I’ll never forget the look on Ken Schrader face either. His eyes got so big, you could see them through his full faced tinted helmet.
His visor was up initially
When they interviewed him outside the care city you could see it in his face. His eyes said what he wouldn't and didn't want to say.
No you couldn’t you could only see him waving his hand
@@deebailey767 I knew as soon as I saw Schrader's interview on TV that Dale was dead. The man was severely shook up.
Same. That's when I realized it was really bad. There wasn't much talking after that when we were watching the race coverage. My brother and I were worried and in shock because at the time to us Dale was invincible. I kept thinking he's gotta be alright. Unfortunately I was very wrong.
Thats some mad disrespect right there just placing an ad at the end
Its an inappropriate place for any add...
That ad being placed there was
disrespectful....period
Including for an American Nascar Legend like Mr. Dale Earnhardt
It's RUclips, free videos. Ads are part of it, grow a pair
TheSpawnacus The ad isn't from RUclips. And it's clear that ad was placed there on purpose. Grow some respect and knowledge. A great man last his life. It's not the time for ads.
@@TheSpawnacus you are an idiot
Schrader saw Just death in that car. He will never forget what he saw in that car and has the right not to want to talk about what he saw. He will remember what he saw in that car for the rest of his life.
@The RightStuff Dale was bleeding out profusely from his nose, mouth, and ears. A common feature of a basilar skull fracture is massive hemorrhaging in the brain and it has to go somewhere. Don't believe me look up pictures of the interior of the car, it's a bloody mess in there. The seat was soaked in it. The steering wheel was bent inwards and one of the spokes was broken too from his head and chest hitting it.
I feel so bad for Kenny. He knew right away when he looked in the car that he lost his friend.
NASCAR and nascar fans alike lost their friend my man
@@erinflaherty4878 I get it but shut the hell up you didn’t know him personally. Yeah I’m sure it hurts for you to but don’t even compare your loss to someone who knew the guy my god
@@mercury0214 didn’t compare, added on but get your panties in a twist ig
Only many years later did he acknowledge he knew he’d been killed right away
@@minnesotajack1 where did you hear this because recent videos of Schrader I see he says he knew it was bad but didn't know he was killed yet.
Kenny Schrader’s helmet wasn’t off when he looked in the car.
Funny how Darrel Waltrip seems to be the only one who realized that wreck was bad. Listen to his commentary, soon as he saw the replay he was deeply concerned for Dale. Those sudden head on stops in the wall like that may not look dramatic, but they are extremely dangerous hits. Even other experienced drivers didn't think it was a big deal at first. Apparently DW knew something about wrecks.
I never understood how people could say the wreck didn't look bad enough to kill someone at the time. It was obviously a very serious wreck. You could see the roof warp as well as portions of the car opposite from any impact. The wheel came off which, while not unheard of, was fairly rare by 2001 for a "simple" wall impact unless it was a big hit. Plus we had just lost two drivers in 2000 from similar wrecks with similar angles-of-contact at much slower speeds, as well as Neil Bonnet's death in '94 which was very similar. Tony Roper is another example of a similar impact angle that resulted in death. I dunno, I was extremely worried from the second it happened. Had been watching NASCAR for 13 years by that point and I just never understood how any observant fan could find the wreck not immediately concerning.
Whenever you see g-force damage and roll cage shift on the complete opposite side of the car, and/or you see the roof warp even a tiny bit..... that's always a sign that the driver took the brunt of the impact.
And don't ever get complacent. We WILL have another fatality in NASCAR's big leagues, it's just a fact of motorsports. Only a matter of time. So I'd also like to see all the nosepickers stop wishing for drivers they don't like to crash.
I respected Darrell more than ever after this.
Ofc he new something about wrecks! He used to drive in the cup series
@@captainnebulous2918 thankfully there has been 0 fatalities in the gen 6 cars. Idk what would be the results if it was a gen 6 car instead of a gen 4 car.
he seen Kenny waving frantically before the live feed showed em
I'm at a loss for words, concerning watching the story, only to be interrupted by a stinkin' commercial that cuts right into the storyline! That made me mad! Whoever did this:A giant thumbs down to you!!!!!
