@@Mimi-yo2pp It's a reference to a scene from a movie. One you've undoubtedly laughed at. So either you're the one being weird by trying to leverage what's "normal" in some awkward attempt at belittling someone in the comments in order to make yourself feel better, or...nope, that's what you're doing. Be normal, my guy.
It's actually one of the safer sports out there. Hasn't been a fatal crash since Dale Earnhardt. They really put a lot of development into the safety measures
It is not “one of the safer sports out there”. Historically it has been one of the most deadly. If it weren’t for luck we would’ve had about 5 more casualties in the last 10 years. Michael Waltrip and Ryan Newman for sure.
@@joshpauley289 "Oh no, people could have died! I'll going to use this hypothetical to challenge the fact that no one has died in a quarter of a century!" It is one of the safer sports out there. It has been 22 years since the last death.
@@criseist9786 no I don’t think you understand. The reason why they pumped so much money into safety is because we had massive amounts of deaths. At one point more than almost any other sport. There’s also only 40 drivers on track at a time, so losing one would make the rate extremely high. Ryan Newman was in an induced coma a few years ago in critical condition- he’s lucky to be alive, literally. Michael Waltrip got away with his life because a concrete wall went through his car a few inches from his face, where he wouldve died instantly. Brad Keselowski got flipped on his roof, where he slammed his roof into a wall sideways, nearly crushing his head. That’s just a few. That’s not hypothetical, that’s getting out lucky.
The cars are modified with a steel tubular roll cage to protect the drivers , along with a steel tubular frame , unlike cars you see on the roads. They also have the seats fitted to each driver and also other safety devices. In the past several drivers have died in Nascar accidents , but after the accidents , the Nascar Association tried to improve driver safety. Also along the race track they put up safety barriers for the people who are watching from the stands. The catch fence , @3:30 was added after seveal cars or parts of cars enter where the spectators were seated. If you went back to the 1980's Nascar videos , where more horrifying accidents had occured, you would see the difference from then to todays Nascar racing. I'm not sure when these videos were from, maybe in the 1990's - todays time. The Super Speedways had the most horrifying accidents , Talladega , Alabama Super Speedway, Daytona , Florida Super Speedway & Pocono / Long Pond , Pennsylvania Super Speedway , whaich are about 2 to 2 1/2 miles long or 3.21869 Kilometers to 4.02336 Kilometers long and the cars reach speeds up to 200 MPH or 321.869 KPH. Just a few facts that I know, enjoy.
ChaCha " If I get to travel the states, and there is Nascar going on, I would go " It's weird , people go to these events , just to see the accidents in my view. Since they improved the safety in racing , there are less people going to these Nascar races.
@@dragonsong1023 technically if the safety is improved to keep the driver and audience safe then seeing cars crashing could be entertaining. I still remember one live thing I saw forever ago that had a car and fireball/explosions (it was some kind of show maybe at Disney or something). But also I go and look up graphic videos of accidents, crimes, war, etc. so it’s a little different. I just am interested in what happens if xyz happened.
The HANs device was also a game changer in NASCAR after it was mandatory for drivers to wear them during the race after the unforgettable 2001 accident. The device basically connected and head and shoulders of the drivers so during impact preventing severe whiplash.
@@dragonsong1023 I can think of a few other reasons that less people are going to see NASCAR races. Just to keep it civil, let's say it has to do with certain business decisions that the heads of NASCAR have decided are worth going towards where as the fans think they are making a mistake and are showing their dislike by closing their wallets to them.
NASCAR events seem really cool and fascinating. As always these reactions are glorious. They’re literally the highlight of our days. Accidents occur when you least expect them to happen, so be sure to stay safe whenever possible.
It’s interesting to see people from different cultures experience stuff like this. It’s so normal seeing it when you’ve watched it your whole life so it’s cool to see fresh experiences
It's always funny to me to see people react to a crash that isn't that bad at all and think the driver is injured. One time, I was watching NASCAR with my aunt in the room and a car lightly touched the wall and she was like, "That's a really bad crash!"
