Crashes ARE a part of racing...the penalty for pushing the envelope, for riding that fine edge of control. Neil Bonnett was a one of the true greats and was not afraid to push that envelope...that's the quality winners are made from.
R.I.P Neil Bonnett. In heaven the superspeedways are paved in gold and the drafts are always excellent!
@bobalose3and88 Yep, and if you're going to be that critical, you could also say that you're not watching Youtube, you're watching a video on Youtube. But who cares.
Neil was my favorite driver besides John Andretti. My ex and I were at a Racing Flea market when I was told he had just died at Daytona testing for Dale Earnhardt. Very sad. This flip could have been really bad If he would have gotten into the stands. The need for speed has killed so many great drivers. Rest In Peace Neil.
To go along with my comment man for a camera surviivng without losing a signal that proves alot what America used to be making their own things that lasted unlike now and today they aint handmade or made in America and break apart and shit
Damn... the '93 DieHard 500 was a scary race... Horton flying over the wall, and Stanley Smith nearly gettin killed in the same crash, and then this wreck...
@DriverPaulK are you, how could you possibly disagree with that... oh thats right, your the typical internet bully who loves to pick fights over nothing. Grow up and get a life...
i think that goodwrench black car is haunted it's had two deaths inside of it. now i see why nascar has retired that car now. so there won't be a third death.
I was about twelve rows up from the hole in the fence....I can still close my eyes and see the bright red underside of Bonnett's car coming towards us.
@rebelsonofnc Neil was driving Dale's back up car that he had one with the year before I think. Dale won with it then it was destroyed in this awful crash. It is at the Talladega Museum if you ever wanted to see it.
@LostHighwayFilms Dude, racing isn't about crashes. That's just wrong to ask for those sorts of accidents to happen now. People can and do die in these sorts of racing accidents and it's not cool at all to say 'I wish the crashes weren't boring'. If you want to see crashes, go watch a fucking demolition derby.
@LostHighwayFilms boring crashes mean less deaths which is fine with me... but in all honesty, you obviously haven't seen some of the worst crashes of the last decade. There's been bad crashes, but the cars are stronger so there's less damage which makes them LOOK less extreme. They also don't fly like airplanes every time they get turned backwards like they used to. Why would you ever WISH for that to come back? lol
If this would have happend at daytona they would have gone on and on about how it looks like Richard Pettys crash in 1988, they do that every time a car turns over there, ugh.
It was a one or two race deal as Dale Sr's teammate for Superspeedway races in the early 90's. That's why he is driving the number 31 - the same number Skinner would adopt a few years later.
This was his first race since 1990. A year after this he tried to race at Daytona in a Country Time sponsored car. He was dead before the first race of the season.
This race was one of the 1st were they had in car commentary, and ironically Bonnet was the guy. And as an added bonus to this race, thsi was the 1st race after the death of Davey Allison. And ..who..might you ask drove his car in this race ???? Robby Gordon.
@Satchfan10 It seems like he did, can't remember for sure. I tried to look it up, and all it says is they used several drivers, including Lake Speed, and Robby. I know Kenny did drive the car after Ernie got hurt.
you do realize ricky craven was seriously injured in that 1996 Talladega wreck. I woudln't list any driver was seriously injured as my favorite wrecks....
great camera work by that one guy to focus on musgrave-yes, bonnett's wreck was more spectacular but musgrave was still moving and was going across the race track-not the choice i probably would have made in the shock of the moment but great awareness
RIP Neil and Benny...and so many others from that era, unfortunately
They do, if you look at the Carl Edwards crash you can notice two rows of catch fencing. If anything, maybe they should have extended the wall height by about a foot or two...
@TeamAutoBots In this same race in '93 Jimmy Horton went over the wall in turn one...which is why they put up the fence there. If it hadn't been for that, Ricky Craven would have gone over the wall in '96.
that truck race at Daytona when Geoff Bodine near fatal crash on the tri-oval but he survived from that crash so now he's doin bobsled n is the owner for bobsled
Indeed I won't.If he didn't,someone else would have.Someone who didn't try to make everything so poetic and historical...but at the same do it with the lousiest sense of humor,and cloudiest memory bank.Yeah,yeah..I know he's been there forever,and DW is a little much at times,but Ken Squier couldn't hold a candle to announcers like BP or Gentleman Ned,and don't forget Neil Bonnett taking his turn in the booth.He was great.Never in a million years.
