Richard Petty suffers one of the worst accidents in his NASCAR career during the 1970 Rebel 400 at Darlington. Petty dislocated his shoulder in the accident.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Petty at the old Riverside, CA. race track back in I believe 1981, he was a very down to earth person, I have alot of respect for that man, they don't come any tougher than him.
The emergency room footage is from the movie "43: The Petty Story", which was filmed around this time. I'm sure they wouldn't REALLY have cameras in the hospital, especially in those days.
This clip combines the original ABC television broadcast (which I believe was taped, edited, and aired later that day) with filmed footage (maybe a local TV station shooting film for the 6 P.M. local news??) which had a better view of the crash than any of ABC's cameras.
I saw this live on tv in the day room of the barracks when I was in the service. Pretty scary to see him half out of the car like that. I was a mediocre Nascar fan even back then and knew that Petty was a big big name in the racing business. I was stationed in the south and regret no taking in some races back when it was really racing with real race cars instead of the cookie cutter cars and weenie drivers they peddle nowadays.

check out the ohio state patrol public service ad from 1963 you see the guy's face is nothing short of messed-up strawberry & rhubarb pie. And we thought the old days were innocent? no censors on this PSA & today they censor a dead body perfectly intact with no injuries, what gives? folks should be allowed to show their kids what happens when you drive too fast. Kids are too protected today & they will be spoon-feeding us at the home one day...not looking forward to that.
If this had happened in the 1950s he would have been dead, if it had happened in the 2010s he would have crawled out no problem and been sore the next day.
If I were Richard Petty, I would have retired after that one. But, he didn't. He went on to be the King we all know and love. The wreck at Daytona scared me about as much as this one. He was much older, and going faster, and then after flipping all of those times and coming to rest on the straight, he was broadsided by another car going about 120 mph! Mr. Petty will always be one of the greats, if not the greatest in this sport.
Mike Hanson no that is when NASCAR started there were no safety nets at that time. The reason they added nets to cars after this race was because his arm flew out the window and they got scared and wanted that to never happen again.
EclecticHillbilly WOW!! WHAT A CRASH!! RICHARD PETTY HANDS DOWN; ONE OF THE LUCKIEST RACE CAR DRIVERS EVER. Because he's had several of these kinds of wrecks. EXTREMELY LUCKY!
divisioneight One things that's overlooked is that the cars then were bigger than today's cars, with more interior room. A driver wasn't quite as close to things like door bars, etc, as they are today. The saying among drivers is "if you can touch it with your hand, you can hit it with your head .
TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEY HAD THE GREATEST SAFETY FEATURE OF THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---A RACING HARNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A GODDAMNN AIRBAG WOULD HAVE OPEN WHEN HE HIT THE WALL;--- TO LET HIM FLY-OUT WHEN THE CAR FLIPPED-BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM A SEAT-BELT WHERER SINCE 1968!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Zoomer30 Not directly. Joe Weatherly's accident at Riverside in '67 or '68 started the research into finding a solution to this. Dan Gurney's Wood Bros. Car in '69 (at Riverside) had a rudimentary steel mesh, with "quick" release, net. That's the first attempted I ever saw.
That accident fun fact, is the reason why they have window nets on the cars. If you look closely at the footage, you can see Richard's arm out the window. (That's what caused it to be dislocated, it hitting the asphalt) well over the couple weeks, Lynda made the first window net known to Nascar.
They have nets to keep the sudden lateral G forces in crashes from throwing the driver's head out of the window so it hits the wall like in Joe Weatherly's fatal crash at Riverside in 1964.
@@PaperBanjo64 probably because when he (Idk if this happens bc I didn't see his crash happen, only Earnhardt and Petty.) flips his car, the net will keep out Track Debris.
Richard Petty was and is a true racer, he retired when I was 2 but he's the real deal and the best of all time, he never whined, and you can tell he was taught to respect people and was happy go lucky, oh and he never threw things at people's cars and he didn't ever run over other drivers like Tony Stewart has and he didn't go around wrecking people and raced clean.. good ole boy with respect, character, class, and competitiveness all into one, which is what this sport is missing today. No wonder Petty liked Jeff Gordon he is the closest thing since
Petty's style definitely worked out for him, for sure. With 200 wins, and 7 Championships, and 18 years straight of getting at least one victory, he's definitely more than lived up to his reputation as "The King."
