Adrenaline is THE best drug. Crazy how the body can make you forget the pain and somewhat the fear you get afterwards when adrenaline drops again... I crashed a gokart once at the end of the straight at 95 km/h. Locked the rear brakes and it jerked to the left and got grip again and accelerated into the wall at 75, (no seatbelt remember) slammed my helmet into the stearing wheel and proceeded to drive around a couple of laps until I went back to the pits when the adrenaline from driving and crashing went down... Luckily it wasn't a head on crash as I still had some sideways momentum but was still a hard hit...
I once saw a driver who was way in the lead hit the pit wall and stop in the middle of the circuit. The pack came charging up behind and he managed to get out and get over the wall and was standing up against the garages in the pit lane. Doctor was there when suddenly he screamed and fell down. Apparently the adrenaline kicked in for him to get out of the car to safety yet when it ebbed away he had pain in his leg and found he had broken his femur
Except the roll hoop pierced the wall (and was torn off). His helmet had impact marks on it and his collar bone was broken by his shoulder bouncing off the asphalt.
and he got really lucky even in the beginning because one can see that Daly's broken wheel got super close to his head (even hit it but luckily not that hard)
Excellent work holding the camera so steady. Thank you for sharing this. Really good to see both drivers are okay. The announcers mentioned that both drivers were best friends. Imagine the conversations they will have about that in the future. Reminiscing
Crazy A force pushes you away from track and a hard surface ... A bloody concrete wall pushes you into on coming traffic. Its primitive racing for its time
They should not let him leave the car like that without assistance. They should keep him still, stabilize his neck and wait for an ambulance. I am not a doctor but it is what I see in many other serious crashes in motorsports
Nice that the driver in the interview put his hands up and said it was his fault and apologised for the incident. You wouldn't see a formula 1 driver do that they just blame each other.
I was there too. I came in from Washington DC for the race and was so bummed out after Saturday night (I knew that the track could not dry just from looking at the weepers coming out of turn 4) I resigned myself that I was going to miss the race having a late morning fligh back home. Then at the airport with the boarding pass on me and waiting for the flight to board...again, really bummed out...I looked at the weather slightly improving and made the panicked decision at about 11:15 am to book the latest (and expensive) flight out of Dallas/Fort Worth on my phone app and run out of the terminal and flag down a taxi to take me to the speedway...I don't regret that for a second, believe me...and I'll be back on August 27th. ANYWAY...thanks for enduring my airport story.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again: That Dallara chassis is one hell of a lifesaver! Shame it wasn't there for Dan Wheldon - and tragically ironic that he test-drove it prior to his fatal crash at Vegas (in the previous generation car).
I think yes, but looking at Dans crash, that shit looked like even the Dallara chassis wouldn't be able to help. He fucking flew sideways towards the wall.😭
@@jeffreyvences5746 Actually... I'm not so sure. Although his career was ended as a result, Dario Franchitti survived an eerily similar crash on a STREET circuit (ie. No SAFER barrier, no predefined grooves, tighter lines, etc) that was powerful enough to throw some of the catch fencing dozens of feet into the air (1:01 of this video: ruclips.net/video/j37p0e6daF0/видео.html). Despite his serious injuries, he's here today because of the Dallara DW12. He speaks about it in this video: ruclips.net/video/j37p0e6daF0/видео.html Do I think Dan Wheldon would have been seriously hurt? Absolutely! Do I think he would have died? That... I'm not so sure.