Chacha is just so animated when she gets excited plus she is super cute. Watching these cars going so fast so close together and no wrecking is wild too.
As a former jackman in Nascar and the ARCA Series, I've seen and dealt with many major crashes. It's some scary stuff, especially when it's your driver. These cars are very safe.
I guess building a car specifically to protect a single occupant is much easier then trying to protect multiple. (Especially when they are also wearing safety gear as well)
You should do NHRA next...My father drove a nitro dragster for some 25yrs started in front engine and raced all the way to rear engine... I think the ladies would be shocked at the speeds and sounds
The last person to die during a Nascar race was the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr. in 2001 and his death sparked a revolution for the cars and regulations to make sure that the drivers would survive a crash. My family used to go to races all the time, I would actually fall asleep in my dad's lap during them despite how ear shatteringly loud those cars are going past.
You should have them react to Rally racing as well- I'm sure they'd be shocked to see those little cars flying down dirt roads, they'd also be shocked to see some of the crashes. Once again, they'd be shocked by the fact that most people walk out of those crashes alive and relatively undisturbed.
Oh man, I need these girls to react to WRC (World Rally Championship)! Cars they know going stupid fast on the kinda of roads they can find in Korea. Rally Ypres and Rally Finland are stand out ones to watch
When I was in Korea my tour bus traveled on some sick mountain roads that I was just desperate to be let out on with a competent canyon car. There are a lot of beautiful routes there, and I would love for Korea to maybe be a WRC stop one day.
I find the reaction of MJ, Youngju, Chacha and Minji to the video, more entertaining than the actual video itself. They are each a joy to watch and see their reactions. Minji, your reactions are truly f**king awesome.
Going to Daytona for a nascar race and walking on those steep race tracks is another feeling. Its like ur vibrating with the ground and its so loud that if u shout you'd sound mute. AWESOME
"NASCAR Driving Experience" - if you come to the US, you can absolutely either drive a stock car or do a ride along with a driver at several speedways. It's not cheap, but you can. You even get to race a little bit. By the way, NASCAR is an acronym for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.
reasons why the drivers are so calm during a crash, is that because 1, they train and prepare for that, and second, the roll cages in the car help them not get hurt. im tryin to explain in friendly terms so that everyone can understand. also their suits are fire proof.
American’s love “Gladiator” type sports. You basically only showed super speedway type racing where the cars run in a pack because of aerodynamics. This is only a small percentage of the racing they do. There are only 4 oval tracks that are 2 miles plus on the circuit, Daytona, Talledaga, Michigan and Fontana. The rest range from 1/2 mile to 1 1/2 mile ovals and various length road courses. On the shorter ovals and road courses the wrecks aren’t as massive because the cars are usually spread out much more and involve fewer cars. The footage must be fairly old as well because the cars seldom catch on fire like that anymore. The rules were changed many years ago to eliminate the mechanical fuel pumps from the engines which would break when a car got into a wreck. They were replaced with electric fuel pumps mounted in a much safer place due to safety and the fact the cars are now fuel injected and require more fuel pressure to run the engine.
As an expert on these cars I thought I'd say some of the safety features in these cars and the tracks themselves. Even though those hits are hard, NASCAR stock cars are actually really safe and the sport is constantly changing. Even at high speed impacts most of these drivers will walk away from a wreck under their own power. Plus, with the addition of the fire proof race suits, the Head And Neck Support (HANS) device, and the seven point lap belt these cars are probably some of the safest cars racing to this day. 3:26. With this crash only three fans in the grandstands were taken to the infield care center with minor cuts. The driver, who went into the fence at between 180-195 mph came to a complete stop in just under a second and he climbed out of the car and walked away waving to the fans as he did so.
