I absolutely miss Bob Jenkins and that whole NASCAR era, along with Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett.... thank God we can relive those moments here. Scary looking crash for Wallace.
Robert Anderson what happened to nascar remember whatching these races went Michigan for a race in this same time period now I don’t even like whatching it i don’t even understand it any more these were the good days of racing it’s all went down hill I’m glad it’s safer but it has changed to much I doubt it will ever be even close to like this I’ll tell you though that was one bad wreck
@@onlythewise1 they can never replicate what it was back then. They truly were the good ole days. I am glad I was able to grow up in that era of racing.
Even Earnhardts friends weren't safe....lucky he didnt kill Rusty.....Hes crashed more people in the history of NASCAR....Intimidator? More like Cheater!
This wreck happened right in front of me when I was 8 years old. Dale hauled ass back around the track and jumped on Rusty’s car trying to help him get out. I’ll never forget it.
Guys, HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I remember as an 11 year old kid crying after this wreck. I thought there was no way Rusty survived. 17 years later looking back on this crash, it was much worse than the Elliot Sadler and Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart crashes. The momentum before roof flaps made the cars tumble much faster. The modern day flips are slower and more of a force disappating roll. This was just brutal. This one, Davy Allison's crash and Geoff Bodine's crash.... good god.
@@keithjones8889 I’m making a joke because you couldn’t understand what he was saying because of his cool southern style accent. Back when NASCAR was cool. Still on TNT network with Bob Jenkins, before they went Hollywood and built tracks out west and got rid of dates at old cool tracks etc.
The reason that happened is that in those days, ESPN broadcast in mono. They sent a 2nd channel of audio by satellite from the track to ESPN that was called a clean feed ... everything but the announcers (and them, too, but only when they were on camera). This video likely was uploaded from a tape that was recorded that way, then had its channel 2 audio "stripped" away. Channel 1/race audio left ... Channel 2/silence right. What should have happened was that the mono race audio should have been passed to left and right. Clearly, it wasn't. 😕
As a Rusty Wallace fan and being there that day I was terrified for my driver. Amazing video, thanks to Dale Earnhardt for being that kind of guy. I remember you got Rusty’s gloves. What a symbolic gesture by the Intimidator. NASCAR HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME
Dale Earnhardt & Rusty Wallace should earn an award for recreating a moment from the cars movie (even though this flip occurred before the cars movie was a thing)
Can we all just take a second to appreciate the move Mark Martin put on Rusty through the tri-oval on the penultimate lap. Huge commitment and bravery to pull that off.
I saw this live on TV, I was 22 and loved motorsports in general, not just one type of racing, had watched racing since I was a baby and attended many. That move Mark made was intense! I remember almost jumping off the chair, that was bold 👍 I wasn't a huge fan of Dale up to this point tho I respected his ability and talent, when I saw the 3 car fly back around when they were interviewing Tony Glover I became a fan. Then Dale's interview afterwards you could see his eyes were wet and he showed he had a heart. He was a good man and helped a lot of people off the track. Did I agree with everything he did driving etc? No, it was a different time. Today most of motorsports sucks, why? It's the personalities of the people in it.
Amazing to see how many posts saying Earnhardt just "tapped" Rusty. Maybe so, but he caused one hell of a crash. But when Sterling "tapped" Dale at Daytona, the Earnhardt fans wanted Sterling banned from racing. But with Dale, "it's just racing".
I had a VHS tape of the craziest crashes and finishes in NASCAR when I was a kid. My grandfather that later committed suicide bought it for me and I damn near wore out our tape player watching it. My parents donated all our VHS years ago and this is the first time I have seen this clip since then and as I write this I am trying to hold back the tears. Thank you so much for posting this...
This was the first race I watched after Davey Allison #28 died . Wasn't sure I was gonna keep up with the sport anymore . Then this race/wreck happened . Rusty finished 6th and walked away with a sprang wrist if I'm not mistaken. I told my friends ,"that's my new driver " . Was a #2 MGD / Lite fan til he retired . Have had the pleasure of meet Rusty several time threw out the years ... He will always be a legend in my book .
Davey Allison was still alive for this race. He finished 7th. Either you have Davey and Alan Kulwicki’s deaths reversed, or you’re talking about watching it on tape.
