6:30
so he was in a coma for 11 years ??
Daytona seems a killer racetrack
Don Williams lived 10 years before dying
Like the music
My dad was at the Daytona 500 when Dale Sr got killed
Its February, not fenuary on Bruce Jacobi
Russell Phillips still to this day is the worst motorsport accident I have ever seen. I've researched it. It was gruesome.
i hate to see life lost on the track..but it looks like were about to lose the track also !
13:16 Dale Sr. Death
This music reminds me of halo
It’s amazing what kinetic energy can do… till this day I can’t believe that Dale Earnhardt died in that not so bad bump from the M&M car. I thought he would of climbed out of his car and walk away. Don’t worry Mr. Earnhardt your son is going to go back racing Berry should be not crashing on planes and walking away from there. Rest in peace Mr. Earnhardt you are truly missed.
Asterisk crashes car dies Asterisk
Isn’t that why people watch racing? To watch some Moron crash and burn? I do, it’s the best part!
5:12
that person in 8:42 looks like Steve from minecraft
Hubert’s death in F2 last week was equally irredeemable: high impact, car on car, one car stationary, impossibly lethal physics.
13:51 wtf
Don MacTavish…. Worst I've ever seen. I wonder how the chassis builder felt after seeing this ???
how did the car split in half at 2:50
Why do they always put shit music on these videos.
RIP Drivers????
How do you spell Atlanta wrong multiple times?
We could say. hE dIEd DoINg wHAt tHey loVED. But that doesn’t cut it. It’s not enough
The Carlos Pardo crash at 13:54 was brutal. Hardly anything left of the damn car
I remember seeing the Dale Earnhardt Snr crash on tv and thinking ''yeah he's fine''…then you realize how fast these guys are going and hitting a concrete barrier head on at those speeds can easily be fatal.
Turn off sound for best viewing experience…
Some of the most popular television shows nowadays are based around ghost hunting. All they would have to do is walk the grounds of Daytona at night and I'm sure they could hear and sense as much supernatural energy there as anywhere else in the world.
Too bad you couldnt get the original audio for some of the more recent crashes. Sad to see how many Nascar drivers lost their lives over the years. RIP GBNF
79-89=10 how that possible
how about Dean Roper?
Racing in circles makes you dizzy, stop.
5:48 fenurary
R.I.P J.D. McDuffie
stop at 0;15 you see a body
I'm puzzled over the Don Williams crash. We see a two-car wreck on a straightaway, just a little before the 5:10 mark. One rolls to a stop in the middle lane, and a couple of other trailing cars successfully negotiate his wreck, one racer being noticeably reddish in colour. The camera then pans left to face the second wreck, a bit lower on the course. You can see the one or two racers that passed the first car make their way around it, in particular the same red one from seconds earlier. But then around 5:14, a blue car comes from "out of nowhere", angles right into Car 2 and creams it in the rear end forcefully enough to ignite a startling explosion. Where did that vehicle come from? The camera panning left caught the movement of tte red car, but no blue one can be seen traveling that same stretch of track. Have I simply missed something here, or is anyone else also puzzled like me about where the blue car came from?
(If I'm not cogent here, it's only because I should be asleep right now.)

2:47 Bruuuuuuutal
What is this video, like 100p
The wreck with Carlos Pardo looked absolutely horrific. Why in the hell did they have that barricade set up that way?! …Tony Ropers and Earnhardts crashes looked so similar..
Some of these guys died years after their crashs
On the last crash I was 9 days old! The fuck!?
Don Williams 10yrs in coma & Rick Baldwin 11yrs. The families deserved better.
I imagined Thanos stabbing Sonic the Hedgehog with a sword. If this came true, I would cry for Sonic.

mcduffie didn't die in 1991
it was around early 80s between 84-87..time line..
1988 they redesigned the track with a short curved in the middle to slow down the race cars their top speed was around 180 mph along that stretch..??
As sad as this is, for every death in this video, there are probably hundreds of near misses, threatening injuries, and absolute miracles that kept those men alive. It's a dangerous sport, and I'm so glad they've taken so many steps since Dale Sr. to prevent and reduce the risk everywhere on the track, in the cars, on the cars, and the walls. His death above all has galvanized the most serious look at creating safer racing technology in every facet, not just one narrow band of it.