So, to clarify a few fhings: - NASCAR seatbelts have a quick-release feature that allows the driver to exit their vehicle quickly. - There are numerous safety systems built both into the cars (strong roll cages, foam energy reducers in the door panels, and HANS Device) and into the track walls (SAFER Barriers) that reduce impact forces on the driver, and also help restrain the driver's head and neck in the event of a crash. - Fire is still absolutely the most terrifying thing a race driver can experience. I wish NASCAR would implement in-car fire extinguishers to protect drivers from cabin incursions by engine and fuel-cell fires. - It was so much fun watching you all react to these crashes -- but yes, there is a lot of skill involved, both on the drivers' part and on that of their teams. It's a different beast to Formula 1 racing, but it's no less technical a sport.
Im an American and i have so much love for South Korea. Theyre such a capitalist super power, its amazing to see. Theyre moving up in the automotive world quickly and build high quality vehicles.
Quick history lesson: the fence (catchfence) is something made to defend spectators (obviously). But was inspired to be made due to a crash dating back to 1955 that took 84 lives. Since then the things made to defend all drivers and spectators has been improving and still is.
I hope you react to The historic Rally Racing , that was way before nascar since racing back then was in Dirt. And that’s how rally was born , rally was done in a oval like nascar , speedways like F1 , and mountains or terrains which is what rally racing was really about until it evolved and had its own separate categories.
What the young lady says at 1:56 about the fact that if cars in front of you crash, you get caught up in it: in NASCAR, they call that “being collected.”
You should show the girls some videos of great NASCAR saves. FYI: I live near the Daytona Beach International Speedway, where several of those crashes occurred. The first race I ever saw was the '63 Daytona 500, on TV.
They work really hard to make those vehicles as safe as possible. The driver involved with that accident at 5:50 is also an engineer who helped design one of the pieces of the car that kept him safe. But part of the excitement stems from the danger.
Fun Fact: NASCAR was invented during Prohibition in the US. Moonshine Runners had to drive fast and take dirt back roads to avoid police. Moonshine Running eventually became NASCAR.
Hello, FYI, from 1960's -1970's it was called stock car racing. They would buy Chevy, Ford, Chrysler Dodge model cars, then alter the suspension, tinker with the engines, and different tire types, and race. It was a combination of driver skill, and better, faster cars. They would get sponsor's to help pay for everything, Later it became Nascar racing, in which the cars were all similar, with set specs.The drivers of today are much safer than back in the 70's.
I suggest to watch drifting videos. Especially videos which show the pov of the driver. For me, drifting hits the sweet spot between nascar racing and street racing. Plus its not a matter of who is the fastest, but who can show more style and guts.
I work as a safety crew member at my local short track. Because of the compact design and greater weight, stick cars can withstand bumping and contact better than open wheel cars. This is why the bump and run is allowed, which makes stock car racing a more physical sport than F1 or Indy cars. And there is more bumping amd contact on short tracks than the larger tracks
Hi, I have been a Nascar fan since I could remember. The physical fights are rare these days because of the rules for fighting. They can verbally fight. All the people in the cars that flipped over or was in the catched in the fence are okay. The fence is there to catch the cars so they don't go into the stands. I have been to 3 races before. Its crazy to see them crash.
all the fun stuff like NASCAR is not done in any of the big cities or states most people have heard of like NYC or LA. I grew up in a NASCAR state and it was so fun to sit on the back porch and I could hear the cars zoom at the local race track that was miles away when the teams would come in to practice for a big upcoming race. I hope ChaCha gets to see it in person one day! But it's like any sport, watching it on tv when nothing is happening is boring unfortunately, unless there is a crash which will reset who is running near the front.
Show them some sprint cars, wing and non wing, then some dirt late models and also some of the 3 hour world figure 8 championship race st the Indianapolis Speedrome. Like running a red light every 10 seconds 😳🤣
Quick explanation for why the cars seem to roll over so easily: its aerodynamics. Those cars are designed for going forwards at high speeds, which means you can't have air flowing under the car since it would just pick the car up off the ground. But if that car gets turned around somehow at that speed, the aerodynamic diffuser in the back that helps it while going forwards basically acts like an airplane's wing. You can demonstrate this by sticking your hand out the window of a moving car snd tilting it back. You'll feel it try to lift up. But on the bright side, wrecks where they roll over a lot are actually much safer due to the slow dissipation of energy. It's hard collisions you need to be worried about, since all the energy is dissipated at the same time
There have been spectators injured or worse more in the earlier years. Wheels flying into the crowd if i remember correctly an engine went into the crowd. Definitely an interesting sport.