@@zlinedavid possible that she has this race and the July Diehard 500 confussed. Davey died between New Hampshire and Pocono. The 2nd Talledega race was after Pocono. So its possible that is what she is referring to

@@zlinedavid yeah Robby Gordon took over Davey's car at Talledega. Thanks about pointing out the he is actually a she. I read the post and didn’t look at the profile picture so I just assumed. My mistake.
Scariest wreck i ever witnessed live. I love that he walked away though and finished 6th. I recall he did break his wrist but that was the only injury he suffered.
Thomas McGinley I don't know why people keep saying this. Well, I know why, it's because it makes sense for them to base it off a Petty crash since he voiced The King (character that crashed,) but for whatever reason they based it off this Rusty Wallace flip.
Wow, what a difference in the racing. I use to be big into Nascar when I was younger. Then just became tired of it and I barely follow it now. But wow if it was like this kind of racing now days, id be hooked again.
Rustys car was really good that day, he really wanted to get that 4th win in a row, he was out front leading at multiple points in the race. Probably the only time he was ever competitive at Talladega. This wreck and subsequent injuries(broken wrist) cost him the championship that year. It took him 5 or 6 races to crack the top 5 again. In 1994 in that same stretch of races he won 3 of them and finished in the top 5 in all the others (Michigan, Pocono, Sonoma, Dover, Charlotte)
I still can't believe they had wrecks like this back in the day that look really bad and they just walked away from from em, and then you have Dale Earnhardt's crash that didn't look bad at all.
Correct I've seen him involved in wrecks that were 100× worse & walk away I'm pretty sure there was a little more to that 1 than we know maybe a little tampering with belts by someone possibly??? Nobody can say 100% sure but there just might be 1 person out there that can
@@jaayjr2516 He ran into a solid concrete wall at nearly 200mph. The wrecks like these that "look worse" aren't necessarily as inherently dangerous due to all the safety features around the driver. Dale's neck broke because of the impact into the wall. That's all it was. He refused to wear a HANS device, and it killed him
@@wiskyr6510to add to that, sometimes the perspective of where the race is filmed from can make race cars look slower than they really are. Being there in person probably looked a lot worse than any video footage of the crash that exists.
Brandon Slay you don't like NASCAR because it's all about the money, yet you like F1, i watched part of an F1 race the other day and it's still boring as hell, give me NASCAR anyday.
uibiguibgui kbufuyifyyf not really. its the competitive part. and its way different. the cars nowadays are all the same, but back then they were all different and it was all about who had the fastest car / who drove the best.
Thank goodness I started watching NASCAR in the 80s and was able to see it's peak into the 90s. This race in particular was especially good. The start of this race is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥!!
Few remember Jimmy Spencer finished second that day, I had forgotten. I was later to learn from Kyle Petty, the correct answer to that question: Hey, who finished second in that race?, "Who Cares?"
@@GregBrownsWorldORacing Haha, then I'm sure you're familiar with the phrase "2nd place is just the first loser". Jimmy Spencer was fun to watch, though.
@@nascage That Goes without question. I really hate there was no real TV coverage of the Northern Modified tour back when he became 'Mr. Excitement' in a car roughly half the weight & 150% of the power of a Cup Car. That must have been quite a show! I hate we missed seeing that. Spencer was Kyle Busch level emotionally, He hated losing more than he enjoyed winning!
Rusty said in a recent interview that Earnhardt called him in the hospital and said "Man I swear I wasn't trying to kill ya." He said "I know that Dale. I know. Just hard racing."
So let me get this straight: If Dale tapped somebody and that somebody wrecked because of it, "That's racing," but if it was the other way around, that driver is evil and deserves to be banned from racing?
That's how it seems to be today. Whenever someone, say Ryan Blaney, spins Kyle Busch, a loud cheer would occur. If Kyle Busch spins Blaney, then many people would go on a rant about it.
My grandfather "Eli" worked the races at Bristol . Dept.sharff ...an would take me as a young boy,drags too! AW Nelson! Those are the good days... Talladega was the polar opposite of Bristol! Both were my favorites! Thanks for taking me home!
Jimmy Spencer had his best year this season with #12 driving for Bobby Allison. They were way underfunded and much of the year ran with 2 to 3 year old parts and chassis. He was just as good as Rusty and Dale just never had the equipment those two did. It is a shame that team fell apart and never got the sponsorship they needed to continue on. I believe they finished 12th in points that season. Spencer may have been the most underated driver of the 90s.
