NASCARs been dead since they banned the superbird. then they been dead since restrictor plates. then the car of tomorrow. Todays its dead because its run by woke losers who thought a garage door rope needed the FBI to come in to investigate.
When Jimmy Means appeared on the Dale Jr. Download, Jimmy said that he saw Neil Bonnett's crash when it happened. Jimmy was adamant that Neil blew a right front tire. He said he heard the tire blow. Both Neil and Rodney were on Hoosier tires. Goodyear benefitted greatly from the PR disaster that these accidents caused.
I know, I saw that interview with Jimmy. And it's hard to go against what he believes he heard, but I've also read from several sources that the tires themselves were all still up and inflated (to what psi I've never heard?) AFTER the wrecks. And I know the power that corporate PR BS has over the ability to manipulate the mind of the consumer and Jimmy was always good with Good Year. Not to Dave Marcis' level but still. Add to that the power that NA$CAR has over its competitors to control what they say and think. And NA$¢AR did *NOT* like Hoosier or want them around. They only allowed them in as a precaution in case Good Year's new owners decided to pull out. Then later because they wanted to strong arm Good Year when they signed their new exclusivity contract with them after 1994. Dirty business all around but that's nothing new with NASCAR. 🙄
Much like other situations like with the Owen Hart fall in WWF, the cameras are always rolling so Orrs crash is likely on tape but will never be seen. And I heard a rumor once that there was an in car cam in Dales car since he had a a roof cam but I don't think there was.
There was no in-car camera in Dale's car, I remember that day vividly and that's indeed just a rumor. Otherwise logically they wouldn't have needed 5 months of investigation to try and figure out how he died.
This is not true. Dale had roof and bumper cameras, but no in-car cameras. He didn't like having in-car cameras because he was prone to doing stuff like flipping other drivers off and he knew it would mean fines and points penalties.
I would say he *did* make it to the big time. 100 Cup races. 21 top 10 finishes, Roomie of the Year. That ain't nothing to sneeze at! He never had the success in the big time that his potential indicated he was due but he definitely "made it" there.
Thank you for the compliment! It was all just improv on the fly! The rhythm section laid down their tracks in a take or two and I just overdubbed the shit out of it with guitar tracks! It was such a blast and privilege to get to work with Jim Ed Norman (who produced this track) that I could have gone on forever in that place if they would have let me! I never even got to play the game! I didn't have an iphone and by the time it went to Android, it was rebadged as "Heat Mobile" with a whole new soundtrack, etc (but I believe the same engine was used in both)
@@MatthewLewisAtlanta yes the game was changed up and same engine but fun, but I did have killer soundtracks I must say. But the theme for Redline you did was killer!
@@christianrobertsracing1 thank you again! That was also Mark Truett on drums, Josh Erwin on bass guitar and Tim Dugger on vocals & acoustic guitar. I've got TONS of music online www.LinkFly.to/MatthewLewis and thanks for the kind words!
