The checkered flag at the 2020 Daytona 500. Ryan Newman wrecks hard. People are saying one of the worst wrecks in Nascar history. @WooGlobe Verified (Original) *For licensing / permission to use: Contact - licensing(at)WooGlobe(dot)com
so many other worse wrecks, Rusty Wallaces wrecks at Dega and Daytona in '93, just for starters, Michael Waltrip wreck at Bristol where his car got split in half, Austin Dillons catch fence wreck, Richard Pettys catch fence wreck, Carl Edwards catch fence wreck. and thats just the tip of the iceberg.
What really pissed me off about this is the fact that the victory celebration went on while Ryan was still trapped in his car. Same thing when Michael won the 500 the day Dale Sr died. Victory celebration was going on and Dale was dying (if not dead) still in his car.
@@Ktallica Yes I know Dale died on impact.I was just saying that NO VICTORY celebration should take place while any driver is being attended to on track.
Didn't look severe to most, Waltrip couldn't really express joy at Michael winning, because all were so concerned, at the time. I recall things being quite muted...........
Doesnt hurt anyone and its not like they could've stopped the crash. I dont know why people are so against recording, If i was at an event i would definitely want it to be documented just for memories. Its like people think you're less intellegent for taking a picture of something or recording it.
Many worse wrecks than this one (2001 Daytona 500 Fatal Dale Earnhardt) (2015 Austin Dillons ride into the fence) (Kurt Busch career ending concussion wreck) (Dale Jr career ending concussion wreck) (Aric Amirola crash almost career ending) (Brad Keselowski wreck at Atlanta from Carl Edwards) I know I'm missing a lot more, but these were the ones i witnessed.
When i watched this ln tv i was cheering so hard. And instantly went quiet with the driver side hit to the wall.. then the driver side upside down hit made me fall back to me chair..... a whole evening of disbelief
@@nascarfireball4828 Alright then, I'll attempt to name two others I think are worse, Geoff Bodine's truck wreck at Daytona, and Dale Earnhardt Sr's faithful crash.
The worst wrecks are the one's where these father's ,brother's ,husband's ,son's and daughter's don't get a chance to suit up again. 😢😢 RIP "THE INTIMIDATOR"
Yeah but that Russell Phillips left his head in the pit road entrance, Kyle Larson runs that scheme for his sprint car and it makes my stomach kind of turn.
My father used to race. I was 6 years old. Never ceased to amaze me when there was a crash and the crowd went wild. Every time I see this that memory comes back in full color. Unforgettable!
And if we count NASCAR Mexico, Carlos Pardo. Though I should warn you that you probably don’t want to see that one. Basically a head on collision with Fort Knox at 150.
Bodine. Truck. Daytona. Puts this melodrama to shame. We were played with this wreck. Yes it was bad, and we all feared the worst with the news blackout. Then Newman walked out without a scratch less than 48 hrs later. We were played.
Geffory bodies truck was the worst wreck in nascar history..nascar has it as number 1... doesn't matter what other think.. I have watched it dozens of times and everytime I watch is I see different shit breaking away untill all that is left is half a motor.
Cup series or Xfinity. In cup it was Jeff Gordon after wrecking with Matt Kenseth on the backstretch. In the Xfinity series Kyle Larson was in the 32 car and lost his engine in a catch fence crash.
Oddly, what saved Ryan's life was his own idea. He recognized in other wrecks that there was a weakness in the roll cage if the car was hit while invertedat the top of the windshield. It was the weakest area of the roll cage. Then came Newman's design that added a bar to the roll cage at the top of the windshield. This video doesn't show how violent of a wreck he went through that night. His car was upside down when struck by another car airborne. That new bar saved his life. If not for that, the roof of the car would have collapsed in on top of him. He was seriously injured in the crash but he was alive.
Worst wreck in nascar history Did you see what happend to russel Philz’s in 1998 his hand got ripped off and his head got ripped off fount at pit road rest in peace russel Phil’s ❤️🫶😇☺️😭😢
I bet if you ask Ryan Newman, he would tell you it was just another wreck @ Daytona, just a pisser he ended up on his lid... Ryan is a class act. #Blessed
Look up the guy who died in a nascar race when he was rammed into the wall, breaking his neck, ribs, legs, arms, mostly his whole body and crushing his internal organs. That’s why nascar have all of these safety systems on the cars now
Anyone that thinks this is anywhere near even top 10 worst wrecks in Nascar history hasn't watched much Nascar; particularly the Winston Cup era. This one gets so much hype yet there have been several worse.
Y'all realize this is where Dale Earnhardt had his fatal crash right? Granted, that crash wasn't that bad, he just wasn't wearing proper head restraints because they weren't mandatory back then.
Dale Earnhardt beats any wreck by 10 times the amount of damage and heartbreak it caused the world. Earnhardt’s wreck will never be trumped and it will always be the saddest crash in nascar history