Earnhardt would always say "I didn't mean to crash em"... but he always crashed em. You can't take anything way from his talent, but the fact is that Earnhardt was not just a hard racer, he was dirty.
I was a Rusty Wallace fan during that era. He was never the same at super speedways after the 1993 season. I remember in an interview, he said his eye almost popped out of the socket at Daytona and so when he went airborne at Talladega he squeezed his eyes shut as tight as he could.
Nothing new for Earnhardt won half his races that way, miracle he never killed anyone, and just like always after the fact he comes over acting like he's concerned, no one was a bigger Rusty Wallace fan than me, well maybe my late mother, and I know they were good friends and I respect Earnhardt but he was a dirty ass driver and that's a fact.
I agree wholeheartedly. I’ve always said this about Earnhardt. The dirtiest driver I’ve ever seen. But fans love the action, so what else to dub him The Intimidator. Just a cool nickname to make him not sound dirty as he was is all that was. And as great as the racers were back then, no one ever really physically challenged him. If he were around today, I’d love to see him try that shit on someone like Kyle Bush or Logano. As hotheaded as they get, they’d kick his ass.
@@Bolt_theG35 Ricky Rudd wanted to. After a few dust ups on track Dale got to point where he avoided Rudd on the track and in the pits. Rudd was not driver to mess with.
He apologized and came around the track just to check on Rusty again. You should watch other drivers talking about Dale. He was the "most kind hearted" believe it or not.
I remember this race. Dale Sr was doing his usual "hit everyone who's near him" tactic. They interviewed after this and he was acting like he was so upset.
Well, He was actual friends with Rusty. When he almost killed Darrel that’s when they wanted to kill each other on the track so he had no concern for Darrel back then. Rusty on the other hand went fishing and hunting with IronHead and shared tactics. I met the men themselves at Bristol in the infield, respectful drivers.
This was the inspiration for Strip 'The King' Weathers's crash from the last race scene of Cars 1 where Chick Hicks crashed The King to make him crashed on the field
I loved Nascar then , I'm finished with it now . Because of one driver comes in and changes the history of this Southern sport. Nascar what the hell are you doing !!!!!!
Great move by Spencer to the inside at 00:30! Rusty about got in a wreck on the backstretch, never would have made it to the finish line to flip in this first place!
He came into this race having won 3 in a row. However his wreck was the beginning of the end of his shot at the 93 winston cup. Started a run of horrible luck. The next race at sonoma he finished 38th with transmission failure, then blew a tire and hit the wall to finish 29th in the 600, got wrecked by mark martin while leading at Dover, came home 21st, then blew an engine 4 laps into pocono for 39th. Went from 1st and 86 points ahead of Dale to 5th, and a 298 point deficit in those four races. After that only finished outta the top6 four times the rest of the season. the second Daytona and Dega races where both his primary plate cars had been destroyed in this crash and the daytona 500 crash, lost a cylinder at the glen and had a flat tire at phoenix that caused the sway bar to break. Still came up 80 points short to Big E.
It's a strange thing. If cars never wrecked, we wouldn't pay to watch. The fact that it's dangerous draws us in. Then when something does happen, it's like we all suddenly realize that there's something wrong with someone nearly getting killed for our entertainment. Then we forget all that and look forward to the next race! 😄
Exactly! When most people see an accident like this, they are amazed to see the driver walk away. What people don't understand is as the car is flipping it is dissipating energy with every flip. In the Dale Sr. crash, when he hit the wall it was a sudden stop. All the energy in that car went to the driver.
I know this is a dozen years later, but the audience was cheering while he was crashing; they obviously were not cheering because he was okay; the crash wasn't over yet. What a ridiculous interpetation.
I was 14 at this race. Right at the start/finish line. Grew up in AL but this was only real Sunday Nascar race I've ever been to. My dad took me and I got a terrible sinus headache. Does anyone else remember they almost red flagged it very close to the end because of rain? We were amongst many of the crowd that left early thinking they were going to call it. Rusty was my favorite driver. #3 was dad's. I laid down in the back of the truck and heard the wreck on the radio 😮. You can CLEARLY see #3 move over two lanes after heakes contact with #2. Seems he knew what he was doing.
man o' man! ...god, i miss BP! i remember watching this race. rusty finishing 6th after not having anything of a car left lmao... that's awesome! gotta love this old style plate racing. i hate this new crap
We were at that race… it got very quiet as I don’t think anyone thought he could escape death twice. It was very bad. Earnhardt came around and got out to go over to wreck to talk to him and no one left the stands. Just very quiet and somber.
