- After making last week's video I found some debris clips and decided to make a video of Nascar's Strangest Debris Cautions. I have also decided to start uploading instead of premiering because many of you guys said you liked uploads instead of premieres. Thank you guys so much for watching and make sure to like and subscribe!

I still believe that the whole stage racing thing came about so fans wouldn't complain about those mystery debris cautions they used to throw. Those were the ones where they didn't actually show the debris on camera. My dad and I would always say, "Brian France must be getting bored" because it always seemed to happen when one driver had a massive lead for a long time.
ShyteKreek46 the France’s were ruining NASCAR back then.
Mystery debris cautions…🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Got any dates and laps on those?
@@sludge8506 I mean, I haven't kept log books of every lap for the last 20 years but I do remember quite often wondering why the debris wasn't being shown on camera. My dad would be asking the same questions and we both thought it was a little fishy that, a lot of times, they wouldn't say what the debris was or show the car it came off of.
@@ShyteKreek46 Okay. 👍👍👍
"I've seen the caution lights come off the wall before"
next up - the caution lights
What i noticed most about this video is how much better the race coverage on TV was in years past than it has been the last couple of years., you can't even see the racing on FOX any more as they have graphics on the screen all the time covering up the racing action.
CopperCettle I never knew how much I loved the old style ticker until they changed to the current one
I never understand the need for that change. It's like one of those "Why fix it, if it isn't broken?" I like the 2001-2013 coverages. When the ticker is at the top scrolling from right to left.
@@chach7339 I have sent at least 10 emails to fox sports complaining about this, google the email address if you want to complain about it, maybe if enough people complain they will go back to the smaller graphics at the top of the screen, also NBC sports has adopted the same graphics for their Indy racing coverage this year, i will also be complaining to them too!
CopperCettle I might just do that. Thanks
They also change the position list instantly now, instead of each lap. Drives me insane. When I see a driver in the list, they're moved elsewhere.
Wow, the racing surfaces have a vendetta against Gordon
I will beat you the fuc up, keep your mouth respectful
Another: inflatable Tropicana orange making laps on the front stretch.
Wasn’t really a caution as it was during qualifying laps but funny as hell nevertheless
That cable at Charlotte. I was at that race. It whipped a fan in the back of the head behind us
Slugger "where the hell did i put my notebook" Crew "you sat it down right over here" Slugger "over where?" Crew "right on the the yellow table by the door" NASCAR " caution on the track" Slugger "DAMN IT DAMN IT" lol sorry slugger we've all been there brother
I have seen some of these before and they still blow my mind, it’s a wonder that cable didn’t do more damage than it did
The caution lights one is ridiculous
The stack of notes was pretty ridiculous, too.
Carl Edwards: "I dont know what the caution was for. I really hope it for... you know something we needed a yellow for cause, we were runnin really good."
9:34 I'd like to know where I can buy these NASCAR beyblades
BEYBLADE BURST LET IT RIP
9:35 - *Cue the theme to **_BeyBlade..._*
10:13 Let it RIP!
Or: You spin me right round baby right round
*senfield*
I don't remember Jamie McMurray disobeying "The Reed Sorenson Rule"... Good to know...
Ultimate23Dragon 😂
One quick one you missed
-Michigan 2017 (forgot what race) cowboy hat.
I know that this did not bring out a caution but it almost mirrored the 2010 Aaron’s 499 with “Jack Roush’s hat (cat in-the cat).”
I feel bad for Ty Dillion, if you remember, that was about to be is best finish in 13th.
0:30 2025 aero package
Now do a video on the 1,200 phantom cautions.
I won't say questionable cautions don't happen. But I can say without a shadow of doubt, just because you don't _see_ a problem, doesn't mean there _isn't_ a problem.
August 19, 2001. ARCA race on the one mile dirt track in Springfield, Ill. Around lap 70-ish, one guy on the flagstand disappears. He had a heart attack. It was me.
