Anyone who complains about pausing should just watch the original. I've already watched it. now i get to watch it again from a different perspective. Pause to your hearts content, we're here for your personality, not the video you're reacting to. keep up the great work bro
Marcus! Thank you for the kind words, they really REALLY mean a lot to read, I'm glad you're here and enjoying, even if you've seen it before, thank you
NASCAR Reactions are back! And off with a bang, too! It was your reaction to EmpLemon's Revenge video that convinced me to subscribe to your channel, and we return with another major EmpLemon documentary reaction! Welcome back, Jack and Yessica!
With that quote from Cale, remember he’s seen guys get T-boned without seatbelts, fly out of the track through the wall, and guys flop out of the window while flipping, all within the last 10 years
They found LW!! He died earlier this year. Larry Earnest Wright. That happened back in the day when if you had a car you’re probably qualified. Turns out he wasn’t lmao. The background check was basically having a car and if nobody recognized you, you must have done your driving in a part of the country they don’t pay attention to. It’s not like they could google your results
Why would I cut anything out, it was informative and well put together, anyone who cuts this video up is doing a disservice to EmpLemon and his hard work
Thabksfor reviewing this. Its definitely an important part of NASCAR history and you'll never watch another Talladega race the same way again after watching this lol. Look forward to the live stream. Go Larson!
I know you only upload racing content, but Emplemon’s content is just so good that I recommend literally every video he has. Two Days in Moore, Pandora’s Box, the Art of the Choke, Stanislov Petrov, Homer’s Enemy, I’m trying to give you a small list but I can’t, that’s how good his videos are. Highly recommend reacting to them.
@@ExploringTheSmokeEmplemon is probably one of the most underrated RUclipsrs ever, so hey I recommend all of his works when I can! Thanks for considering!
I've been there about 10 times. I've been to several other tracks but Talladega is by far my favorite. Its about a 9 hour drive but it is totally worth it. The Talladega experience is 2nd to none.
Also, if you ever make it state-side i recommend checking out a nascar race. It'll be hot and sunny so you'll need water, sunscreen, and willpower. One thing that doesn't come through in video is the noise. It is so loud and so fast that it will literally take your breath away. Earplugs are mandatory in my opinion.
I went for the first time on April 20th of this year, it was an amazing experience only about a 2 hour drive from me. I plan to go back to this fall in October and before that I’m going back to Atlanta motor speedway. I hope you get to go to a nascar race one day. Thanks for the video!
My favorite driver growing up was Jimmie Johnson. Ever since he retired from full time I just cheer for a few different drivers. Kyle Larson i would say is closest to being my favorite because I’m from right next to his hometown.
Been to Dega dozens of times myself. Grew up in Birmingham about 45 mins away from the track. My dad was a fan since he was a kid and lived near all the guys in the Alabama Gang like the Allisons and Red Farmer. He use to watch them wrench on their cars during the week riding bikes down to their house and then watch them race at the local short track on the weekends. He was at the first race weekend disaster and the several following. When I got old enough he would take me every year. I was there for so many famous moments until I moved to Florida 7 years ago. Now I get to go to Daytona every year.
Great Video! I love Talladega, been going there the last three years. Track has always been dangerous, claimed many lives in ARCA races and a couple in Cup Series. Emps video was amazing at describing the track history and all the weird things that happened there. Great reaction as well bud 🤟
I love the part of the story where the car entered by the descendants of those seminoles fighting like hell, being chased me outnumbered by the US military finally got their win back
Bit of a follow up on the LW Wright story: In 2022, the guys from the Scene Vault Podcast actually managed uncover his true identity and track him down - and even have him on their podcast to tell his side of the story, which they released on the 40th anniversary of his infamous NASCAR debut. He ended up getting arrested and charged with theft, burglary, and evading arrest in February of 2023, and eventually passed away in late January of this year.
I go every year...I have tickets for seats on the start/finish line. I have been to every race since 1990. It's not just the racing but the experience of being at the track.Once you go to a race at Talladega Super Speedway...You get hooked.
I never got to see a race at Talladega but I did get to go to the Richard Petty driving experience there. We didn't get to go full speed but still ripping around that track at 165mph was something I'll never forget
I’ve been waiting so long to see this guy react to this, I can’t wait for the two days in Moore reaction I honestly love when you pause it and talk about stuff by the way
@@Clementinewoofwoof I appreciate the kind words Clementine!! I'll be sure to pause more, just maaaaaybe not so kick on the hour long vids 😂 glad you're here and enjoying
I live in Birmingham just about 30 minutes west of Talladega. I’ve been to the track three times total the first time as part of the Boy Scouts of Alabama we actually had an entire statewide scout camp out on the infield of Dega so so so much fun and I have actually done a nighttime neon glowfoam foot race around the outside of the track(look it up online), so much fun and it’s every bit as intimidating and massive as its legend tells. The area around Talladega is gorgeous it is the very trailing end of the Appalachian Mountain Range and it’s full of low mountains and greenery everywhere.
