2008 Nascar Sprint Cup California Casey Mears Flip

[EllanShanadx36]

na komme aus deutschland

[Arianovich]

Fortunately the flip was because the Hornish car hits the Kahne's car and not was later of his accident.but this was a horrible crash.

[turducken97]

indycar drivers should not go to nascar

[erasetoimprove]

@turducken97 tell that to Tony Stewart, he was an Indycar driver.

[jingman3]

O_O scary ohhh

[nascar88218]

@ 1:20 Were all looking at it upside down DW.

[DavidOrtiz36]

Darrell.... if you saw him put the window net down... how could you mistake which side of the car was which...

[Chives5150]

lol That was more of a scoop.

[kuhndog52]

1:45 ''hell it was about the 3rd hit''

[kmgouin]

whata flipp

[ChrisMaxsonTV]

Casey - "Ok time to get unbuckeled"

Sam- "HOLYY CRAP MOVE"

Casey - Looks at mirror sees sam "AHHHHHHH BUCKLE BACK UP BUCLE BACK UP"

Casey - "OHHHHHHHHH GOD I'M GOING OVER

Sam - "Ohhhhh god i just fliped someone i'm fired"

Casey - "Well good thing i bucled back up"

Casey - "Now i gotta find a way out"

Fire starts

Casey - "AHHHHHH FIRE HURY GET ME OUTTA HERE"

[3838jr]

"Gimme a lift!"

[MassillonJoe]

looks like a funny car at 1:44 lol

[solaire66]

Casey Mears has been with all the top teams and had only 1 win. That must have felt really awkward sitting in that car up in the air like that.

[flubber342]

@solaire66 na, I think he is used to sitting in the car in that position lol

[wogolfer]

i love how DW has raced his whole life, and he still called the right side of the car "the drivers side" haha

[HateDenny2010]

casey mears had a very bad 08 season

[H3RL]

08 season sucked

JR SUCKS

Track Sucks

[robmerrill888]

I wanted to cry when I saw Dale get tagged like that, he was having a solid run at one of his non good tracks. :( still makes me sad, haha.

[storm24awesome]

man, the #5 car sure does flip alot

[steamyhotpoo]

Jr. got saved twice and made it through with less damage than he should have gotten

[kloops43]

1. Add some banking and new pavement to this track (maybe to 28 degrees progressive to 30) then some rediculous racing (like a REALLY fast iowa)

2. What an unfortunate/strange first flip for the COT :)

3. HUGE round of applause for the safety worker that jumped into the fire...deserves a medal, if not the respect of everyone in the sports world

[SDCoyote827]

@kloops43 Or just get rid of California altogether and give its date(s) to Iowa.

[lolimadethisvid]

i was at this race, i remember seeing that, it was pretty crazy, because i didn't see the wreck the first time.

[barneynward]

@silentcheese24 I don't think you were born to watch Nascar.

[nascarfanatic2425]

Jeff Gordon would've won this race if it never got post-poned.

[FullControl39]

one of the most strangest flips ive seen in nascar O_O

[tonystewartrocks14]

That was a bad crash, but no one really talks about it...

[slot962]

@tonystewartrocks14 Not really...the hardest hit he took was when he hit Jr.

[silentcheese24]

DW's such a moron

[nr2002vidz]

@silentcheese24 lol coming from a nobody?

[roguelead72]

Any notice that DW can't figure out what side of the car is up? Yeah DW that car's on the driver's side in England Or Austraila

[JG24JM26]

wow sam, u couldnt slow down with that bright yella car in front of ya

[GennaGirl14]

Man...this one was a wreckfest

[cheese2507]

Is it just me or does the COT cause flips?

[UOFKfan100]

any one notice the cup thrown at the cars at the beginning of the vid?

[daveydude24NASCAR]

damn what a horrible race. it rained alot in that race

[HarvestmanMan]

How come Mears was in the 5 instead of the 07?

[coldv1]

This was 1 year before.

[HarvestmanMan]

But Kyle Busch was in the 5 in 2008, wasn't he?  Was he sick or something?

[coldv1]

No. Kyle Busch drove the 5 from 2005 - 2007. He drove the 18 car 2008 - Present.

[roguelead72]

this is 08 not 09, Mears drove the 07 in 2009

[madnessofwar]

when will hornish quit at nascar he never finishes

[dalejrgamer]

Not NASCAR's fault. It's that the track wants to die and turn itself into an outlet mall already.

