Well, it’s amazing he didn’t die. These were the days without restrictor plates too

The dark somnium posting comments on a nascar video? Now thats a horror story i want to hear

I mostly got the feeling that he did not died but if he crashed sideways that might be a different story

Okay dad

Crazy! Pin you’re comment

Yes father..

I love you too baby

You would be looking at at least 100 fatalities with a crash like this if it weren’t for the fencing...

@@joshbacon8241 yes Doctor

I was at that race.

Hey 😌😊 y'all I'm going to back out of this what's becoming a nut job conversation and maybe check back in on y'all later tosee if at least 2 of you seem to be on the same page with each other bye 😎☺️🤣 y'all for now and don't have any more fun than I would

Especially in that he saw it coming, was able to identify what it was, and already knew the consequences. When these guys are running at those speeds, the constant high adrenaline level has got their brain running like an overclocked CPU.

Imagine driving at 200+ MPH and a crankshaft puts a hole through your head

Exactly what I was thinking. This had the potential to be similar to that; thank God it didn’t end up the same way though.

What happened?

@@nobblechoklad two cars collided and one of the cars hit a safety barrier and the engine flew into the crowd along with debrie and killed almost more than 100 people, one driver died and one person ran onto the track trying to avoid the fire and was hit by another racer and died, the race continued so that people leaving wouldn't stop medical help from providing aid and making it easy for the ambulances get in and out. It is the world's most deadliest racing disaster

What continent did the 1955 le mans happen in?

Perhaps

Bro so true

happens to me too. this is my 10th time on this video❤️

The way they're screening off MLB parks nowadays because of safety concerns, I wouldn't be surprised to see NASCAR follow suit with just that, glass barriers like at hockey games

Wasn't that 1957?

@@collinghood6828 no

Jatin Patil oh, ok.

The ONLY thing that stopped it from being Le Mans was that bump into the wall just before it went into the fence. That one smack started the car spinning the other direction and sucked a boatload of energy out of the wreck. If it hadn't the care would've continued on a upward trajectory, and when it got to the grandstands it would've basically become a 3000lb frisbee. And could've definitely injured more than 100 people with a lot of those being deaths.

TyVulpintaur And Formula One was MUCH worse: I have forgotten the number of drivers who were killed in Grand Prix races from 1961 to 1976, but it seemed as if three drivers lost their lives in Grand Prix every year before the new crop of team owners started to demand that Formula One get serious about safety in the sport. Thank God that the Grand Prix carnage was nowhere near that bad in NASCAR.

58* lol

people really don't know what sort by newest means

@@peopleperson it is top comments by default and I didnt change it

@@FFF-ng5td this video is set to newest first

@@peopleperson no its not

Nope

lets argue about how the US government has massacred thousands of their civilians in 9/11 by funding the terrorist group alqaeda with CIA weapons and training. because a "free" government can do this and then use their liberal news organizations they fund as well to downplay the incident, feed lies to the people, and then cause more controversy by throwing american soldiers at CIA funded terrorists, two sides of the same coin and they're fighting one another. we need to go against the government.

Quirble I can’t argue this. I agree with this

@@quirble You know he said he wanted to know if you wanted to argue, not make straight line points that we agree with. . .🤦‍♂️

Hi

Howdy-do

NASCAR is the name of the sport, the cars that they use to race are called stock cars.

Don't watch it. The algorithm wins.

F1 is faster than it's ever been. The current generation of cars hold all the F1 records for top speeds, even on tracks which should be much slower on time and straights speed. What you're likely thinking of is the end of ground effect, which was allowing cars to pull more Gee's in a corner than even the current cars. That and the change from 1.5L turbos producing 1400hp in qualification boost, to 3.5L NA engines, making ~650-700 HP. But better engineering and areo development have since regained 1000 HP engines and 5 or 6 Gee cornering loads. At least, for now. 2022 regs will pare it back down to sensible levels of crazy.

@@wyattroncin941 You are 100% right! Technological advancements have made the cars much more efficient for lap times. The days of high power though are gone but then again they were destroying qualifying engines after a few laps so whats the point. Still my favorite F1's are 80's-Early 2000's. I cannot deal with the vacuum sound of today. V10 era probably had the best sounds ever. There was actually a V8 era in IndyCar and Car too it was hilarious. They sounded like NASCAR. I'd rather have that than today as well. But technology and safety of today is definitely worth it.

@@Xtremecarfan10188 Take a look at what WRC has become smh... Talk about vacuum cleaner engines

If you've ever been to Talladega, you would have seen that the fence is supported by 3 cables that run the length of it. Those cables are (I'm guessing) 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" thick.

@@123bentbrent That's certainly better than nothing. But it's the proximity to the track that worries me. In European events there's usually a buffer zone between the track and spectators. Even steel cables won't protect people from flames, fumes, fragments of glass, etc.

I don't think you're giving the catch fence the respect it deserves. It is TOUGH. It has shredded numerous cars over the years, but has kept them all on the track.

It's quite a bit more than a chain link fence. The crash you just watched showed how tough they were. Now they are even stronger. People behind still might get hurt however, bouncing tires, flying debris. If you sit in the front row there is always a risk. That's why I always do! It's the best seat at the track unless you're driving!

Guess it was only me n u