I was at the '93 race where the one guy went over the wall in turn 1 and Niel Bonnet tore up the catch fence. I was also at the race where Rusty Wallace went over the finish line upside down. Dega is always wild.
'Dega is a track I have been to. A year or 2 ago LW Wright was located. Dale was the king of restrictor plate racing. He also said. "This is not racing." Interestingly to me, Dale flipped his car over in a restrictor plate race. He got in the ambulance while they were turning it over. WHen he saw the wheels were intact he asked if it would start. Then he left the ambilance to drive the rolled over car and finish the race. Looking forward to your reaction to the NASCAR race at Indy last weekend.
Dale Earnhardt was basically unstoppable at restrictor plate races but he also hated them. I would say that at least half of Dale Jr’s total cup wins are on plate tracks, proving that the Dales are/were airbenders.
Fun video! Great content. I think the kid that made it was a huge race fan, but needed to turn in a video project for his history class at the same time. LOL
Bro don’t worry about pausing so much, I never understand why people complain about react videos doing that, the point of the video is your reaction so say what you want and pause when you want. Love the vids.
SPARTAN!! Thank you for the kind words mate, I guess I still worry that people will get bored...forgetting it's a reaction channel 😂 I'm glad you're here and enjoying the videos thank you
I've been to Talladega! It's such a fun and unique experience! The racing is fantastic, and if you like partying/ people watching, it's a great place for you! Actually, the race I went to is the race shown at 40:30 in this video!
Yes Nascar Reactions are back I always like to watch NASCAR on my race weekend Talladega is the fastest Superspeedway in Alabama even I remember back in '93 of the Winston 500 when Earnhardt and Wallace racing for sixth place about 100 yards at the line, Ernie Irvan won the race Earnhardt tapped Wallace crosses the line finished 6th and flips violently eight times and land on four wheels Rusty Wallace survived the wreck and broked his left arm in the crash and the Miller Pontiac was totalled in the wreck and 30 years later, this wreck Wallace remember of the 1993 crash and Talladega has seen a lot of crashes in it's 55 years of NASCAR racing in the world How you doing Bro Matthew says hi to you 👋👋 👋👋

The channel NascarAllOut has some incredible compilations of the top 10 Nascar flips of every decade from the 2010s, all the way to the 1950s! I think those would make for some great reactions in the future!
I went to talladega this april, actually! I honestly didnt know that much about NASCAR at the time, so I'm not the best person to ask about it, but nonetheless it was pretty cool
39:32 this scenario nearly happened again in 2022 daytona coke zero 400 a wreck caused by rain took about everyone out and it ended with about 6 cars but really only 2 or 3 had a chance at winning
Couple more things. So to clear up some things about Dale Earnhardt and restrictor plate racing. He hated plate racing BUT was also the absolute best ever at it. And his son Dale Jr maybe the second best ever at it. Also, I thought I was the only other person in the world who loved No Country For Old Men all the way up until the ending. Fantastic movie, but I hate that ending so much lol.
Thank you for the information Josh, it is ALWAYS welcome! As for the movie, I have never had a film genuinely let me down so hard at the end and I've seen so SO many films with the twist that makes you feel like you've been duped, it was a horrible ending 😂
I was waiting for anyone to react to this video another good one is in 1992 we all thought Davey Allison was Indestructible by SlapShoes goes into detail about the living hell that was Davey Allison's 1992 season where he would lose the championship in the final race after so much stuff you wouldn't believe it
Yeah I’m from Alabama. I started going when I was 14. I’ve been to about 20 Talladega races lol if ever you can get down here on Dega weekend we’ll go 😂 you’ll love it
Glad to see you back, since you’ve been gone nascar has been pretty solid Kyle Busch has been abysmal ever weeks he seems to be wrecking or having one of the slowest cars not kidding btw he’s been that bad
my favorite music artist released his new song gravedigger today. you should react to gravedigger by livingston and mabye more songs by livingston, i recommend his songs shadow, last man standing, message in a bottle, superkid, and the ending you deserve
@@simonpoe2223 I'll see what I can do Simon, hopefully they'll get passed RUclips, I seem to have had about 50 music reactions just straight blocked that I've seen people react to so I'll do my best 💪🏻
Good afternoon bubba. I hope you're well! I've never been to Talladega but it is my favorite track. Closely followed by Daytona and Bristol. I have however driven a NASCAR at the brickyard Indianapolis motor speedway. I was able to make it to about 147 mph. This was paid for by the department that I worked for at the time as part of a driver training program I was going through. (Anyone can drive a NASCAR there and the company is called Richard Petty driving experience. The car was capable of much greater speed. I did not have the skill to go any faster at the time. The fastest I've ever been in a vehicle is 155 mph in a Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle. There are many vehicles in production that can outrun a patrol car on the top end. However units that are design for pursuit intervention have way better breaks suspension handling and other things that equal the playing field. The officers that are signed these vehicles are also highly qualified to drive them.