[cbatiste]

this really was a wtf moment because everyone thought a COT couldnt flip and since when has a car ever flipped like that before? really bizzare wreck

[jrt88fan]

Not to mention Joey Lagono, Carl Edwards, & Michael Mcdowell's flips! I agree 100%!

[SubzeroRay]

Yep, NASCAR's fault here. Too lazy to clean water off the track = crash

[horsesboy]

I part it was not that they were to lazy to clean it the problem was that there was a seem crack and wonce they started t run cars over it the water seeped up from under the track.

[nascarfanatic24]

In Casey's defense, I think they said something about him running over rain on the track. IDK, but it's kinda hard to drive over rain.

[PEPSI2448]

look whos in first as usual

[kartchamp47]

of course they always have atleast one camera devoted to dale jr.

[Bartman1764]

Casey Mears doesnt look at wat hes doin he always crashes i think he had more crashes in 1 year than any other driver

[speedwaysedan12]

hes just not that patient

[RichieWilliams97]

Casey Mears is just a terrible driver. I hate to say it because I kind of like him, and he is a nice guy, but he just can't drive worth a crap.

[nascarpenny]

@RichieWilliams97 he has bad days at the track!! but he can race good races sometimes!!!

[MrPhilliesfan18]

@RichieWilliams97 Thats not entirely true he just has been snakebitten over the past two years or so

[RichieWilliams97]

@MrPhilliesfan18 lol, yeah, good excuse.

[MrPhilliesfan18]

@RichieWilliams97 Its not a excuse at all its the truth hes been pretty much been snakebitten

[hamlinfanVA]

@RichieWilliams97 He hit a wet patch, absolutely none of his fault.

[rockypc24]

when i was watching this i was halfway asleep but then i herd "oh trouble" and i jumped up ad saw this flip

[thewal96]

same here

[ericstranne]

where is allan gustavsson from?

[ENGLANDNEWENGLAND007]

Ormond Beach Flordia Is Where He's From

And Its Gustafson But It Is Hard To Spell Right

[leafsrule1990]

sam hornish is a joke

[stampede122]

dale had no where to go

[DsturbedFan728]

yeah. newman was under him and he couldnt stop so yea

[rockypc24]

@DsturbedFan728 that wasnt newman you retard

[DsturbedFan728]

@rockypc24 yea it was. at 2:26 you can clearly see newman below junior

[gobackto82]

@rockypc24 yes it was retard

[jide678]

Worst....flip.....ever

[roryfixkar]

no man trust me there have been so many worse than this, its probabaly one of the best flips i have seen. by best i mean it was not bad

[uiuoiujklj]

The first 6 or 7 races of the season were exciting but the rest of the year sucked. So boring!!!! plus 3 drivers won everything

[jamespic]

@uiuoiujklj I Would Have To Agree, I Think After 2007, Everything Sucked In NASCAR, Than You Mike Helton & Brian France For Ruining NASCAR!!!!!

[tk50226]

@uiuoiujklj jr burton johnson carl edwards kyle busch etc yeah  that's 3

[gpartrt]

@uiuoiujklj check out the aussie v8 supercars! way more exciting

[RoudyBusch18]

lol look at the people at 3:10 on their RV's, "OMG look at that!"

[ToroRosso20]

I was there and watched Mears the whole way..as he spun then took out the 88 then on his side...it is quite amazing*

[DaleJrIsaCutie88]

I'am glad Junior didnt flip like that! I would of been like "OMG JR PLEASE BE OK!"

[nascarfanatic24]

Another good thing that happened to him was he was able to continue. His teammate wasn't so lucky, though. I think Jr. should have at least one more victory, but fuckin' Kyle Busch struck. He really is a baby!

[mightycowhero]

sam hornish does not belong in nascar.

[DaleJrIsaCutie88]

I know really! He wrecks all the time!!!! I think he wrecks every week,I lost count. lol!

[mightycowhero]

the open wheel curse

[MidniteHaze1]

thats weird it looked like sam hornish just kept gassing it.. it just kinda was a very slow flip

[horsesboy]

The breaks were gone from the first impact he said he put the pedal to the floor and it just kept rolling and with the hood knotted up he said was he could see to turn.

