I watched the Michael McDowell crash live. The speed indicator they put on the TV screens was reading, I think, 183 mph at the point of impact. The fact that he walked away from that crash is impressive beyond words.
@@coreymiller626 i know im a year late, blah blah blah, but when someone wrecks that bad on a qualifying run, only thing you hear from the pit area is a loud bang, skidding, and complete silence after.
After seeing Christian Elder’s crash here, I went and googled his name as I never really heard of him. It turns out this qualifying crash ended his short racing career. On an even worse note, I also learned that he died in 2007 at the age of 38. It was from a Meth Overdose. RIP.
I was watching the Michael McDowell crash live and couldn't believe he wasn't gravely injured or dead, much less that he walked away with only bumps and bruises. That was an ugly crash.
6:20 I love how perfectly timed that "pow" was, also I think McDowell's crash looks really bad because he hits the wall at around 186MPH but it was far from a dead stop, had that been a dead stop he would've died but the car turned and the rear slammed into the wall and started rolling so the energy was able to dissipate well enough that he was able to walk away
Corrections: In The Chapters, Where It Says Mike Skinner, It’s Actually Michael Waltrip, Who Drives The #15 And #55 The One Who Drives The #12 In The Chapter Darrel Waltrip, It’s Actually David Stereme And On The One Where It Says Christan Eckes, You Were Close, But It Is Christan Elder And, The Chapter That Says Kyle Busch, It Is Actually Jimmie Johnson That Drives The #48 2002 - 2020 And Final, The Chapter That Says Dillon Lupton, Close, But It’s Dylan Lupton, Thank You. Edit: Also You Forgot The Chapter That Should Say *Dale Jarret* When Jarret Crashed
Never understood why Pocono moved those newer walls so close to the track. It's a bigger and faster track, you need more runoff space between the wall and apron.
Watching these wrecks at Charlotte makes me think....wow how did we get away for so many years that no one went down pit road wrecking? Other tracks some hit the wall (Bristol) or almost hit the wall (Dover). And just how wild and out of control it is to be fast at Charlotte for some of them...we got luck y'all...good heads up driving by Chase to keep from spinning down into pit lane.
9:42 That's when I knew the COT was the right call, regardless of how good or bad the racing was. He's not walking away in a Gen 4 car, even with the safer barrier.
