maybe a stupid comment but how eric martin died isnt it a little bit the other drivers fold i meen she goes fast and its hard to go around someone at that speed but it looks like that person doesnt even try....
R.I.P. to all my heroes who died doing what they loved. As a fellow racer, I know that if I die behind the wheel of a race car, I will have died with a smile on my face because I went out doing what I loved the most
In the ten years since Dale Sr's death in 2001 the top 3 series in NASCAR have not had a fatal accident. That's the longest such stretch in NASCAR history.Hopefully we can add at least another ten years to that streak.
This video was well thought out when put together. How eerie to hear the words "I'm blind" as Eric Martin's car was plowed into. I am also respectful of the producer of this video not showing the entire clip of Russell Phillip's crash. It was indeed gruesome and it shows a lot of decency to omit that. I understand there were other drivers that could have made this video but I believe the ones chosen properly amplified the safety statement being made. Again, a video worth remembering. Thank you.
@cAlexanderrrr: The guy at 0:59 was the one that was decapitated... He lost his head, his arm... Brutal, I know, thank God I wasn't there to see it myself (I was 2 and a half in '95)... RIP to everyone. :-(
@acenace24 NASCAR wouldnt allow that. The manufacturer has to "field" a 4-door sedan that sells a minimum amount during the previous 4-quarter sales year. Its an old rule that, given the COT, really doesnt make much sense anymore. It came into existence after Dodge/Plymouth started releasing super-coupes in the early 70's so that they could be raced (the big-winged Dodge/Plymouth cars dominated that era). Anyway, thats why you never see Mustangs and Camaros out there.
@acenace24 I was partially mistaken, as it doesnt have to be a 4-door (I should know, having own several Thunderbirds in my day), but there are rules preventing manufacturers from using sports cars. It more or less goes back to the old days of "The car is the star of the show", and putting more practical brands out there would theoretically help sales.
god bless all those who lost their life's and those who still risk theirs for our entertainment and for what they love. may the ones who've past on rest in peace.
Stupid move by Kerry Earnhardt! Hooking Blaise Alexander to ensure his victory. That was obviously going to cause an incredible impact for Alexander. Blaise did not have Earnhardt clear, but I just can't imagine hooking him into the fence like that instead of gettin off the gas, and letting him go. Then you go to him after the race, and tell him to watch the replay, and imagine if you hadn't let off he would never try that again, and he'd probably still be with us now. Sad.
very sad, my dad was nascar racer and died for same reason so i want to follow his steps and be a nascar racer and win a cup just like my dad did in 2005
The reason some die at a lower speed, and some survive at a higher speed is due to physics. When there is a direct hit and the energy is transferred direct to the car and driver the more intense the crash and likelihood of severe injuries. When there is a hit and the car glances and then rolls expending energy away from the car, the less severe the injury to the occupant. Dale Sr. direct hit dies, Mike McDowell glances and rolls, walks away.
Eric Martain would have been fine if the goddamn flagmen looked at the crash or the crew cheif or spotter looked but I bet they didn't have them before
Exelent video. Very well made. After seeing Mcdowell slam the wall during quals at Texas, I thought he'd be on the first part of your video, too, but the advances in safety are amazing. Maybe cup has seen its last death for a long time, but it still happens at the local tracks all the time. I saw it at Lanier Speedway in Braselton, GA. Damn sad. We were all sick, and not in the mood to watch racing for a while. RIP to all.
Steven Cothran. Not sure if I'm spelling that right. He was driving a red ministock when he got turned around in the middle of 3 and 4, and his head struck the wall. A helicoptor came, and it took a long time to cut him out, but he was already dead. His wife was up against the fense, screaming. I won't forget it. I was in one of the trackside spots on the back straightaway. I'm guessing at the year. 2005?
I wouldn't know if the man's name was spelled right, or if the year was right, but it almost defies logic that a racer could be killed on a 3/8ths mile short track at only 90 mph, yet Ricky Rudd, Ryan Briscoe, and Michael McDowell were able to survive theirs at over 170 (Briscoe was going over 200).
No, I've never left the West Coast. I'm from Oregon. I've been to Cottage Grove a few times, though not for the Outlaws or any nationally known drivers, when I was 11 or 12.
I also drove to the 2007 Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland; the first, and so far, only major auto race I have been to. No accidents there! Everyone drove well, even at the standing start, which was predicted to be doom and gloom at the Festival Curves, where I sat. I didn't get to see Paul Newman up close, though! RIP
Well, you must go see a cup race, my friend, but don't go to Fontana to see it. That is some boring racing. I guess the nearest track that would have some good stuff is at Vegas. They banked the track a lot more a few years ago, and it's a lot better. The Grand Prix sounded like a lot of fun.
Sorry; I'd NEVER attend a Cup race these days. I don't even watch them on TV anymore. Brian France really squatted and squeezed one all over NASCAR; I can't stand to watch this plastic crap they call racing. I still enjoy the Winston Cup archives, and the minor series today (mainly USAR Pro Cup), but NASCAR (now NA$CAR) lost me as a fan when they made so many changes that I can't recognise the series anymore. I tried watching a Cup race this fall, and I couldn't watch more than 10 laps.
Wow nice video. I couldn't believe some of them earlier crashes killed people, there so miner compared to the ones you see today. now days if they didn't have safety equitement they have people would die almost every race.
Miner?, You mean minor....the thing is those wrecks were anything but minor. For instance the JD McDuffie impact is one of the worst the entire sport of auto racing has ever seen. The cars back then were just as fast if not faster than they are today.
Alot of people says that Dale Sr. crash didn't look fatal. After seeing 0:50 of his crash it hurts to see it. All the sudden you are driving fast then a hit into a wall like that. It is scary looking.
Yes but still. If he didn't hit the wall he wouldn't have died. Look at the moment agian. It was like going over I think was 150 mph and then slamming into a wall like that. Thats just scary.
i understand that.but it wasnt the crash that killed him.something else killed him.like somethin g broke on the car.like a seatbelt.there was alot of talk about it for the first week or so and then all the talked stopped.rumor has it he use to unbuckle his seatbelt on the last lap.also they were talking about how he didnty like the sealtbelt mounting and he tried to modify the belt.his face was smashed.you dont smash your face on that little of a crash.theres alot more that they arent telling us
they had the hans device but it was opotional to wear it he didnt wear it for some reason (i guess for comfort) and wen he hit the wall his head went forward and he died after earnhardt died its a rule in nascar that u have to wear it
Dang... This proves how much of a dangerous sport this is, well was now that they use HANS Devices(like what DLine87 said). But still at the end all those accidents still look like they would be fatal O.o
I have a friend that's on Hendrick Motorsports' teardown crew. When the cars come back on Monday they strip down the cars. He got to see that car up close and he said if it hadn't been the COT, Gordon would have been killed in that wreck. The engine block was pushed through the firewall and the end of it connecting to the trans was poking through just to the other side of the shifter. Scary shit, hey? Thank God for the Car of Tomorrow.
It is really sad when drivers die. I am glad that the safety advances have come from just open faced helmets, goggles, concrete walls, to Safer Barriers, HANS devices, The COT, The Roll Cage, The Window net, The rubber fuel cells. Take a look at the Micheal Micdowell crash, as well as the Carl Edwards crash, and they walked away. We still miss the drivers, even those who died in the air, not in a race car.
First of all, "he" was a she. And she didn't know he was there because it happened during practice. The Arca series then didn't have spotters during pratice.
realy sad that baldwin was in coma for 11yr then died!!! must have been real hard for family after waiting for loved one to come back just to die,,,,,,,forts to the family
im curious to see what j.d.'s impact looked like in real time, slowed down it wouldn't look as bad as it normally would, that was a horrible impact, rip
Well they may let them have alittle freedom. Because they did alot more stuff to make it more safe before the required HANS. Because they thaought they had what needed to be for a bad crash. Turns out they didn't.
yeah, it took Earnhardt to die, before Nascar decided to do something about safety. Something they could've done a long time ago and saved lives. If not for Earnhardts death that day, I really do believe David Reuitiman and Jeff Gordon would be dead from those impacts they took.
i would put petty at a close 2nd to micheal waltrips horrific crash at bristol in 1990, the car was completly destroyed, even darrel waltrip admitted that he was sure he just watched his brother die
0:40... most unlikely death no spotters were around :(