[firestarsfan]

brothers ugh! oh wait i wouldnt know. i dont have a brother and i dont have a sister. i belong to a nascar loving family.

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

ahhhhhhhhhh buddy!!!!! firestarsfan sup fool...i found your ass hahaha

[firestarsfan]

hehehe yea right whatever.

[firestarsfan]

Darrel Waltrip is a bubwad!

[PotatoandJuice]

now i wish kyle busch still drove the #5 car in that race.

[NASCARfan22k]

As much as I hate Kyle, I would NEVER wish a serious crash upon him.

[Kartracer6]

would have been hard to wreck if he was leading

[Twelve5s]

does anyone know if they are doin anything with this track? i know they were talkin about doin something because ticket sales were goin down, but i haven't heard anything about it in a while.

[mateoscorner]

they were thinking of raising the banking the corners, but it might not happen

[cydewynder81]

I've been watching NASCAR for 11 years and this is one of the weirdest wrecks I've ever seen.

[18carNASCAR]

I've been watching for 12

[firestarsfan]

i know that was strange. ive never seen anything like it. ive seen cars buckle up hoods doin that but never seen one turn another over by doing that.

[Derrek730]

the track was not ready and the race was bad

[firestarsfan]

yea they rushed that race. i think eventually they did stop the race didnt they

[hutr456]

this race was horrible

[tnvolsfan2515]

yeah as always california sucks

[cbatiste]

thats like the 3rd or 4th time casey has flipped in his career (nascar and indy)

[NASCARfan22k]

This time, Hornish deliberately flipped Mears.

[nascarfanatic24]

He couldn't see. How was he supposed to know Casey was there? I think his brakes didn't work either.

[DaRkToThEChAoS]

this is a very very bizzare wreck

[29sucks]

nascar should have cleaned up the water before it happened not after like dale earnhartds fatal crash nascar should have had more safety before another driver was killed not after i love nascar the saftey the great rule package but they need to expect this

[jburgess38]

That's true cbatiste.

[jburgess38]

I don't know why they made this new car, because the races still are boring. THEY NEED TO SHORTEN THE RACES! Instead of a Atlanta 334 lap race make it a 150 lap race then they will race. Now they just ride around for 250 laps. That's why its boring TO MANY LAPS, NOT THE CAR!

[cbatiste]

the car of tommorrow was made for the safety of the drivers. look at micheal mcdowells qualifying flip at texas and youll see that the COT is the best safety improvement since the SAFER barrier and HANS device

[nascarfanatic24]

If your looking for shorter races, watch the Nationwide Series races. They aren't as long, but still have some of the Cup series drivers in it. Personally, I like long races, but you're entitled to your own opinon.

[firestarsfan]

I live about 40 miles From Atlanta and even though it would be my home track i agree with you. like today Pocono its way too long!

[nascarfanatic24]

I think the long races are supposed to be part of the challenge in NASCAR, especially in 100+ degree weather.

[firestarsfan]

make it an endurance for the drivers AND THE FANS! the races are too long!

[nascarfanatic24]

Endurance is the key word. That's what the challange is. I love long races. You wanna know what's really long, watch some of those F1 races when the grand prix's days long.

[firestarsfan]

no endurance is the fans sitting in the hot stands with no air conditioner. watching cars go 500 miles with no action, no crashes, and no real racin. thats endurance.THE RACES ARE TO FRICKING LONG! SHORTEN THEM DOWN TO 300 MILES SO THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY RACE!!

[nascarfanatic24]

Hey, your entitled to your own opinion. I like long races, though. (They keep me away from my little brother all day.)

[firestarsfan]

then u have a good reason. but still i like the shorter races.

[nascarfanatic24]

And you have a right to, because you have a good reason, too.

[firestarsfan]

yep thats why i watch the truck series.

[nascarfanatic24]

Nice! The trucks are awesome! I can't watch them, though, because my little brother always cries like a baby and says, "NO!! NO!! NO!!! You're NOT watching the race!" He's so pathetic. He hates NASCAR.

[fudgeybrownies]

Do you realize you just left a comment saying there is no action on a video where some flips over lol.

[firestarsfan]

actually yes. this track is normally boring as HELL!! THe only reason this happened is because it just rained and nascar was trying to get the race in.

[dirtydougster]

You know what NASCAR stands for?