+OnLinE xD Well it was supposed to be but Richard had wrecked it in practice earlier. And the bird was the only car he had at the track that day so himself and Maurice had to haul ass home a get the Roadrunner you see crashing here. At the end of the day the King wrecked 2 cars and made no money, it was a bad day.
The angle saved him. Earnhardt had a head-on crash, all the energy went into his neck and head. All the energy in this crash went into crumpling and flipping the car over.
Only, Strip Weathers' crash wouldn't have been so brutal if he was just a driver driving a car, and not the car itself, because all he did was flip and roll. The real life Richard Petty had those hard impacts into the walls before that flip. It's those hard hits that actually scare me worse than flips, usually.
***** No, I meant back when racing was REALLY dangerous. Today we have all these advancements which are great, but back in the days you sat in you're car knowing that you have a chance of dieing. Today its just a chance of wrecking ( At worst body injuries )
@@BritishRailClass47 those are rags and liquid from 1970 Stock cars, to prevent the driver going all out doslocated head and flying body parts, those are rags
He was knocked out from the first hit so he didn't tense up on the next one. He said that he didn't remember hitting the inside wall. He was already knocked out.
I remember that accident. I was 7years old and a Petty fan and that was scary as hell. But he made it thank God. I was an Evel Knievel fan too! Oh the good old days!
It’s amazing he survived such a hard hit into a wall like that. But I makes me sad and kinda makes me wonder how Dale Sr. Died in that little crash into the wall 😔
Dale was going around 200 miles per hour, hit the wall at a hard angle and was hit by another car going around 200 mph, Petty wasn't going anywhere near that fast, but yes that was a brutal shot Richard took. Dales seat belt failed as well during his crash. Despite how it looked, the crash Dale took was way higher G's, and thats what matters more than anything else, especially during the pre-hans device era, something Dale refused to wear as they had been newly invented at the time. Its not how the wreck looks, the longer you watch racing the more you will sadly realize that.
I was there. I was was 13 years old. We lived in Columbia and Darlington was not a bad drive. Except on return, the traffic on Highway 401 (Lamar Highway) was terrible. I was with my father, uncle, and cousin. We watched the wreck from the infield. My father had put a platform on the rear of the truck and we were all watching from high above. We watched the wreck in front of us on the 4th turn (4th turn back then) and we all thought he had died in the crash. I remember praying so hard for Richard Petty. I remember being so happy hearing that he was going to be OK. I have been a fan of King Richard my entire life. Thanks for the memories, Richard Petty!
I’m listening to this and I’m just imagining The King from Car’s getting interviewed and tbh, I kinda wish a video like that was made. Richard Petty in ANY form is a legend.
Thank God Richard made it thru. Cars come apart for good reasons nowa days. Those were tanks with wings. I pray all racers return home safe and sound. Thank God for restrictor plates
I Met and talked with Richard before the 1972 Daytona 500, I owned a SUPERBIRD, so mainly talked about the vehicle and Dodge and Plymouth products in general, I was mostly a Pontiac owner, but people like Richard Petty, Sgt Bob Phillips of the Calif, Highway Patrol said Mopar was the way to go, Richard as someone has stated was and is a class act, we are about the same age, I wish him many more years.
This was their '70 Roadrunner which I believe was just a re-skinned '68 model. Of course he was in a Ford for '69 but most of those cars were built by Holman & Moody. Richard was in this car because he had already badly wrecked the Superbird in practice for the race. They took that back to Randleman and came back with this short track car. IF I heard correctly, this car was either cut-up or buried somewhere on the Petty property.
I would just about give anything to own that ambulance, not because Richard Petty rode in it but just because it's BadAss!!! Dam that thing Is Cool as the back side of the pillow!
There's actually a kind of slapstick humor to all this when you know everything after the fact. Everybody freaking because of all the red coming out from the cabin when it's just rags and then you got someone overzealous with a fire extinguisher when there wasn't a fire to begin with... Thank god he didn't die and lived on to have a damned good career or there wouldn't be any humor to this.
That was when it was stock car racing, meaning that the body, frame, engine and drive trains were stock, and you could buy the same car at a dealership with the same stock body, frame, engine and drive train. Now it is nascar, and all of the cars are clones, none of which are stock, and none that you can buy. I prefer the old way.

