I live in Florida.... I can't blame Nascar on this one Florida weather in August and September is unpredictable. It can be blue skies and still rain 🌧️ no clouds
Started raining a split second before wreck. No way to predict or stop that. Except of couse GO BACK TO JULY 4TH!!! Yeah, Floridas notorious for pop up rain but, alot more likely in August than early July
@@PYLrulz1984 But that's not how the rules work. The rain has to be coming down for them to red flag the race. It can be as threatening as it needs to be until the rain drops start coming down.
This was the craziest race of the season, everyone was going for broke. This is the racing I love. I mean everyone wrecking ruined my drivers chances of winning, but i loved that everyone was going for the win!
@@TheeGamer360 The field was "Brisoce'd". Ha! yes, you are right! It's a bad habit. I liked the one though at Bristol that Kyle Busch sneaked in to win after a "Briscoe"...but I'm a Kyle Busch fan..lol
You ever been to Florida? It can be sunny and the sky just drops if you watched the whole vid you would’ve seen that it’s dry then it’s wet all of a sudden
Remember a truck race a few years back that was the same way. Spoiler alert: one of them eventually did. I just can’t remember if it was Christopher Bell in 2016, or Matt Crafton in 2017.
I don’t exactly see how you can blame NASCAR for this, the track was dry the lap before and they were at the start/finish line when spotters said it started raining, it’s just a bad situation
I don't like that Blaney, who's fifth in points, won't make the Chase. I don't like that Dillon, who just got his lap back, will make the race. Skill should count for something. Maybe instead of win and you're in, it should be wins are worth a much more significant number of points. If a drive finishes second every race they should not lose to a driver that finishes first once.
@@Mr_Dopey Nascar might have some rule book to change rules due to odd situation and put 2 more drivers or 4 more into the playoffs because of this situation happening and it can b argued its Nascars fault so they can iron things out by adding 4 more cars to the playoffs
@@pestfakeprophetmohammedrap6136 Austin Dillon was a loser until the ENTIRE field crashed. He was just a lap down at 18th in points. Now he's in the playoffs. Ryan Blaney was consistently top five all year long and is 5th in points. Now he's out of the playoffs. Now do you really think Dillon will make it to the second round of the playoffs? It seems like a wasted spot.
@@Kartkid024 you’re right I was sitting at that end of the stands. Like 10 rain drops hit me simultaneously as the leaders were crossing the start/finish line. My buddy and I looked at each other like oh no…then boom 💥 seconds later. I think we all knew it was coming but no one knew where or when. I thought it was going to rain over on 3-4 first.
#11, #99 and #31 skid without anyone touching them... It was clearly the rain. A lot of water suddenly... The temperature of the track was not enough to evaporate it.
Unpopular opinion, maybe, but I think if the New Hampshire crash/starting the race in the rain didn’t happen last year, people wouldn’t be half as mad about this one.
What a joke. NASCAR can't be bothered to come up with some way to make sure its not raining on different parts of the track. All it takes is a guy outside the wall with radio every few hundred yards or even inexpensive rain detectors on days where rain is a threat, but no endangering the lives of drivers and costing teams thousands of dollars in wrecked cars is clearly the better option.
Me and my family was sitting in the UNOH zone and I got the full wreck on video but sadly my fav driver Joey was Tolkien out by Justin Haley and his dumb blocking
I would like to mention. As a lifelong NASCAR fan, I have always found these big ones entertaining, but I always hope that everyone is safe. I think these big wrecks add to a race, but only if everyone is safe. I don’t like a race with too many cautions for a single car spinning out or hitting the wall, but I don’t like a race with too many cautions. But again, I always hope everyone is safe, I’m glad the cars are a lot safer now, I just wish that the stage racing wasn’t a thing, or didn’t cause a yellow flag because it stops the progress of a race of no reason. Also, the weather in Florida might be crazy, but Virginia might be crazier. It could rain and be 85 one day, and snow at 30 degrees the next
NASCAR needs to be held accountable on this. TV broadcast clearly showed a large cell just off the track that was pouring in the distance maybe less than a mile away on the restart. They should have kept it yellow until it passed. Thank God nobody was seriously injured.
Millions of dollars in this sport, and they can't tell if its raining on the track. Its the spectators that lose in this situation cuz everyone from mech to corporate still get paid but the fans of the leading cars lose.