Still hard to watch though, I don’t get why crashes are entering its nice I guess but it’s not entertaining if someone gets killed or is seriously hurt
I used to be a track marshal, and I've seen it before... The driver will keep insisting he's perfectly fine right up to the point he passes out, which is why there were 2-3 guys standing around Josef with a hand actually on him. AS one of my instructors said, "Them fancy epaulette things ain't there for decoration. Them's *handles*."
Walter's Heart, that’s pretty much how it works. Right after you stop moving you are absolutely running on adrenaline. Like the other guy said, when you start to slow down, that’s when everything really starts to hurt.
i was there saturday but never got started. if i was there sunday the crash would have litterly happened in front of me. my seats were right where the first impact was.
Road America race was great. As for the cock pits, I heard F1 is going to have some type of halo over the cockpits next season. Look for Indy cars to do the same soon.
No, isolate the cockpit from the rest of the car and surround it with fireproof materials. Also have an emergency eject on the canopy to allow for quick escapes.
I was in the tunnel under the track when Francois crashed...I remember it sounded like the tearing of cardboard really loud,...I headed back towards the track out of the tunnel and Emmo was out of his car (gorgeous black and gold JPS car) and it seemed he was angry...I looked over at the guardrail and could see it was split open...but I thought that's not enough room for a F1 car to go through....I knew by now Francois had been involved in a terrible crash. I walked over and they had sheets hung around the remains of the car and Francois....people were picking up parts...a mirror...it made me sick because I knew this was bad. A doctor or whatever walked out and puked...shaking his head....I knew that Cevert had gone through that split in the guardrail like a space 2-3 ft....he was gone....really put s damper on the Grand Prix race. I walked back towards Emmo and he wanted no part of it....slammed his helmet into the cockpit and sped off...anger was all I could see...I wasn't about to try and talk to him...terrible day.....for Elf, for Watkins Glen....for Jackie Stewart....
It wasn’t just the hitting the wall head first, when they first hit Newgraden got hit by Daily’s right front and then he got hit by his own right front wheel.
The Holmatro team was the best. I just dont see the same with the AMR crews. There doesn't seem to be the same number of personnel or the same level of extrication experience. Maybe its just me
Isn't there supposed to be an ambo on the scene before the driver is even out of the car? I remember that from ... like, the 1970s, when I was a little kid. Connor Daly should *not* have been allowed to stand next to his car and lose consciousness like that.
Did they not see that being upside down wasnt the problem is was that the tire hit him in the head and then his head hit the barrier. Definitely need a Halo.
Nah, the NHRA Safety Safari is the best safety crew out there. They would have been rolling up as the cars came to a stop. There, ready, when they stopped.
It was filled the first day but it got postponed for 5 hours cause of rain and they moved it to the next day and then after that crash it rained. So they moved the race to August which was 2 months away. So basically give or take 250 people was there.
EMS Can't roll until the scene is considered safe or secured. And then, they need to be told that they're safe to roll. Believe me, it's a seriously shitty experience to know that you could be helping, but due to the scene not being considered safe, you have to sit back and hope no one dies before you're allowed in.
That’s amazing that both drivers were able to walk away from this. What a horrific accident.
Its scary to see when adrenaline drops how its the only thing keeping you up and you just flop, glad hes ok.
I was injured so big once that my adrenaline lasted to the next day. Then it was pain city!!!