devenci 2 years ago
No, I didn't accidentally reply to you. I was just telling you that some people accidentally spell peace wrong like pieces.
DFDSFUEIFH 2 years ago
Oh did I spelled P in RIP as piece? I hate when I do that. Alot of times I will spell pieces as peace but yea that was just a careless mistake.

It is really sad when drivers die. I am glad that the safety advances have come from just open faced helmets, goggles, concrete walls, to Safer Barriers, HANS devices, The COT, The Roll Cage, The Window net, The rubber fuel cells. Take a look at the Micheal Micdowell crash, as well as the Carl Edwards crash, and they walked away. We still miss the drivers, even those who died in the air, not in a race car.

The driver did not see the stopped car, he was focusing on something inside the car, probably. Crew chief error, he should have warned him.

First of all, "he" was a she. And she didn't know he was there because it happened during practice. The Arca series then didn't have spotters during pratice.

Some of the accidents didn't look that bad, it goes to show how car saftey has improved. God Bless to all the brave drivers

im curious to see what j.d.'s impact looked like in real time, slowed down it wouldn't look as bad as it normally would, that was a horrible impact, rip
sabbathbassdude14 3 years ago
It's crazy, if they didnt put in safety features many more great drivers would have died.
fallingup7 3 years ago
Well they may let them have alittle freedom. Because they did alot more stuff to make it more safe before the required HANS. Because they thaought they had what needed to be for a bad crash. Turns out they didn't.
devenci 2 years ago
Before dales death the HANS device was optional now its required
killerclownee 3 years ago
yeah, it took Earnhardt to die, before Nascar decided to do something about safety. Something they could've done a long time ago and saved lives. If not for Earnhardts death that day, I really do believe David Reuitiman and Jeff Gordon would be dead from those impacts they took.
jthornton17 3 years ago
you have the exact view as i do on the subject =]
pwnzor3000 2 years ago
Micheal McDowell not David Reutimann. It would be sad because Jeff Gordon is my all time favorite driver. I would be sad if he died.

before i believe before they gave the safety rules richard petty's crash is the BEST EXAMPLE of the worst crash possible to survive.
ycenstra54 3 years ago
i would put petty at a close 2nd to micheal waltrips horrific crash at bristol in 1990, the car was completly destroyed, even darrel waltrip admitted that he was sure he just watched his brother die
