Damn....and he pulled through?!?


Safety measures must of advanced ten fold after the dale earnhardt incident.



Glad he made it

I've mentioned in the few Nascar threads that assist on here that I watched that race and saw the crash... I thought it was nothing and turned to watch basketball or something. When I heard he died I was like

Same here, i remember watching it live too

Weird thing is, I've always expected dudes to walk away from crashes after I saw dude survive this one in a truck race at Daytona:



I was convinced I had just watched someone die

There was barely enough vehicle left to fit a person inside it by the time that shyt was over.

It's a damn near miracle there aren't more deaths on the track. I'm not sure what the difference in framework is between these cars and cars on the road but it's amazing. Going 170mph into a wall, flipping in the air, getting hit by another car going 170mph directly into the driver's side, sliding 150mph on the roof engulfed in flames and brehs leaving the hospital the same night like....

" aye, when can you have the car ready?

People like,
"Dale died!!? We MUST improve the safety of these cars."
And now they can crash at 200mph and explode midair and everyone's good.
3,500 people die every day in America in car crashes.
What's the ETA on getting me some of those Dale safety regs in my Corolla?

There is a shocking amount of sympathy in this thread

Why wouldn't there be

I'm really glad he survived and that his injuries are not life threatening, but as a Kansan seeing anything with the Koch brand on it get fukked up warms my heard.

 

[old pig]

wow...heard about this and that he survived but I didn’t see the crash @ the time...idk how the hell he made it thru that

Announcer called the shyt like it was a movie

Not gonna lie.. that shyt was exciting AF. I don’t care about Nascar at all but I watched this shyt a bunch of times. I also live in a big nascar area so people here was making this crash a big deal. Newman’s race team(Roush Fenway) is based in my area and we went out to do a report on this crash. Two guys came over and left flowers and stuff.. people thought dude was dead for sure. I don’t know how he survived that but good for him.

I lived in Daytona during college. It was a whole entire day of cars going round in the circles. You'd hear the engines going a whole day.
Bike week was the Same. The sound of Harleys at every corner

Dale Earnhardt's crash that killed him look like nothing compared to this crash.

Earlier in that race where Earnhardt died, Tony Stewart's car went flying into the air like Superman.



Dale barely missed the wreck as you can see, and reportedly said to his crew chief after the wreck, "If they don't do something about this then someone is going to get killed."

I always wondered how Richard Petty survived this:

Why wouldn't there be

There's a few Coli go-to phrases I expected to hear that I didn't

He LIVED!?!?!!

I’ve driven at Atlanta Motor Speedway maybe 5x, all in a street car, and it will put fear in your heart going through the oval. The highest I got up to was about 130, and I was good.

This isn’t like weaving your piece of shyt through traffic. At 200mph in a pack of cars is a totally different skill level.

Anyone saying racing isn’t a sport is an idiot. Its one of the oldest sports in existence.