Odd coincidence. Dean Roper, truck racer Tony's dad, dies in his race car due to a heart attack, about twenty laps before I had mine. So much goes on at a race people don't see. Radio troubles which cause a misunderstanding, honorary starter bumping the caution light switch and turning it on. Getting an electrical shock when you touch the metal flagstand rail and the catch fence. Almost getting hit in the head with a piece of exhaust tubing, getting hit by lugnuts that get spit out from underneath the spinning tires of a car leaving pit road (also could be the cause of vibrations, or tire failures damaging the carcass of the tire), power failures, hornets nest in the flagstand. All of these things and more have happened to me. And that's just my time working with ARCA and occasional races with NASCAR. Doesn't include the times I was driving (locally), working on a pit or safety crew, or as a spotter.
Sorry so long, but sometimes when things aren't what the seem, and people don't see it and others get blamed for something that they had nothing to do with, well, you get tired of it. Especially when it's something you were involved in.
@DDS029
I remember I was at dover one year for the fall race and there was a pretty bad wreck. Later they had to throw the yellow to let the ambulance cross the track to bring a driver to a local hospital. I guess the heliocopter wasnt back yet, or was busy.
At one time at Dover, that was the only way in and out of the track. There was no tunnel, and their were small buildings spread out over the infield for track operations including the horse racing track, so no room for a helicopter. That did change after a total redo of the infield.
Under the beautiful sun siney skies.
Think the announcer got tongue tied
Another strangest debris caution is 2018 NASCAR xfinity race at Charlotte motor speedway: the black flag board fall from the flagstand
2:33 I remember that caution when I use to watch Nascar. Still gives me a laugh
2:58 they knocked the LIGHTS out of it
The funniest part, i think the uploader did what Motorsports Moments did with his Top 100 Supercars crashes regarding the caution lights, the clip immediately before it the announcer said he's seen the caution lights fall off the wall before and the caution lights were the very next clip
0:04 that one car spinning out: *SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT*
Those phantom debris cautions are pretty strange...
Jet fuel on the banking from hitting the track dryer counts as debris... I'll make up any excuse to see Juan Pablo Montoya clobber the jet dryer when his car broke...
i remember the Kurt Busch broken rim race...he went on to win the championship due to that incident...instead of changing the tire under green, he got to change it under yellow
You didn't get the all time best. In the 80's, turn 4, Daytona, Bobby Allison's rear bumper. Not the bumper bar, not the bumper cover. The stock, metal rear bumper! Speculation was that it was rigged to get knocked off if Bobby slowed down to avoid something, someone might tap it, or in a tight draft, knocking it off. Except it fell off without contact. I think Gary Nelson was the crew chief. Second only to Smokie Yunick, when it came to "questionable" rule compliance.
2:41 wow that's the caution light
0:01 what happened to the guy in the top left corner 🤷🏻♂️
He went into pit lane. It's on a fairly steep incline, so yeah, I see why you got confused.
@@alemarion the hill into the pit there basically says "you aint rolling her back on empty"
@@SaintedPIacebo: Pretty much. 😅
At the top of that hill is where my friend hit the deer I mentioned in another comment.
8:28 much like Bathurst 2014, but the result was two cars in the wall and a red flag suspension there.
Just wait until a hot dog gets thrown on the track at *Martinsville*
Look at those packed stands at 2:05
The guy retrieve the tire at 6:30 is the craziest thing ever. you know that car are driving a 200mph and sometime it can be out of control.
I am guessing that was his last time over the pit wall.
Especially coming off 4 at Atlanta.
There`s another strange debris caution: the black flag board fall from the flagstand during the xfinity race at Charlotte motor speedway in 2016
That tire going out on the track is the difference between a champion Kurt Busch and a non-champion Kurt Busch
Coooolio
A yellah caused by the yellah
this video is great.
There was a flying axle at martinsville this year
Those spitters are strong if they can turn a piece of concrete into dust.
a bumper bar isn't considered strange --- it happens a lot
Please make a NASCAR’s most violent t-bones
Uh, there was one in '64 at Daytona, back in the day of stock "X" frames. Driver's seat and steering wheel was on the passenger's side. And no, he didn't make it.
Watch the sportsman race, first or second year Daytona was open. ('59 or '60) Thirty-seven cars. You'll see every type of accident possible. On RUclips, search "biggest wreck NASCAR history".