It was a lot like this accident Wallace was on the inside he got hit. His car went into the infield grass and began flipping and twirling. That was the Daytona 500. It would be easy to confuse the two they are so much alike only the lap number would be different.
The only time that Rusty claims to have been scared by an accident (in light of his similar wreck at Daytona earlier in the year). And who can blame him?!?!? Lord almighty...
Thank Earnhardt for that one. I actually taped that race and kept the tape for years. I think this airborne crash brought in the flip up roof panels to keep cars from going airborne if I’m not wrong.
it is Talladega. Rusty Wallace had the same exact wreck just 3 months earlier in the Daytona 500.The announcer said, " very remienecent of his accident at Daytona"
Considering how far Dale fell off on that last lap, it’s no surprise he got into Rusty when he got that run! Even the booth thought he was outta gas and then bam.
"I am NOT coming in behind you again, old man!"
Chris Molyneaux yeah! It looks exactly like that crash

So let me get this straight: If Dale tapped somebody and that somebody wrecked because of it, "That's racing," but if it was the other way around, that driver is evil and deserves to be banned from racing?
That's how it seems to be today. Whenever someone, say Ryan Blaney, spins Kyle Busch, a loud cheer would occur. If Kyle Busch spins Blaney, then many people would go on a rant about it.
Dale Earnhardt and Richard Childress have been repeatedly quoted to saying that. So has Jeff Gordon, repeatedly.
Christopher Allen Didn’t Rusty admit to causing this by cutting Earnhardt off?
No Earnhardt=No NASCAR
That´s what Dale fans keep saying.
Here after Preece's flip
Dont forget king weathers 2006
The only thing that came out of that in one piece is Rusty.
Who is here after Ryan Preece’s wreck
Bob Jenkis and Benny Parsons is pure nostalgia fuel
My grandfather "Eli" worked the races at Bristol . Dept.sharff ...an would take me as a young boy,drags too! AW Nelson! Those are the good days... Talladega was the polar opposite of Bristol! Both were my favorites! Thanks for taking me home!
But he is still on sixth place.
Just like Newman I believe

Jimmy Spencer had his best year this season with #12 driving for Bobby Allison. They were way underfunded and much of the year ran with 2 to 3 year old parts and chassis. He was just as good as Rusty and Dale just never had the equipment those two did. It is a shame that team fell apart and never got the sponsorship they needed to continue on. I believe they finished 12th in points that season. Spencer may have been the most underated driver of the 90s.
1:01- 1:10
ONE OF THE GREATEST calls in the history of nascar!
One of the DIRTIEST drivers in NASCAR history... Dale Earnhardt
clmco36
no he isn't
funbus
Yes, he was.
jstrahan2
no, he wasn't

Yes, he was. :)
Anything that flies that far oughta have a damned stewardess on it
hilarious
I'm sure Rusty requested a cold draft
662wc Yea, with an in Flight dinner & Beer🍺 👍
Yeah, with the name Teresa Earnhardt
He made a call to his car insurance agent while he was flying.
Earnhardt would always say "I didn't mean to crash em"... but he always crashed em. You can't take anything way from his talent, but the fact is that Earnhardt was not just a hard racer, he was dirty.
The dirtiest driver ever and the worst sport....next to the Allison's, iron hack was the mouthiest POS in NASCAR
Agreed
Yep, but NASCAR hasn't been the same without the Earnhardt's. I rarely bother watching anymore.
@@condorc72 Stop whining, you wussy
Yup big time
That crash looks like The King's crash from Cars the movie

Live By The Sword Die By The Sword - Buddy Baker
Oscar Jimenez, Sr, Buddy Baker was quoting Jesus Christ, which was normal for those road devils. 😆
I was a Rusty Wallace fan during that era. He was never the same at super speedways after the 1993 season. I remember in an interview, he said his eye almost popped out of the socket at Daytona and so when he went airborne at Talladega he squeezed his eyes shut as tight as he could.
Not many drivers can wreck like that twice in one season and still win 10 races
Wow! A wild finish to end the race
12 years old that year. My dad and I were about 10 rows up, just passed the finish line.
Man I was too young to appreciate Nascar back then. The sport ain't the same now.
