Haha I love it when people react to NASCAR crashes for the first time. Well to answer one question, when the car spins backwards or stays horizontal, the air can get under it because of how aerodynamic it is and it will either hang in the air completely flip over. Ever since the 90s they introduced the roof-flaps. Which do a significant job of keeping the car on the ground. It doesn't work 100% of the time (you can't beat physics lol) but lately blowovers have been popping up.
No fatalities in this video, but there were injuries 5:50 Austin Dillon: Only complaint was being very sore after this.

He has this car and the car from 9:00 in his garage as a reminder 10:50 Ricky Rudd(Retired in 2007): Suffered bruised ribs and a concussion
Rusty’s two crashes, as well as one for the late Neil Bonnet in the second Talladega race that year (1993), played a huge part in the roof flaps becoming a thing. And while airborne crashes still happen, they would be far more frequent without them.
Crazy as it sounds these types of crashes aren’t bad for the drivers, I drive dirt modifieds and we do gymnastics often! The cars are dissipating energy when flipping and parts flying off, however when you see a boring car just slam the wall and stop all the energy is transferred to the weakest part, the monkey in the seat lol!

Hopefully this helps. 0:27 - The majority of NASCAR tracks are circular (they're commonly referred to as ovals), but there are a few races that are ran on road courses. Last year, the first ever NASCAR street circuit race was held in the streets of Chicago. 0:55 - Oval tracks are wide enough to allow three or four cars to run side by side with each other, so they can make passes up high (by getting a small run coming off from the banked turn and onto the flat straightaway) and down low (simply because it's the shorter way around the track). 1:36 - At larger tracks, such as this one, the draft from a leading car can allow a trailing car to go faster, because there's less air resistance from behind. When timed perfectly, just doing that can get you a win. 6:49 - All the crashes in this video, and not a single fatality. There hasn't been one in over 20 years, since 2001. The safety devices and regulations NASCAR have adopted made the sport far safer since then. Over the course of time, there have been various drivers that receive injuries in a crash (like Newman's crash at 9:50), but they're comparable to athletes. They're very fit and don't typically spend long at the hospital. 14:55 - The safety devices are essentially state of the art. Inside a car, there are thick roll bars that help prevent the cockpit from collapsing. Furthermore, the seats are fitted to the driver, to help keep them from moving around too much in a hard crash. Drivers also wear HANS (Head and Neck Support) devices to keep them from lurching forward in a head-on crash. Lastly, almost all tracks utilize SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barriers on the outside retaining walls, which helps deflect energy outward and not back to the driver. There are some videos on UA-cam that dive further into the safety of NASCAR and the events that led to the sport becoming much safer. 15:37 - Crashes occur basically in each race, although most of the time they're simple wall taps and spinouts. It's just the general nature of NASCAR racing. We only see the airborne cars a couple of times per season, mainly at the big tracks.
Nascar has developed many rules, regulations and safety features over the years, to keep the drivers as safe as possible with this style of racing. Moving at these speeds with the cars so close together, the air around the cars play a major factor, so even a little nudge can make the car lose control. The cars have been designed to protect the drivers. These car are built aerodynamically to go very fast in the forward direction, so when they get turned around at high speeds the flaps on the roof open to help slow the car down. However air gets under the car ( when going in reverse, front end is lower with a spoiler ) and lifts it into the air. Without the roof flaps, these cars would launch like a surface to air missile.
Something to consider. At tracks like Daytona and Talladega the cars are traveling faster than the takeoff speeds for large commercial jets. When the car is pointing forward, the cars are built to force them to stay on the ground. When they get sideways, or backwards during the COT era, the same design that produces downforce when it's running straight, now produces lift. If enough lift is produced, they will get airborne. At that point, you're just along for the ride, hoping the landings don't hurt too much.
the cup cars weigh about 3,600 lbs and on the superspeedway they are going almost 200 mph. A number of these races they run for 400-500 mile with one race is 600 miles. Some of the cars have cameras and they will show the view from inside the car including during the crashes..
To defy gravity. The same principles that use speed and air flow dynamics to allow planes to fly are the reason these cars get airborne. When they are going fast forwards they are pushed down onto the ground , when they get sideways or backwards the car acts like the wing of a plane and it becomes an uncontrollable aircraft. At high velocity with no chance for recovery.