Here after one of the signs at Texas blew away and all over the track
10:16 "And how many weeks is he going to shit parts on television?!"
*shed
I remember when an exhaust pipe came off a car, and the nascar crew couldn't pick it up because it was so hot. Not sure when or where that was
I went to pick up a piece of brake rotor against the inside wall at Salem at the end of practice. Sometimes the brain switches off and you forget how hot those things get. I thought it had been there for awhile longer than it was. Right on the front stretch, in front of the grandstands. Did I look the part of the village idiot.
@@DDS029 I blew my exhaust from the manifold last summer and I thought I could fix it on scene by pushing it back in, needless to say that idea went away shortly after attempting it
Yeah, sometimes hot trumps smart. Especially cast pieces. They never seem to LOOK hot.
@@DDS029 lol we must look for stuff to be red
Has there ever been a caution for the caution flag being dropped on the racetrack?
You forgot the big orange at Chicago land bro that’s the wackiest caution ever
kycj25 Gaming That wasn’t a caution, it was during qualifying. The driver was allowed to try again after they got rid of the orange.
Yes but he showed one during practice so why not that one
kycj25 Gaming Because it was a red flag.
@@jbrose40: It was still pretty weird. 🤣
God video
9:35 what's that clip when Wallace dropped debris?
Why did that Road America one have to be a caution? Its a 4 mile track with a 2.5 minute lap time. Just send someone to jump the fence and pick the damn thing up.
Oh wait, they needed a double file restart.
Probably some rules against people on track during the race. It may seem like common sense to just get it but at some point someone with less common sense will get smoked, like the gas man chasing a tire tried to do. Blanket rule to make sure it doesn't happen ever. I can live with that.
They send marshals onto the track in F1 races on tracks much shorter
@@AlonsoRules They also do yellow flag sections at those times, so essentially they throw the caution and have a guy run out and get it. European racing has a different safety culture, they allow a bit more risk in an attempt to keep the show going. If it were me having to run out there I would rather do it under the American style of caution.
I worked in ARCA for about nine years, a couple of those years part time for NASCAR. Only twice was someone sent out near the track to pick up anything. Both were under caution. I was asked to pick up something at the beginning of pit road when I was the one who opened or closed pit road. And once someone to get a tire that rolled away. Both were on tracks over a mile with the pace car on or almost to the backstretch. (My 94 year-old mom would have had enough time) Both times they were races that was going way too long, and wanting to shorten up a caution four or five laps after we just had one, helped make those calls.
Wow
Why couldn't they move the debris near the start finish line in the first clup
Cant have anyone step onto the racing surface under green, safety violation. If any safety worker has to come out near the track they HAVE to throw a yellow. Just like the rolling tire in the infield at Atlanta and a tire carrier ran out from pit road to go get it. A car could have easily spun off 4 and slid through the grass.
Well the could of done it when nobody's coming
@@racingjimmie48yt83 safety rules are rules, any worker that would have stepped over under green wouldve been fired immediately *shrug*
edit: theres also a car driving around with a sign over his hood which will eventually have to stop and drop it somewhere so the full course caution wouldve come out either way
@Ryan Espinoza most of the sign was in the grass plus they could of done it quickly and they were far far away from the finish line
@@racingjimmie48yt83: I'm guessing you didn't pay close attention to his comment.
They have that rule in place for safety reasons. You never know when a car is gonna come back around, ESPECIALLY at Road America, with that steep incline.
Damn, everyone (including me) loved Jeff Gordon, but, uh... I don't think the tracks like him.
What I’ve learned don’t trust the pavement
I bet his radiator is not too happy.
Was the xfinity race 2017
U aren't running out to the middle of the track anyway ur just running out to get a hold of the debris and then u come back
If something happened that put a piece of debris in a bad place, it can put a car there too.
You forgot about Daytona.
#SLIGHTLYEARLY
That one at road America is so dumb , I mean it takes about a little over two minutes to go around the track so why throw a caution just go out there real fast get the sign off the track and let them race makes no sense
