Dale Jr. and Boris Said Relive Fiery Corvette Crash from 2004 

I met him once and when I told him he was the most chill driver I'd ever met he said "I'm as big a fan as anyone in the stands, I just got to drive" and laughed which I just thought was incredible

Boris drove a VW to and from the track at the Glen. He had the hair for sure.

Not much.

I'll take a stout 👍🏼 thanks

Add in Clint Bowyer and James Hinchcliff then just sit back drink and watch.

Obviously Dale Sr

A bouncy castle with Jimmy Spencer and Kurt Busch after a dozen pints

He’s like the modern day Junior Johnson. Love ya Dale!

What's that saying "God has a plan, I just hope I'm in it"?? God DEFINITELY has a plan for Dale jr -

I remember the chants the fans would make In their Afro wig saying ‘who said, Boris said’

Me too man. His Canada win is still one of the best finishes in racing, ever.

God bless you had an older brother who was a retired fire fighter and had my legs burned in my early teen when a frying pan full of hot grease came off the stove and I didnt get out of the way fast enough it was summer and I had a pair of cut offs on

Also I bet he steamed himself on the back of his legs

i've been around racing since 1958 but yours is good too

@@chrismathewsjr I've been around racing since 1906 junior

With all due respect Las Vegas indycar crash that killed Weldon is the most terrifying thing that’s been televised.

⁠​⁠@@matthewsimon9500I disagree; I saw the wreck that took Weldon live and there was so much carnage you didn’t really know at first anyone was hurt. Even the first few replays, you couldn’t tell he hit that catch fence cockpit first. The Corvette fire, knowing Jr. was still in there and how intense it was and he’s still not out, that one angle that shows the fire flare up into his face and you can see he’s still got his shoulder straps on, was terrifying to watch. Even 19 years later and seeing it now gives me knots in my gut. Im just talking optics here; obviously a man lost his life in your example and nothing can compare to that.

Took the words right out of my mouth!.......so true!

Of all of them that plane crash should have takin the whole family. It's a miracle that the fence did not bind the door up, thankfully it didn't. The more I watched the scarier it is. Not a religious fella myself but something was keeping an eye on the family and pilots cause another foot or two and that plane would've not been able to be opened. Dales a good dude and his wife and kids seem to be the real deal can't wait to see where he goes as life continues

Plane explosions, car planes, plane concussions 😂 idk lol

"Car explosions, car crashes, plane crashes, concussions etc" So what else?

I believe his dad has helped him survive all of it

Totally different situation. Boris, although relatively well known within the sport, certainly has been an amateur racer for at least the last decade. No comparison to a full time cup contender.

Actually what most fans don’t know. Kyle is actually one of the nicest drivers I have ever met. Don’t let the tv persona fool you. I honestly think he is like drivers I drove with where they get in front of cameras and they act out because they are shy Or not confident. But I’ve met Kyle and he’s one of the best. The drivers people think are good ive also met and they are usually the worst ones. I met dale sr several times at race tracks 9 out of 10 times he was great but ever now and then you would get the persona dale. I would have to say one of the biggest pricks was mike skinner dale Sri team mate at rcr in the Lowe’s car. He walked around like he was god and had not won a race. Which is probably why dale sr absolutely could not stand him. He acted like he was superior to dale when I saw him. It would make you cringe the way he looked down to Gordon and dale idk if he intended to come off that way but that’s the way he appeared.

@@klk1900 Drivers you drove with LOL. we are talking professional cup drivers not saturday night local derbies.

@@borismcfinnigan3430 An amateur racer... ? Boris might not be in stock cars, but he's the furthest thing from racing at the amateur level. Kyle is just a boorish prick. There's no excuse of that, regardless the level of motorsport competition.

@@borismcfinnigan3430 So your point is that Kyle is a Cup drivers and therefor too good for that?? Not much of an argument dude, lol.

He didn't mention it (understandably), but that was what I heard at the time.

There is a picture out there that literally looks like someone was behind him, underneath his arms, pulling him out.

@@cuckmyfunt When I first seen the crash I thought the same thing that he was being helped out and when Dale Jr. said it himself that's all the confirmation I need.

@@trinidasparacino601 yep. I’ll try to find the interview with him talking about it, but he definitely had some help. He said “It was Dad”

I have always thought that Dale was saved by his Dad. No doubts about it! 0

GT3 Vette. :)

I can tell you that definitely wasn't diesel the guy had poured on the pile, you can't ignite diesel with an open flame. Either he straight up lies or didn't know what he was talking about but from how you described it going up that sounds like gasoline.