Ronald Shank hejr3r7536eu
This is the world we live in now .. commercials and fucking advertising..
@@rhythmisadancer8394 you got that right..
I will never forget that day. Nascar was never the same after that losing Dale Sr. I followed Dale Jr. after that, and I watch his show because he talks about life with Dale Sr growing up.
This video is sadder than losing Earnhardt.
Wtf men?
The moment I knew Sr. was gone...when camera shows ambulance leaving track...it's cruising, not hauling @$$...just cruising...I knew he was gone.💔😥
Dale cutting off the 40 car was the last time he'd wreck or block somebody
Dale had a habit of loosening his belts right at the end of a race. It was a mistake that cost him.
He didn't have time to loosen the belts this time when rusty came up behind him it took the air off dale's spoiler and it cause the car to wiggle and that was it he was dead as soon as he connected with the wall it's not how hard you hit it the way and where you hit there was no bounce back when he hit the wall it stuck and dale kept going forward breaking the seat belt his face hit the steering wheel it tore him up pretty bad
No one is to blame.
Darrell IMMEDIATELY knew it was bad. You can see him keep looking to his left in the booth to the turn 4 area, knowing he is hurt.
We thought it wasn’t that bad of a hit. Darryl Waltrip knew it was bad and told us so. He having been a driver knew the impact force Dale just took. “I hope Dale’s ok” he said more than once.
It was the way Darryl LOOKED as much as what he SAID that let me know immediately that he was fearing the worst. His eyes were already red like he KNEW what had happened.
i remember seeing this as a kid and now im an engineer and know physics...... that crash..... was as bad as it could be nearly.... why he turned sideways almost all the momentum and components of motion transitioned towards the wall..... and then came to a stop instantly... essentially the physics is (Impulse = Force average x change in time) when something happens in a very small period of time...... the force is extremely high..... think of catching an egg. if you catch it with a flat hand and not motion it will splat. but if you move your hand with the egg, you can catch it safely.
Exactly. It still bewilders me at how some say it wasn't a bad wreck . There are drivers which have been almost fataly and/or severely injured at much less speeds but still hard impacts with a wall. Jerry Nadue is 1 example.
There's 1 major factor that you left out in the equation...Dale's seat belt had ripped on left side.
How do I know this?...I was one of the safety crew that extricated him! I even was asked to sit down with the lawyer's to explain why the EMT thought that the 4 point harness was in tact. When I told them that he had pulled the belts from Dale's right to left, he didn't pull the left side of the harness system.
Once I gave them my theory, I saw a light bulb 💡 above their heads.
1 of them pulled out a picture of the torn belt.
Looking at the impact from the pit cam in turn four, you see the full force of that impact . straight head first into the wall.
DW knew it was not a good way to hit the wall. I think he was the only one that immediately knew it wasnt good
Was at the race with my dad. There where people in are section happy to see Earnhardt crash. My dad was devastated when we found out he had passed on the ride home
Kenny knew he had passed.
Sure did he just refused to say it. He knew he was dead as soon as he took down the net.
5th yikes Dale Earnhardt did not walk away from the car. He essentially died on the scene from blunt force trauma to the head and neck. The one accident he did walk away from was in 1997, NOT the one which killed him in 2001.
5th yikes Yes. If you’re viewing any videos of Earnhardt, Sr. walking from his car in 2001, after the crash, yes. Earnhardt, Sr. had to be extricated from the car and also sustained a fatal basilar skull fracture after impact with the wall. He did NOT walk away from the crash in 2001.
“Earnhardt died instantly of head injuries, said Steve Bohannon, a doctor at Halifax Medical Center.”
@5th yikes yeah so I watched the video you're talking about and it was blatantly obvious the uploader spliced footage from the 96 Talladega crash into the footage of the actual crash. It's 2020, you can fake anything and make it look real.
5th yikes he was dead within seconds of impact, that’s why his friend responded the way he did and still hasn’t spoken on it
He died on impact. There was no chance of survival.
There are times when you can tell at first glance someone is obviously very dead and cannot be helped. This sounds like one of those times.
