That came very, very close to being another 1955 Le Mans disaster. Shows how much catch fences have improved, Austin Dillon's flip in 2015 would've been a disaster with 1980's fencing.
I straight up thought that guy died in the beginning and i was like "this narrators tone sounds too excited... also, wtf is this doing in my feed at 10 pm"
@@nobblechoklad two cars collided and one of the cars hit a safety barrier and the engine flew into the crowd along with debrie and killed almost more than 100 people, one driver died and one person ran onto the track trying to avoid the fire and was hit by another racer and died, the race continued so that people leaving wouldn't stop medical help from providing aid and making it easy for the ambulances get in and out. It is the world's most deadliest racing disaster
The ONLY thing that stopped it from being Le Mans was that bump into the wall just before it went into the fence. That one smack started the car spinning the other direction and sucked a boatload of energy out of the wreck. If it hadn't the care would've continued on a upward trajectory, and when it got to the grandstands it would've basically become a 3000lb frisbee. And could've definitely injured more than 100 people with a lot of those being deaths.
TyVulpintaur And Formula One was MUCH worse: I have forgotten the number of drivers who were killed in Grand Prix races from 1961 to 1976, but it seemed as if three drivers lost their lives in Grand Prix every year before the new crop of team owners started to demand that Formula One get serious about safety in the sport. Thank God that the Grand Prix carnage was nowhere near that bad in NASCAR.
Especially in that he saw it coming, was able to identify what it was, and already knew the consequences. When these guys are running at those speeds, the constant high adrenaline level has got their brain running like an overclocked CPU.
Catch fence did exactly what it was designed to do. Instead of fearing "the end of racing in America as we know it" be glad the safety features of the circuit worked. You're never going to stop all the small shrapnel getting through the fence and causing minor injuries potentially, or they need to make ballistic glass barriers too between the catch fence and the crowd to catch the small debris.
The way they're screening off MLB parks nowadays because of safety concerns, I wouldn't be surprised to see NASCAR follow suit with just that, glass barriers like at hockey games
Remember when that happened. Had that car got into the stands, it would have been an American "Le Mans Disaster" which happened about 30 years before. That shut down racing in many European countries (Switzerland still bans motorsports)
+Zoomer30 You're right, but if that car, or heavy parts of it like the engine, transmission or back axle had been torn away and went into the crowd I suspect the death toll would have massively exceeded Le Mans. Those cars were simply too fast for the levels of safety at that time, and clearly too fast for the tyres. At those speeds the cars were pretty much unguided missiles and ANY small incident had a massive potential to turn into a complete catastrophe for multiple drivers, safety personnel and countless spectators. There was no way a driver could be reasonably expected to catch a wayward stock car at upwards of 210mph and if they did it had everything to do with the speed of their reactions and how lucky they were that day. As for the safety of the drivers, well, they said in the film that the drivers were saying the cars were too fast for safety and for a race driver to say that then you know things are really bad as race drivers never have enough speed. Everyone knows that NASCAR safety has never been cutting-edge which has certainly contributed to the deaths of many drivers but in these cars those sorts of speeds must have been pretty much like playing Russian roulette with five rounds in the gun. I'm surprised that Bobby Allison survived this, let alone walked away. If they hadn't brought in restrictor plates for the super speedways then the list of drivers who died in competition would be a whole lot longer than it is, and it's already way too long...
OMG you win the internet for that one !!! PERFECT ! I am just real glad I didn't have any drink in my mouth when I read it because I burst out laughing !!
I have seen this many times and always think 2 things: First, it is amazing that nobody was killed in the stands. And second, the #28 Havoline T-Bird is one of the best (if not the best) looking race cars of modern times.
I’m a 31 year old guy in North Wales, UK that has zero interest in NASCAR and has no idea what it’s all about. RUclips: Recommend him this. He’ll love it.
Realistically, it wasn't the speed that caused this crash, it was the lack of roof flaps, which weren't added until the mid 90's. If he had roof flaps, the car would have stayed on the ground.
