That came very, very close to being another 1955 Le Mans disaster. Shows how much catch fences have improved, Austin Dillon's flip in 2015 would've been a disaster with 1980's fencing.

It is the world's most deadliest racing disaster
I straight up thought that guy died in the beginning and i was like "this narrators tone sounds too excited... also, wtf is this doing in my feed at 10 pm"
I have seen this many times and always think 2 things: First, it is amazing that nobody was killed in the stands. And second, the #28 Havoline T-Bird is one of the best (if not the best) looking race cars of modern times.
Especially in that he saw it coming, was able to identify what it was, and already knew the consequences. When these guys are running at those speeds, the constant high adrenaline level has got their brain running like an overclocked CPU.
The ONLY thing that stopped it from being Le Mans was that bump into the wall just before it went into the fence. That one smack started the car spinning the other direction and sucked a boatload of energy out of the wreck. If it hadn't the care would've continued on a upward trajectory, and when it got to the grandstands it would've basically become a 3000lb frisbee. And could've definitely injured more than 100 people with a lot of those being deaths.
TyVulpintaur And Formula One was MUCH worse: I have forgotten the number of drivers who were killed in Grand Prix races from 1961 to 1976, but it seemed as if three drivers lost their lives in Grand Prix every year before the new crop of team owners started to demand that Formula One get serious about safety in the sport. Thank God that the Grand Prix carnage was nowhere near that bad in NASCAR.
Catch fence did exactly what it was designed to do. Instead of fearing "the end of racing in America as we know it" be glad the safety features of the circuit worked. You're never going to stop all the small shrapnel getting through the fence and causing minor injuries potentially, or they need to make ballistic glass barriers too between the catch fence and the crowd to catch the small debris.
The way they're screening off MLB parks nowadays because of safety concerns, I wouldn't be surprised to see NASCAR follow suit with just that, glass barriers like at hockey games
lets argue about how the US government has massacred thousands of their civilians in 9/11 by funding the terrorist group alqaeda with CIA weapons and training. because a "free" government can do this and then use their liberal news organizations they fund as well to downplay the incident, feed lies to the people, and then cause more controversy by throwing american soldiers at CIA funded terrorists, two sides of the same coin and they're fighting one another. we need to go against the government.
31 years later, I had the opportunity to meet Bobby at Huck Finn's Catfish in Pigeon Forge. He ended up joining me and the guys for dinner and told us some amazing stories, including details from this crash! What an amazing individual!
What an awesome era of NASCAR! So glad to have been apart of it. I was setting lower section just pass the dogleg with my dad, what a great memory. Thought for sure from my view that Harold Kinder was gone, thank god things turned out the way they did 👍
Well, I actually love NASCAR and got recommended this like everyone else. To make a long story short, they introduced Restrictor Plates at SuperSpeedways. This invention allowed top speeds to be limited(a.k.a. slower) and made for better competition. Instead of cars being able to do 210+ mph without drafting, now the max speed is about 200 with drafting. NASCAR has gotten slower throughout time, same with IndyCar. Most taving sports are slower or cars use less power than they used too. F1 cars are slower yet run faster times due to technology improvements.
F1 is faster than it's ever been. The current generation of cars hold all the F1 records for top speeds, even on tracks which should be much slower on time and straights speed. What you're likely thinking of is the end of ground effect, which was allowing cars to pull more Gee's in a corner than even the current cars. That and the change from 1.5L turbos producing 1400hp in qualification boost, to 3.5L NA engines, making ~650-700 HP. But better engineering and areo development have since regained 1000 HP engines and 5 or 6 Gee cornering loads. At least, for now. 2022 regs will pare it back down to sensible levels of crazy.
@@wyattroncin941 You are 100% right! Technological advancements have made the cars much more efficient for lap times. The days of high power though are gone but then again they were destroying qualifying engines after a few laps so whats the point. Still my favorite F1's are 80's-Early 2000's. I cannot deal with the vacuum sound of today. V10 era probably had the best sounds ever. There was actually a V8 era in IndyCar and Car too it was hilarious. They sounded like NASCAR. I'd rather have that than today as well. But technology and safety of today is definitely worth it.
I’m a 31 year old guy in North Wales, UK that has zero interest in NASCAR and has no idea what it’s all about. UA-cam: Recommend him this. He’ll love it.
Remember when that happened. Had that car got into the stands, it would have been an American "Le Mans Disaster" which happened about 30 years before. That shut down racing in many European countries (Switzerland still bans motorsports)
+Zoomer30 You're right, but if that car, or heavy parts of it like the engine, transmission or back axle had been torn away and went into the crowd I suspect the death toll would have massively exceeded Le Mans. Those cars were simply too fast for the levels of safety at that time, and clearly too fast for the tyres. At those speeds the cars were pretty much unguided missiles and ANY small incident had a massive potential to turn into a complete catastrophe for multiple drivers, safety personnel and countless spectators. There was no way a driver could be reasonably expected to catch a wayward stock car at upwards of 210mph and if they did it had everything to do with the speed of their reactions and how lucky they were that day. As for the safety of the drivers, well, they said in the film that the drivers were saying the cars were too fast for safety and for a race driver to say that then you know things are really bad as race drivers never have enough speed. Everyone knows that NASCAR safety has never been cutting-edge which has certainly contributed to the deaths of many drivers but in these cars those sorts of speeds must have been pretty much like playing Russian roulette with five rounds in the gun. I'm surprised that Bobby Allison survived this, let alone walked away. If they hadn't brought in restrictor plates for the super speedways then the list of drivers who died in competition would be a whole lot longer than it is, and it's already way too long...
OMG you win the internet for that one !!! PERFECT ! I am just real glad I didn't have any drink in my mouth when I read it because I burst out laughing !!
This was the reason I am a NASCAR fan for life... Not because of the wreck, but how the spent HOURS fixing the fence so that they could get back to racing. One of the first years that ESPN aired entire races.
Anyone else look this up after seeing that video of a security guy standing super close to the fence and then scrolling to the comment section and people saying he obviously hasn’t seen this crash before?
NASCAR changed when Dale Earnhardt died and it was subsequently ruined by the over-commercialization and ridiculous coverage of FOX in the midst of the 08 recession. It has never recovered. Its a different sport now. I rarely watch. NASCAR was also harmed when it caved to political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor.
The "political pressure that led to the removal of Winston as a sponsor" was applied to RJR, not to NASCAR. The Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement prohibits tobacco companies from sponsoring sports.
Watched this live and remember it like it was 10 seconds ago. Bob Jenkins summed it up perfectly with "Bobby Allison with a horrible crash". And the right rear tire wasn't the cause. It was lap 20...he was running his qualifying motor and it just gave up. Several con rods snapped breaking the crankshaft which then launched itself down thru the oil pan, onto the track, severed the driveshaft and mayhem ensued. The driveshaft struck Waltrip's windshield coming within inches of killing him.
Realistically, it wasn't the speed that caused this crash, it was the lack of roof flaps, which weren't added until the mid 90's. If he had roof flaps, the car would have stayed on the ground.
Yeah but what caused it in the first place was the tire blowing due to the high speeds, yes he probably wouldn't go in the fence with flaps, but he still would have blown a tire.