This is a insult to Dale Earnhardt Sr, you need to make a public apology for your insensitive actions in this documentary, you couldn’t even get the half the stuff right and should be ashamed of yourselves
I was literally speechless at how terrible this show was. It was almost comical at how bad it was presented.
The facts were so unbelievably far off. Even the guest they had was clearly an actor because he said was right or made sense. I'm stunned at how bad it was
Jebediah Gentry this little bit was all I saw and it was just awful I’m glad I didn’t waist an hour of my life watching this
@@EarnhardtFanproductions trust me you would be so angry you would lose sleep. One of the first awful facts is they say that he was driving a 1989 Monte Carlo in the 2001 Daytona 500. I'm not joking, they actually say that. And that kind of strupidity is throughout the entire episode
It's pretty hard to see someone's eyes recoil with a helmet on
I watch that over and over every year and think about him, dad always says, “racing died when he did”
that is completely true.
@Anonymous Guy partly true here is where your wrong would you have a season where you have to fight every race or a season where you win 1 race and your in the chase not to mention the competition was better back then
Dale was so awesome. I miss him every day. But to say "Racing Died" when Dale died..... that's way overboard. There's dozens of great racing series worldwide, stock car racing and oval racing is not the only good racing, and NASCAR is still pretty good, although it has a few gimmicks I'm sure we'd all like to see go.
Crap with ad. Thumbs down.
Today marks 20 years since we lost Dale Earnhardt. He was the greatest driver. We miss you, Dale!
April 29, 1951 - February 18, 2001
49 years-old
I miss him a great deal as well. Although I am getting increasingly annoyed about NASCAR still obsessing about him every other week it seems like. I mean, yeah he was the greatest but I'm sure he's rolling in his grave that his death is still essentially being used as shameless advertisement and pandering to people who can't move past the "good ole days" when he'd very likely want the sport to focus on the newer drivers and how awesome they are instead of talking about him all the time. Just wish NASCAR was as modest as he was.

Curtis Allred...Amen from the Oppermans from Tx
This is seared into my memory for all the rest the days - when 1951 - 2001 was shown below a pic of him during the halftime report of the subsequent NBA All-Star Game, my jaw wasn’t on the floor, it was THROUGH the floor .. “He friggin’ died from THAT wreck????”, I remember thinking to myself over and over .. 😢
I have never seen such a poorly written, un-researched show. It was terrible in the worse way. You guys need to fire whoever was in charge of this episode. Almost all the facts were so insanely wrong that it was almost comical. Even the guests that you had must have been actors because nothing they said really made sense and they clearly had no idea what they were talking about. You guys were hoping the audience would be people who didn't know anything about NASCAR. You seriously need to publicly apologize. I'm stunned at the stupidity of what I watched
Man I couldn't have said that better myself you are totally right
Edward Baker
Not actors. The people in this being interviewed have been in the industry for years
@@jakem749 bull shit
@@jakem749 also what's this crap they could see Kenny face that's bull shit and you know it if you know anything about that day or NASCAR
Edward Baker
Ok I didn’t say anything about Kenny’s face. I’m saying specifically the gentleman being interviewed have been in the industry for years. You shouldn’t question anybody’s knowledge on something you obviously aren’t well rehearsed in yourself. Take care
As a NASCAR fan, I just watched the full episode and... hoo boy there's a lot of problems:
Out of all the racing footage used in this video, ZERO PERCENT came from the 2001 Daytona 500.
What's worse is that some of the footage is actually from Talladega Nights. It's sometimes used as filler leading up to the events of Earnhardt's crash.
Not even the actual commentary is used; they just recreate it with voiceovers.
The actors don't even come close to looking like the real drivers they're portraying. They should've been used for just the on board-styled footage.
Michael Waltrip's firesuit is really a Chase Elliott jacket. Just about every one of them the actors are wearing is laughable.
Ken Schrader's car replica is just a Pinty's Series car with part of his front wrap on.
Dale Earnhardt's car has Nextel Cup contingency decals.