4:09 the driver's head hits the top corner of the barrier. Good helmet.
It is amazing that Joseph even survived!
So incredible he was able to survive this accident! You can literally watch his head just get slammed against the side of that wall. So scary to see.
Grow a brain pal. His head never impacted the wall. The brace on top of the cars is designed so that if they roll over their heads have room.
Except the roll hoop pierced the wall (and was torn off). His helmet had impact marks on it and his collar bone was broken by his shoulder bouncing off the asphalt.
NathanM4A1 rekt

The emergency truck has bull horns on top. Welcome to Texas.
Crazy
A force pushes you away from track and a hard surface ... A bloody concrete wall pushes you into on coming traffic. Its primitive racing for its time
Moose004 I wouldn’t want to be picked up by one of them after a wreck like that! That’s for sure.
@@kennethkilleen8758 "primitive" huh? Wow you are truly biased... i wonder what you watch???? Hmmmmmm lemme take a wild guess
The funny part about that is that safety truck isn't one the TMS safety truck. That is an indy truck
I watched this live I was so scared for Josef especially when he collapsed outside the car onto the pavement he’s lucky to live through that
The safety measures in racing now is incredible, such a violent accident.
Wow. Hats off to the safety crew
They should not let him leave the car like that without assistance. They should keep him still, stabilize his neck and wait for an ambulance. I am not a doctor but it is what I see in many other serious crashes in motorsports
That was scary! Thanks for uploading.
The incredible safety improvements that put into these cars.Horrible crash.
If he survived this, he is immortal
The designers of these tubs, good Frikin job.
"My bad". Justified or not, that's a good reaction.
This still gives me chills 😔
What a wreck! How insane that he survived that! I've been thinking of printing an F1 car on my channel lately...
He completely cheated death
Yes I
Nah not really
@@jracer7189 you understood what he said?
Yeas but romain grosjean its better🤣
oh my gosh, this scared me so bad, Josef is my favorite driver and i hate to see him get hurt like that. 💔
That could've been fatal
No shit?
Musicrecords10 no shit
No shit
No shit
Shit.
this crash makes me shake it always gives me chills.....literally................alot of thankful hearts after this........
Nice that the driver in the interview put his hands up and said it was his fault and apologised for the incident. You wouldn't see a formula 1 driver do that they just blame each other.
I like Indycar but f1 is better
Everyone except for Sainz for sure
@@ReprogrammedToHate Also Vettel.
Jared Weston no
@@nunodasfonsecas And Leclerc
救急車に乗る前に手を上げてアピールをする姿は涙が出そうになります。
He was waving
Love the Christmas tree lights on screen.
And that’s why the halo, as used in F1, should seriously be implemented in every formula or indi series
Halo's can't be used on banking. A better solution is the aeroscreen
I agree. Sure they could used on banking. They are good at keeping tires off of a pilots helmet.
@@lindahaugh4711 just watch alonso's and Grosjean's crash
looking at the angle of impact at around 8:00 it appears like it was the roll bar that pierced the safer barrier
Oh man that was bad. I'm sooo happy that Josef is racing at Road America. I was at this race.
I was there too. I came in from Washington DC for the race and was so bummed out after Saturday night (I knew that the track could not dry just from looking at the weepers coming out of turn 4) I resigned myself that I was going to miss the race having a late morning fligh back home.

+pajasa62 I'll be there too. Hope Castroneves wins.
What a cool American fire engines 😍

@@TheEDFLegacy I get what you're saying but comparing street circuit speeds to a heavily banked oval like Vegas, should be a substantial difference.
That's one thing as an f1 car thats more thrilling in indy car... You have some INSANE and high speed crashes 😂
Still hard to watch though, I don’t get why crashes are entering its nice I guess but it’s not entertaining if someone gets killed or is seriously hurt
Isn't to laugh
Guys I'm fine just help out of the car. I'm not, nope, nope, I'm not.
Pretty much exactly what happened. All of sudden it hit him what just happened.

Aka “doing a blundell”
The adrenaline is thick during a race and then even more during a big crash. When it starts to wear off, you start to feel everything!
Walter's Heart, that’s pretty much how it works. Right after you stop moving you are absolutely running on adrenaline. Like the other guy said, when you start to slow down, that’s when everything really starts to hurt.

Road America race was great. As for the cock pits, I heard F1 is going to have some type of halo over the cockpits next season. Look for Indy cars to do the same soon.
Race Fan The halo is extremely dangerous when it comes to fire/fire when upside down. Keep them the same, without a halo. Wrecks happen.
IndyCar should have a full canopy like a fighter jet. That way nothing like what happened to Daly or Justin Wilson can happen again.
So they could die in a fire? Genius
No, isolate the cockpit from the rest of the car and surround it with fireproof materials. Also have an emergency eject on the canopy to allow for quick escapes.

