Nascar's Strangest Debris Cautions 

9:34 The spinning harmonic balancer routine gets my vote. Look at that baby spin Dan.

"I've seen the caution lights come off the wall before" next up - the caution lights

I still believe that the whole stage racing thing came about so fans wouldn't complain about those mystery debris cautions they used to throw. Those were the ones where they didn't actually show the debris on camera. My dad and I would always say, "Brian France must be getting bored" because it always seemed to happen when one driver had a massive lead for a long time.

Wow, the racing surfaces have a vendetta against Gordon

What i noticed most about this video is how much better the race coverage on TV was in years past than it has been the last couple of years., you can't even see the racing on FOX any more as they have graphics on the screen all the time covering up the racing action.

Another: inflatable Tropicana orange making laps on the front stretch.

0:30 2025 aero package

9:34 I'd like to know where I can buy these NASCAR beyblades

That cable at Charlotte. I was at that race. It whipped a fan in the back of the head behind us

9:35 - *Cue the theme to **_BeyBlade..._*

Slugger "where the hell did i put my notebook" Crew "you sat it down right over here" Slugger "over where?" Crew "right on the the yellow table by the door" NASCAR " caution on the track" Slugger "DAMN IT DAMN IT" lol sorry slugger we've all been there brother

Carl Edwards: "I dont know what the caution was for. I really hope it for... you know something we needed a yellow for cause, we were runnin really good."

The caution lights one is ridiculous

One quick one you missed -Michigan 2017 (forgot what race) cowboy hat.

I don't remember Jamie McMurray disobeying "The Reed Sorenson Rule"... Good to know...

I have seen some of these before and they still blow my mind, it’s a wonder that cable didn’t do more damage than it did

I feel bad for Ty Dillion, if you remember, that was about to be is best finish in 13th.

2:41 wow that's the caution light

2:58 they knocked the LIGHTS out of it

Now do a video on the 1,200 phantom cautions.

Under the beautiful sun siney skies. Think the announcer got tongue tied

0:04 that one car spinning out: *SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT*

I won't say questionable cautions don't happen. But I can say without a shadow of doubt, just because you don't _see_ a problem, doesn't mean there _isn't_ a problem. August 19, 2001. ARCA race on the one mile dirt track in Springfield, Ill. Around lap 70-ish, one guy on the flagstand disappears. He had a heart attack. It was me. Odd coincidence. Dean Roper, truck racer Tony's dad, dies in his race car due to a heart attack, about twenty laps before I had mine. So much goes on at a race people don't see. Radio troubles which cause a misunderstanding, honorary starter bumping the caution light switch and turning it on. Getting an electrical shock when you touch the metal flagstand rail and the catch fence. Almost getting hit in the head with a piece of exhaust tubing, getting hit by lugnuts that get spit out from underneath the spinning tires of a car leaving pit road (also could be the cause of vibrations, or tire failures damaging the carcass of the tire), power failures, hornets nest in the flagstand. All of these things and more have happened to me. And that's just my time working with ARCA and occasional races with NASCAR. Doesn't include the times I was driving (locally), working on a pit or safety crew, or as a spotter. Sorry so long, but sometimes when things aren't what the seem, and people don't see it and others get blamed for something that they had nothing to do with, well, you get tired of it. Especially when it's something you were involved in.

Jet fuel on the banking from hitting the track dryer counts as debris... I'll make up any excuse to see Juan Pablo Montoya clobber the jet dryer when his car broke...

2:33 I remember that caution when I use to watch Nascar. Still gives me a laugh

0:01 what happened to the guy in the top left corner 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those phantom debris cautions are pretty strange...

You didn't get the all time best. In the 80's, turn 4, Daytona, Bobby Allison's rear bumper. Not the bumper bar, not the bumper cover. The stock, metal rear bumper! Speculation was that it was rigged to get knocked off if Bobby slowed down to avoid something, someone might tap it, or in a tight draft, knocking it off. Except it fell off without contact. I think Gary Nelson was the crew chief. Second only to Smokie Yunick, when it came to "questionable" rule compliance.

Look at those packed stands at 2:05

8:28 much like Bathurst 2014, but the result was two cars in the wall and a red flag suspension there.

Just wait until a hot dog gets thrown on the track at *Martinsville*

Another strangest debris caution is 2018 NASCAR xfinity race at Charlotte motor speedway: the black flag board fall from the flagstand

i remember the Kurt Busch broken rim race...he went on to win the championship due to that incident...instead of changing the tire under green, he got to change it under yellow

The guy retrieve the tire at 6:30 is the craziest thing ever. you know that car are driving a 200mph and sometime it can be out of control.

A yellah caused by the yellah

this video is great.

Coooolio

That tire going out on the track is the difference between a champion Kurt Busch and a non-champion Kurt Busch

9:35 what's that clip when Wallace dropped debris?

10:16 "And how many weeks is he going to shit parts on television?!"

There was a flying axle at martinsville this year

There`s another strange debris caution: the black flag board fall from the flagstand during the xfinity race at Charlotte motor speedway in 2016

God video

a bumper bar isn't considered strange --- it happens a lot

Wow

Please make a NASCAR’s most violent t-bones

Those spitters are strong if they can turn a piece of concrete into dust.

Was the xfinity race 2017

Has there ever been a caution for the caution flag being dropped on the racetrack?

You forgot the big orange at Chicago land bro that’s the wackiest caution ever

I bet his radiator is not too happy.

What I’ve learned don’t trust the pavement

Here after one of the signs at Texas blew away and all over the track

I remember when an exhaust pipe came off a car, and the nascar crew couldn't pick it up because it was so hot. Not sure when or where that was

Why couldn't they move the debris near the start finish line in the first clup

Damn, everyone (including me) loved Jeff Gordon, but, uh... I don't think the tracks like him.

#SLIGHTLYEARLY

Why did that Road America one have to be a caution? Its a 4 mile track with a 2.5 minute lap time. Just send someone to jump the fence and pick the damn thing up. Oh wait, they needed a double file restart.

The two Gordon and mcmurry incidents would have been avoided if nascars multi billion dollar asses would quit being Cheapskates and repave their damn tracks

Nascar's Strangest Debris Cautions

U aren't running out to the middle of the track anyway ur just running out to get a hold of the debris and then u come back

You forgot about Daytona.

its funny cing steve asa car cheif

That one at road America is so dumb , I mean it takes about a little over two minutes to go around the track so why throw a caution just go out there real fast get the sign off the track and let them race makes no sense

Look at all the empty seats.....