Non

Athletic

Sport

Centerd

Around

Rednecks

[haganracing77]

to bad you cant even spell stupid shit centerd?? yeah your cool nascar is the best sport ever.

[dirtydougster]

that's all you've got for a comeback, a fucking spelling error. Let me correct it for you

[haganracing77]

if u dont like nascar then why are you watching this vid?

[nascarfanatic24]

Hey listen, you are entitled to your own opinion, but if that's the case, stay the hell out of this video. No better yet, stay the hell away from NASCAR!

[firestarsfan]

u son of a bitch! why the hell you watchin this if u dont like nascar!! go back to your stinking IRL AND FORMULA 1

[Nascarfever]

did jr have a dnf or did he come back to finish

[sexyburquediva]

He came back to finish 40th.

[w8inonmahburgerz]

we know sams crew cheif u may c me l8er in life racin

[TMPAUL]

To all the people who watch just for the accidents, your idiots imagine crashing at 200 mph guaranteed you would SHIT your pants.

[word360]

WTF is with you people bitching about "the COT doesn't crash that easily"? WHO CARES? I watch for the racing!

PS: Either turn Auto Club Speedway into a plate track or get rid of it, theres hardly ANY racing on it except for the start and restarts.

[xXMDACXx2]

im with you....the car of today(NOW) is not bad it makes good racing....good close fast racing....people just dont see.

[Hihey9989]

Stop bashing the new car! Not only is it whiney BS, it's become hypocritical

"Why can't the new car flip?!"

Now that it HAS flipped, you're all

"This new car is stupid! The old car doesn't flip as easy."

[kingofrunescapepking]

it took em like 18 races 2 flip 1 anyways

[nascarfanatic24]

Yeah, but it was only in two Superspeedway events before this one. The new car will have it's fair share of flips in the future. Everyone will see.

[firestarsfan]

aparently they dont need a Superspeedway to flip. hint hint Michael Mcdowell!

[nascarfanatic24]

Very true. Usually, though, when someone flips, it's at Daytona or Talladega. I like to think of Pocono, Indy, Cali, and Michigan as superspeedways, too, because they're 2+ miles long, and have speeds up to, or over, 200 m.p.h.

[nascarfanatic24]

Yeah, but it was only in two Superspeedway events before this one. The new car will have it's fair share of flips in the future. Everyone will see.

[SykoKid75]

you arnt a race fan if u just watch racin for the wrecks i meen there cool and i no the COT suks but come on really and on thing during the shootout did u notice the roof flaps havnt been working that well and if that air gets sucked under the spoiler man there will be trouble

[Hihey9989]

You aren't talking about me, right?

[nascarfanatic24]

I love racing for the racing. I don't like wrecks as much, especially if they're fatal, or involve my favorite driver, Jeff Gordon.

[BoTheMovieMachine]

Damn Right!!!!!

[fabulous1xoxoxo]

Give it time people, let NASCAR and the drivers work on it and get the car all figured out. All of u fuck of and wait, this is the only time NASCAR will go slow.

[cbatiste]

that was a nice one by hornish. if you look after mears car went over and rolled to its side you could tell his car was gonna go back upside down, but that final push by hornish made him stay on his side. good move hornish

[JakeTV248]

I'll say it again, Do my eyes deceive me?!?!?!?!?!

[carl99f]

i don't like the new car

[reelrock12]

i was there today and yesterday!!!!!!!!

[Monkeyball480]

HELL YEAH!!! The first flip w/ the new cars!

[jamespic]

Wild Ride!!!!!

[FLIP0325]

i'd roast some marshmallows over that fire from hornish's car. good to see that both guys were okay. cool-looking wreck.

[bkboy6]

the weird thing about it is a hit from behind then rolls over.

[jr86racer]

and btw im not telling anyone what to think or that they are wrong it is a very bizar flip but who ever thout anyone would roll at the Rock? (Carl Long)

[mrmeaty248]

it seemed like a movie...upside down and on fire. At least both were safe

[48craz]

Damn Right

[IamTheShermanator]

i never thought i would see a COT upside down, ever. let alone at california.

[jr86racer]

the COT is safer and bigger, but anything that races can roll givin the right opertunity

[IamTheShermanator]

yea, i know what your saying. a car can flip at any time, on any track.

[Monkeyball480]

I know, Boy waz I wrong. -_-;