The staff should also update them on the safety features in the car, the fences and their headgear. The fences are meant to slow and grab cars if they hit them. The cars have flaps to slow them down when they get spun or turned around and it tries to keep them from getting airborne. Also, they have roll cages and fire proof suits on. While it won't feel good to hit a wall at 185mph, they help mitigate as best that they can in the car and even help put give into the walls themselves. In the 70s-80's, sure it was a REAL stock car, but it's a race car today.
The crash at 05:58 the dude was leading the pack in the final lap before being hit The tracks are also around 20 degree angles to keep the cars on the tracks
Seeing how other countries react to NASCAR is always interesting to me. Although showing a bunch of crashes mostly from the super speedways with little to no context or explanation is a bit concerning. "Bump drafting" is mainly a super speedway thing and its not that there are no regulations, its just that you can't really regulate physics and aerodynamics. And there have been a lot of safety changes that have happened because of big crashes like the roof flaps, air dams, and rear spoilers to keep cars grounded, roll cages, neck and helmet gear, fire suits, safety barriers on the walls, etc.
I've gone to a lot of Nascar races in Dover, Delware, known as Dover motor speedway. And the vibration of the cars going by and the sound is exhilarating. Im going to pay for it when I'm older cause i never wore any hearing protection 😂
Intresting seeing reactions from people who come from countries where not much action happens. They seem to be more cautious people especially when getting injured but i cant blame em.
That fight between Logano (Pennzoil Driver) and Busch (M&Ms Driver) was hilarious because Logano walked away smiling, and Busch was sitting there pouting because he got his ass kicked xD
NASCAR races happen every weekend from late Februrary to early November. And there's 3 tiers of racing. Truck Racing, Xfinity Racing (the JV League), and Cup Racing. Trucks usually race on Fridays. Xfinity generally on Saturday. And Cup generally on Sunday. Fandom has fluctuated throughout its history. But the 90s were especially popular. 2022 just ushered in a new generation of car. Dubbed the Next Gen, but officially it's the 7th Gen of car they've used. All new car style. Looks more like the street cars than anything they've used over the past 30 years. Biggest engine change is split exhaust out of both sides of the car. 4 cylinders per each side. Gives the cars a totally different exhaust sound than the previous few generations.
OSSC ladies, there is nothing that matches the Daytona 500 seeing the cars run 200 MPH and touching each other or bump and run. Usually there are 42 cars and to MJ's question yes it is heavily regulated. Some of the drivers will fight at the drop of a hat and sometimes you don't have to drop the hat. lol. There is nothing like being there and hearing the noise, it's great! I very much enjoyed this video.
It should be mentioned that the amount of regulations and safety stuff that has gone into modern circuit racing is pretty insane when you learn about it. Back 30-40 years ago the cars were actually even faster than now and they had to put regulations in to slow the races down for safety, there are all sorts of rules about how you can bump and such, and most importantly, the crash barriers have become much safer. My grandfather used to race ARCA back in the early 70's (basically a Nascar predecessor with less crowds and less pay) and they were racing the same class of cars as Nascar at the time, but on dirt tracks with concrete barriers. The most important thing to note though, is when you see a car disintegrating into millions of tiny pieces, that may well be the safety features at play. They have ways that they are supposed to break and things that are designed in ways to have a certain tolerance so that the area the driver is in can be as protected as possible. Bits flying off and sparks spraying everywhere is basically just the accident shedding energy though, so it isn't as big of a worry as it seems. Of course cars flipping is still bad, but with the modern flap systems on the cars there are a lot of aero-drag systems at play to prevent many accidents that would have otherwise ended up with a car upside down.
