You? I helped build that car. Then the next day I took it to it's final resting place, in the Museum at Talladega. But boy was that car running. Sounded great, even from pit road. The car was snake bit at Daytona. In '92 it got hit while picking up speed on the apron during practice when some one wrecked and slid down into it. In '93 it made one lap in the race when there was a big wreck in 3 and 4. As our driver got slowed down a car against the wall slid down and hit our car in the side. There was some much water and oil on the track he couldn't turn to miss him. Then this in '94...Hard to believe that was over 30 years ago now.
@@CorrosionFn According to legend, Neil Bonnett has advised Andy Farr (The driver in the flip) of a safety improvement to his car. The safety improvement is crediting in saving Andy in this crash & protecting him from any harm. Later that day Andy went to find Neil to thank him for the safety improvement... only to find out Neil was killed in a crash of his own.
Not quite,. Neil had started that.We saw that during the open test on a couple of cars down there in Dec. or Jan. Even though he was working for NASCAR was asked Gary Nelson to take look at our car and see if there was something we could improve on. He had mentioned that our shoulder harness wouldn't have been allowed in NASCAR. Not because of not having a sternum buckle, it was something else. The day we got home Charlie, the owner, came home from work with new belts with the sternum buckle, even though the ones we had were brand new. Andy's brother, Scott and I had the seat and belts in and out of the car about eight times to get everything exactly right. I mounted the shoulder harness the way I mounted mine in my car because I had issues with the feeling that they were always going to slide off my shoulders. They kept Andy overnight for observation, while there he wrote a letter to Neil, thanking him for introducing the sternum buckle to racing. Even though the buckle did cause a small crack his sternum, it was better than the alternative. The way they mount belts now make the sternum buckle redundant. Whether that letter was to be mailed, given, or just an outline of what he was going to say to him, I never asked. I didn't think of it that way. It was a letter, so I assumed it was going to be mailed. So I never asked.
They do, that's what usually gets them in trouble. Reaction for an inexperienced speedway driver IS to dump out of the throttle and hit the brakes, hat locks up the rear wheels.. Even just letting off the gas all at once can cause the same problem. You let of the gas now the rear wheels are trying to turn the engine over, instead of the engine turning the wheels. The compression in the engine can't "keep up" so the rear wheels almost lock up, and then any amount of brake DOES lock up the rear wheels, and then it's like driving on ice. That's what the ignorant call "ARCA brakes".
That second clip is the definition of ARCA brakes my goodness!!
They perfectly simulated the NR2003 racing AI 😂
It was the last lap of the race, nobody was going to slow down for that...
So true lol😂
It's usually climbing all over the brakes is what causes the continuing of the wreck.
man the commentary in the first two clips is so great, the energy is unparalleled by today's booth
it's so funny how much worse it is in the newer clips as well, listening to the awkward pauses in fontaine's crash in 2017 makes me cringe
A very young Allen Bestwick. A fantastic commentator.
6:02 Nobody talks about the amazing save that one car made
7:51 makes my stomach absolutely curl.. wow.

2:59 Fun fact: This is thet most recent ARCA National Series flip still.
Just realized Holmes was at this race
The Don Marmor incident, Dr. Jerry Punch saved his life
Jerry Punch is basically NASCAR's equivalent of Sid Watkins
7:51 There is an interesting story about that crash that most people forget about.
What happened

SOMEONE MADE ONE FINALLY
That first one was scary and crazy glad he was ok
I'd also suggest the 1996 Bob Hill crash at Daytona, that was pretty severe.
Hi
@@jhenzo Hey Genzo
2:17 is just like Talladega's crash 😦😦😦😦😦😦
I do miss the old arca because the arca we have now is kinda stale but I see why they changed a lot of things in the series
At what cost though? Nowadays ARCA is lucky if they get more than 15 cars starting a race, let alone finishing
For a moment I thought the first clip had a more modern commentary clip edited in lol
Wow i’ve never see that first angle of the 2005 Daytona Crash
I like the pancake episode. Lol
What’s the first race?
The Nascar and F1 driver raced in ARCA. Its Chris Buescher, Nascar driver, and Logan Sargeant, F1 driver
ITS ARCA NIGHT IN AMERICA
Didn't see Delmar Clark '82 or Ramo Stott '90 here.
Arca Brakes Speculator Crash At Daytona
Why do these arca drivers not know how to hit the brakes

@@DDS029 no I’m talking about the times where there’s a wreck and then 10 seconds later someone nowhere near the wreck just barrels in
Mark Thompsons landing always makes me cringe