The cars are made to shed body panels in a controlled manner in a crash. That reduces the kinetic energy, so when the car stops, less energy is transferred into the driver's body, reducing risk of injury. The driver also has a very strong roll cage completely surrounding her or his seat, and is, in turn, wearing a tight 5 point harness, a head and neck restraint, the driver cannot actually turn his or her head, and a series of spotters around the track use a radio to keep the driver aware of the other cars. These are all an evolution from the days when drivers only had a lap belt and open face helmet. And despite the rivalries, the racing teams all look out for each other when it comes to safety for the drivers and the pit crews.
most of these clips were of superspeedways in nascar, where the cars are restricted in power because unrestricted they go 220+ mph. with the restrictions, they go 185-190, and with how big the vehicles are they punch a hole in the air so it allows a pack to form. i think you should react to this past weekend's race at talladega, it's a pretty damn good showcase of what this kind of racing is. nascar does not race on these kind of circuits every week, only 6 out of a 36-race calendar. intermediates, short-tracks, & 1-milers make up the rest of the ovals on the slate. nascar does race on road & street-courses like f1, there will be 6 of them in total in the 2025 season. i really think you should start reacting to the racing itself, like the greatest passes, because nascar isn't crashing all the time. it's a great sport haha
Ma'am, NASCAR races usually depend on the Draft to be able to pass cars. A Draft is the hole in the air (low pressure actually) that forms behind a car as it's driving at a high speed. Cars following other cars really closely, usually around 90 ft, will catch the Draft and will be able to go faster because there's less air pressure catching their front end. And believe it or not, this also helps the car that is being drafted. So in order to pass, the car behind them can use this Draft to sling shot around the car being drafted. You can experience this phenomenon yourself while driving behind a vehicle larger than your own. You may notice that if you ever get behind a large truck that your vehicle doesn't require as much power to keep up with the truck. Same principle in NASCAR.
I'd recommend SPEEDWAY it's oval racing on dirt tracks with speedway bikes. The bikes are 500cc 2 stroke that run on methanol fuel and if that isn't crazy enough they also have no BRAKES. It's Poland's number 1 sport Speedway crashes can be extreme
13:00 You only saw a certain style of racing called superspeedway racing. The cars are all going max speed, which is around 190 MPH. The reason why they are so close is because they are all going the same speed, there isn't any braking it's just pedal to the metal, and due to the effects of slipstream they are able to stay with each other. If they have help from a car behind they can get a push which allows for massive momentum and a good way to pass. For other tracks where you actually have to brake, the racing tends to vary. Some tracks you can ride the bottom groove, although you don't have as much speed coming off a turn. While on some tracks you can be right up against the wall and have a lot more speed off the corner. You can also just bump people to make them go up the track and lose speed, but that's not really "fair" so people don't do it. although it is allowed.
React to NASCAR greatest finishes cause the crashes scare people so much and NASCAR is the best sport right now in 2024 plus you should react to NASCAR finishes of 2024 so far you will enjoy it
There called oval race track. Not a circle. There's a heavy duty tube cage surrounds the driver. The drivers seat wraps around the driver. Its custom made to the back/ backside of the driver. Like custom fit shoes. You feel like your wearing the seat. Theres a "halo" that goes around the helmet to keep your head from being knocked around. Theres a 6 point racing seat belt. That "clamps" you into the seat. You can only move your arms and your legs when belted in. Theres a "hans"=H.ead A.nd N.eck restraint for the helmet. This keeps your head from snapping forward when the race car hits something head-on. this is all there so WHILE THE WRECK IS HAPPENING YOU WON'T GET KNOCKED AROUND AND IF YOUR HELD STILL while the wreck is happining YOU WON'T GET HURT. in a street car you'll get knocked around and you'll get hurt more than likely. The race car drivers suit is 2 to 3 layer fireproof nomex type of fabric suit. And fire proof long underwear they wear under the racing suit. There is also nomex fireproof bras. It gets up to 140 degreesin the car while racing. Theres a cool shirt they wear that has coolant pumped thru small tubes sewn in the shirt to keep the drivers cool. And a hose that attaches to the helmet that shoots fresh air into the helmet. They have roof flaps on the roof to help keep the car on the ground and not get airborne. So theres a ALOT of saftey built into these race cars. So they can go fast and be safe. The tires get changed during the race because the tire is made of a very soft rubber that sticks to the track for more cornering grip but wears out fast so they change the tires for new race tires.