Yeah but what caused it in the first place was the tire blowing due to the high speeds, yes he probably wouldn't go in the fence with flaps, but he still would have blown a tire.

I agree. I always go to comment sections to see any factual information, history or even some lighthearted memes and jokes. Instead, attention seeking squeakers saying the same shit over and over.
Recommendations _are_ weird. Most of those getting these recommendations relate to a comment like that more than the Nascar-related comments so they get liked more. Likes give people dopamine so they get happy and excited when they get them and edit their comment to show gratitude. It's really not some crazy thing that dictates a person's entire character lol.
Well, I actually love NASCAR and got recommended this like everyone else. To make a long story short, they introduced Restrictor Plates at SuperSpeedways. This invention allowed top speeds to be limited(a.k.a. slower) and made for better competition. Instead of cars being able to do 210+ mph without drafting, now the max speed is about 200 with drafting. NASCAR has gotten slower throughout time, same with IndyCar. Most taving sports are slower or cars use less power than they used too. F1 cars are slower yet run faster times due to technology improvements.
F1 is faster than it's ever been. The current generation of cars hold all the F1 records for top speeds, even on tracks which should be much slower on time and straights speed. What you're likely thinking of is the end of ground effect, which was allowing cars to pull more Gee's in a corner than even the current cars. That and the change from 1.5L turbos producing 1400hp in qualification boost, to 3.5L NA engines, making ~650-700 HP. But better engineering and areo development have since regained 1000 HP engines and 5 or 6 Gee cornering loads. At least, for now. 2022 regs will pare it back down to sensible levels of crazy.
@@wyattroncin941 You are 100% right! Technological advancements have made the cars much more efficient for lap times. The days of high power though are gone but then again they were destroying qualifying engines after a few laps so whats the point. Still my favorite F1's are 80's-Early 2000's. I cannot deal with the vacuum sound of today. V10 era probably had the best sounds ever. There was actually a V8 era in IndyCar and Car too it was hilarious. They sounded like NASCAR. I'd rather have that than today as well. But technology and safety of today is definitely worth it.
lets argue about how the US government has massacred thousands of their civilians in 9/11 by funding the terrorist group alqaeda with CIA weapons and training. because a "free" government can do this and then use their liberal news organizations they fund as well to downplay the incident, feed lies to the people, and then cause more controversy by throwing american soldiers at CIA funded terrorists, two sides of the same coin and they're fighting one another. we need to go against the government.
U want to see front row view an person with camera video is right where austin dillons car goes up into the fence at daytona an like a explosion ten feet from camera an metal fire scrapeing flipping car in fence
31 years later, I had the opportunity to meet Bobby at Huck Finn's Catfish in Pigeon Forge. He ended up joining me and the guys for dinner and told us some amazing stories, including details from this crash! What an amazing individual!
This was the reason I am a NASCAR fan for life... Not because of the wreck, but how the spent HOURS fixing the fence so that they could get back to racing. One of the first years that ESPN aired entire races.
I remember this live, I almost got a whooping cause I lost my mind & yelled OH SHIT!!! 3+ times when it happened... My dad came into my room (door flew open) WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Me: Look at this replay?! Dad: Oh shit! Calm your ass down or go outside! I was 11. 😂 😂 😂
Anyone else look this up after seeing that video of a security guy standing super close to the fence and then scrolling to the comment section and people saying he obviously hasn’t seen this crash before?
NASCAR changed when Dale Earnhardt died and it was subsequently ruined by the over-commercialization and ridiculous coverage of FOX in the midst of the 08 recession. It has never recovered. Its a different sport now. I rarely watch. NASCAR was also harmed when it caved to political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor.
The "political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor" was applied to RJR, not to NASCAR. The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement prohibits tobacco companies from sponsoring sports.
Here's a thing no one ever talks about, the problem may not actually be that the cars are to fast but rather that the tracks were never designed for the capabilities of modern engineered race cars. Daytona and Talladega were both built back in the 60s and Indianapolis is even older. I would like to see a modern superspeedway oval built specifically w/ the intent of hosting unrestricted Indy Car and NASCAR races. The design would probably be much different than those older tracks.
