- Everyone would survive and be okay.
I am aware that some of these are not technically "Sprint Cars" however to make the title less wordy I will just refer to them as Asphalt Sprint Cars.
Midget cars are smaller versions of a full size sprint car, normally non-wing only. Midgets date back to the 1930s as a very common form of sprint car racing, still very popular today and also sanctioned by USAC, POWRI, and others. They are powered by four-cylinder engines developing around 350 horsepower (260 kW), but are only similar to their larger cousins in appearance.

That first crash was Mac McClellan. I was at IRP that night, sitting just past the S/F line. I believe Mac was driving a Kenyon Bros midget that night. Either he forgot his arm restraints that night or they broke. His arms were outside the cage throughout those side rolls. I believe that he broke his arms badly and never raced again.
RIP Gary Lee and Larry Rice
I remember watching these back in the day on ESPN 2 Thursday Night Thunder. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, etc. IRP has great races!
I watched these races as well. It was a great era of motorsports.
Same here! I loved Saturday Night Thunder, and remember seeing several of those crashes.
watching this makes me wonder how much money IRP had to spend just repairing fences good lord
The aesthetic of Sprint Cars and Midgets is fairly similar to the 1950s-1960s designs of race cars. Very light and powerful at the same time, requires a lot of skills and bravery to compete there considering also the wrecks that they do.
Man, there was nothing better to me as a kid during the summer than lounging on the couch watching Thursday Night Thunder and Saturday Night Thunder with my Dad. One of my fondest memories.

My dad, Jim Rieder, owned and built that car that Bobby Cicconi destroyed at Winchester.
Asphalt-sprint/midgets -- I'm going to start watching this type of racing, kind of looks more fun than those 'big league' formats...
Better show any day...
They all across Indiana during the summer weekends
Follow Must See Racing, we run winged 410s on pavement. 🤙
@@kevinmingus3221 love to see them at Harvicks Kern Raceway !!!
Watch usac silver crown
You have the best motorsports crashes channel and it's not even close. You dig for the real stuff and I adore it. Keep up the phenomenal job!
I remember those days watching ESPN's "Thursday Night Thunder" series. Some of the best racing I've seen on TV. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and other legends battling it out every week. Good times. RIP Kenny Irwin.
I remember watching these with my Dad on Thursday Night Thunder. Though it was entertaining, midgets have no place on a high speed asphalt track. The family of Rich Vogler would agree.
Those Asphalt Midgets man, watching them rip around short tracks is like Nascar drivers ripping around Daytona! They are moving fast!
All of those crashes, every single one of them, are so, so violent, and all of the flips are very violent too.
A few repeat clips. Not sure why you didn’t include replays with some of them. Overall, not bad.
Great video, thanks for posting.
There are bold race car drivers and old race car drivers but not too many old bold drivers. AJ Foyt!
At IRP and Winchester. you can wreck in turn 3 on the last lap and still cross the finish line. We had the same thing at I-70 in it's glory days. New sub!
As someone who never really watched this kind of racing, I'm shocked at how many names I recognize that made it Nascar and Indycar. Stewart, Dismore, Irwin, Bliss, and a dozen others.
You forgot to mention Stan Fox, also the same guy who almost lost his life on the first lap of the 1995 Indy 500
@@lucasesquivel2525 one of the dozen others 😂
Dont forget Jack Hewitt and Sammy.
No doubt...the worst.... that T-bone at 11:13 was the worst because of all the time to see it coming.... like a sprint car firing squad.
0:55 I didn't know Tony Stewart was also a sprint car driver... Huh
85% Midgets 10% Sprint cars and 5% Silver Crown cars, Better retitle this to "Open wheel pavement cars"
Too wordy
Open Wheel Pavement Cars. Try that Einstein@@crazycars81
As they say....no guts, no glory...
The rpm's on that first flip is ridiculous, has anyone tried counting how many rotations that was?
I counted 14
Imagine the g forces 😭
@@Nick_J_ nice
@@RacingFanForLife19 red blood shot eyes for sure. 👀
@tylerdurden4006 I just can't 😭😭😭 probably 15-20gs :(
That first one was atrocious. What a wild wild wreck. Wow!!!
And the following day Davey Allison had his vicious tumble at Pocono.
How I miss this racing! USAC at IRP, back when ESPN showed sports
I was at the Salem race when went over the wall in turn 1, and 2
That first one is insane
If I ever get the chance to drive race cars. I will always be hesitant of open wheel racing. Just seems like it’s far more deadly than cars with fenders
how many drivers died in this video? man those are some really hard hits in small race cars.....
I have met and talked with Kenny Erwin ,, he was a really good racer so much promise,, Kenny you are missed R I P
Eddie Horne from my hometown. That was the end of his career
Thanks for the video brother! Anyone know if they still race these on asphalt ? I love watching the midgets race on dirt
Afew times a year but not even close to like it used to be
@@crazycars81 gotcha. I can see why lol the chilli bowl is coming up in like a week which is midgets on a short dirt track indoors. Tons of crashes and action!
I would start with the USAC website. This is their wheelhouse and I'm sure they have schedules posted.
@@tanker335 appreciate it 💪
@@FeelGood_Films the biggest asphalt sprint car series is called the 500 sprint car tour. The tour is centered around the little 500 in Anderson Indiana which is the crown jewel of asphalt sprint cars, but they also race at other tracks. The crash at 6:30 in the video was from the little 500. Most of these crashes in this video are USAC sprint car/midgets races, USAC now does pavement racing sparingly. These cars are amazing to watch on dirt too which is really more popular, although I like both surfaces. USAC does most of their pavement racing in the Usac silver crown series which is a half dirt half pavement schedule.
OMG the first one!!!
Can you please do a Sebring worst crashes video?
Today maybe
I miss Thursday Night Thunder sooo much.
7:05 blowover in a sprintcar⁉️⁉️⁉️
it's hard to see, but no. He clipped the right rear of the car ahead and it took off like that...
'Midget' is less wordy than 'Asphalt Sprint Cars'
Cool
What is the race that had the big banking
Winchester speedway
Salem Speedway is the other one.
ouch
R they all ok?!?!
Are they? This is insane!!!
i just cant get into oval racing. even crash videos where the commentators say "oh into the wall and catch fence" over and over through the whole video and the same crashes happen..
car failure, driver error, what ever! something happens and they end up in the wall...
Aspalt Sprint cars are not a great idea.... 😨
This is why you don’t race these things
Racing sprints on Asphalt has been my dream since I was 9
@@ChasinTracksyour nine year old self didn't know what a traumatic brain injury or shattered vertebrae was
@@IceTrey98c even to this day I wanna race these at a local track
@@ChasinTracks go for it, we always need more crash test dummies for the sport. I'll be the guy building the motors in the back of the shop haha
Another nasqueen that can’t take real racing
First