How to Pass: on 2.5mile superspeedway ovals they draft off each other at top speed and slingshot past the next car using a drafting partner. It's a game of chess and a 180mph dance. Kinda like following the faster lane of cars on a 4 lane highway...only waaay faster. The race tracks are all different lengths so there's different strategy for different tracks. On short tracks there not going that fast so you can bump cars out of the way to pass. You can pass other cars at any oval track using better pit stop strategy than the competition. Or a faster pit stop. Witch gets you back out on track faster. Team strategy on when to stop for fuel and tires is HUGE for helping to win the race. Ya gotta have better strategy than everyone else. Somebody can come up with a better car/suspension set-up than ever one else and just be faster. Or have a better driver than everyone else. And don't mess up at all. Can't speed on pit road. If you do there's a drive through the pits penalty and you better not speed through the pits doing the Penalty.
3:21 the reason these cars get airborne and flip is because they have aerodynamic components to keep them on the ground when going in a straight line but when they get turned sideways those exact components do the exact opposite of what they're meant to do because it's sideways not going in a straight and the opposite of down force is lift and at the speeds these guys are going (around 200mph / 300kmh for the British) the car pretty much becomes an airplane with no control
Every wreck in this video except for one happened at either Daytona or Talladega. The wreck with the red #12 car happened at Atlanta. The reason why so many wild wrecks happen at Daytona and Talladega is because of how close the cars race to one another and when one thing goes wrong, a lot of drivers don't have any time to react.
Think of it like this. The cars are going so fast that they are essentially a piece of paper blowing in the wind. The cars are not aerodynamically equipped to be turned around backwards at 160-200 MPH, so they are lifted like a feather.
the cars are all pretty equally matched so they're all bunched up. on big tracks like this, it often comes down to aerodynamics and sometimes saving fuel. the shorter tracks and road courses are where the driver's skill is more of a factor. although it takes skill to run the big tracks too.
An superspeedway oval (not a "circle") is much wider than road circut and rules keep the performance of the different cars much closer than F1. Also with several pitstops, pit strategy can be the decisive factor in the race. Those are a couple of the reason there's a lot more passing in NASCAR than F1.
These cars are doing 200 mph (321.9 kph). They are going so fast that they actually fly vertical when they crash. The weight of a NASCAR car is approximately 3,200 lb (1,452 kg) without the driver or fuel. Driver Weight Consideration: The standard driver weight assumed by NASCAR is 180 pounds. Any driver weighing less must compensate by adding weight to their vehicle to align with this benchmark.
So that Ricky Rudd crash that looked like a tornado... He spun so fast that the g-forces popped a bunch of blood vessels in his face around his eyes swelling them shut for a week. He drove the next race with his eyes taped open.
They race circle tracks as well as road course tracks. Before the race they qualify which gives the time each car requires to make a lap one time around. Fastest car starts first and progressively slower cars behind. A set number of laps for the entire race. First car to the finish line on the last lap wins.
Nascar stands for national association of stock car Racers. The name is a bit deceptive. In the early days of nascar, the cars were entirely stock, but as time went on, they had to have special motors built so they could achieve the speeds that they do now.
The best video to watch to be introduced to NASCAR would be a video by UA-camr emp lemon titles there will never be another driver like dale Earnhardt. The video covers the history, Dale Earnhardt and nascars system in general.
Those are super speedway races which is know as bump drafting which is why the cars are all close which causes a lot of wrecks. NASCAR is much safer than it was in the 90s when Dale Earnhardt died. NASCAR implemented safer barrier walls and hans devices
Seeing how you are new to this I shall explain the technique --- go fast, turn left, repeat!!!! Some of these crashes take half a day to end... The old timers call this swapping paint!! In the old days this happened often.. Not as often these days...!!!!!! These cars have a metal cage that surrounds the driver. The seat is custom fitted to the driver. They wear fire resistant suits! And full face helmets with a device that protects the neck. They have a five point lap & shoulder belt. And fuel tanks that don't leak like normal tanks. This racing is much safer than it used to be. Crashes like this are why you are not allowed to stand near the fence!! Deivers are taught to let go of the steering wheel in a crash to prevent your wrists getting broken. If you are interested in another wild American car racing sport.? Check out the worst NHRA crashes. Some of these vehicles are running over 10,000 horsepower. Some of them are going over 300 miles per hour in about one quarter of a mile. Just unreal. Very exciting...... Later lady.
