shaun stiles what about the other drivers who actually broke shit? Major balls to get back in a car a week later? Yeah he’s a NASCAR driver he’s supposed to.
Just because he’s “ supposed to” doesn’t mean he had too. And yeah my heart goes out to all the driver that where injured. But did they come to as close to dying as he did that day😐
@@kylebuschhasover200winsinn5 look up niki lauda and see his story, also the movie "rush" shows his story, i single handed oh believe he is the bravest man to ever set foot on the planet earth
Well, I guess if you have a crash like that, it can go one of two ways: You either hop back in the saddle immediately and carry on - or you say to yourself „I had a good run, but I’d rather step aside and not press my luck any further“ - and walk away from racing for good. Both are decisions that I can respect.
I have NEVER seen a more violent and destructive wreck in NASCAR that yielded absolutely zero injuries. God bless you Austin. You had an angel with you that night. Thank God for stringent rules!!!
I really didn't start freaking out until Dillon got hit when he was upside-down on the track. I truly believed that the catch fence had done its job, but of course I was concerned that fans in that area had been hit by debris. It wasn't until that first hit when Dillon was upside-down on the track that I started thinking that he was badly hurt.
oklet me get this straight, you saw him go from 180-0 in seconds and you werent concerned but you was kes hit him at like 60 and that scared you ? WHAT!
The car did its job, his safety equipment did its job, the catch fence did its job, and Austin was incredibly lucky. Toughness had nothing to do with it...
The part about him that’s tough is that he was ready to go back out there and race next week. A lot of guys would be too shaken up to race the next week.
The fence stripped the engine and transmission out. It landed on the output shaft, bounced and finally come to rest in flames. An incredibly violent crash and miraculously not fatal.
He just thought it was a hard crash when it happened, he wasnt shocked until he watched the replay and realized he was just in one of ,if not about the worst wreck in recent history. I know some wrecks have flipped and flopped around more but the amount of G forces he experienced is unbelievable. To stop a 3000 plus pound car only a few feet away from an impact zone going @180 MPH is just insane! I remember watching this as it happened and said to my wife, " He is dead, he just died in the #3" I am glad i was wrong
Safety has come soooooo far in racing over the past 10 years. This is a fatal injury for not just the driver but people in the crowd not to long ago and now no major injuries and he walks away. Incredible.
Dude I was like are u talking about at first, but then I got to that part and omg choked me up too man I got a brother too I could not even imagine that shit
Thank God we have safety regulations in NASCAR and that they changed the fence. I don't care what anyone says or thinks that fence did it's job so many people could have been killed because of that wreck but they didn't. Catch fences save lives, safety regulations save drivers. They go hand in hand!
Corey Marcum yeah which was a very bullshit win, like the retards who say Kyle Busch sucks even though he could pass anybody he wanted to, 201 wins, calling Jimmie Johnson trash, irrelevant, the most favorited driver in nascar.
Just shows how much he loves to race. Could've been a lethal crash and he's all like "I'll be alright I'll be ready next week". I would've shit my pants and been crying for mommy
Most were cheering cus Jr won, if you watch the vids from the crowd, as soon as people started realizing what happened the cheering stopped pretty abruptly.
So lucky it was the bottom of the car that impacted the fence. If he had gone in roof first so amount of modern safety features would have prevented a very nasty outcome.
@@cocacola150dr I think he was referring to an Arca driver in 87 I think that went into the catch fence roof first and the catch fence ripped him to shreds. He was decapitated and his helmet ended up on pit road with his head still inside. It's on TH-cam
At the end of the Race the "3" Car had a Blowover, yet there was a rain delay, AND ALMOST 10 OTHER CRASHES DURING THE RACE BUT AT THE END IT HAD TO BE THE FREAKING "3" CAR THAT HAD A FREAKING BLOWOVER AT DAYTONA WHERE DALE EARNHEARTD SENIOR DIED... What a Haunted Race, anybody agree? PLUS DALE EARNHEARTD'S SON WON THAT RACE
I'm glad to see that boy crawling out of that car.I was there when that happened and all the morons cheering was sickening, I've raced dirt tracks for over 30 years just my local track here in Florida, and I know the fans love to see cars wreck,but as a driver it puts a knot in my guts every time I see one,nascar speeds are almost double what I run but for those that have never raced let me tell you hitting a wall or catch fence at over 150 mph is a life changing feeling. and as a driver Il say this when you see a wreck ahead the last dam thing you want to do is hit that car like brad did dillon I don't care how much you fight and argue with other racers we always look out for each other,I'm just glad he walked away from that,I wish all forms of racing could be overseen by nascar far as safety
I am soooo glad he survived!!!! How did dale (Rest in peace😞) not survive but Austin survived!?! That would have been 2 x #3 R.I.P! I am so happy and wish that the tech today would have existed when dale pasted😔
He walked away but the fans up to row 26 were bloody with shrapnel. A tire and the engine wound up going through the catch fence. At least it held the car.
i live in the philippines so the crash was 4:30pmish in our country when i saw the wreck i was thinking WHAT A DRIVER WRECK AND ITS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED NASCAR LIVE?
i am pretty shure that Dale Sr. was with him at that point telling him: "Boy, you ain't done yet, not here, not this way, no way, go on and get up and go out there and race that 3 car!"
To people who think Brad is an bad person for hitting Austin, just stop. There was oil and debris all over the tri oval and Brad lost control because of it. 🤡🤡🤡
This is, in my opinion, one of the most insane endings to NASCAR since I started watching it. Even so, I can’t find ANY onboard views from the #3??? C’mon NASCAR, don’t do this to us!
thankfully everything did it's job, it wasn't pretty but it did, the car crumpled like it was supposed to, the catchfece caught the car, and the rollcage did it's job, the only thing that didn't, was the flaps failed
Has anyone considered the idea that Austin Dillon's crash could've been a Russell Phillips or Dan Wheldon type scenario had the car only rolled over halfway instead of a full rollover? If this doesn't happen, the roof of the car would've gone into the catchfence instead of the undercarriage of the car and would most likely have sheared the roof and top roll-cage off the car and either bludgeoned Dillon to death or possibly decapitated and dismembered him.
I'm glad that car landed wheels first on the catch fence . They should maybe find a mesh to put on the outside of that fence . Right now it stops cars but with a tremendous amount of force then slices the car like wood chipper .