Nothing new for Earnhardt won half his races that way, miracle he never killed anyone, and just like always after the fact he comes over acting like he's concerned, no one was a bigger Rusty Wallace fan than me, well maybe my late mother, and I know they were good friends and I respect Earnhardt but he was a dirty ass driver and that's a fact.
I agree wholeheartedly. I’ve always said this about Earnhardt. The dirtiest driver I’ve ever seen. But fans love the action, so what else to dub him The Intimidator. Just a cool nickname to make him not sound dirty as he was is all that was. And as great as the racers were back then, no one ever really physically challenged him. If he were around today, I’d love to see him try that shit on someone like Kyle Bush or Logano. As hotheaded as they get, they’d kick his ass.
Yes, watch Earnhardt's car go hard to the right as soon as Wallace's car comes off his bumper. Wrecked him intentionally.
@@Bolt_theG35 Ricky Rudd wanted to. After a few dust ups on track Dale got to point where he avoided Rudd on the track and in the pits. Rudd was not driver to mess with.
Earnhardt never messed with Spencer
@@packisbetter90 because he knew Spencer wouldn't put up with his BS that's why.....
i never realised how badass these cars sounded
Looks like the crash scene on the movie "Cars"!
Robert Torres xd
Yeah, but there is way more than three cars on the track.
+Tony Marine How old are you?
+Steve L Dude, I'm not looking for trouble. I just made an observation, that's all.
Sorry, I was just bustin' your ass. I should have added 'LOL!'
This was the wildest barrel roll ever until Mr. Preece topped it last Sunday.
One thing about the intimidator, he would rather kill his friends rather than finish behind them. Then act like it's just racing.
That's Nascar for ya
He apologized and came around the track just to check on Rusty again. You should watch other drivers talking about Dale. He was the "most kind hearted" believe it or not.
Dale didn't mean to turn him here
I jus meant to rattle his cage that's all
@@Roystothecoolkid Just rattle his cage I guess.
I used to love watching NASCAR and Indycar on Sky Sports over here in the UK in the early 90s. Davey Allison🙏RIP was my favourite driver
This is the one call that stands out to me the most. May he RIP
I remember this race. Dale Sr was doing his usual "hit everyone who's near him" tactic. They interviewed after this and he was acting like he was so upset.
Well, He was actual friends with Rusty. When he almost killed Darrel that’s when they wanted to kill each other on the track so he had no concern for Darrel back then. Rusty on the other hand went fishing and hunting with IronHead and shared tactics. I met the men themselves at Bristol in the infield, respectful drivers.
He wasnt acting at all sir
This was the inspiration for Strip 'The King' Weathers's crash from the last race scene of Cars 1 where Chick Hicks crashed The King to make him crashed on the field
I loved Nascar then , I'm finished with it now . Because of one driver comes in and changes the history of this Southern sport. Nascar what the hell are you doing !!!!!!
I can’t tell if this is racist or not. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@@stephenquinna8811 no, it's sexist, "Come on, man!"

Man those were the gods good old days. Thx fo showing. Bunch of old ladies t day
1:02: “I am not coming in behind you again, old man!”
I was at this race, man I didn't think Rusty would walk away from this one! I seen it being hauled on the rollback, it was destroyed...
The same crash as the king from cars🥺🥺
Great move by Spencer to the inside at 00:30! Rusty about got in a wreck on the backstretch, never would have made it to the finish line to flip in this first place!
Ryan Preece just did this.
When Dale went back around to check on Rusty, I became a fan
He came into this race having won 3 in a row. However his wreck was the beginning of the end of his shot at the 93 winston cup. Started a run of horrible luck. The next race at sonoma he finished 38th with transmission failure, then blew a tire and hit the wall to finish 29th in the 600, got wrecked by mark martin while leading at Dover, came home 21st, then blew an engine 4 laps into pocono for 39th. Went from 1st and 86 points ahead of Dale to 5th, and a 298 point deficit in those four races. After that only finished outta the top6 four times the rest of the season. the second Daytona and Dega races where both his primary plate cars had been destroyed in this crash and the daytona 500 crash, lost a cylinder at the glen and had a flat tire at phoenix that caused the sway bar to break. Still came up 80 points short to Big E.
Geoff Bodine crash, Daytona - truck series - Feb. 18, 2000. Thought I saw a man die. Dudes one tuff guy and lucky!