NASCAR in terms of the racing and competition > F1 and basically most Motorsports, nascar has always raced on actual road course ever since it started in the 40’s the last handful of years nascar has been going to more they’ve had like 5 or 6 on the schedule since 2021 I wanna say and just last year as well as this year they ran a race on the streets of Chicago both where pretty solid with the 2023 race winner being Aussie v8 driver Shane van Gisbergen becoming the first driver to win in his nascar cup debut in like 60 years it was his first nascar start in general and nascars first street race
Why do you think they can't pass? They run on several types of tracks. Those wrecks were on superspeedway tracks, where they go 190-200 MPH. But they run on road course, Street courses, short tracks and intermediate tracks too. Those tight packs on Superspeedways is caused because they slow the cars down to under 200 MPH, that makes them run in packs. You can push and use the air to "draft" and split wind resistance between multiple cars to make them go faster. You literally push the car in front of you past the car in front of it.
Dale Earnhardt in the in in the term for Rick and turn for in Daytona 500 and he had a wreck in 191 Mikey one because they were they were seeing results all he was doing is helping Mikey go to the finish line and Dale Junior was doing all they can
Much looks worse than it is. There is a roll cage and lots of safety gear. Also the panels are designed to peel away in the body. It is dangerous with speeds close to 300 MPH reached. A famous crash with Earnhardt changed a safety item with the head gear. His helmet literally ripped his head off going into the wall. Now those helmets include straps to the seat to restrain it like the 5 point harness does the body.
Dale earnhardt sr. died of a vascular skull fracture. His head was not ripped off. And yes, it is true after dale earnhardt sr. Was killed in a car crash. The hans device was made mandatory, as was the padding on the walls of the track, which was designed to absorb some of the impact of the cars to reduce injuries like what happened with dale earnhardt senior
Round and Round they go and they call themselves racing drivers!?🙄😂😁😂 NASCAR isn't racing it's just boring repetition going round and Round a oval circuit until someone crashes which is a great deal like what we call Banger Racing in the UK. 🙄 Try F1 then you can say you can race a car. 👌
the crashes are what draw crowds at those speeds the car becomes an airfoil if the car gets a bit bouncing up the air pressure can flip the car I've stopped watching because they are crashing so often and have to restart then another crash =another restart gets boring after a while IMHO

At that point, you're just along for the ride, hoping the landings don't hurt too much.
Welcome to NASCAR. You have a new subscriber now. Also look up one of the beginners guides to NASCAR videos to get more info on what the sport is.
thanks!
Watching people from other countries blind reacting to blowovers is one of my favorite forms of entertainment
the cup cars weigh about 3,600 lbs and on the superspeedway they are going almost 200 mph. A number of these races they run for 400-500 mile with one race is 600 miles. Some of the cars have cameras and they will show the view from inside the car including during the crashes..
To defy gravity. The same principles that use speed and air flow dynamics to allow planes to fly are the reason these cars get airborne. When they are going fast forwards they are pushed down onto the ground , when they get sideways or backwards the car acts like the wing of a plane and it becomes an uncontrollable aircraft. At high velocity with no chance for recovery.
The cars are made to shed body panels in a controlled manner in a crash. That reduces the kinetic energy, so when the car stops, less energy is transferred into the driver's body, reducing risk of injury. The driver also has a very strong roll cage completely surrounding her or his seat, and is, in turn, wearing a tight 5 point harness, a head and neck restraint, the driver cannot actually turn his or her head, and a series of spotters around the track use a radio to keep the driver aware of the other cars. These are all an evolution from the days when drivers only had a lap belt and open face helmet.