He's a Dipshit
It was Dale' loss on that very lap at that very track with that number that would allow Austin to walk away from that. A miracle indeed

Carl Edwards blowover was pretty bad, that dude ran to the finish line after it
Don't forget Michael Waltrip's car disintegrating at Bristol in 1990
Damm the Number 3 Car that brings back some cold memories
Jakkuthe KoreanJesus they should retire that number, i think its bad luck lol
Jakkuthe KoreanJesus Yes 2/18/01
Thats probAbly why dale Earnhardt jr said he was about to stop crying
Yeah, I think it should have been retired. Enough sadness for the Number 3. Still miss the Dale Sr.
THE 3RD TIMES THE CHARM
Thought I lost my driver for a second. God was with you Austin. Glad I can still cheer for you!

More like, the safety devices were with him. 20 years ago he'd be dead, even if all the gods in the world were with him.
hunter PRO1 he could have been un buckling and not have had his body braced. Austin had no idea what was about to happen so he couldn't prepare.
your driver? wtf
Love him or hate him, Austin Dillon is one tough guy surviving a wreck like that uninjured
Nothing tough about him made him survive that wreck smh. It's not his time to go. He got very lucky yes, tough no.
It was all God!! Nothing else.
The car did its job, his safety equipment did its job, the catch fence did its job, and Austin was incredibly lucky. Toughness had nothing to do with it...
CyberAndrew I love Austin I got him from dale
The part about him that’s tough is that he was ready to go back out there and race next week. A lot of guys would be too shaken up to race the next week.
man that catch fence turns into a cheese grater for cars
yes luckily nascar has very strong cockpits, wish i could say the same for indycar, but unfortunatly many have died for that reason.
Alex Donohoe had his roof hit the catch fence instead of his wheels that day, Austin would have been dead
ask indy car they know a thing or two about killing their drivers in that fashion
supercrapnstuff11 Dan Wheldon
The fence stripped the engine and transmission out. It landed on the output shaft, bounced and finally come to rest in flames. An incredibly violent crash and miraculously not fatal.
Even in this interview you can tell he's still shocked that he survived

I remember watching this as it happened and said to my wife, " He is dead, he just died in the #3" I am glad i was wrong
I mean to be fair the interview was only a month after the incident so if I was him I would be shocked to
Number 3 is a cursed blessing, will be forever remembered Dale Earnhardt Sr
Very true that's why Dale jr say stuff because it was his dads number and wanted to know if he was ok
Very
Jr seem like the guy who would check to make sure everyone is ok. Take Steve Park's flip
And it was at the same track tl I seen the Dale Earnhardt Sr 10 year tribute video yesterday and I made a similar comment to this
The last turn of the last lap at Daytona. One a killer, sight never forgotten. Second a killer, driver untouched.
Yep I'm flying through the air. This is not good
Man what a testimony to NASCAR safety. Amazing he walked away from that.
He did the Lane Frost salute. Legend
That was Texas long horns 😅
Safety has come soooooo far in racing over the past 10 years. This is a fatal injury for not just the driver but people in the crowd not to long ago and now no major injuries and he walks away. Incredible.
Dillon drove the same number as the NASCAR legend whos sacrifice saved his life. Remember that.
Damn the brother thing choked me up. I cant imagine if that were my bro i was watchin on tv
Dude I was like are u talking about at first, but then I got to that part and omg choked me up too man I got a brother too I could not even imagine that shit

As scary as that was live, man it's cool to watch the Catch Fence work exactly as intended.
Just shows how much he loves to race. Could've been a lethal crash and he's all like "I'll be alright I'll be ready next week". I would've shit my pants and been crying for mommy
I was there for that race... SO many emotions all night!!!
Really, this footage is like a horror movie. A miracle.
This goes to show just how dangerous racing can be. God was with Austin Dillon that day and he’s still with us today.
So glad he's ok
Damn I hate seeing people cheer during a wreck when they don't know the outcome of it...

