Bobby Allison puts a big hole in Talladegas fence

Bobby Allison blows a right rear tire in the tri-oval and flies into the catchfence. The fence did it's job keeping that car out of the crowd. Although Allison's car did rip out a rather large section of the fence, so the race was stopped. Spectators only suffered minor injuries.

Was this the race where the entire field qualified at over 200 mph?

@Ralroost well, you gotta think that the cars are designed to create tremendous amounts of downforce going forward. If you reverse that flow of air, you have the same machine creating an inverse, great amount of up-force.

@Ralroost if you ever watch some of the big crashes in ARCA, there's a lot of rookies in that series. They take way too long to slow down even for stock cars lol.

@erasetoimprove I guess it seems weird to me because I am more a formula 1 fan, where the cars are super light in comparison

@Ralroost people don't understand how long it takes to get a 3,500 pound race car to stop. It's not like stopping a car on the highway. That's part of the challenge. Plus back in the 80s, you weren't required to slow down for the yellow flag until you passed the start finish line. The crash happened AT the start finish line, so they weren't slowing down all that much anyway or else they would lose positions. Now a days when the yellow is out you have to slow down immediately.

Would have been a lot worse if there was another car flying into that same spot right after Bobby hit it. thank God that didn't happen!!