The CGI. DEAR GOD, THE CGI. This is quite possibly the worst part of the whole video. It looks like it was done on iRacing, Gen 6 cars are being used, the animation is rough throughout, Tony Stewart's wreck is not realistic in the slightest, most of the paint schemes and number fonts are totally wrong (Dale Earnhardt's 3 is just a Dale Jr. 8 decal sliced in half), and the wheels from Earnhardt's car come to a complete stop as he wrecks. Again, why not use footage from the actual race and not this and just pictures of the crash?
They make all these accusations before getting to the point of the real cause of his death.
The people being interviewed aren't even at a track that hosts Cup Series races.
I don't have any more words to describe how awful this documentary is. Reelz barely looked like they did any serious research about NASCAR in general and airing this is a complete slap in the face to all of its fans. The number of inaccuracies that were made throughout would make Dale Earnhardt roll over in his grave. Very dissatisfied. Would not recommend.
Imo, they should've used the real footage
Agreed, I remember watching this on TV being very intrigued and finishing it extremely disappointed in it. Don't really recommend watching it.
If that seatbelt wouldn't have broken and he had the proper neck restraints he possibly could have survived
Wait, watch an ad before the video, and have to watch an ad in the video? What crap !!!
Dale was my favorite driver in 2001 rip Dale
Darrell Waltrip said right after the race that he was worried about Dale because that's the type of wreck that can hurt you. It didn't look like much to most of us, but to a multi time champ, it looked bad.
Where can we find the full video?
Watching Schraders interview, knowing how comical and smart assed he could be, when asked about DEs condition, he said I ain't no doctor, in a sharp tone, I knew immediately.
Actually people who understood physics knew how bad it was. The car stopped instantly going forward. That was the worse possible wreak. This documentary sucks. You couldn’t even see his eyes cause of the helmet and the camera angle.
Where can I find the rest of this??
It is a very poor documentary, lots of errors in it
This is stupid because anyone that knows anything about NASCAR or racing in general knows that a head on collision is worse then flipping the car because all the energy forces and your body goes straight. Nothing is absorbed. Maybe a little now with the safer barriers. But when the cars is barrel rolling a lot of the energy and g forces are absorbed so its not as bad not that its not dangerous but its not as bad as a head on collision at 180 mph like Dale's was. It looked bad and obviously it was.
I raced for years.. Was not a bad wreck. Dale was in a bad wreck at Talladega and hurt his neck. He was not released from the Doctor to drive. No Dr going to keep him out of that race car. Yes he broke his neck he was not healed so was not going to take much
@@jeffwoods5336 Actually he was healed by 2001. He had the surgery he needed to finish his recovery a year or two prior.
I never understood how people could say the wreck didn't look bad enough to kill someone at the time. It was obviously a very serious wreck. You could see the roof warp as well as portions of the car opposite from any impact. The wheel came off which, while not unheard of, was fairly rare by 2001 for a "simple" wall impact unless it was a big hit.

A wreck just like Dale's could easily kill a driver today, no matter what kind of safety equipment they add. It just takes the wrong luck at the wrong time. Even the Hans Device and SAFER Barriers probably wouldn't have saved Dale from at least being a vegetable for the rest of his life.
Not true. I saw it live and we all knew after 30 seconds something bad was wrong.
I was just about to say they would realize something was wrong very quickly
As soon as he hit the wall he was dead. I knew it was bad. I'll tell you why.
What does almost every single driver so when they hit the wall?
They jump on the brakes. When Sr hit the wall, the rear tires never stopped spinning. He died as soon as he hit the wall.
Rob Akers he literally walked to the ambulance. He had internal bleeding.
John Roman no he did not walk anywhere
@@gufaaahhh what? No
He had a repaired broken neck as well, so they could have been a factor too . It was so sad.
You’re exactly right. The skull fracture was what killed him above all but the injuries to his neck in the crash are described as an “internal decapitation” his skull and the base of his head/neck area that goes to the brain were completely destroyed from the force of his head hitting the steering wheel
Since his crash, NASCAR finally implemented (much needed) safety features to the tracks a.k.a (soft walls)& driver's equipment (Hans head & neck restraints). He basically gave his life to save all the other driver's.
The add threw me off lol
This... is... sad
1 bc dale is dead
2 bc this video is so bad I actually cried
Did we see the same video? This was like some high school reenactment.
