    ERRORS NOTICED:
    - Ricky Rudd was Accident 10. The zero did not render in production.
    - Harry Dinwiddie was not unhurt in the crash, he did suffer injury.
    - Delmar Clark suffered a concussion and broken finger.
    Also, I know I showed racing at Talladega in the beginning. I do have footage of Daytona racing, but I preferred the angle I had with the Talladega shots.

    How Phil Finney survived that wreck is amazing to me. The whole frame of that car was bent into an "L" shape

    I talked to Randy Lajoie. A couple years ago. I asked him about that wreck. He said he left the hospital to go to the Bahamas. Said he didn’t remember any of the trip.

    Daytona has always had some very brutal wrecks from slmost the get go. Think the absolute worst has to be that of Modified Star Don McTavish. Randy Lajoie's terrible bottom side impact with the inside 4th turn wall was just crazy. Bet there wasn't a part on that car that wasn't broke or bent. And Randy being able to survive tells you how tough he is and was. Glad all these guys lived to maybe race again. Thanks for the video.

    At 12:00 - watching this tape, I'm reminded of Darrell Waltrip being nicknamed "Jaws" for his loose comments.

    As I recall, I don't remember what year, Harry Gant hit that inside wall and it sounded like a cannon. But, at my age, my memory changes each day.

    Wow, after all the accidents, no one even thought of designing this dangerous wall differently so that the cars couldn't be thrown back onto the track? Good job done .... not!

    1:44 This footage is early video, not film. The image is the best it can be, using sunlight vs. studio lighting. I was impressed at the clarity and then I thought of the sunlight advantage. I think it's also been enhanced by modern stuff I don't want to get in to, but really great early video footage.

    Two things. I remember watching the IROC series, on the promo there was a crash I thought it was at Daytona with someone hitting a mound of Dirt and flipping. Of all the crashes nobody took out the Union 76 sign on the corner of pit in.

    There is much better footage of Delmar Clark's crash on the internet that shows the full incident. The only place I've seen it was in some random crash compilation somewhere.

    Nascar has sucked since the late 80's. Like a traffic jam of Skittles on the track. Boring! Even the road course races aren't entertaining anymore.

    Daytona and Indy both had inside walls that turned into 90 degree head-ons when cars spun off of turn 4. All of these wrecks at Daytona and the wall Dave McDonald hit at Indy in 1964 to start that inferno that killed McDonald and Eddie Sachs. Fortunately both of these walls at both tracks have been fixed to run parallel to the track. What he heck were they thinking when the built those walls originally.