It's a strange thing. If cars never wrecked, we wouldn't pay to watch. The fact that it's dangerous draws us in. Then when something does happen, it's like we all suddenly realize that there's something wrong with someone nearly getting killed for our entertainment.
Then we forget all that and look forward to the next race! 😄
Exactly! When most people see an accident like this, they are amazed to see the driver walk away. What people don't understand is as the car is flipping it is dissipating energy with every flip. In the Dale Sr. crash, when he hit the wall it was a sudden stop. All the energy in that car went to the driver.
Karma kills.
WE MAKIN IT OUTA RADIATOR SPRINGS WITH THIS ONE BOIS
That's why Rusty was my favorite driver, he was either winning or crashing!
Whinning or crashing is more like it.
Before the crash, that was Nascar racing we all loved, back in the day
I know this is a dozen years later, but the audience was cheering while he was crashing; they obviously were not cheering because he was okay; the crash wasn't over yet. What a ridiculous interpetation.
Dale always felt really bad about wrecking people on purpose. Really bad until he cashed his checks.
Yeah right. That's BS. Like Earnhardt's wins. Anybody can spin out and wreck cars to a win.
Um
@@marksark1119 I’m a Earnhardt fan, I understand why you don’t like ol Ironhead but leave the man alone, he’s dead and he took the sport with him.
@@marksark1119rubbing is racing princess a real man does anything to win a coward doesn't do what is needed
Earnhardt was a dirty driver his entire career
The good ole days. All these years later and I found myself saying “Let’s go Mark, Let’s go”. Gosh I used to love it.
Yep..good ole days
Well, a grumpy old car once told me
It’s just an empty cup
I was 14 at this race. Right at the start/finish line. Grew up in AL but this was only real Sunday Nascar race I've ever been to. My dad took me and I got a terrible sinus headache. Does anyone else remember they almost red flagged it very close to the end because of rain? We were amongst many of the crowd that left early thinking they were going to call it. Rusty was my favorite driver. #3 was dad's. I laid down in the back of the truck and heard the wreck on the radio 😮. You can CLEARLY see #3 move over two lanes after heakes contact with #2. Seems he knew what he was doing.
man o' man! ...god, i miss BP! i remember watching this race. rusty finishing 6th after not having anything of a car left lmao... that's awesome! gotta love this old style plate racing. i hate this new crap
We were at that race… it got very quiet as I don’t think anyone thought he could escape death twice. It was very bad. Earnhardt came around and got out to go over to wreck to talk to him and no one left the stands. Just very quiet and somber.
Now that’s when NASCR racing was racing. Drivers today would cry like little girls if that happened to them. These were real men racers.
This is a completely dead and unfunny meme, but ok boomer
Ok boomer.
@@ScootyPuffJrSuxhe's right the drivers today are panzys
This is no longer the most recent instance of a driver flipping a car twice in one season.

@@GraveDigger35 , BULLSHIT
reminisce: to talk, think, or write about things that happened in the past
"very reminiscent of his accident at Daytona"
It was a lot like this accident Wallace was on the inside he got hit. His car went into the infield grass and began flipping and twirling. That was the Daytona 500. It would be easy to confuse the two they are so much alike only the lap number would be different.
The only time that Rusty claims to have been scared by an accident (in light of his similar wreck at Daytona earlier in the year). And who can blame him?!?!? Lord almighty...
I remember watching this on live TV
Thank Earnhardt for that one. I actually taped that race and kept the tape for years. I think this airborne crash brought in the flip up roof panels to keep cars from going airborne if I’m not wrong.
Your right and guess who invited it Rusty did. Go figure
The pop ups just behind the hood came first, then the roof flaps a few months after.
@@sammyweed4771 Nope.
@@michaelchadwick3497 yes he did
@@sammyweed4771 Jack Rousch..
it is Talladega. Rusty Wallace had the same exact wreck just 3 months earlier in the Daytona 500.The announcer said, " very remienecent of his accident at Daytona"
This inspired me to watch Cars.
Considering how far Dale fell off on that last lap, it’s no surprise he got into Rusty when he got that run! Even the booth thought he was outta gas and then bam.
Glad Rusty was o.k...Loved "swervin' Ervin",one of my favorite drivers...
Gee, you'd think you'd at least spell his name right if he was a favorite of yours
Jenkins, Parsons, and Jarrett calling the race. Man, miss those days!
"crash and bash" #3 does it again.