Our machine shop instructor Frank Howton knew all the Alabama gang and they would come by the class/shop ever so often. How cool to meet your hero's and their kids who were about the same age ! Bobby Allison is one of the greatest and strongest men alive Hall of Fame. Donny was a great driver and Red Farmer is simply the man of steel.
I remember watching this live on ESPN, it was weird in a sense that you watching the crash as it was happening, but not quite believing what you were seeing. All can say is thank the good Lord that the catch fence did it's job and kept Allisons car from flying into the stands that day.
Greg ok then tell me some of the lies after lies and tell me why he’s a racist, cause he doesn’t like a bunch of dangerous illegal drugs in our country? Or he doesn’t like a group that is literally destroying his country?
Greg and you talking about traitors like that, Hillary Clinton is being tried for treason and child sex trafficking. Antifa and BLM are traitors, and the places like chaz I can’t remember what they’re called exactly but they’re being run by democrats, and that’s the literal definition of being traitors
I was (still am) a huge Davey Allison fan. I was elated when he won the first race of his career, but saddened when Bobby's career was shortened at Pocono.
Why can’t all the people arguing in the comments about which is better just respect and appreciate both NASCAR and F1 respectively? They’re both great it doesn’t have to be a contest
This was my first NASCAR race me and my now ex wife of 29 years went to at the age of 24 ,and being a extremely big NASCAR fan it literally blew my mind ,the day before a hood came off.a ARCA car and came down in the Anniston grandstand and unbelievably didn't hurt anyone ,How I will never know but that weekend gave me a whole new perspective on Racing at those speeds . I've been back to Talladega 19 times and never witnessed the kind of things I did on my 1st trip thank GOD for saving all those race fans And the very special Bobby Allison.