And despite the rivalries, the racing teams all look out for each other when it comes to safety for the drivers and the pit crews.
most of these clips were of superspeedways in nascar, where the cars are restricted in power because unrestricted they go 220+ mph. with the restrictions, they go 185-190, and with how big the vehicles are they punch a hole in the air so it allows a pack to form. i think you should react to this past weekend's race at talladega, it's a pretty damn good showcase of what this kind of racing is.
nascar does not race on these kind of circuits every week, only 6 out of a 36-race calendar. intermediates, short-tracks, & 1-milers make up the rest of the ovals on the slate. nascar does race on road & street-courses like f1, there will be 6 of them in total in the 2025 season.
i really think you should start reacting to the racing itself, like the greatest passes, because nascar isn't crashing all the time. it's a great sport haha
200 mph, closer together than you park in a parking lot.
Ma'am, NASCAR races usually depend on the Draft to be able to pass cars. A Draft is the hole in the air (low pressure actually) that forms behind a car as it's driving at a high speed. Cars following other cars really closely, usually around 90 ft, will catch the Draft and will be able to go faster because there's less air pressure catching their front end. And believe it or not, this also helps the car that is being drafted. So in order to pass, the car behind them can use this Draft to sling shot around the car being drafted. You can experience this phenomenon yourself while driving behind a vehicle larger than your own. You may notice that if you ever get behind a large truck that your vehicle doesn't require as much power to keep up with the truck. Same principle in NASCAR.
I'd recommend SPEEDWAY it's oval racing on dirt tracks with speedway bikes. The bikes are 500cc 2 stroke that run on methanol fuel and if that isn't crazy enough they also have no BRAKES. It's Poland's number 1 sport Speedway crashes can be extreme
13:00 You only saw a certain style of racing called superspeedway racing. The cars are all going max speed, which is around 190 MPH. The reason why they are so close is because they are all going the same speed, there isn't any braking it's just pedal to the metal, and due to the effects of slipstream they are able to stay with each other. If they have help from a car behind they can get a push which allows for massive momentum and a good way to pass.
For other tracks where you actually have to brake, the racing tends to vary. Some tracks you can ride the bottom groove, although you don't have as much speed coming off a turn. While on some tracks you can be right up against the wall and have a lot more speed off the corner. You can also just bump people to make them go up the track and lose speed, but that's not really "fair" so people don't do it. although it is allowed.
React to NASCAR greatest finishes cause the crashes scare people so much and NASCAR is the best sport right now in 2024 plus you should react to NASCAR finishes of 2024 so far you will enjoy it
FYI the movie Days of Thunder is based on Stock Car racing and gives a fair intro into the rules and how it is done.
I love watching non NASCAR fans reacting to this video as I know that everyone survives.
There called oval race track. Not a circle.
There's a heavy duty tube cage surrounds the driver. The drivers seat wraps around the driver. Its custom made to the back/ backside of the driver. Like custom fit shoes. You feel like your wearing the seat. Theres a "halo" that goes around the helmet to keep your head from being knocked around. Theres a 6 point racing seat belt. That "clamps" you into the seat. You can only move your arms and your legs when belted in. Theres a "hans"=H.ead A.nd N.eck restraint for the helmet. This keeps your head from snapping forward when the race car hits something head-on. this is all there so WHILE THE WRECK IS HAPPENING YOU WON'T GET KNOCKED AROUND AND IF YOUR HELD STILL while the wreck is happining YOU WON'T GET HURT. in a street car you'll get knocked around and you'll get hurt more than likely. The race car drivers suit is 2 to 3 layer fireproof nomex type of fabric suit. And fire proof long underwear they wear under the racing suit. There is also nomex fireproof bras. It gets up to 140 degreesin the car while racing. Theres a cool shirt they wear that has coolant pumped thru small tubes sewn in the shirt to keep the drivers cool. And a hose that attaches to the helmet that shoots fresh air into the helmet.
They have roof flaps on the roof to help keep the car on the ground and not get airborne. So theres a ALOT of saftey built into these race cars. So they can go fast and be safe.
The tires get changed during the race because the tire is made of a very soft rubber that sticks to the track for more cornering grip but wears out fast so they change the tires for new race tires.
How to Pass: on 2.5mile superspeedway ovals they draft off each other at top speed and slingshot past the next car using a drafting partner. It's a game of chess and a 180mph dance. Kinda like following the faster lane of cars on a 4 lane highway...only waaay faster. The race tracks are all different lengths so there's different strategy for different tracks. On short tracks there not going that fast so you can bump cars out of the way to pass.