You do realize that the older tracks where redesigned every 10 or so years to keep them up to date so they would basically be the same if not better than new tracks built for the same purpose right?
@@Packle. I never said you said they were. And no, in the sense that a track needs to be longer to keep up with the times, they were not lengthened. You said that older modified tracks would be better than new tracks. New tracks would be longer allowing for a more gradual curve and thus meaning more speed. There isn’t a single modification you can make to any old track that would allow for that to be the case today. Unless they demolished most (if not all) of the track in question and made it much, much longer.
@@konrah1486 I was talking about the past when I said sometimes they even did some short tracks had to be made slightly longer to meet the new size requirements so a few did get made slightly longer pretty sure none of those tracks exist anymore but that still happened.
What an awesome era of NASCAR! So glad to have been apart of it. I was setting lower section just pass the dogleg with my dad, what a great memory. Thought for sure from my view that Harold Kinder was gone, thank god things turned out the way they did 👍
Greg ok then tell me some of the lies after lies and tell me why he’s a racist, cause he doesn’t like a bunch of dangerous illegal drugs in our country? Or he doesn’t like a group that is literally destroying his country?
Greg and you talking about traitors like that, Hillary Clinton is being tried for treason and child sex trafficking. Antifa and BLM are traitors, and the places like chaz I can’t remember what they’re called exactly but they’re being run by democrats, and that’s the literal definition of being traitors
@@adamfranzen62 nice to know. Look, I get it, I was being a little facetious. It's just interesting how the announcers make this sound like just a horrible event ( which it is/could be) and then a few minutes later roll with with the continuation of the race. Can't blame them really... don't know what else they actually could do. It's the lack of open dialog about the decision making that I meant to highlight. They don't touch the reasons why decisions are made. The bypass any uncomfortable reasoning. It's very media like. That's all. The real reason is all these people have shown up and there's all this money involved. A few injured or killed patrons are essentially collateral damage so the show must go on. I am not attempting to judge here, rather identify societal norms in a capitalistic venture such as auto racing, or any like event. Nothing gets in the way!! Anyway, have rambled on here to hopefully explain my comment to justify my thinking. Don't think I can do any better. Also, good point about Lemans.... same decision making.
@@gausselim1474 I always heard that Lemans kept racing specifically so there wasn't a traffic jam of spectators all leaving at once while they were still trying to get ambulances in and out of the race course. But at any rate, this wreck did change things, at Daytona and Talladega anyway. It lead to the restrictor plates to keep the mph in check.
Well they actually fixed the gaping hole in the grandstand after the crash, although it was about a 2+ hour delay, and the race had to be shortened by 10 laps because of Darkness.
the video came back around because the algorithm decided to and now the comment section is full of talk about all of what happened recently that was terrible timing for youtube to re recommend this video
this wasnt the "oh if it had been a little worse nascar would be finished" deal that this documentary claims it to be. le'mans had a crash that killed 83 spectators and injuring 180 more. f1 had a crash in the early days which killed the driver and 15 other fans. rally racing. . . i mean if you have ever seen a clip of MODERN DAY rally racing you can get a sense of the spectator fatalities that might have happened in history. they are selling this a little bit too hard i think, just because nascar has the luxury of being a fairly safe motorsport.
Nascar was probably the safest sport from a spectator view point. Rally especially in the 70s and 80s was playing with fire of you were a spectator and F1 had been quite safe for awhile. Driver wise I'm hesitant to say. Rally back in the day had more crashes but they often weren't as fast as road racing crashes. F1 crashes weren't always max speed, in fact most of them are going into braking zones so they'd already be slowing down... Hecc I'd say indycar would have been spookier from a driver perspective
RandomUser M you're the perfect example of what years of incest does to people Seriously you even had to pay our scientists so they launch someone on the moon for you
Watched this live and remember it like it was 10 seconds ago. Bob Jenkins summed it up perfectly with "Bobby Allison with a horrible crash". And the right rear tire wasn't the cause. It was lap 20...he was running his qualifying motor and it just gave up. Several con rods snapped breaking the crankshaft which then launched itself down thru the oil pan, onto the track, severed the driveshaft and mayhem ensued. The driveshaft struck Waltrip's windshield coming within inches of killing him.