This race has been far from boring theres so many leader changes between people who r in a must win scenario 😭😭 and i hate the playoffs i think they’re horrible but i will say drivers are giving it their all for this race
They should not have gone green on the last restart. The rain was so close and it's way too dangerous to have these cars at this track with rain that close.
At the time the caution flag came out Austin Dillon was not in the lead Austin was one of the few cars that made it through unscathed. Morons in the broadcast booth have said nothing about that
I was listening to this race on the radio. I've watched NASCAR since the 60's, the radio announcer yelled something I've never heard in my life "EVERY CAR IS INVOLVED". I thought what?
I know I'm a crazy head case, but listen to this. What if NASCAR is buying every team member a car once in awhile, like today, and they knew rain was expected, yet there's no spotters down there telling them that it's raining. And it was done on purpose. The fans love the accidents as long as no one gets hurt but they love seeing it it's the excitement and NASCAR knows that's exactly what brings it meaning the money. So it wouldn't surprise me if they spend a ton of money on a car for a couple races per year four or five races a year maybe let's just say and they don't necessarily plan on making an accident but they don't do anything to divert it such as not having a spotter or spotters down on every single part of that race track. There's no excuse for the drivers not to know it was raining none zero absolutely none. So whoever the spotters are and whoever the company is that has hired these spotters is in fact liable for all those race cars in my opinion. That's unacceptable that's why I don't believe it happened I think this was definitely done on purpose in hopes that a small accident would happen and I went a little farther than they wanted probably but these cars are so safe to get hurt in one of these cars would take a unbelievable accident to happen so that's my belief and I'm sticking to it
I totally agree!,It was always Known as The Firecracker 400!!!,Nascar is becoming Woke and Unpatriotic!!!,No Wonder the Sport is Struggling!!!,Going Woke,Makes You Broke!!!,and That Number 3 Should have been Permanently Retired when Dale Sr. was Killed!!!,and as far as the Outcome of this Race,Having The Big One,and a Simultaneous Downpour,and Just Pure Dumb Freaking Luck is The Only Way Austin Dillon can ever Visit Victory Lane as The Winning Driver!!!,This Guy is only Driving in Nascar,because He's Childress's Grandson!!!
Come on NASCAR get it together. You throw yellow flags for single car spins when the cars hit nothing and when it rains do nothing. Quit defending nascar. This is not the first time. You have to do better
That was doper than dope. The physics of the forces was just one big mass of momentum, force deflection and redirection, all acting a one safety net. I would be surprised if anyone got hurt here more than just their pride.
People criticizing Nascar u want them to stop racing b4 it starts raining or something? It just started massively pouring instantly instead of the usual small drops or medium drops of rain starting to fall how can u predict a bucket of rain starting to fall instead of the usual few drops n drizzle b4 the buckets of rain? 99% of the time or more when rain starts it starts with super light drops of rain not buckets of rain and few drops of light rain won't make a race car spin so it's fine to wait till water drops to call rain 99% of the time but idc wut the rules r I'm fine with changes to stopping races if we see dark clouds not here to argue
@@Nathan-ir4nr it didn't rain for 20 minutes in the back stretch after it poured on half the track. Back stretch had 0 drops of water for 30 minutes after the red flag
@@Nathan-ir4nr I as a weather literate person knew that rain was approaching but I don't expect Nascar managers who skipped school to be weather literate
And if it started pouring instantly on the finish line or anywhere else except the corner cars would be fine with the downpour on the backstretch maybe 1 nub would lose it at the finish line so it's also unlucky to have it start pouring mid corner, assuming they'll slow down b4 the corner to 120mph or less
1st Thing,That Number 3 shouldn't even be on the Side of a Nascar Race Car,unless an Earnhardt is behind The Wheel,and actually I don't even think Dale Jr. or any other Earnhardt should Drive a Number 3,that Number Should be Permanently Retired,Just Like Petty's 43 and Gordon's 24,and The Big One,and a Simultaneous Downpour,and also Just Pure Dumb Luck, are The Only Freaking Reason that Austin Dillion could ever Win a Nascar Race!!!
