thank you for sharing this what i saw of the wreck on tv shows like nothing unless if i missed more of a replay and a view of it from different angles. i now truly see why guys like mark martin and brian vickers are subbing for him right now. and dang that wreck was horrible.
@Jacob King is correct. The only difference that was in between Denny Hamlin and death was the HANS device. The HANS device in my opinion makes all the difference, because it was for all the hard hits that didn't impact SAFER barriers. It's saved many lives. Of course, SAFER barriers help a lot too.
The camera is actually a bit old now. I bought it back in 2008 when I went to the Daytona 500. It's a Sony Handycam DCR-SR45. Maybe if I ever get the money I'll buy the newer HD model.
In my opinion, I didn't notice a difference in the way they sound. I was really excited about seeing these new cars in person and I think they look great; at least when they are going slow enough to see. :-)
They go through a process to determend if it will help or hurt the drivers if they put the SAFER barrier in certain places. In this case NASCAR said they don't have SAFER barriers in that particular spot is because its not a spot that cars hit alot and if they put them in certain areas kinda like that area the car is liable to bouce of the wall and back into traffic. You want it to absorb the impact not sling shot the car back on the track like Sam Hornish did at Watkins Glen plowing into Gordon
At the time I didn't realize it was going on. Everyone was fixated on Denny Hamlin in front of us. When he climbed out of the car and went straight to the ground everyone had a pretty good idea that he was in bad shape.
Well said. Denny Hamlin has road rage issues. Hopefully he can tone his temper down a bit now but I doubt it...his next tantrum is always right around the corner.
Actually where Hamlin hit there isn't a safer barrier, if you will watch, and note how there isn't a safer barrier in the video called Hamlin: Logano wasn't going to let me win.
thatd be my answer.. its auto racing. no one ever said it was gonna be safe. f1. nascar. nhra. gt1. wrc. all of it. its gotten safer, but auto racing will NEVER be perfectly safe. and drivers are aware of that. thats what makes them heroes in the eyes of millions.
No it's not. lol. Sr. didn't slide at all really, he was on the bottom and in a sec was in the wall. And he honestly didn't hit as hard as Denny did here.
Being a Hamlin fan, this is awful to watch. What was destined to be a great year was destroyed and ended up being the worst year of his career. It's too bad because he had been racing great up to that point but wasn't getting the finishes (a trend throughout his career). Hamlin is racing well this year but doesn't have the cars. I love him but hope he doesn't win the championship. If my driver wins the championship, I want him to deserve it.
Awesome footage of one of the best races last season. Glad Denny was okay. Hope he has a good comeback season. Thanks for the upload!
It showed the #18 progress better than FOX ever did. Nice job!
This is/was impressive camera work. Thanks for posting
Awesome camera work! I haven't seen a home video capturing a crash so well like that! :-)

Great quality filming. Thanks for posting.
Wow that was a crazy view of the wreck! Awesome capture!
What type of camera did you use for this video?! Great quality! It was a great race...and i cant wait till the next one!
Really great camera work.
1 question. Are the gen 6 cars any louder than the gen 5 cars? I haven't been to a race yet this year...

You are a great filmer!

That was a hard hit into that wall...
I hope Denny will have a speedy recovery
Great video thanks for sharing
This is a great fan video here, but why did you not show the Logano/Stewart pit road post race fight?

Awesome video! Thanx!
little known fact Joey Lagano did in fact get fined for his comments after the race
Cool upload! : D
Good for you. He's a better driver than anyone in the field. Haters can hate
The engines are the same, so why would they sound different?
nice camera work
I hate seeing someone getting hurt, but Denny got what he deserved!!! Now I can only hope that Stewart gets what he deserves!!!
Thank you.
the camera move like ccm (camera control master for nr2003)
I'm surprised that Danica didn't get knocked out at Daytona!
thatd be my answer.. its auto racing. no one ever said it was gonna be safe. f1. nascar. nhra. gt1. wrc. all of it. its gotten safer, but auto racing will NEVER be perfectly safe. and drivers are aware of that. thats what makes them heroes in the eyes of millions.

NASCAR should be ashamed not demanding SAFER barrier where he crashed
i was there...gotta say the best race in Sprint Cup in a while. Sexy cars too :D

Ha.. fans videos are so much thrilling than the TV views.
Poor Denny :(
This is kinda close to how the #3 car wrecked st daytona in 2001
Good capture man, check mine out 2013 Autoclub 400, Denny Hamlin crash, from turn 4 grandstands, my view
oh my god yes they are louder than shit
Logono made him self crash
go Denny in 2014
yes ur a jeff gordon fan like me
Hot finish, thanks for the video, Hamlin deserved to wreck and miss some races
i was on my feet screaming! go kyle busch!
Glad Kyle won the race, but was very concerned about Denny Hamlin when he crashed.

@kdub882010 No need to lie.

As a Hamlin fan, this wreck still pisses me off.... But good shot ma!