Cars still flip like that these days it's just much less likely .

Yeah but what caused it in the first place was the tire blowing due to the high speeds, yes he probably wouldn't go in the fence with flaps, but he still would have blown a tire.

Mercedes didn't race for how long? Lol...wrong facts there
And also the year: 80s vs 50s safety changed in the years
0:37 I actually thought that my phone ran out of charge
Me to XDDDDDDDD
I remember watching this live on ESPN, it was weird in a sense that you watching the crash as it was happening, but not quite believing what you were seeing. All can say is thank the good Lord that the catch fence did it's job and kept Allisons car from flying into the stands that day.
Hello everyone, we are reunited again. See you all in 7 years.

Me: Why?
UA-cam: Why not?
This was when racing was worth watching. I miss those days!
Greg dude you need to calm your gregsticles, and what does trump have to do with this?
Greg ok then tell me some of the lies after lies and tell me why he’s a racist, cause he doesn’t like a bunch of dangerous illegal drugs in our country? Or he doesn’t like a group that is literally destroying his country?
Greg and if trump is such a racist, then why did he officially declare Juneteenth a holiday, but Obama didn’t? Funny huh
Greg and you talking about traitors like that, Hillary Clinton is being tried for treason and child sex trafficking. Antifa and BLM are traitors, and the places like chaz I can’t remember what they’re called exactly but they’re being run by democrats, and that’s the literal definition of being traitors
I was (still am) a huge Davey Allison fan. I was elated when he won the first race of his career, but saddened when Bobby's career was shortened at Pocono.
Good job UA-cam recommending me this. UA-cam is smart.
R.I.P Davy, Clifford and Judy Allison.
UA-cam recommends the best things
I mean, I was bored so UA-cam did come in clutch
Leader of Elite lol
Why can’t all the people arguing in the comments about which is better just respect and appreciate both NASCAR and F1 respectively? They’re both great it doesn’t have to be a contest
Everyone just got recommended this, i see comments from 1 min ago
You’ll never see stands that full again
I seen that...they were arm to arm packed
See you all again in 3 years
All those names bring back fond memories of times with my dad. I really miss those people.
Today is Christmas, what do you recommend UA-cam: A NASCAR almost flying into a crowd of people.
Me: Dunno why, but sure.
NASCAR is the name of the sport, the cars that they use to race are called stock cars.
As bad as that was those years of the 80s were the best years for nascar when racing was real.
Welcome to UA-cam recommending 6+ years old videos
HAHAHAHAHHA lmao
yes
Hmm, no I just search "Richard Petty crash." and I found this
This was my first NASCAR race me and my now ex wife of 29 years went to at the age of 24 ,and being a extremely big NASCAR fan it literally blew my mind ,the day before a hood came off.a ARCA car and came down in the Anniston grandstand and unbelievably didn't hurt anyone ,How I will never know but that weekend gave me a whole new perspective on Racing at those speeds . I've been back to Talladega 19 times and never witnessed the kind of things I did on my 1st trip thank GOD for saving all those race fans And the very special Bobby Allison.
Wow that’s crazy!
NASCAR will never see stands this full again.
