Darrell Waltrip's 1991 Pepsi 400 Tumble

Thanks to TBK for this one. DW takes a wild ride in the summer race at Daytona after making contact with Joe Ruttman. Waltrip then flipped viciously 7-8 times.

@The1994Gforce No, it's definitely "The Underbird" Alan Kulwicki.

@allsmurfedup yeah, hes kind of an inspiration to me. whenever things get tough with racing (with money and broken parts) i look to him. even though he isnt around anymore. R.I.P.

@cousinearl216 Yeah DW rules!!!

So glad they paved the backstretch and added safer barriers as well. It keeps those cars from catapulting in the air one a piece of the car digs in the grass like we saw here with DW...

@vettedude418 that's because this was a foreign [french, actually] sports network broadcast.......

@erasetoimprove I know, but I was just saying. What caused the flip was all that grass. Darrell's car dug into the ground, the when it hit the strip of pavement, it just took off tumbling.

@nascarfanatic2425 definitely had plates, but honestly the roof flaps wouldn't make a difference in this kind of flip anyway

[89deason]

that car is sitting in the museum in daytona or charlotte i think

[nascarfanatic2425]

@fwayndo1 I think they did have plates, but they don't have the roof flaps, and the infield was full of grass, which makes it easy to tumble.