I worked at hospitals for 16 years..., Thank You for telling that story of "western world medical care", in these times.

oh ouch

The cutting of the skin is called debridement. I also know from first hand experience. Because i had it done. Was in an explosion at work, while simply opening up a building door. The whole building exploded, burning 42 acres of land. The building housed a natural gas dehydration unit, which boils the moisture out of natural gas. I was thrown 30 ft through the air like a rag doll, and I’m not a little guy 6-1, 220 then. Hit the ground with so much force while trying to break my fall with my hands, because I was going face first. That it instantly ripped the burnt hide off my hands and for arms. I was air lifted out after driving myself a mile out and waiting to be hauled to nearest ER 30 mins away, by company vehicle. Once upon arriving they immediately cut my clothes off, by this time it had been an hour and yes the burning sensation had set in. I was shaking like a leaf, but felt like someone was holding a blow torch to me all over. 3 doses of morphine did nothing, and the swelling had started. My face and hands were already swelling, they were worried I’d taken a deep breath when the explosion happened and immediately they airlifted me to the nearest burn unit. While on the chopper the flight medics gave me fentanyl and it eased the pain but didn’t kill it. Made it more of a sensation, upon arriving at the center, I was immediately met by roughly 30 doctors n nurses. N believe me they went to work. I was so burnt on my upper body they did all my blood pressures, IVs, blood draws, everything all from my feet. The plastic surgeon doctor told me with burns we don’t know how bad it is yet, but give it a week. Burns either get better or worse. They concluded I had 3rd degree burns on 26% of my body. 2nd degree on 15% and 1st on 16%. Lacerations to most of my fingers where chucks of the metal siding ripped through my hands as I was flying through the air, that were blown off the building. If that door hadn’t been 1-1/2-2in solid hardwood door and acted somewhat like a shield, I wouldnt. Be here today. Wrapped me up in bandages, sent me home that night, but it took 9 months of healing, 8 months of therapy and 2 years wearing burn sleeves over my arms, to get back close to normal. I still have scars when I tan. Or if I’m In the sun. Lucky I didn’t have any skin grafts. But the cutting the skin off (debreidment) sucks, wasn’t to bad while they were doing it, because all my skin had done lifted up separately from The layer under it. But when they wrapped me up air tight after, I could feel my heart beat every time in every bit of the newly uncovered raw skin n it had me almost in tears, begging for mercy. That was the 2nd week, or so. N the plastic surgeon said Yelp it got worse, you got burnt real good. The worst of it was the swelling, scabbing, peeling, scabbing again, peeling, scabbing again, of my face, lips, ears,

I been a fan of the Dale earnhardt for a long time now I was at the race in Daytona 2001 when Dale died its was hard driving back to Pennsylvania and a nerve racking in my drive home and I was sitting by the 4th turn 😢

Were there fire suppression systems in these cars back then and if not, is there any type of system now?

There was one however when there is that much fuel it does not do much,besides I honestly don’t know if he even set it off some systems go off automatically others you have to set off. Back then was really just the beginning of the self extinguishing systems.

@@Mtlmshr fair enough. Thanks

had my legs burned in my early teens so OUch to Jr that hurts

Still i dont know what Boris Said

Absolutely. I loved it when they'd put an in car camera aimed at Boris's feet. That was worth the price of admission. My wife would always say, I bet Boris is a really good dancer too. lol

Either your nerve endings were dead or the morphine was a big shot. I burnt my arm (wrist to elbow) something fierce years ago and I hope never to feel that again. I can't imagine being engulfed. Cheers

@@buckodonnghaile4309 it was a big shot and I was on pain meds for a couple of weeks after. It was both of my arms and chest. The burning was getting worse and by the time I was at the hospital I ran into the triage room to the sink and was splashing water on it constantly. They got me back instantly and knocked me out with morphine. I remember halfway coming to with my arms wrapped and nurses giggling because they were trying to get some info and I was so doped up i was talking nonsense 😂.

@@Jpilgrim30 haha, glad you're doing better. When I broke my pelvis the nurses had the same issue, I kept telling them that my leg was on backwards and asking if the the doctor was trolling me......fun stuff, cheers.

Unfortunately.
