Jarrett's hit at the 98 California 500 qualifying session I reckon is probably the hardest hit he ever took in qualifying! Yes, I figured in the 96 Pocono wreck where he tore his knee to hell plus the 01 Coca Cola 600 crash when he broke some ribs.
For as many driver side hits these guys used to have back in the 90's and early 2000's, it's really a wonder to me that more drivers didn't die or receive career ending head injuries since they didn't have a head rest on the the left side of their head.
+Zach Carlson funny you mention that. The robby Gordon crash was nearly fatal. His helmet was cracked down the side and it scrambled his brain quite a bit. Could have easily been another John Nemechek.
"WOAH HE'S GONE" Casey Atwood's career in a nutshell
Well, he's at least won some races before.

The 49 Advil paint scheme was one of my favourites
Never seen the Randy Briggs at Las Vegas incident, good one.
Cope in that 49 was just...cursed.
Randy Briggs wasn't really good at qualifying, was he?
Briggs' paint scheme belonged in 2000, has a look that it was meant to run that season instead of 2004.
Not to mention that the car is from 2000
Sounds like the second incident broke something in the back end 😅

@@de31168 might explain some Robby Gordon antics of the 2000s. But yeah some of these hits are vicious.
Randy Briggs sure did wreck in qualifying a lot lol
Poor Randy Briggs
Never heard of Randy Briggs but man he wrecked A LOT in qualifying
Dayum that 85 car I feel bad
California Speedway was a loose race track back in the day.
Chevyblock 550 it still is today
What were Robby Gordon’s injuries
he just sucked in general.... lack of ability if I were to diagnose...
Dude r u nuts? Robby is on of the greatest drivers. Maybe not in nascar but hes not bad 🤷🏻♂️
Skull fracture (possibly)
Broken left leg
and a concussion
