof flaps came in. This was the first big flip after the roof flaps came in, and up til then they were talking like flipping cars were a thing of the past and we'd never see another flipped race car. This crash brought everyone back to reality.

[phxracing42]

at :18 is awsome

[xEKALBx]

I went to hendrick motorsports today 7/22/2010 and went to the museum and they have ken schraders flip car thats in this video, and it is torn to pieces

[snappy452]

Was that Richard Petty on the third mic? Or was it the "other" Jarrett who used to annoy the piss out of me on TNN? I friggin hated TNN's coverage. Nothing beat CBS/TBS coverage back in the mid 90's. ESPN was a very close 3rd.

[phxracing42]

@snappy452 yeah i think its him..and now i think espn is a distant third

[vicp1990]

lol mayfield just used bobby as a plow!

[ChevyPiston63]

everyone hate jeff cuz he wrecking everyone? so do dale sr.. hello.. dale sr told jeff, u follow me, u going learn lot things so that what jeff did. dale sr show jeff what nascar is about.. look at jeff gordon now. more than 80 wins and 4 champ.

[IOwnAtRockBand]

@ChevyPiston63 putting lexan on the whole body would be a good idea lol

[miles24fig]

Jeff spun him but Ken came back through traffic gets hit then starts tumbling

[ninendowii2000]

gordon didnot eve n touch him he crashed gordon  was way ahead of shrader

[jrfan07]

@ninendowii2000 you must be another one who didnt watch the whole thing before commenting lol. jeff spun him, and its blatantly obvious when they show gordons onboard lol

[tryithere]

@jrfan07 It is amazing how people see what they want to see.

[SwineProduction60]

@jrfan07 No kidding, it cleary shows that Gordorn made contact with ken at 1:40

[erasetoimprove]

@ninendowii2000 lol watch the whole video before you make comments

[skankuser]

@ninendowii2000 Gordon DID spin him, and he was shaken up about it too. He thought for a minute he had killed him.

[speedf1league]

You can tell this was back in the day by the graphic which appears at 0:51 which states "2nd Caution - Lap 140". These days they would have had 10 debris cautions by lap 140...

[Jeem262]

@speedf1league Couldn't have said it any better myself..those "debris" cautions are just ridiculous

[nascarbilly2424]

Gordon didnt spin him, watch the beginning Gordon is in the front pack

[jrfan07]

lmfao thats because he passed him after he spun him. im asuming you just watched the first 20 seconds and assumed he never touched him, because at 2:20 there is an onboard with jeff gordon clearly showing us he made contact with ken schrader

[nascarbilly2424]

yea, guilty :/ lol

[erasetoimprove]

@nascarbilly2424 you're either joking or blind or didn't watch the replays

[ZacharyFilms]

@nascarbilly2424 retard......

[Motorsportism]

@nascarbilly2424 Big fail he obviously spun Schrader!

[penske369]

Sigh.....Richard Petty is not a good analyst

[LiMiTEDzV4]

all you need is one small mustake and someone could get killed or injured

[SpeedDemon88X]

That car was at the Hendrick museum

[ultimateWACKO9]

when they were interviewing ken schrader was his left eye swollen?

[discodarth]

It looked obliterated lol

[DialgaRules24]

yeah

[ChevyCamaro33]

ken squier, such a classic commentator. He always got excited when cars got in trouble, no matter how bad the crash was.

the classic line up: Ned Jarrett, Ken Squier

[AngryGundamGamer]

Don't forget Bob Jenkins :)

[RidgeGuitarWoW]

rofl they only pulled the yellow flag, that should have been a red flag.

[cologuy777]

i remember that race . The #25 took a wild ride.

[ownwar8]

to answer the questions posted under me dale's talladega crash was in 1996 and his daytona crash was in 1997

[notoffset]

earnhardts crash was at daytona but it was not in 1995...

[kingofrunescapepking]

he had a worse crash at dega in 96

[Bartman1764]

wasnt this the year earnhardt sr had his terrible Talladega crash

[skankuser]

No, that was the fall race in 1996. That's the race he broke his sternum.

[roryfixkar]

That was 96.

[F2pSkill99]

ken had a black eye!

[5953klein]

who was the other driver up in the air?

[fightinchicken26]

Looks like Chuck Bown.

[kingofrunescapepking]

yes it was indeed chuck bown

[jws381]

Gordon was crying on the radio because he thought he killed Schrader.

[maverick8118]

i hope no one got killed...

[weemanlovesjesus]

no i don't remember anybody getting killed in that one.

[v8nascar]

NASCAR from the 90's is the best!

[whustad32]

I just got done saying this to my fiance and then I read this comment!

[Qtip43]

Dega Baby! this is how they roll....