@@missygrossman225 You realize he said the video was BAD right? lol
Great content Reelz. Definitely will never watch this channel again
your explaining Dale's wreck, and then you go to a f__king commercial. BAD DOGGIE
Drs say he was dead instantly
Jason Shea Theres footage of him getting out of the car and walking to the ambulance, he didnt die instantly
Cassidy Muller That footage is from 1997, when Earnhardt flipped his car and walked away. Earnhardt did not walk away from his 2001 crash. He essentially died on scene from blunt force trauma to his head and neck.
@@cassidymuller7401 there really isn't
He knew that Dale Earnhardt Sr was gone! One of the saddest moments for Kenny! He knew Dale would be racing with the Angels. Peace to you Kenny and Blessings to you and Dale. We lost a dear man that day but he is soaring with the Angels in Heaven. Our precious Sugar Bear (service dog for Jerry) and Jerry are soaring in Heaven and waiting for me to join them all!👩🦳🐕😇😇😇😇🐻🚖🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Don't forget about Paul walker
@@DEIFAN don't worry..Paul Walker's death was hard but for us Dale Earnhardt Sr's death hit Jerry and Sugar Bear and me really hard. We miss him to this day but Jerry and Sugar Bear are watching Dale race in Heaven with the Angels!
@@gloriaannopperman2734 I just know that Paul in his skyline and Dale sr in his intimidator car are having a blast in heaven. They probably are with Senna too.
@@DEIFAN A Ok. Thanks.
I never, until today, knew Dale's seatbelt broke loose in the crash causing his chin to hit the steering wheel. I just assumed his head gettin' violently thrown about caused his injury. I just never have heard in all the interviews, including Dale Jr's Download, that his belt broke. What driver's gonna survive a crash going 200+ mph and his seatbelt breaks? None. I miss him today.

It didn't look that bad.
For the time back then the crash didn't look that bad. Like now it'd be seen as bad but dale has been through more crazy looking crashes at the time.
If you look closely, his car maintains just enough traction that, now sideways, it sped up very quickly toward the wall, and he did hit almost head on but then slid. So it really doesn't look that bad. He hit at about 30mph and snapped his neck on the steering wheel.
Those who say it didn't look bad definetly failed Physics in high school.
What in the fuck was that?? Way to tell the story. Terrible piece of work
Why did you upload this way?!! Tell me
the beginig picture is not it
What did I just watch????
The confusing thing is it didn't look like a big impact
They didn't have the safety features like they do now
No Respect, with a commercial at the end. You learn which channels you NEVER want to subscribe to.
Schrader had his helmet on there champ, you couldn't see his eyes
Nascar is losing viewers today. It's because of these dang playoffs and stage racing. When Dale Earnhardt raced, there were no stage points, no chase, and no playoffs. They won championships, not chases. 😠🤬😡
He *could* have used the HANS device.
That was the first race that the Hans device was used in NASCAR. Only 5 drivers elected to use it, ironically Michael Waltrip was one of them. Dale claimed he'd retire before wearing one. The majority of the rest of the drivers were very firmly against it because they preferred to have a clear visual from side to side. But honestly, I think even with the Hans device, Dale would have at least been a vegetable. SAFER Barriers might have made the difference, but even that is far from a sure thing.
@@captainnebulous2918 I won’t disagree with most of what you said, except the part about dale being brain dead.
He, and the three or four young men before him, died because their heads stretched about 18 inches forward from their neck.
By the way, Dale thought the full face helmet contributed to the deaths of those before him. How ironic that he proved that wrong.
Then there is the accusation from simpson that dale’s seat and safety equipment wasn’t installed correctly...
But, thanks for your post. 👍
You couldn’t see Ken Schraeder’s eyes. His motions spoke volumes though.
Reelz must be hard up if they're doing Earnhardt.
I knew it was bad after the first replay...
Its crazy to think that if the 36 car wouldnt of been there that he would of been fine
As easy as it is to blame he was going into the wall. Sterling got him loose or Sr blocked too hard... In any instance Kenny just in the wrong place
@@hpo964 They were all in the wrong place. Sad as it is to say, Earnhardt himself is more to blame for the wreck than anyone else. To this day I'm actually not really sure how he expected to not wreck with what he was doing going into turn 3.