Tough and a man of character

That must've been an inspiration part for "Cars 1"...
Actually no, the wreck in cars 1 was inspired from Rusty Wallaces flip at Talladega in 1993
The dinoco from cars made me here
The car didn’t look like his Plymouth superbird, it almost looked like his Plymouth Belvedere
Good catch! 1970 Roadrunner.
These cars back then had like no safety in them so they would think that he might be hurt really bad
I am not coming in behind you again, Old Man!
The emergency room footage is from the movie "43: The Petty Story", which was filmed around this time. I'm sure they wouldn't REALLY have cameras in the hospital, especially in those days.
he might be my favourite character in car's and racecar driver my grandpa said he was amazing at racing
*I'M NOT COMING AGAIN FROM BEHIND YOU OLD MAN*
He is in cars 3
This clip combines the original ABC television broadcast (which I believe was taped, edited, and aired later that day) with filmed footage (maybe a local TV station shooting film for the 6 P.M. local news??) which had a better view of the crash than any of ABC's cameras.
The crash that led to the safety nets in the left window.
I saw this live on tv in the day room of the barracks when I was in the service. Pretty scary to see him half out of the car like that. I was a mediocre Nascar fan even back then and knew that Petty was a big big name in the racing business. I was stationed in the south and regret no taking in some races back when it was really racing with real race cars instead of the cookie cutter cars and weenie drivers they peddle nowadays.
Richard Petty the King of the Racers
Just like the cars film.
EDIT: I know by now it's different from the cars movie
Randomizer 6000 He is voiced by Richard Petty, the king is the #43 Superbird, and he is the best racer of all time
not even in the cars film the dinoco flew for a little
Philip Madewell nope. The cars film crash was inspired by rusty Wallace talladega crash
Philip Madewell "What are you doing, kid?"
"I think The King should finish his last race."
"You just gave up the Piston Cup, you know that?"
"Ah, this grumpy old race car I know once told me something: It's just an empty cup."

I spent an afternoon looking up videos for every wreck he had - I do not understand why this man is still alive.
i thought his insides were coming out
@@randomrandom8297 But now he’s alive, I’ve seen him in NASCAR xfinity.
If this had happened in the 1950s he would have been dead, if it had happened in the 2010s he would have crawled out no problem and been sore the next day.
And between 1998 and 2001 he'd probably be dead.
Yup bc the walls protecting the racers did not do nothing
Goodyear makes better tires than 1970, Petty wouldnt have hit the wall with todays tires.

This wreck is the reason the cars have window nets. They put them in just after this.

No crumple zones, no cushioned walls, no head restraints, just huge carbs, gas and guts. Amazing.
Isn't it strange to see how much NASCAR has changed since 1970?

They weren't guts they were red rags he would keep in his car
I think that once every year they should race with the old cars (with modern safety equipment) and just be like NASCAR used to be like!
Hotrod Hemi 60's and early 70's bodies on modern chassis just might raise diminishing attendance. Nascar is so boring lately

I've seen footage of this incident before, but your post was amazing. A real treasure. It was an accident that forever changed NASCAR.
Richard Petty is also known as the king due to his 200 NASCAR wins

Richard Petty and his Plymouth blew up like a powerbomb and Fred Heaton and Ward Burton hit Richard Petty head on.

Those were the true blue drivers and cars of nascar! Balls out with block engines! To generic now,but a whole lot safer. Can't get into it anymore.

Hey, I live in Florence near McLeod hospital!
Me too! My grandma used to be a nurse and she saw a few over at Carolina's as well the old one Bruce's. I'm headed out to the Lady this weekend!
There's actually a kind of slapstick humor to all this when you know everything after the fact. Everybody freaking because of all the red coming out from the cabin when it's just rags and then you got someone overzealous with a fire extinguisher when there wasn't a fire to begin with... Thank god he didn't die and lived on to have a damned good career or there wouldn't be any humor to this.
Hard as Nails.Much Respect.
My brain: Cars
The King
That was when it was stock car racing, meaning that the body, frame, engine and drive trains were stock, and you could buy the same car at a dealership with the same stock body, frame, engine and drive train.
Now it is nascar, and all of the cars are clones, none of which are stock, and none that you can buy. I prefer the old way.