It's still Sunday and Daytona does have lights. They raced until one thirty in the morning on Saturday. To call the race any time in the next eight hours to me would be inexcusable. Too many drivers with a lot on the line.
I respectfully disagree. I never want to see Austin Dillon in victory lane, but I'm also not too giddy over the idea of waiting ten hours to watch three to five cars without damage run 20 laps.
@@bookersdebt4109 Booker I like different points of view. To me NASCAR owes it to the owners, drivers, and fans who want to see a checkered flag. Five cars with no damage has a chance to make the playoffs. Just don't think it's fair to take that away from them.
I was there it was raining hard asf before that wreck happened shame on nascar for not throwing the caution that was bullshit it had been sprinkling for 2-3 minutes then it poured the rain as they were coming down the front
Should not have been green. Nascar should have to reimburse the car owners the cost of all the cars damaged and destoryed in this crash. This was a nascar produced crashfest at it's best.
The race it self was amazing best Daytona race in a long time just the coverage was horrible! Really you all couldn’t post due to weather in the area coverage has been delayed? Everything still said 7pm start
Nascar you screwed that up today. You where watching the radar you knew it was coming right at the track. Should've cautioned the lap or two before in anticipation of the coming storm. It didnt come out of no where. Even the tv broadcast kept showing it coming. Then to have that official come to the booth and say we did nothing wrong instead of admitting you screwed up the race made you look worse. It was disingenuous to the fans but also drivers and teams. As a big Chase Elliott fan i still watch you through all your recent woke dramas but I can see why youve lost some fan support. Youve definitely went downhill from what you where just a few years ago. Everyone makes mistakes. You should've just owned up to it.
Can all of you salty fans step back from your constant need to hate on NASCAR for once and look at the facts? I'm not saying NASCAR did nothing wrong, but that everyone seems to immediately jump to criticizing NASCAR before all the evidence comes out.
I was there when it happened Edit: I also live in Florida and I came down to the Daytona international speedway to see the nascar race in person for the very first time
How long did NASCAR wait to flip on the yellow light after the wreck started? It took the eventual winner Dillon 7 seconds to clear Buscher. I wonder if the rule book states you have to be pointed in the right direction in order to be scored.
Nascar can put 20 guys standing surrounding the track in a circle half mile away from the track to be the rain detecting humans and have a radio when it starts raining to instantly throw a yellow basically rain spotters so 4 guys will be spread out south of the track 4 guys east 4 guys north 4 guys west half a mile or mile from the track waiting till confirmed rain drops r imminently about to hit the track in 10 or 20 seconds n radio it in

It didnt come out of no where. Even the tv broadcast kept showing it coming. Then to have that official come to the booth and say we did nothing wrong instead of admitting you screwed up the race made you look worse. It was disingenuous to the fans but also drivers and teams. As a big Chase Elliott fan i still watch you through all your recent woke dramas but I can see why youve lost some fan support. Youve definitely went downhill from what you where just a few years ago. Everyone makes mistakes. You should've just owned up to it.
You don't live on Florida. It was a rain shower that just popped up in turn one and no one could tell until they arrived there.
Can all of you salty fans step back from your constant need to hate on NASCAR for once and look at the facts? I'm not saying NASCAR did nothing wrong, but that everyone seems to immediately jump to criticizing NASCAR before all the evidence comes out.
😭😭
I was there when it happened
Edit: I also live in Florida and I came down to the Daytona international speedway to see the nascar race in person for the very first time
All that and it’s still boring compared to 25 years ago
As far as I could count, 18 CARS were collected in this wreck.
NBC SUCKS!!!! CNBC ?? Like theirs more important shows playing on NBC or USA????? This is BS!!
golf and soccer/football is more important than motorsports to all networks.
How long did NASCAR wait to flip on the yellow light after the wreck started? It took the eventual winner Dillon 7 seconds to clear Buscher. I wonder if the rule book states you have to be pointed in the right direction in order to be scored.
Nascar can put 20 guys standing surrounding the track in a circle half mile away from the track to be the rain detecting humans and have a radio when it starts raining to instantly throw a yellow basically rain spotters so 4 guys will be spread out south of the track 4 guys east 4 guys north 4 guys west half a mile or mile from the track waiting till confirmed rain drops r imminently about to hit the track in 10 or 20 seconds n radio it in