Sad day and i still remember where i was watching it. Has anybody ever thought of how many deceased persons police officers and firefighters see throghout the week? I know DE death was tragic, but it aint nothing like first responders see day in and day out.
I was asleep in a wadi in Masirah, Oman, when the only phone in the wadi rings in the middle of the night, and it was a call from home that Dale just died at Daytona. My heart still aches today as it did on that day.😪
Rip Dale Earnhardt
I was watching that race...I've seen Dale crash a lot harder than that. But I knew he was gone...I felt him leave... "True Story"

Earnhardt’s head probably traveled about 18 inches forward, while his shoulders remained stationary.
If factually accurate, that pretty much horrifically explains how severe the crash was
Very inaccurate because Chevrolet did not use the SS in NASCAR until 2013
@Animefan oo7. If you think the SS Monte Carlo wasn't used until 2013 you would be wrong. You may want to take a gander back in history since Dale won two of his NASCAR championships driving SS Monte Carlos.
@@anthonynelson9136 Chevy Impala SS
@smoke 14 SS Monte Carlo Aero Coupe
@ Animefan 007 So there were no SS Monte Calo Aero Coupes in the eighties?
@@anthonynelson9136 The OP is pointing out that the cars used in this video are Chevy Impala SS. To to be honest with you, I can't tell what they are, because the graphics suck.
Lol @ the #1 car that they haphazardly slapped the m&m's scheme on the front of. What is this? 😂
It's weird no-one knows the condition of dale earnhardt when Srchader reached him. I wonder what he saw.
I read an article from a guy who was there at the race. Says he looked to his wife and say "they're gonna have an accident" and ten seconds later was when the accident happened. He had a clear view of Schrader when Schrader went to check on Dale and from the look on Schrader's face he knew that Dale was gone. He said 2 years later he went to one of Schrader's businesses and Schrader was there and he asked Schrader what exactly did he see. Said Kenny said Dale was sitting up, his eyes were open and blood was coming from his eyes, mouth, nose and ears. And he could see bones coming from the back of Dale's head. He knew immediately. Says Schrader said he'll never speak publicly about what he saw but if Dale Jr. ever asks he would tell him.
That man will be haunted by that visual for the rest of his life.
@@BAKERY_CLOSED oh wow 😨
Thats Kind A Ralph Earnhardts Died
I cannot find a definitive answer to this question on the internet. What was Earnhardt's impact speed when his car [3] hit the wall? Second question: impact speed of Schrader's car [36]. Does anyone know? Here is my estimation, 35 mph.
Reenactment or original film?
First and Last video i'll click on by Reelzbullshit.
The ULTIMATE HARD CHARGER!...THE GREATEST...THE MAN...WE'LL NEVER SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN....
#GODSPEED#3
That was not a bad hit is the worst comment ever.
Dales car snapped lose & shot directly into the wall @ full speed.
That was not a bad hit is the most Ridiculous statement.
it didn’t look like he was going to fast so im confused on how it killed him. sorry im not a nascar or racing fan. RIP Dale Earnhardt
Wtf at the end?
WAIT WHAT NO STOP WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME IVE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS WRECK WHAT THE HECK MAN CMON MAN WHAT THE HECK
In the original 1977 'Star Wars' release, Jedi knight Obi Wan knew he would not leave the newly constructed Death Star battle station alive.
Did Dale Sr., similarly, have the same foretelling at Daytona?
But in their deaths, through their proteges, they both became 'more powerful than one could imagine'... Neck hairs raising thinking about this parallel!
Ken schrader is a good friend to help dale sr
I think I know what he saw Dale‘s head is probably out of place
Those who could watch the in car camera monitors probably knew Earnhardt was dead. They saw it all. I remember Darrell Waltrip saying something like, "Dale WAS a great driver", not long before they signed off...so he knew.
As far as I know, the camera had been sheered into a rather "uninformative" angle.... which was fairly common in those days after a hard impact.
what the f**k is with the ad?? are you kidding me?