Thank God they were able to survive this horrible crash.
Indy vs modern F1... indy rulezzz ! I love this races
The 50 people in the stands saw a miracle.
with all the debris im glad none of the drivers or people in the stands got hit with it
Not like the stands are full anyway
He's like your gonna have to carry me
Crew arrives just 15 seconds after his car stopped. Amazing response time!
That’s got to be the best ending to the potentially the worst case scenario
R.I.P. little angel
That's a tough hit.
I was there right at the exit of turn 4 in the infield
We used to sit in turn 3 in the infield for many, many years at the Milwaukee Mile. Saw many wrecks. But none nearly as serious as this one.
Thankfully they had safer equipment in place.. hate to see the after math of this let's say a decade ago.
I was there!!!
Só por Deus
Ambulance arrived after 5 minutes,it's incredible this delay.
Sick tow truck drift @ 1:05
Yes
It wasn’t just the hitting the wall head first, when they first hit Newgraden got hit by Daily’s right front and then he got hit by his own right front wheel.
FRANK Then that's three moments that could've killed him easily.
I can't believe the safety crew did what they did.
Y la Abulancia bienn
Gracias
!!!!!!
Car went dead right, broken half shaft? Steering?
Omg..... That was some final destination shit.
The Holmatro team was the best. I just dont see the same with the AMR crews. There doesn't seem to be the same number of personnel or the same level of extrication experience. Maybe its just me
Bill Buehner It’s the same team, just different sponsor
Scarry crash. Damn that was so close
They were friends, that is.
Holmatro is the best in the business
Wow guys from Amazing race😭🤯
Are you just straight up recording a TV?
The Homaltro (Now AMR) Safety Team are the best in the business.
You record tv!
The first thing i would do i fucking cry and kiss the ground and the barrier cuz that saved him
Props to that flagman at 4:25 for being so quick on the draw with that yellow.
God is there from the botom of my heart and of course the protection of the car very Ugly acicdent all thy best for you from Carlos Portugal
One thing that I find really good is the speed and professional of the safety teams
what reaction?
guess the old racing myth is true that green cars are bad luck
I’m surprised there isn’t a halo on the cars
Its not everyday u gotta see bulls horn on top of the rescue vehicles instead of the flashing strob lights..
Best safety team in business? Seriously, took an eternity to bring out the stretcher out
Guess they saving fuel on the ambulance..why is it not on screen
Its funny how every F1 fan hated the Halo but now all of a sudden they love it judging from the comment section
Especially with crashes that the halo is useless in.
It’s always the innocent driver that cops all the damage and the culprit walks away. Grrrrrrr
And did you not see how the culprit takes full responsibility after the crash in this case?
USMCLP and could you not see I was talking generally, corse you couldn’t.
Stephen Howlett Yeah okay.
Here after Grosjean's lucky escape
Holy shit in the thumbnail it looked like a bike on first sight bc its so damaged
Wow
I think car closer to the outside lost traction or something and that caused this whole accident Glad that the drivers are ok tho
Took almost 5 minutes for the ambulance to get out there. Trucks there right away but ambulance took a long time
Ambulance is for transport only really there's medics on the trucks so that doesn't really matter too much.
助かって良かった
Looks like they were getting an early start on social distancing. The crowd must have consisted of nothing more than a couple hundred people.
A the crowd goes mild.
"HALO"
Aeroscreen
Isn't there supposed to be an ambo on the scene before the driver is even out of the car? I remember that from ... like, the 1970s, when I was a little kid. Connor Daly should *not* have been allowed to stand next to his car and lose consciousness like that.
Poor guy probably became three inches shorter after that crash

Nah, the NHRA Safety Safari is the best safety crew out there. They would have been rolling up as the cars came to a stop. There, ready, when they stopped.
Maybe next year they can give away tickets or pay people to come to see this race.There's nobody there.

If that car lifted towards the catch fench his head was coming off
I thought he was dead when I first saw this.
Dmanracing 07 many people probably did think the same thing
Que atendimento e esse.x
Colocarem os caras de pé.se tiverem fraturado a coluna.falta de conhecimento.podem encerrar uma carreira aí.
Thanks to the halo no one got seriously hurt. 😁
But, there was no halo.... There never was, this is Indycar, not F1....
oh wait, was this a joke?
profesional
1:56 'moving his pecker round'.........he's good
GTiR23 he said moving his neck around..
Brutal Crash!!!!!!!
What a hit!!! Good to know that they are ok!!
Years too late
Shaken, but not stirred...
Did anyone notice that it took a week for the ambulance to show up.😬

tried a Gordon Smiley, but Newgarden was in the way
That's fucked up buddy
Damn
This is why they added the halo in f1
They added the halo in F1 because Jules Bianchi tried driving underneath a tractor in Japan.
the halo was meant to protect you from flyiing debris
RIP