Cars still flip like that these days it's just much less likely .
This one of the crashes that encourage them to come up with flaps on the car's.
Yeah but what caused it in the first place was the tire blowing due to the high speeds, yes he probably wouldn't go in the fence with flaps, but he still would have blown a tire.

U want to see front row view an person with camera video is right where austin dillons car goes up into the fence at daytona an like a explosion ten feet from camera an metal fire scrapeing flipping car in fence
31 years later, I had the opportunity to meet Bobby at Huck Finn's Catfish in Pigeon Forge. He ended up joining me and the guys for dinner and told us some amazing stories, including details from this crash! What an amazing individual!
Dang, I'm jealous and won't be able to sleep for half a night...
This was the reason I am a NASCAR fan for life... Not because of the wreck, but how the spent HOURS fixing the fence so that they could get back to racing. One of the first years that ESPN aired entire races.
Bro....RUclips's algorithm....I think this video got recommended to everyone in a days notice
Yep me too
Such a cool old man more worried about everyone else not himself good on ya sir glad he's ok
I have not seen one lap of Nascar in 5 years! Used to be great, now I have my Sundays back.
Bruh. Recommended to everyone right now
Cosmin Lucacel can't deny
Don’t know why this was in my recommended, but I’m glad it was
0:37 I actually thought that my phone ran out of charge
Me to XDDDDDDDD
I remember this live, I almost got a whooping cause I lost my mind & yelled OH SHIT!!! 3+ times when it happened... My dad came into my room (door flew open) WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Me: Look at this replay?! Dad: Oh shit! Calm your ass down or go outside! I was 11. 😂 😂 😂
You sir are funny lol
That is funny, a cool Dad, he was reasonable and gave you a choice.
Tfw the video is over 6yrs old but 90% of the comments are less than a few hours old
14 mins ago lmao
Anyone else look this up after seeing that video of a security guy standing super close to the fence and then scrolling to the comment section and people saying he obviously hasn’t seen this crash before?
Guess it was only me n u
Yus
everybody just got this in their recommended
This videos has been blessed by the algorithm in 2022.

NASCAR changed when Dale Earnhardt died and it was subsequently ruined by the over-commercialization and ridiculous coverage of FOX in the midst of the 08 recession. It has never recovered. Its a different sport now. I rarely watch. NASCAR was also harmed when it caved to political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor.
The "political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor" was applied to RJR, not to NASCAR. The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement prohibits tobacco companies from sponsoring sports.
Agree 100 percent .As a avid NASCAR fan . My late dad met Dale not much before that horrible day.
The fucked up thing is I only watch Nascar now for the crashes.
This is entertainment for the impaired. Only an idiot could stare at cars going in a circle for two hours. OH, AND THEY ALL CHEAT.
NASCAR has too many gimmicks now. NASCAR did it to themselves
so im assuming im not the only one here from recommended
Nope
This was my first race. My dad took me. This year is the first race I've missed since.
We have been gathered once again my brothers of fate
Here's a thing no one ever talks about, the problem may not actually be that the cars are to fast but rather that the tracks were never designed for the capabilities of modern engineered race cars. Daytona and Talladega were both built back in the 60s and Indianapolis is even older. I would like to see a modern superspeedway oval built specifically w/ the intent of hosting unrestricted Indy Car and NASCAR races. The design would probably be much different than those older tracks.
You do realize that the older tracks where redesigned every 10 or so years to keep them up to date so they would basically be the same if not better than new tracks built for the same purpose right?
@@Packle. “Redesigned” doesn’t mean the entire length of the track was extended.
@@konrah1486 Didn't say they were. And in some cases they actually were.
@@Packle. I never said you said they were. And no, in the sense that a track needs to be longer to keep up with the times, they were not lengthened. You said that older modified tracks would be better than new tracks. New tracks would be longer allowing for a more gradual curve and thus meaning more speed. There isn’t a single modification you can make to any old track that would allow for that to be the case today. Unless they demolished most (if not all) of the track in question and made it much, much longer.