You're a lucky man Jason, hoping to try the Richard Petty experience one day myself! I've been 165 in a car before but I had the luck of Yessica's dad being the the director of a show called top gear 💪🏻 thank you for answering
@@ExploringTheSmoke I used to watch top gear all the time. Dale Earnhardt was the first one to master the draft and understand his car and the way the wind worked around him. Therefore he was able to capitalize on the restrictor plate racing and he taught his son and also Michael waltrip. In fact the day he died he was blocking for Junior and Michael who finished the 500 1st and 2nd
@@ExploringTheSmoke I remember that day very clearly. We watch the race. There was some concern but everything went on as normal. Several hours later after the race was over they broke into regular Network programming and announced that Dale had passed. He was a real life superhero if you were a race fan. It was unbelievable!
There is you tube video of talladega's museum. I recommend checking that out. Ricky craven's wrecked talledega car thats in this video is in there. I've been to the talladega museum 3 times and took the bus tour ride around the track twice. 33:55--well almost all good.....mark martin's 3 wall infield hit made his seat belt punch him in the 🥜's! Very hard.😳😲😧😖😫🤬!!! He was grabbing his crotch in serious pain. I bet it was the 3rd hit with the guardrail/fence that caused that. The video you saw didn't show that. Theres other you tube video that does. I was there for the 2003 race. Saw the m&ms car after the blow over. Micheal waltrip won that race. He was sooo happy after what happened to him at daytona 2001. I do recommend watching the entire 2002 aarons 312. It was CRAAAZY. Its on you tube. It was a race of who can fix there wrecked car before the next guy and get back on track. Some of those cars were start and park cars and those cars normally do a couple laps then park it for the race.( so they can $pocket$ last place money💵) But they fixed there dammage and ended up driving the whole race. dale jr had a winning streak going on for awhile at daytona/talledega. He'd get to the lead and stay there. And everyone would always follow him. Race after race. The joke became that if dale ever drove to the infield bathroom everyone would follow him. I was there at talledega(2005?) And saw them film the talledega nights scene where they run across the finish line. They did that hours b/4 the start of the cup race....see you live stream saturday.
I love the knowledge you consistently have cole!! Thank you for being here my man! You're a lucky sun of a gun getting to go to the track so regularly AND you got to see the movie about the track being made, that's pretty damn cool
Heh, yeah... I remember Mark Martin's crash, one of the announcers saw him bend over and said something like he must be thanking god, and another announcer who was a driver pointed out it's closer to "oh GOD", that his anti-sub belts did their job but that's a hell of a smack to the tender bits. For those that don't know, a 5, 6, or 7+ point harness has one or two belts that go from the cam lock down to the seat between the driver's legs to keep a semi-reclined driver from compressing the seat on a frontal impact and potentially slipping underneath the lap belts. They work, and they work well... but the driver's going to KNOW they worked. Still, most are going to take a hard nut shot and the sensation of broken kidneys versus a broken lumbar spine and (actual) internal abdominal injuries, so it's kind of a wash.
1:01:11 basically in 2020. This was found in Nascar driver Bubba Wallaces garage. Him being an African American driver during the BLM riots and Talladega being in the south. A lot of people believed it to be a noose/hate symbol towards him. Investigation went under way and it turned out to be a garage opener. And now Bubba is hated for it, why, for no reason it seems. Some fans are just awful.
Yeah someone else said about it and it made me have a bad taste in my mouth that bubba would have ever used it for media attention when he knew FULL well what they were
Dude, you absolutely can and should pause the video. It allows you to add commentary and makes it transformative. People should be here to see your opinion on the video. Not to see the original video itself. If people are coming here to see the original video without first watching it on EmpLemmons channel they need to understand they are literally taking away from his business and enjoying his work without giving him anything in return.