I'd absolutely have taken Keith Jackson or Jim McKay over him anyday.Hell,in '79 it was either going to be CBS,NBC,or ABC,right?Who could've moved up from MRN radio?Barney Hall?I'm just saying,the dude is no kind of national treasure.
...and I've been watching coverage for almost twenty years now,so I'm no fair-weather fan waiting for the next dumbass Digger cartoon,wearing my bootleg "Gordon sucks!" t-shirt from sometime in the late 90's.Not trying to have a pissing contest,just that I'm not uninformed.
My dad has been watching racing since pretty much the first Daytona 500 and he knows alot, but i'll drop it, and i may be Gordon fan, but i will agree, Digger is fucking stupid. Today's coverage sucks, 1979-2000 were the best years of coverage. and i believe the next time they're changing coverage again will be 2015. Hopefully good coverage will come back, but for now, we're stuck
this car belonged to Dale Earnhardt. The actual car that was wrecked here is in the Talladega museum right at the track. I know because I had my picture taken by it back in like 01'. I was excited to find it when visiting the track.
I would never ever EVER take seats in the first few rows of the trioval at 'Dega or Daytona!!! It's an invitation for a free shower of fence and car parts. No thanks.
Amazing on the in-car of Neil's of how much his head moved around while he was turning over. Compare that to today's crashes, where the driver's head almost never moves at all.
When they first came out with the Hans, Rusty Wallace said that he didn't like it because he liked to put his head between his legs when the car started to flip.
So you're saying the HANS came out way before 2001? Like around the time of this incident ('93)? That's interesting, as I thought the HANS device was relatively new in 2001.
Actually I thought that there was a type of HANS device out....not HANS but there was a head and neck device because I remember Earnhardt and several others considered it as a noose.
Not even close. The only similarty is that they both hit the fence. This car did not have roof flaps and it wasn't hit by another car to make it launch. Edwards got hit. If he didn't get he he would have just hit the wall.
I saw this race n TV & it sticks in my mind as one of the worse days ever in NASCAR. This was just after Davey had died & they had a pre-race tribute & everything was gloomy as hell. There was an interview w. Robt Yates & he was about incoherent w. grief. Then there was that crash w. Jimmy Horton where he went over the wall, wasn't hurt, but Stanley Smith was about killed. I don't think he's ever come back. You saw his kinfolks led into the helicopter in tears. & then this. All on the same day.
One other thing I remember thinking, about Neil Bonnet. I thought—that man won't be satisfied until he kills himself in a racecar. And a few months later he was dead. I thought it was a terrible waste. I'm no race driver so maybe I have no right to talk about it, and of course I didn't know Bonnett, but there's a time when a guy's friends should take away the keys. He was a great announcer & could still be with us on TV, but he was determined to kill himself in a race car.
It WAS a bad day... Probably the most depressing race ever would be the 1973 Indy 500, but This Talladega race was pretty bad... actually the whole '93 season was tough, and '94 didn't start out any better..
every one is talking about the allison crash in 1987 but this was one that was similar too carl crash too no metion of this one thanks for post it I remeber this latter jimmy horton goes out of the track during his wreck and walked away if you have that video post that one too just so people can see yes racing is dangerous but stock cars are more safe than IRL cars. so stop bad mouthing nascar.
I also posted on another video showing Carl's crash, how similar this crash was to Carl's both cars were hit by other cars launching them into the catch fence.
I actually think this crash was a lot worse than Carl's. Neil rolled on the track a few times while Carl only went into the fence after Newman plowed into him. Hope yesterday's fans are doing ok.
Yesterdays wreck was very close to this wreck. All three wrecks like this: Bobby Allison, Neil Bonnett, and Carl Edwards have all three hit in nearly the same place. It was an awesome race yesterday, I was there. No one could figure out who won for about 3 minutes. Then, Keselowski starts doing burnouts and it was made quite apparent. Things like this just happen.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ned Jarrett sounds clueless when they show the replay. Typical of Jarrett. He never had a clue and I'm glad they finally got him out of the announcer's booth.
Ned Jarrett has forgotten more abnout stock car racing than you'll ever know! I guess you prefer Darrell Waltrip and all his queer boogity crap! Give me a break!~

