11,000 views. Can't believe how many people have watched this video. I do occasionally because I can't believe he survived it. As Barry's daughter, this day I won't ever forget. I was on pit road, wearing a headset when the crash happened. Three years later my dad is still keeping his dream alive. Find his athlete page on Facebook. Just search Barry Fitzgerald. Thanks for all the support.
What a ride he took. Is it just me, or was that kinda like Matt Kenseth's flip at Talladega last spring in the Nationwide race, rolling over like that?
this flip is the reason why Daytona removed more grass during repraving. U will noticed the differences next week. The grass now starts at bus stop turn.
Barry's thoughts: 0:45 Darn it, I spun! Gotta hold onto it... 0:48 OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP 0:57 Is it over? I think it's over... 0:58 Crap, no, it's not over. :/
When I first saw this I thought Rick Allen said Larry Fitzgerald. I was all like "What? The Wide Receiver for the Cardinals? How many bad drivers are in this race?" Then it said Berry and I knew I was wrong. lol. This was a bad accident though.
I hate when people say they should make the cars stay on the ground. It's a racing accident. Flipping is a whole lot better than what happened to Elliott Sadler at Pocono
@joe24chevy bigger and heavier cars flip more easily because they are top-heavy...just look at all the wrecks that happened last year-logano, martin, newman, edwards, and others
This wreck had nothing to do with aerodynamics. The car is setup for left hand turns. Very aggressive camber on the left side, low left side tire pressure and cross weight being more to the left cause these cars to turnover.

I was there and that was almost a twin to how Kenseth flipped over.

Looks just like Kenseth's flip last year.
@rockypc24 not bad she did really good for her first race
Mike...what were you thinking?

Almost identical to Kenseth's accident at Talladega last year.
0:01 joey coulter hes my sponsor for my race car and i'm apart of his driver development
saying that though. Look at Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards last year at Talladega

Those damn left turns!
how bout danca 6th place
PROBLEMS!
hopefully they'll pave that grass when they repave the track...that's the only good that can come from the repaving
i knowally owens should have won
arca drivers need to learn how to drive. Two flips in one race.