1:01:07 the only thing I don’t like about this video is he is super disingenuous here. There were investigations that determined it was a garage pull and was there the year prior as well. EmpLemon seems to cut that in there to make it seem like that’s not the case and just glosses over it. This is why a lot of people don’t like Bubba Wallace. Everyone was behind and supported him when it happened because everyone legitimately thought someone put a “rope” (YT friendly term) in Bubba’s garage stall. Bubba had no idea and was told by his crew and NASCAR what was found in his garage. Keep in mind this was during Covid when the only people at the track were exclusively crew and NASCAR personnel, so if it was something offensive it had to come from someone in the industry. The FBI even got involved and determined it was a garage pull and not an offensive gesture and that the pull was in the same exact stall the year before which was not occupied by Wallace and his crew. A reason people don’t like him is after the FBI concluded the investigation instead of saying “I’m so happy it turned out to be something totally innocent and I’m amazed to see the incredible show of support by the fans, teams and other drivers” Bubba instead chose to go on CNN and insist that “It was a straight up n***e” and attempted to further build false outrage which of course absolutely did nothing to help the situation whatsoever.
Yeah someone else said about it and it made me have a bad taste in my mouth that bubba would have ever used it for media attention when he knew FULL well what they were

@@eclipze9412 that's pretty epic!
This was cool, thanks! 😊
@@RowdyRuth thank you for watching Ruth!
3:48 I've been to Talladega twice, but the last time was in 2009 when Carl Edwards got sents into the catch fence on the last lap.
That must have been a wild scene to see!!
@ExploringTheSmoke it was crazy, I was about 500 feet behind the impact point towards turn 4, so I got a great view of the accident.

Nascar Reactions are back I always like to watch NASCAR on my race weekend
Talladega is the fastest Superspeedway in Alabama even I remember back in '93 of the Winston 500 when Earnhardt and Wallace racing for sixth place about 100 yards at the line, Ernie Irvan won the race Earnhardt tapped Wallace crosses the line finished 6th and flips violently eight times and land on four wheels Rusty Wallace survived the wreck and broked his left arm in the crash and the Miller Pontiac was totalled in the wreck and 30 years later, this wreck Wallace remember of the 1993 crash and Talladega has seen a lot of crashes in it's 55 years of NASCAR racing in the world
How you doing Bro

I am once again asking for more slapshoes reactions my man xD
@@Corvin152 😂😂😂 they are slowwwwly coming
Couple more things. So to clear up some things about Dale Earnhardt and restrictor plate racing. He hated plate racing BUT was also the absolute best ever at it. And his son Dale Jr maybe the second best ever at it. Also, I thought I was the only other person in the world who loved No Country For Old Men all the way up until the ending. Fantastic movie, but I hate that ending so much lol.
Thank you for the information Josh, it is ALWAYS welcome! As for the movie, I have never had a film genuinely let me down so hard at the end and I've seen so SO many films with the twist that makes you feel like you've been duped, it was a horrible ending 😂
I was waiting for anyone to react to this video another good one is in 1992 we all thought Davey Allison was Indestructible by SlapShoes goes into detail about the living hell that was Davey Allison's 1992 season where he would lose the championship in the final race after so much stuff you wouldn't believe it

Good afternoon bubba. I hope you're well! I've never been to Talladega but it is my favorite track. Closely followed by Daytona and Bristol. I have however driven a NASCAR at the brickyard Indianapolis motor speedway. I was able to make it to about 147 mph. This was paid for by the department that I worked for at the time as part of a driver training program I was going through. (Anyone can drive a NASCAR there and the company is called Richard Petty driving experience. The car was capable of much greater speed. I did not have the skill to go any faster at the time. The fastest I've ever been in a vehicle is 155 mph in a Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle. There are many vehicles in production that can outrun a patrol car on the top end. However units that are design for pursuit intervention have way better breaks suspension handling and other things that equal the playing field. The officers that are signed these vehicles are also highly qualified to drive them.
You're a lucky man Jason, hoping to try the Richard Petty experience one day myself! I've been 165 in a car before but I had the luck of Yessica's dad being the the director of a show called top gear 💪🏻 thank you for answering
@@ExploringTheSmoke I used to watch top gear all the time. Dale Earnhardt was the first one to master the draft and understand his car and the way the wind worked around him. Therefore he was able to capitalize on the restrictor plate racing and he taught his son and also Michael waltrip. In fact the day he died he was blocking for Junior and Michael who finished the 500 1st and 2nd
@@jasonwhoever5528 I learned of dales passing in another video and man, what a day that was
@@ExploringTheSmoke I remember that day very clearly. We watch the race. There was some concern but everything went on as normal. Several hours later after the race was over they broke into regular Network programming and announced that Dale had passed. He was a real life superhero if you were a race fan. It was unbelievable!