@@konrah1486 I was talking about the past when I said sometimes they even did some short tracks had to be made slightly longer to meet the new size requirements so a few did get made slightly longer pretty sure none of those tracks exist anymore but that still happened.
Nobody:
RUclips: aight lets put mcqueen on recomended
Except Allison and DW and the rest of these guys were more badass
The algorithm has brought us together again. See you all in the next recommended video.
I see the algorithm brought us together again.
I see it has
Yes
well hello
C u again in 5 years
Everyone: Bobby Allison’s crash was the worst thing to happen to nascar!
Carl Edwards, Austin Dillon and Brad Keselowski: *Are we a joke to you?*
Don't forget Ryan Neumans crash
Artemys Shadøwed yeah that too, though I don’t recall him hitting the catch fence in his crash
Milton Holley ?
DOM HOW THE HELL DID I FIND YOU HERE?!
Cjoker Da Boi I DONT KNOW, HOW DID YOU 😂
Good morning my fellow recommended neighbors.
Hows it going bro
Morning
Good night my asian recommended neighbors
Mornin
Mark Mendez night from Australia lads
See you in 6 years when this gets recommended again
I see the algorithm has brought us all here together.
'sup
That car could’ve killed 50 people. Look up Le Mans 1955 when 83 were killed. Mercedes Benz didn’t race again for 34 years. Could’ve been a lot worse.
Big difference, Le Mans didn't have that protective fence between the cars and spectators. The big miracle is that he walked away.
Mercedes didn't race for how long? Lol...wrong facts there
And also the year: 80s vs 50s safety changed in the years
RUclips has brought us together again
Wassup
@@stiyp7485 WHASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What an awesome era of NASCAR! So glad to have been apart of it. I was setting lower section just pass the dogleg with my dad, what a great memory. Thought for sure from my view that Harold Kinder was gone, thank god things turned out the way they did 👍
Harold was a world war I I veteran he had seen worse and he was cool under fire
See yall in 6 minutes at the next recommandation
Oke
Hello
This was when racing was worth watching. I miss those days!
Greg dude you need to calm your gregsticles, and what does trump have to do with this?
Greg ok then tell me some of the lies after lies and tell me why he’s a racist, cause he doesn’t like a bunch of dangerous illegal drugs in our country? Or he doesn’t like a group that is literally destroying his country?
Greg and if trump is such a racist, then why did he officially declare Juneteenth a holiday, but Obama didn’t? Funny huh
Greg and you talking about traitors like that, Hillary Clinton is being tried for treason and child sex trafficking. Antifa and BLM are traitors, and the places like chaz I can’t remember what they’re called exactly but they’re being run by democrats, and that’s the literal definition of being traitors
The RUclips recomendation troll must be working hard.
Welcome to RUclips recommending 6+ years old videos
HAHAHAHAHHA lmao
yes
Hmm, no I just search "Richard Petty crash." and I found this
Who else got this in your recommendations on september 13th?
im here
Veteri S well same here
Me too
Ikr wth
same
RUclips recommendation is really weird
I was here. YT Recommended 12/9/‘20
Don't watch it. The algorithm wins.
Why do i get this stuff in my recommended after 6 years? Im not complaining because i like it.
I guess a lot of people just got this in their recommend by all the comments so recent ago
Yup.
Yes
Gentelmen of recomendation we are here again
So we all got this in our recommendations?
Yup
I seen it Nd ion know why I clicked on it
Everyone just got recommended this, i see comments from 1 min ago
why are we all here at the same time
"Oh my, people could have been killed. The fence is gone and we are going too fast. Well, what the hell, let's race some more." Only in Alabama.
They kept the race going after 80+ people were killed in Le Mans by a car flying into the crowd.