You can pass other cars at any oval track using better pit stop strategy than the competition. Or a faster pit stop. Witch gets you back out on track faster. Team strategy on when to stop for fuel and tires is HUGE for helping to win the race. Ya gotta have better strategy than everyone else.
Somebody can come up with a better car/suspension set-up than ever one else and just be faster. Or have a better driver than everyone else. And don't mess up at all. Can't speed on pit road. If you do there's a drive through the pits penalty and you better not speed through the pits doing the Penalty.
3:21 the reason these cars get airborne and flip is because they have aerodynamic components to keep them on the ground when going in a straight line but when they get turned sideways those exact components do the exact opposite of what they're meant to do because it's sideways not going in a straight and the opposite of down force is lift and at the speeds these guys are going (around 200mph / 300kmh for the British) the car pretty much becomes an airplane with no control
NASCAR is an acronym. It stands for The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing.
Every wreck in this video except for one happened at either Daytona or Talladega. The wreck with the red #12 car happened at Atlanta. The reason why so many wild wrecks happen at Daytona and Talladega is because of how close the cars race to one another and when one thing goes wrong, a lot of drivers don't have any time to react.
Think of it like this. The cars are going so fast that they are essentially a piece of paper blowing in the wind. The cars are not aerodynamically equipped to be turned around backwards at 160-200 MPH, so they are lifted like a feather.
9:17 This is Rusty Wallace crashing at Talladega in 1993. That same year he won 10 races.
You should watch nascar's closest finishes to understand why we as fans watch it. The safety of the cars is extremely high.
In some of the races the cars can go nearly 200 Mph or 321.8 Kilometers Per Hour
the cars are all pretty equally matched so they're all bunched up. on big tracks like this, it often comes down to aerodynamics and sometimes saving fuel. the shorter tracks and road courses are where the driver's skill is more of a factor. although it takes skill to run the big tracks too.
The lightning came from the racing gods for saying NASCAR only races in circles!
An superspeedway oval (not a "circle") is much wider than road circut and rules keep the performance of the different cars much closer than F1. Also with several pitstops, pit strategy can be the decisive factor in the race. Those are a couple of the reason there's a lot more passing in NASCAR than F1.
These cars are doing 200 mph (321.9 kph). They are going so fast that they actually fly vertical when they crash. The weight of a NASCAR car is approximately 3,200 lb (1,452 kg) without the driver or fuel. Driver Weight Consideration: The standard driver weight assumed by NASCAR is 180 pounds. Any driver weighing less must compensate by adding weight to their vehicle to align with this benchmark.
Next up, Nascar's Most Destructive crashes.
This is why people go to nascar races😂
They'll be fine.
So that Ricky Rudd crash that looked like a tornado... He spun so fast that the g-forces popped a bunch of blood vessels in his face around his eyes swelling them shut for a week. He drove the next race with his eyes taped open.
They race circle tracks as well as road course tracks. Before the race they qualify which gives the time each car requires to make a lap one time around. Fastest car starts first and progressively slower cars behind. A set number of laps for the entire race. First car to the finish line on the last lap wins.
You are correct. There is a certain time you can pass. From when the race starts until it finishes
NHRA crashes is a good one.
Nascar stands for national association of stock car Racers. The name is a bit deceptive. In the early days of nascar, the cars were entirely stock, but as time went on, they had to have special motors built so they could achieve the speeds that they do now.
What’s with the wolf over the clips ?
to avoid copy right infringement
That crash with Logano, it wasn't in-car camera after the crash, it's another car
Can't see with crap covering the screen, WTF!
The best video to watch to be introduced to NASCAR would be a video by UA-camr emp lemon titles there will never be another driver like dale Earnhardt. The video covers the history, Dale Earnhardt and nascars system in general.
You should react to Ryan Preeces 2023 Daytona flip one of the most insane nascar crashes ever he was ok
These races you are watching are not typical race tracks for NASCAR. It’s only 2 tracks mostly this happens. NASCAR also drives road courses.
Those are super speedway races which is know as bump drafting which is why the cars are all close which causes a lot of wrecks. NASCAR is much safer than it was in the 90s when Dale Earnhardt died. NASCAR implemented safer barrier walls and hans devices
The objective is to cross the finish line first! 🏁
good video... the wolf made it hard to see.
