I remember when Mike hit the wall, they came up to him to do an interview when he was still on the golf cart and he said that The doctor said he has some contusions and he knows he has some confusions but he's okay... If I remember right, both incidences took place because somebody forgot to put the support at that gate back in place. That is the gate they bring the trucks into the racetrack. There's supports behind the guard rail that strength in the guardrail that allows it to take a heavy impact by cars. Both of Michaels and hermans came out the same problem. Some would have forgot to put the supports in place and nobody double checked it.
See Russel Phillips crash? Surprisingly it makes those two crashes seem like cake work. Can't believe they was allowed to race with no roll cage lol the fence literally ripped Russell to pieces
@@LexyThomas134 he had a roll cage, it's just they didn't really inspect those cars as good as the cup and Busch levels... so that cage was just really weak and couldn't withstand a hit like that
Jeff Fuller essentially sacrificed himself _(Not literally but you get my point)_ to spare Jason Leffler. The Leffler fan of my old racing group still hasn't forgotten that.
7:50 When Eric McClure crashed into the wall, a part from his car striked/pierced his heart, he never recovered fully and he died in 2021 from heart failure. The crash was started by Michael Annett, who tried to overtake Brad Keselowski, they crashed into Kevin Harvick, behind them other drivers tried to avoid the crash, Elliott Sadler unintentionally pushed Eric's car in front of Jeffrey Earnhardt's car, they crashed, spun off the track and crashed into the outside wall. 9 drivers was involved in that crash. So, Eric hitting the wall was Jeffrey Earnhardt's fault, because if he hadn't crashes into Eric's car, they both could have avoided hitting the wall. The Earnhardts are caused too many wrecks in NASCAR, two of them were fatal.
It was Geoff, you’re correct. And that Daytona crash was absolutely brutal. I saw that for the first time as a kid (it happened a few months before I was born) and even though I knew he was okay because I’d seen him racing in Cup I still couldn’t believe that he wasn’t more severely injured.
Austin Dillons crash where he just stopped and Elliott Sadler at Pocono...... ouch. I miss the element of danger in racing these days. Miss the concrete walls. Not saying I want anyone hurt but it made the drivers seem more like super heroes at times.
Jiimmy Horton Talladega over the wall flip and not 'Real" nascar race but Larry Pearson and Charlie Glotzbach 2010 Bristol Crash are other Scary Crashes
@@iamnothuman77dartdontlie66 yes it was..never actually watched the race..only saw that crash in nascar crash videos and remembered how vicious it looked
@@chrisvandenberghe1400 same here that happened a couple years before i got into nascar but i always see it in comps. scary how deep the big ass sent in the side of that car was. what were his injuries?
And to think there are men in this sport who had major wrecks before Earnhardt that were a lot worse and a higher impact and yet they walk away with minor injuries so that makes Earnhardt's wreck a little questionable and sketchy
It was the time it occurred. Hans devices were not mandatory at that time, on top of a concrete wall. Pretty scary during those times (it was also about a month after Adam Petty)
That Michael Waltrip wreck was freaking insane. To this day, I think it's a miracle he came away from that one intact.
Crazy that him and Harmon survived that same crash.. still imo that bodine truck crash into the fence is still my scariest
The older the crash the more of a miracle it is because the less padding and protection they have from the impact

... The McClure wreck. 😢💔🙏
Still hurts knowing what that wreck did to him, & the harsh effects & pain he struggled through for so long.
Hello again!
Jeff Fuller essentially sacrificed himself _(Not literally but you get my point)_ to spare Jason Leffler.
The Leffler fan of my old racing group still hasn't forgotten that.
yeah bc had he hit leffler chances are would be career ending or worse
He hit so hard he damaged the other side of his car.
RIP Eric McClure

Geoff(?) Bodine’s truck crash was scary af, how was it not on here?

@@gabepollock1641 Geoff Bodine came back to Daytona 2 years after his destructive crash and finished 3rd in the Daytona 500
It's on part 2
0:20 Largely forgotten crash.
Those Elliot Sadler and Michael Waltrip hits were super savage.
I was there for the Michael Waltrip wreck. No one expected him to walk away from that crash.
Eric McClures crash still hurts me to my bones.
Austin Dillons crash where he just stopped and Elliott Sadler at Pocono...... ouch. I miss the element of danger in racing these days. Miss the concrete walls. Not saying I want anyone hurt but it made the drivers seem more like super heroes at times.
Russell Phillips crash in 96? Nothing comes close to that, not even Waltrip and Mike Harmons crashes at Bristol
Yeah but he died
Can I throw Geoff bodine Daytona truck and Horton roll over dega wall in to it?
Jiimmy Horton Talladega over the wall flip and not 'Real" nascar race but Larry Pearson and Charlie Glotzbach 2010 Bristol Crash are other Scary Crashes
that was the legends race where one of them got tboned right?

So many of these wrecks resulted in rule changes.
It's kinda shocking to hear comes to rest
Michael Waltrip's wreck was scary. God had his hands on Michael.
Poor Sadler 0:52
I was at the 2020 Newman accident
0:05 😨
Ryan newman’s crash is horrible
Guy's none of the wrecks are fatal
7:32 we’ve seen a wreck like that before
6:25 how was that scary
8:19 we’ve seen wrecks like that for awhile now still not scary
It was the time it occurred. Hans devices were not mandatory at that time, on top of a concrete wall. Pretty scary during those times (it was also about a month after Adam Petty)
2:27 that wasn’t scary also but I was worried that night
Me to
Some of theses crashes weren’t scary
Larsons car went nuts