Nobody cheered you idiot
Oh bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He lost control before he hit Austin due to the debris.
I generally thought that there was going to be a second death in that #3 car when I saw it go airborne.
What a relief
That was the scariest accient after he got hit from Denny Hamlin who was spun out by Kevin Harvick who both made contact causing the big accident.

Speedy Bohlke No they actually have the car in Springfield Missouri at the Bass Pro because that’s who sponsors him and you can go up to it and see it
I am soooo glad he survived!!!! How did dale (Rest in peace😞) not survive but Austin survived!?! That would have been 2 x #3 R.I.P! I am so happy and wish that the tech today would have existed when dale pasted😔
Austin survived because NASCAR made the HANS device manditory after dale sr died.
And he wound up winning Daytona 3 years later
From near death and halfway to heaven... to winners circle.
3...
3 years later... Dale was in that car with the kid.
I don’t watch much NASCAR, but I just happened to be watching the end of the race that night. Craziest crash I have never seen live.
I might hate Austin but seeing him walking away is just unreal without any injuries.
"Brad obviously"
im glad your okay austin
This is why the roads needs to be bigger at those curves
He walked away but the fans up to row 26 were bloody with shrapnel. A tire and the engine wound up going through the catch fence. At least it held the car.
I can't believe he survived that wreck unscathed. He sure got lucky that night.
I cried I was there
When Austin said he knew he was flipping and he said this isn't good. Reminds me of Talladega Nights.
i live in the philippines so the crash was 4:30pmish in our country when i saw the wreck i was thinking WHAT A DRIVER WRECK AND ITS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED NASCAR LIVE?
TNT Cuber I'm Filipino too 🇵🇭
When I first saw the crash and saw him uninjured, I was like "how in the name of the Holy Father did he just walk away from that huge crash unhurt?!"
~That force at 180+ is really violent, may not look like it but it's enough to scramble your eggs.~
I couldn’t believe he was ok I honestly thought he was a goner. Glad he was alright. Safety built in is incredible. Good guy.
Last lap, turn 4, the #3 car.. Brings back sad memories. Glad he walked away
You could not pay me to drive no black #3, that belongs to Senior! Spooky at minimum....
I love that wave he gave
i am pretty shure that Dale Sr. was with him at that point telling him: "Boy, you ain't done yet, not here, not this way, no way, go on and get up and go out there and race that 3 car!"
"I'm flipping this is not good!"
We will talk about this moment forever

Austin Dillon is Immortal Racer. A Brave Guy. Uinjured. Specially, I said Immortal.. Hes only the one who had survived a brutal crash in 2015
I watched this wreck happen live it freaked me the fuck out it reminded me of Carl's wreck at Dega glad to see Austin get out
Wow. He has the Durability of a Champion there!
That catch fence did its job
Thank god that all race cars have roll bars
Thank god he's OK
I can't believe your body survive that crash that was bad
I was there
I just saw this for the first time. God bless you Austin. The Lord has plans for you, great plans I'm sure.
The 3 was trying to tell us they should keep it retired
Wow! Seeing a would be dead man looking normal and ready to go.
That catch fence really caught him.
Dale sr was looking out for you buddy that for shure
I think Dale Jr. got memories especially because of his number
This was the next video that showed up when I saw another video of the crash closer
anyone else think the number 3 in nascar is a cursed number?
I still understand how he didn’t die in that. That’s a miracle right there.
PAUSE THE VIDEO 0:43 - 0:44 0.03 seconds earlier and that camera man in the bottom middle of the screen could have been hurt
Austin Dillon is tough dude
He took it like a champ
Turn 4 of Daytona is more serious than a heart attack. Every race, someone’s life is altered forever on turn 4.
I remember when I was there I was shocked af I thought he was dead
1:34 speaking from experience 😞
thankfully everything did it's job, it wasn't pretty but it did, the car crumpled like it was supposed to, the catchfece caught the car, and the rollcage did it's job, the only thing that didn't, was the flaps failed
Without the restrictor plate would have been multiple fatalities.

the good thing with the number 2 car is the fact that it hit sideways and not with his engine, probs took away a lot of the hit goin at it sideways
This was a day before my birthday...
I'm glad that car landed wheels first on the catch fence . They should maybe find a mesh to put on the outside of that fence . Right now it stops cars but with a tremendous amount of force then slices the car like wood chipper .
guys if nobody knows a fan got A PIECE OF METAL in their mouth and they were taken to an hospital but he/she got realsed shortly after
The reason he survived is directly related to dale's death
He's a lucky one
I wish they could rate the g-force he endured
5 years ago today and i still think this is the worst crash ive ever seen in nascar
Sorry to inform everyone we are no longer in Kentucky