@@adamfranzen62 nice to know. Look, I get it, I was being a little facetious. It's just interesting how the announcers make this sound like just a horrible event ( which it is/could be) and then a few minutes later roll with with the continuation of the race. Can't blame them really... don't know what else they actually could do. It's the lack of open dialog about the decision making that I meant to highlight. They don't touch the reasons why decisions are made. The bypass any uncomfortable reasoning. It's very media like. That's all. The real reason is all these people have shown up and there's all this money involved. A few injured or killed patrons are essentially collateral damage so the show must go on. I am not attempting to judge here, rather identify societal norms in a capitalistic venture such as auto racing, or any like event. Nothing gets in the way!! Anyway, have rambled on here to hopefully explain my comment to justify my thinking. Don't think I can do any better. Also, good point about Lemans.... same decision making.
@@gausselim1474 I always heard that Lemans kept racing specifically so there wasn't a traffic jam of spectators all leaving at once while they were still trying to get ambulances in and out of the race course.
But at any rate, this wreck did change things, at Daytona and Talladega anyway. It lead to the restrictor plates to keep the mph in check.
Well they actually fixed the gaping hole in the grandstand after the crash, although it was about a 2+ hour delay, and the race had to be shortened by 10 laps because of Darkness.
A Georgia woman named Miriam Albright succumbed 3 days after this crash from injuries sustained from flying debris. They didn't mention that. Sad.
If she didn’t die on camera, it never killed her! /s
Never heard that
And the same thing still happens despite restrictor plates.
+JJPTV but there not going 210 mph, 190-200 well within the specs of the fence, dillin is an example of this point
plus we have safer barriers now
And the cars have ducting and flaps to release air to help prevent becoming airborne blah blah blah
and NASCAR used these crashes to market itself
Got love technology today
the video came back around because the algorithm decided to and now the comment section is full of talk about all of what happened recently that was terrible timing for youtube to re recommend this video
this wasnt the "oh if it had been a little worse nascar would be finished" deal that this documentary claims it to be. le'mans had a crash that killed 83 spectators and injuring 180 more. f1 had a crash in the early days which killed the driver and 15 other fans. rally racing. . . i mean if you have ever seen a clip of MODERN DAY rally racing you can get a sense of the spectator fatalities that might have happened in history.
they are selling this a little bit too hard i think, just because nascar has the luxury of being a fairly safe motorsport.
Nascar was probably the safest sport from a spectator view point. Rally especially in the 70s and 80s was playing with fire of you were a spectator and F1 had been quite safe for awhile.
Driver wise I'm hesitant to say. Rally back in the day had more crashes but they often weren't as fast as road racing crashes. F1 crashes weren't always max speed, in fact most of them are going into braking zones so they'd already be slowing down...
Hecc I'd say indycar would have been spookier from a driver perspective
@Yung Jxhno Group B: So fast that the accident has already happened before the car has started moving.
And... Just as the top comments, da algorithm has brought us all together here 💀
Fr
As bad as that was those years of the 80s were the best years for nascar when racing was real.
Meanwhile I'm here in Germany doing 200 on public roads. Legally.
never go full Pony meanwhile I'm here in America shooting guns. legally. hah I guess this is the world we live in
loren roberts we can do that to. From a desert Eagle to a MP5. We just don't wave them around in public like morons
RandomUser M you seem kinda butthurt. Just keep your diabetes to yourself...
RandomUser M you're the perfect example of what years of incest does to people
Seriously you even had to pay our scientists so they launch someone on the moon for you
never go full Pony Not all of America is fucking incest, it seems like you are saying that, so at least we aren't responsible for the Holocaust.
Wtf this was made 6 years ago?!? Why is this in my recommended, and why are all the comments from 40 minutes ago?
6 mins ago from u
Watched this live and remember it like it was 10 seconds ago. Bob Jenkins summed it up perfectly with "Bobby Allison with a horrible crash". And the right rear tire wasn't the cause. It was lap 20...he was running his qualifying motor and it just gave up. Several con rods snapped breaking the crankshaft which then launched itself down thru the oil pan, onto the track, severed the driveshaft and mayhem ensued. The driveshaft struck Waltrip's windshield coming within inches of killing him.
Good job RUclips recommending me this. RUclips is smart.
