@bedwelldawson No, it was a classic blowover.

this crash was massive it was weird how he went airbourne.

@ROBLOXdude95 Roof flaps are air brakes, just a different dynamic, they create aerodynamic breaking when a car is moving in a reverse direction by increasing the cars drag coefficient when it reaches a critical angle. They're even mentioned in the wikipedia article pertaining to Air Brakes...
But thanks for demonstrating your obvious knowledge.

@ramfeild66 Roof flaps, retard

As spectacular as it looks, single car flips are very rarely fatal. When a car flips the inertia of the crash is being dispersed around the car. The second impact, the force of the crash would have been absorbed entirely by the car and its driver. Sadly had he had the aero brakes NASCAR now uses to prevent blowovers, the second impact may not have happened. I have always found it bizzare why a third tier development series (which is effectively what ARCA is) runs at tracks like Talladega

that is not broadside, that is 1st degree murder.

@BangTheBomb When cars go 200mph and flip and slam into each other.

How can dringing round in a circle go so wrong ?

Check the crash of Kieth O'dor on the AVUS track in 1995. It's a bit like this one...
