1998 Thrills And Spills (Part 1 - NASCAR Busch and Trucks)

[texacobigred42]

3:25 History repeats itself?

[texacobigred42]

0:55 Was that Turn 1 where that wreck happened?

[texacobigred42]

1:01 That wreck at "Watkins Lynn" (just had to poke fun at Jerry Punch here; when he was the lead ESPN commentator, he always made Watkins Glen sound like "Watkins Lynn") looked eerily like the Reutimann/Ragan wreck from the 2011 race, minus the flips...

[veemon888]

awesome

[lakelandchief]

1:20 2:15 2:53 4:20 where are they from and who?

[gadgefan48]

1:20 - 1998, Busch Series, Las Vegas, car flipped is Randy Lajoie.

2:15 - The big one from the August NASCAR Busch Series race at Bristol, 1998

2:53 I will have to do a bit of research.

4:20 - Ron Hornaday Jr. in the NAPA truck at Walt Disney Speedway

[lakelandchief]

@gadgefan48 thanks for the quick response! Do you have Ryan Newman flip Talladega 2003?

[gadgefan48]

No problem! I don't, but KingCuervo88 does have it inside the YT video "2003 Aaron's 499 [1/24] (Start/ Big One)." :)

[kearlyta]

[AMFForumvideo]

A Great thrills and spills for 1998!! :D

[mar4eloser4e]

who was that at 2:50?

[Piotrek39PL]

@mar4eloser4e Dave Blaney

[friskycurtain]

ESPN really should make these again, or at least SPEED should.

[18sux29rox]

Erred harvicks watkins glen wreck? I thought that was in 98'??

[daM00SEisL00SE]

3:35 was in the intro for NR99

memory lane

[bigdaddymatty17]

Does anyone have more videos of the trucks from the 98' season??? I cant seem to find any on youtube.

[whb1990]

Tandem drifting at 4:42! That was awesome!

[racguy1183]

Does anybody know the music they play as they show these cavalcades of crashes and if it can be found anywhere? I just love this kinda music and I'd love to have it on my iPod.

[FastAlx]

The "intro" mmm... but if that's your "mark",ok,i understand,otherwise,thank you so much for the videol,i've being waiting for this for years

[gadgefan48]

It kind of is my mark. I'm working on a more NASCAR-friendly intro hopefully to be ready for February.

[gadgefan48]

Check that, its ready for the next video.

[Montoya42Fan]

Buckshot Jones was like John Wes Townly in the 90's.

[friskycurtain]

@Montoya42Fan: Or even the Steven Wallace of the 90s.

[bradk12fan]

@Montoya42Fan: I thought that Buckshot Jones won a race.....

[friskycurtain]

@bradk12fan: He won 2 races actually. Including the '98 New Hampshire race.

[bradk12fan]

@friskycurtain: So how can you compare him to Steven Wallace or John Wes Townley, niether of whom have won a race in NASCAR, yet?

[friskycurtain]

@bradk12fan: Even though he won twice he still wrecked constantly and constantly was wrecking everyone around him. So maybe those were bad examples. Anyone come to mind?

[Montoya42Fan]

Brad Keselowski? (although he won numerous times)

[bradk12fan]

@Montoya42Fan: He doesn't crash all the time

[Montoya42Fan]

They might win a race in their careers, you never know.

[bradk12fan]

@Montoya42Fan: That's why I said yet

[cheese2507]

Kingsford Charcoal car on fire FTW!

[jarrettfan8844]

:26 massive wheel hop

[bigdaddymatty17]

Do you have any more truck series action from the 1998 season? Im surprised people havent posted much truck series action on here from the 90s.

[gadgefan48]

Man, I wish I did. I'm certainly going to look around like heck to find a race or two, but I don't have any truck races as of now.

[friskycurtain]

@bigdaddymatty17: wildbeemer has a few '90s truck races.

[Altamonteric]

I wonder if anyone capped the whole Las Vegas race back then

I remember this, used to loved this series back then

Great Find Balto! :D

[HarvestmanMan]

1:02 Who was that?

[gadgefan48]

It was Jamie Aube

[MonsterTruckRally666]

lol that last clip with the indycar was funny! "...the **** track! you were driving like a ****!)

thanks for sharing this! lookin forward to the rest

[BMB5150]

Can always rely on the trucks for thrills and spills. I wonder if Buggy will also post his Thrills and Spills.

[kasey9fan]

Buckshot Jones was a fricken weapon back in the late 90's!

Cool video!

[jrfan07]

good stuff!

[legonascar88fan]

Thanks Gadgefan! 1998 was my favorite season

[NascarManiaco96]

OMG Paul Tracy wasn't very happy right there on the end of the video.

[SlicedSmoke14]

Who was the driver that flipped over at 1:18.

I think Dave Blaney's crash was the worst one in the video.

[gadgefan48]

2 time Busch Series champ Randy Lajoie

[SlicedSmoke14]

Thanks. I had a feeling it was him.

[friskycurtain]

@SlicedSmoke14: I believe it was Randy Lajoie in the #74.

[friskycurtain]

I am so happy right now. Thank you so much for upload this footage for me.

[gadgefan48]

No problem!

[HarvestmanMan]

2:12 Didn't Pressley and Mike Dillon share the ride that year? Or was that 1999?

[NascarGuru88]

Thanks you gadgefan48. I had this on tape but accidentally taped over it! Thank you very much! and thank FriskyCurtain too!
