2007 IRL Dario Franchitti flip at Michigan

[turducken97]

back when indy racing was good

[comedyrevue99]

another bad wreck clearly caused by dan wheldon

[shawnwillman]

this was my first race

[schumi246]

3 people couldve easily have been killed in that crash, if dixon had been going a hair faster, he couldve been hit hard in the head, whoever the fourth one in the bunch was couldve been, and obviously Dario. The fact that they all walked away from this wreck is part luck, part safety of the cars.

[JeffGordon24Dupont]

Marty Reid annoys the heck out of me. Wish he wasn't the lead commentator for ANY sport. What an idiot. He says the same thing everytime a wreck happens.

[Tonio31]

They don't call these lawn darts for nothing.

[AmericanCritiquer]

this shit is so crazy, just try to imagine being a few cars back and hitting the brake to avoid that!

[ACDCsuperfan91]

which one is AJ Foyt the fourth cause he got a tire mark on his helmet?!

[MortifiedPenguin275]

@ACDCsuperfan91 AJ is in the #22 (i think) Vision car. At about 0:12 you can see he's between both Target cars and I believe it to be Dario's left front tire makes contact with his car/helmet.

[ChrisMaxsonTV]

@MortifiedPenguin275 no darios car comes down and hits like where the tire is except in the middle and that shot him up into the air and over his head and plus that would have killed him he was fine

[InvisibleTeeth]

How did Hornish get involved in this wreck?

I thought is before he became "Slammin' Sam"

[nascarman24]

i was there! i thought he had got killed or atleast broke his neck at first. thabk god he was ok!

[crazyful123]

who won?

[MurphyMonster]

That could have easily killed Dixon.

[UltimateEEnEFan]

I was there. Scariest moment I've ever seen. I was on the frontstrech and it looked like the car flew out of the race track. Thank god it didn't, but boy, that was scary!

[penske369]

Can you imagine what Danica Patrick was thinking when she is just running right behind Dario and then that happens?!?! Crazy stuff...

[skynet0912]

That really was The Flying Scotsman!

[fabiboy12]

Nicht das erste mal das Franchitti abgehoben ist

[wolfearie]

Go the Scots!

[jasonwaite38]

I think Dixon is as lucky as Dario here cos his head nearly hits the flying Franchitti. What a spectacular crash.

[wildarms007]

Wow. If this crash would have happened @ 230+ mph [champ car formula] this accident would have turned out a lot different. RIP Greg Moore

[e521soediv]

is Called Roll-Bar dumbass its the same things as a Roll Cage but its just 1 Bar.

[Dwhaler07]

2007 was a year of terrible crashes. This year has alot less of them, which is good. Safety first

[TahoeJoe06]

Danicabrooke person its not a bad crash The head on crashes are bad. If this was in the 70s or early 80s it would of been bad

[TommyBmusic]

It was! I knew Franchitti would be ok but his car could have taken Dixons head off

[vincelovesdanica]

shut the hell up how would you know fag? were you in franchtti's car or dixon or aj foyt4th?

so think before you talk ok?

[TahoeJoe06]

Darios not that bad. Im not talking about Dixon and Foyt. It is not bad if you flip but if you hit the wall head on its bad cause it is jerking your head. You arent that smart are you? so think before you talk ok

[vincelovesdanica]

how would you know what is like in the car when you flip so fuck you and don't call me stupid or i will beat your ass K?

[laletemanolete]

ROLEBAR!!! you stupid ROLEBAR

[vincelovesdanica]

a rolebar is to role your mama

[laletemanolete]

so start using it!

[vincelovesdanica]

no problem

[laletemanolete]

ok, that's enough, we are getting out of the original theme... let's talk about racing? ok?

[vincelovesdanica]

all right

[laletemanolete]

have you heard about the "rolebar"??

[danicabrooke]

Wow I remember watching this and I cried!!! it was so scary and I had just met Dario a few weeks b4

[ClubWago]

I thought Dixon was really hurt when I saw this live. Glad he looped it last 2nd.

[33kalam]

only 7 cars finished in this race (IRL record)

[Treetop64]

@33kalam

Yeah. An indication of the quality of this series. Can't wait for the "reunified" series to return, and I hope the fire of the old CART days return, because it sure isn't there now...

[33kalam]

@Treetop64 with the sole honda and dallara equipment, around 2006 and 2007 only average 18-20 cars started each IRL race

[racermac1988]

One of the scariest Indy Car flips I've seen. Reminds me of Buddy Rice at Chicago a couple of years ago. Turned sideways and up and over.

[julian2408]

i just saw the finish of the kentucky race and dario flipped again at the finish....hopefully someone will put on the clip tonight

[duffdodge]

what is crazy is that franchitti flipped again today (the next week) in kentucky. he flew up and did a back flip - and again walked away. talk about lucky!

[hiroshi021]

Marco must have jinxed Dario on flipping over in a race after he did it at Indy and then Mid Ohio. Way to go AGR. You show you can have your drivers literally flip and nearly die.