[F2pSkill99]

wheres the emotion from the commentators? lol

[777Funky]

wow all he had was a black eye.

[Mustangman675]

Ken Schraders' car is at Hendrick Motorsports museum as it was after this wreck and it is a mess, i have a video of the walk around on my phone

[IOwnAtRockBand]

What are the nascar's windshield made of? Cause they are really strong!

[jrfan07]

lexan, bullet proof glass.

[IOwnAtRockBand]

thanks man!

[ChevyPiston63]

@IOwnAtRockBand they should put all lexan on whole body and let them wreck everyone n still racing! lol

[YanKoZ2]

Why is it when I watch this sport I don't see anything amazing like I witnessed on this video.

[tylerhead24]

flips don't happen every race, just like grand slams don't happen every inning, half court shots don't go in every game, etc.

[kingofrunescapepking]

who was the car that launch-padded over another one in that wreck?

[wirbelwindbattleship]

Chuck Bown.

[kingofrunescapepking]

ok ty

[DMULL5000]

fitting name

[rapzeh2]

lol at jeff gordon , that was a PIT manoeuvre

[nascarfanatic24]

You can't possibly think Jeff would do that on purpose, though, especially to his teammate.

[rapzeh2]

was he so hard to avoid ?

when you look at the slow motion onbord cam , it looks like the guy in front turns left , but Jeff turns right making the car in front spin.

[nascarfanatic24]

I'm not say that Jeff slipped up the racetrack or anything. What I think happened was Jeff tried to get in behind Kenny, and misjudged, and got into him.

[THEkingjaymz]

I don't like Jeff like at all lol but they do say that everybody seems to get really tight coming out of turn 2. I think another example of this was that 2003 Busch Series wreck, but I could be wrong

[cococaradepau]

wow

[bears082012]

there was roof flaps look at 3:03 the car that is backwards

[theonenuttedwonder]

The commentators are Ken Squire,Ned Jarrett,& Buddy Baker,I think.

[HILARYFAN06]

at :10 you can here allen bestwick say trouble on the backstrehtway

[musiclives0616]

i remember this race, kenny is my fav. driver. Gotta love his reaction, "Played sprint cars, held on, hands up"

[flclfan85]

man, Schrader's car got reduced to nothing in that wreck. As for Gordon, as much as I dislkie the guy, that was just wrong place and wrong time, neither man did anything wrong.

[rickput]

hes always at the wrong place at the wrong time. (im his fan im not being mean)

[e521soediv]

he did do somethin wrong he didnt lift

[e521soediv]

how kenny still flip and he had rooflaps? and he wasnt on the grass.

[isrukind1]

no roof flaps back then

[e521soediv]

there was Roof Flaps back then. they came in 94. i think he fliped becuase he got hit by that car and the air got under it.

[PYLrulz1984]

Yeah, he just had extra help. If he just gets bumped like normal, he might of gotten away without flipping, but when you have extra cars helping along, pushing you, that just will help in blowing a car over.

[BIGCLOUD44]

i saw the car that kenny wrecked n at hendrick motorsports in charlotte nc

[HILARYFAN06]

listin closely u can here allen bestwick on mrn!!!!!!

[BengtsonJ]

and Eli Gold maybe?

[HILARYFAN06]

allen bestwick and eil gold

[spacechris7]

e521soediv is right godon didn't lift you can hear it when the on bord cam comes on

[e521soediv]

Gordon didnt lift.

[maddenplaya2424]

no gordon nipped him

[ToroRosso20]

Looks like Gordon was ahead of this...so he did not tag his teammate..

[nascarfanatic24]

Oh Jeff Gordon did tag Kenny, but nobody ever said he wrecked Kenny on purpose. Glad Kenny was okay though. That was one scary flip!

[isrukind1]

We were standing on a two by four on two coolers looking over the fence from the infield. We were where the 3 cars came to a rest. The track crew threw Dick Trickle's hood over the fence and the fans where we were just tore the hood all to pieces. Awesome view

we

[timlinisabeast]

what happened to his eye?

[jrfan07]

black eye, banged it off the steering wheel i think

[Randildo]

i remember hearing jeff cry on the radio talking to his crew about it

[nascarfanatic24]

Oh he had to have been worried. It didn't look like Jeff meant to crash Kenny. (Not sarcasm)

[Randildo]

just bump drafting gone wrong

[lostfreakadam]

I'm surprised Mayfield was able to keep going.

[wolves16]

Strangest "flip" Ive ever seen... more like cartwheels.

[jmoney11]

do you have the 1999 diehard 500 big one

[jrfan07]

sorry, dont have it, same thing i always say though, if i find it anywhere i possibly can... i will upload it...i have gotten that same question alot recently lol:P

[nascarman1]

cool