this crash is really similar to the edwards crash. Or I should say visa versa

That poor Talladega trioval fence has seen some wild crashes.

Amazing on the in-car of Neil's of how much his head moved around while he was turning over. Compare that to today's crashes, where the driver's head almost never moves at all.

When they first came out with the Hans, Rusty Wallace said that he didn't like it because he liked to put his head between his legs when the car started to flip.

So you're saying the HANS came out way before 2001? Like around the time of this incident ('93)? That's interesting, as I thought the HANS device was relatively new in 2001.
Jrl24rules39 2 years ago
No, the Hans in Nascar wasn't til 2001 I think. Rusty was just commenting on what he would do during a flip.
k9feces 2 years ago
Actually I thought that there was a type of HANS device out....not HANS but there was a head and neck device because I remember Earnhardt and several others considered it as a noose.

The hutchins device i think.

Yeah this is very similar to Carl Edwards's flip.

Not even close. The only similarty is that they both hit the fence. This car did not have roof flaps and it wasn't hit by another car to make it launch. Edwards got hit. If he didn't get he he would have just hit the wall.

Well yeah but that's if you get technical.
Hihey9989 2 years ago
True, Neil was lucky that the bottom of the car hit the fence and wall.
grimreaper2001 2 years ago
Neil was lucky to be alive after this. That I think is the biggest difference.

Fue un accidente muy similar al de Edwards en Talladega 2009

I saw this race n TV & it sticks in my mind as one of the worse days ever in NASCAR. This was just after Davey had died & they had a pre-race tribute & everything was gloomy as hell. There was an interview w. Robt Yates & he was about incoherent w. grief. Then there was that crash w. Jimmy Horton where he went over the wall, wasn't hurt, but Stanley Smith was about killed. I don't think he's ever come back. You saw his kinfolks led into the helicopter in tears. & then this. All on the same day.

One other thing I remember thinking, about Neil Bonnet. I thought—that man won't be satisfied until he kills himself in a racecar. And a few months later he was dead. I thought it was a terrible waste. I'm no race driver so maybe I have no right to talk about it, and of course I didn't know Bonnett, but there's a time when a guy's friends should take away the keys. He was a great announcer & could still be with us on TV, but he was determined to kill himself in a race car.

It WAS a bad day... Probably the most depressing race ever would be the 1973 Indy 500, but This Talladega race was pretty bad... actually the whole '93 season was tough, and '94 didn't start out any better..

i was there it took over a hour to fix the fence. when i saw carls wreck this is i thought about.
countryboy5484 2 years ago
every one is talking about the allison crash in 1987 but this was one that was similar too carl crash too no metion of this one thanks for post it I remeber this latter jimmy horton goes out of the track during his wreck and walked away if you have that video post that one too just so people can see yes racing is dangerous but stock cars are more safe than IRL cars. so stop bad mouthing nascar.

I also posted on another video showing Carl's crash, how similar this crash was to Carl's both cars were hit by other cars launching them into the catch fence.
Jrharvickfan 2 years ago
I actually think this crash was a lot worse than Carl's. Neil rolled on the track a few times while Carl only went into the fence after Newman plowed into him. Hope yesterday's fans are doing ok.

Yesterdays wreck was very close to this wreck. All three wrecks like this: Bobby Allison, Neil Bonnett, and Carl Edwards have all three hit in nearly the same place. It was an awesome race yesterday, I was there. No one could figure out who won for about 3 minutes. Then, Keselowski starts doing burnouts and it was made quite apparent. Things like this just happen.

Also remember, this crash happened in 1993. Roof flaps weren't instituted until the next season.

Just a preference at RCR. Dale Srs interior was always red.

I'm talking about Ned's announcing. I mentioned that twice in my comment you clueless fucktards. I never said a word about his driving.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Ned Jarrett sounds clueless when they show the replay. Typical of Jarrett. He never had a clue and I'm glad they finally got him out of the announcer's booth.

Ned Jarrett has forgotten more abnout stock car racing than you'll ever know! I guess you prefer Darrell Waltrip and all his queer boogity crap! Give me a break!~