NASCAR Drive fast turn left
You need to learn the drivers names
Keep in mind, these guys are running 190 mph that tight in a group.
Why have the wolf head?
Seeing how you are new to this I shall explain the technique --- go fast, turn left, repeat!!!! Some of these crashes take half a day to end... The old timers call this swapping paint!! In the old days this happened often.. Not as often these days...!!!!!! These cars have a metal cage that surrounds the driver. The seat is custom fitted to the driver. They wear fire resistant suits! And full face helmets with a device that protects the neck. They have a five point lap & shoulder belt. And fuel tanks that don't leak like normal tanks. This racing is much safer than it used to be. Crashes like this are why you are not allowed to stand near the fence!! Deivers are taught to let go of the steering wheel in a crash to prevent your wrists getting broken.
If you are interested in another wild American car racing sport.? Check out the worst NHRA crashes. Some of these vehicles are running over 10,000 horsepower. Some of them are going over 300 miles per hour in about one quarter of a mile. Just unreal. Very exciting...... Later lady.
NASCAR in terms of the racing and competition > F1 and basically most Motorsports, nascar has always raced on actual road course ever since it started in the 40’s the last handful of years nascar has been going to more they’ve had like 5 or 6 on the schedule since 2021 I wanna say and just last year as well as this year they ran a race on the streets of Chicago both where pretty solid with the 2023 race winner being Aussie v8 driver Shane van Gisbergen becoming the first driver to win in his nascar cup debut in like 60 years it was his first nascar start in general and nascars first street race
Why do you think they can't pass? They run on several types of tracks. Those wrecks were on superspeedway tracks, where they go 190-200 MPH. But they run on road course, Street courses, short tracks and intermediate tracks too. Those tight packs on Superspeedways is caused because they slow the cars down to under 200 MPH, that makes them run in packs. You can push and use the air to "draft" and split wind resistance between multiple cars to make them go faster. You literally push the car in front of you past the car in front of it.
How do crashing cars catch fire? Ruptured fuel/oil lines and tanks spewing onto the track ignited by sparking metal on concrete/asphault.
R.I.P Dale Earnhardt
Dale Earnhardt in the in in the term for Rick and turn for in Daytona 500 and he had a wreck in 191 Mikey one because they were they were seeing results all he was doing is helping Mikey go to the finish line and Dale Junior was doing all they can
you need to watch NHRA top fuel funny cars and dragsters
Much looks worse than it is. There is a roll cage and lots of safety gear. Also the panels are designed to peel away in the body. It is dangerous with speeds close to 300 MPH reached. A famous crash with Earnhardt changed a safety item with the head gear. His helmet literally ripped his head off going into the wall. Now those helmets include straps to the seat to restrain it like the 5 point harness does the body.
Dale earnhardt sr. died of a vascular skull fracture. His head was not ripped off.
And yes, it is true after dale earnhardt sr. Was killed in a car crash. The hans device was made mandatory, as was the padding on the walls of the track, which was designed to absorb some of the impact of the cars to reduce injuries like what happened with dale earnhardt senior
Two names. Ryan newman and elliot salder
That's a red 🏁🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🇦🇪🚩🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴flag
Lol we watch them turn left until they crash.
I would recommend whatching the actually racing
Round and Round they go and they call themselves racing drivers!?🙄😂😁😂 NASCAR isn't racing it's just boring repetition going round and Round a oval circuit until someone crashes which is a great deal like what we call Banger Racing in the UK. 🙄
Try F1 then you can say you can race a car. 👌
"How do you past cars? It's a circle."
So young, so naive......
The only fear the audience felt was for spilling beer.
This gladiator sport, the fans demand blood.
the crashes are what draw crowds at those speeds the car becomes an airfoil if the car gets a bit bouncing up the air pressure can flip the car I've stopped watching because they are crashing so often and have to restart then another crash =another restart gets boring after a while IMHO
MOVE THE FOX!!!
Its hard to pass. The aur takes the aero. Away. Its called dirty air and when a driver tries to oass he gets into that furty air and it disturbs. The car.tyen air get under the car.

Have you ever seen F1🏎? Try it
Los the wolf.
306 kmh
I used to watch and was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. The day he died, i stopped watching. I couldn't.
How about you don't put a watermark on half the screen
Boring reaction video
LOVE THE REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!! :) “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13