@@jasonwhoever5528 a dark day in racing
31:23 Nope, that's not the one, don't worry.
@@ExTiNkT91 looked like a tbone to the wall, thank you though my friend appreciate you
There is you tube video of talladega's museum. I recommend checking that out. Ricky craven's wrecked talledega car thats in this video is in there. I've been to the talladega museum 3 times and took the bus tour ride around the track twice.
33:55--well almost all good.....mark martin's 3 wall infield hit made his seat belt punch him in the
🥜's! Very hard.😳😲😧😖😫🤬!!! He was grabbing his crotch in serious pain. I bet it was the 3rd hit with the guardrail/fence that caused that. The video you saw didn't show that. Theres other you tube video that does. I was there for the 2003 race. Saw the m&ms car after the blow over. Micheal waltrip won that race. He was sooo happy after what happened to him at daytona 2001. I do recommend watching the entire 2002 aarons 312. It was CRAAAZY. Its on you tube. It was a race of who can fix there wrecked car before the next guy and get back on track. Some of those cars were start and park cars and those cars normally do a couple laps then park it for the race.( so they can $pocket$ last place money💵) But they fixed there dammage and ended up driving the whole race.
dale jr had a winning streak going on for awhile at daytona/talledega. He'd get to the lead and stay there. And everyone would always follow him. Race after race. The joke became that if dale ever drove to the infield bathroom everyone would follow him.
I was there at talledega(2005?) And saw them film the talledega nights scene where they run across the finish line. They did that hours b/4 the start of the cup race....see you live stream saturday.
I love the knowledge you consistently have cole!! Thank you for being here my man! You're a lucky sun of a gun getting to go to the track so regularly AND you got to see the movie about the track being made, that's pretty damn cool
Heh, yeah... I remember Mark Martin's crash, one of the announcers saw him bend over and said something like he must be thanking god, and another announcer who was a driver pointed out it's closer to "oh GOD", that his anti-sub belts did their job but that's a hell of a smack to the tender bits.
For those that don't know, a 5, 6, or 7+ point harness has one or two belts that go from the cam lock down to the seat between the driver's legs to keep a semi-reclined driver from compressing the seat on a frontal impact and potentially slipping underneath the lap belts. They work, and they work well... but the driver's going to KNOW they worked. Still, most are going to take a hard nut shot and the sensation of broken kidneys versus a broken lumbar spine and (actual) internal abdominal injuries, so it's kind of a wash.
@@mfree80286 thank you for the knowledge
1:01:11 basically in 2020. This was found in Nascar driver Bubba Wallaces garage. Him being an African American driver during the BLM riots and Talladega being in the south. A lot of people believed it to be a noose/hate symbol towards him. Investigation went under way and it turned out to be a garage opener. And now Bubba is hated for it, why, for no reason it seems. Some fans are just awful.
Yeah someone else said about it and it made me have a bad taste in my mouth that bubba would have ever used it for media attention when he knew FULL well what they were
Dude, you absolutely can and should pause the video. It allows you to add commentary and makes it transformative. People should be here to see your opinion on the video. Not to see the original video itself. If people are coming here to see the original video without first watching it on EmpLemmons channel they need to understand they are literally taking away from his business and enjoying his work without giving him anything in return.

1:01:07 the only thing I don’t like about this video is he is super disingenuous here. There were investigations that determined it was a garage pull and was there the year prior as well. EmpLemon seems to cut that in there to make it seem like that’s not the case and just glosses over it. This is why a lot of people don’t like Bubba Wallace. Everyone was behind and supported him when it happened because everyone legitimately thought someone put a “rope” (YT friendly term) in Bubba’s garage stall. Bubba had no idea and was told by his crew and NASCAR what was found in his garage. Keep in mind this was during Covid when the only people at the track were exclusively crew and NASCAR personnel, so if it was something offensive it had to come from someone in the industry. The FBI even got involved and determined it was a garage pull and not an offensive gesture and that the pull was in the same exact stall the year before which was not occupied by Wallace and his crew. A reason people don’t like him is after the FBI concluded the investigation instead of saying “I’m so happy it turned out to be something totally innocent and I’m amazed to see the incredible show of support by the fans, teams and other drivers” Bubba instead chose to go on CNN and insist that “It was a straight up n***e” and attempted to further build false outrage which of course absolutely did nothing to help the situation whatsoever.
Yeah someone else said about it and it made me have a bad taste in my mouth that bubba would have ever used it for media attention when he knew FULL well what they were