Kenny Schrader knew he was seeing Dale dead or near death
The moment he hit the wall, he was gone. I just hope he didnt feel anything.
@@salvadorvillagomez8108 no chance he felt it. Even if he didn’t die immediately on impact let’s say he was officially gone when they slid to the grass he was knocked unconscious from the impact his head made
Man that crash look so innocent but no
Dale sr. Might be dead,but u treat him like a nascar king..
48fan nascar l.ol if dale did what Kyle Busch did nobody would give two fucking shits...
he was
Thats because he is
Dale is NASCAR's greatest driver ever Jimmie Johnson is nothing compared to Dale Earnhardt the intimadator will always be the greatest all-time
What do you mean until it was too late he was killed instantly??
Supposedly Dale was almost completely decapitated by a piece of shrapnel that came through the netting on his window and impacted him in the neck. I wasn't there so I can't confirm it but that theory makes sense as to why Ken Schrader reacted the way he did when he looked into the car
I don't believe so his basilar skull fracture essentially makes you bleed out from all orifices. So blood was most likely rushing out of his noses, ears, mouth etc that's why Ken was so frantic when he walked up to the window.
Very sad indeed. NASCAR should have mandated HANS devices and full-face helmets like IMSA and IndyCar, but decided they were not needed until it was too late.
Today, Dale probably would have walked away from that crash with barely a scratch, although when one loosens their belts while still racing, no amount of safety devices will save them.
At least part of his legacy is that safety became paramount in NASCAR after his death, and that many of his fellow drivers and future stars are much safer today due to his loss. RIP#3!
0:27 Does this guy not look and sound a lot like DW??
How could you tell how big Kenny Schrader's eyes were.When he had his helmet on when approaching Dales wreck car.Little advise when making a vid.Do your homework first. You must of been sleeping in the grand stand on turn four when the wreck happen
He had his visor up when he looked in the car
Exactly Jake. Sometimes, you have to decide...is the person commentating really THAT dumb, or are they covering something up. And I'll add this just for the other dumb-asses out here : Dale was the last driver to ever wear the open-faced helmet. Which means the helmet covers the head only, you can see the eyes, nose, mouth, and in his case the mooo-stache !! Miss ya #3 !!!
@@aaronmichael7116 Yep. Dale actually said he'd retire before being forced to wear a full faced helmet. He then said the same thing about the Hans Device during the very speedweeks in which he died
This was some straight up disrespectful click bait. Thumbs down
It's so rushed
Was working in a bar while I was in college. Only had races on for the wrecks. Good tips that night. Management Replayed the crash over and over.
Crash didn’t look bad at all.
he had a broken ankle , 8 broken ribs, a cut above the eye blood coming out of his ears and fractures at the base of the skull. he went like senna… Blunt force trauma to the head…
How can anybody say going head on into a cement wall at 160 mph then getting T-boned "wasn't a bad crash"? If that isn't bad then what is? I knew he was unconscious after the Victory Lane interview when they showed a long shot and they were peeling the roof back to lift him straight out the top. Then I saw footage of Schrader waving his arms screaming at the ambulance to hurry up. Right then I expected the worst. Never was an Earnhardt fan but that was a sad time.
I just, today, heard that his seatbelt broke loose causing him to lunge forward allowing his chin to hit the steering wheel. If his seatbelt hadn't broke, who knows?
Not a bad hit ? Man that is crazy he went
from 160mph to 0 in too short of a distance to survive!! 1000 pounds of GeForce is to much stress on the body!!
I know what Ken Schrader saw because
I talked to a women who brother was a Emt that day!!
160mph sideways. when the wheels caught traction, the car went from 0 to maybe 70mph to 0 (wall). The bottom line is the man wasn't wearing his seatbelt 🙁 so his chin hit the steering wheel cracking his skull and for some reason the ambulance took a dead body to the hospital😒. His friend probably saw a black face with bugged eyes wide open.
@Rico Baca Rico, I live 20 minutes from Daytona Speedway and Esrnhardts lower jaw was pushed out the back of his skull!!
Per EMT who was working at the track that day.
this is awful!
This will be the last channel I’d subscribe too, everything about it is wrong.........if you can’t do better than that.....quit
WTF was that
