  • In Ed Hinton's book, Daytona, he referred to McDuffie as one of the saddle tramps of NASCAR. Frank Warren, Blackie Wangerin, Baxter Price, & D.K. Ulrich were among those who literally went from race to race with very limited resources and almost no sponsorship. They existed race to race, paycheck to paycheck, before the days of big corporate sponsorship. To me, they are the real heroes of NASCAR.

  • why r u glad he died? what did he ever do to you?

  • Hello, this was my cousin... My maiden name is McDuffie... I am shocked to realize that people actually posted negative comments about my cousin... He left behind a wife and kids... He was a great racer to have went so long & raced without sponsership & race Independently. I really feel sad for those of you that have negative things to say about someone's death. What a miserable life you must lead. Everyone else, thank you! :)

  • this is why they put the dog leg in the track. it now slows the car down before they make this turn.

  • @littleturbo05 thats cool but sorry about your cousin it must of been hard for everybody. but i also have a great grandpa that raced and he crashed and broke his ribs but still won his car flipped over the finish line but yeah i guess ill talk to you later.

  • Today, exactly 20 years ago. RIP

  • @slideguy It woulda had the bus stop in it regardless. Tommy Kendall was seriously injured in a wreck at the same corner in the IMSA GTP race that year as well.

  • I've heard decapitated from a former crew chief, and I've heard completely cut in half from a former crew member of Jimmy Means. Tragic, but it did bring safety changes, which may have saved many lives. RIP JD Mcduffie.

  • yes sir, this was the crash that ruined the famed track by putting in the "bus stop" turn.

    Too bad, it was such a great track until the NASCAR circus started coming.

  • No, it's NOT 700! LMAO. It's 656.

  • Hello everyone Im the third cusin of JD McDuffle my mom the second and my granddaddy is the first to JD wanted to thank nyyankfan and battalionfan888 for showing me how my cusin died i never knew i was to young to remember i would have been five and thanks again for post these videos from the McDuffie family
