The scariest part of this entire video is Childress trying to get Austin to talk to him. That's not an owner trying to reach his driver, that's a grandfather trying to reach his grandson.

Dale Jr: "Damn man, I was about to start crying. My heart was broken" It's crazy to imagine all the emotions he went through at the end of the race.

no, austin was long passed the camera, and you can see it in the live shot, the camera man fell, and, idk if it was accidental or instinctly, pulled the camera down with him.

Every time I see a replay of that wreck, I cringe because that could have been one of the worst, if not the worst, crashes in NASCAR's history. Honestly, I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life. This is a consequence of racing. They sign up to do this and they know something like this can and will happen. As much as I love pack racing (not for the wrecks, but for the racing itself), I hate to see something like this after the finish. But, this shows the safety that has evolved in this sport. However, Dillon was lucky to have not gone into the catchfence upside down. That would have been, and I hate to say this, a fatal crash if that had happened. The catchfence did it's job, but nearly cost a drivers life. The car itself proved its worth as well. No one, and I mean no one, should walk away from a crash like that. Although I'm not a big fan of Dillon, I am glad that he was able to walk away and is going to be with us longer.

After I seen this wreck the first time when I was watching it on NBC I swear I could see a perfect vision of Dan Wheldon's crash at Las Vegas in 2011. I have never been more scared or traumatized with a wreck so severe like this. Thankful that Austin walked away from this wild and horrible crash. Hopefully the fans that were injured on that night are doing better and okay now. I hope we don't see another horrible crash like this again.

Holy crap...I saw this race live...man, I was almost crying when I saw that...shows how much safety we have these days.

these are just so epic!

It's been a month and a half. A month and a half and this wreck still gives me the chills it gave when it first happened. Hearing the drivers' concern. Hearing the fear in Richard Childress's voice trying to make sure his grandson was okay. It's just an unreal situation that unfolded. Honestly, one that I don't think will have its impact toned down any time in the near future for NASCAR. The cars, the tracks, the sport is getting safer. But, this type of crash is never going to be completely avoidable. It's a risk drivers take racing at this speed and one fans take by attending the race. Hopefully this won't happen again any time soon. Glad everyone was alright in the end.

+BottleRocket13 Watching this two months later and I get choked up. The sport will get safer due to their history of innovation, but will this type of racing get safer? Restricting the cars more will remove excitement, yet increase safety. Removing all restrictions is also a bad idea. It's a risk to race at high speeds, but it's a death wish to race at 200mph with cars all around you. One bad move, one mistake... many things happen. But yeah... this was scary nonetheless. Richard Childress got me the most emotional... behind him was Jr and how he felt towards the accident. We can only hope this doesn't happen again.

@BottleRocket11

+Michael_SK Oh yeah, the sport will do everything it can to make things as safe as possible. They've shown what they can due with their drastic and positive changes over the past 15 years alone that have, and I can guarantee this, saved many driver lives in that span since Sr's death. It's something they do surprisingly well. Unfortunately, the only thing they can do to make this type of racing safer, is to slow them down. But at the same time, I'm sure they realize that doing that to Dega and Daytona is shooting the sport in the foot. They know these are the two most watched tracks probably in the entire series because of how tight and exciting the racing gets. But, as you pointed out, that's where all of the problems stem from. One small mistake like Harvick pushing Hamlin up, then Hamlin trying to hold it straight on the point of the track where the car is lightest, can spark something. Something as big as this if they're right at the front of the pack. There's just nothing you can do to avoid it. Racing is racing after all. They've pretty well solved the issue with car turning backwards and getting air, but it's nearly impossible to stop them from launching off of another car or rolling if they're hit at the right angle and speed in the rear corner panel. It's just plain impossible if you're running faster than 150 mph really. It'll definitely be intriguing to see if they'll make any changes come next season, but I don't really see what they can do about it. They've been working on newer, safer cars since Dale Sr's death and implemented an aerodynamic package that wouldn't bump draft too much at the Super Speedways. We saw Dillon walk from a 200mph-0mph collision like nothing. The fence kept his car on the track despite the sheer force of the impact and very few fans were hurt. Really, everything did its job and did it well beyond expectations. I guess we'll see come next February!

Half the crashes you named weren't even scary? How long have you been watching the sport? Dale's crash wasn't even scary, it's was just a sad circumstance controlled by the guy above. This is definitely Top 3 of scariest crashes ever.

Even Elliot Sadler's crash. I have watched NASCAR since I've been alive (2001) the catch fence crashes don't scar my as much as head on. I was just stating my opinion

3:25 the wreck

“Austin, you alright?! “Austin, talk to us!!!!!!!” Gives me the chills every time. If that 3 car had gone upside down into the catch fence, he would’ve been trapped and not able to get out and another possible fatality in the 3 car. Retire that car, STAT!

A great thing hearing everyone's concern over that wreck. Just like Allisons and Edwards wrecks at Dega, the catch fence DID do it's job and held that car inside. Damn scary though.

0:16 you do not know what he is in for

"He stopped dead nuts in the fence." - best quote

My reaction was just "OH MY GOD" but I couldn't start yelling because it was almost 3 in the morning...Clint Bowyer's "caution" comment is gold though

That wreck with Austin was almost a complete copy of dale Earnhardt sr death (gives me the creeps cuz the both drove the #3 car

Even two years after this accident and I watch this video I'm surprised he survived.

Ok I know this comment is 2 years old, but no it wasn't almost a copy. Dale Sr. 1 O'clocked into turn 4 then got hit simultaneously, Austin flipped into a catchfence, two completely different wrecks.

Oh no, Austin Dillion’s wreck was a lot worse then sr’s had Earnhart wrecked like that in his fatal accident, he would of been mangled due to old safety features. Or lack there of

You think this is funny...?

And I knew Austin was gonna go in the catch fence because of the way Denny turned

i wacthed that wreck unfold as it went on... scared the living daylights out of then... and it STILL does scare the living daylights out of me... but man... Daytona night racing is fun to watch and one day... i'd love to experience it in person.

I agree with Joey at the end NASCAR racing is stupid

Well, that was pointed more toward the 500 he might hate racing, I don't know, but a lot of the drivers are not fans of Daytona becuse the turns are steep enough that they don't have to slow down that much at all, so that makes the crashes suck a lot more for them.

Not as stupid as F1, Rally and Indy racing....all three are way more dangerous than nascar, especially F1 and Indy with their stupid open cockpit design which has killed and or seriously injured many drivers even very recently....all in all, yes nascar is stupid but its one of the safest motorsports in the world

Then why are you here?

I swear, I saw this live on TV, and I thought I’d just seen another #3 go to Heaven. One of the scariest crashes in history. Thank God, Austin was okay.

i was at this race. that wreck happened right in front of me. i still look back at the photo i took of the destroyed catch fence and think about how lucky i am that it was able to keep debris out of the grandstands.

crazy to think that this was 5 years ago

Holy crap! The shrapnel flying at the 88 crew at 3:44...

3:21 most famous catch fence wreck and dale jr win ever

When I saw that wreck my stomach dropped. After watching it over and over time and time again, I wondered what Austin's wife was thinking.

When I see these wrecks live, they happen so fast. After I watch many replays, the real time footage appears slower.

Joke: Austin became a plane. All jokes aside, that was horrible crash. Felt the terror in Richard Childress’s voice.

I Like how dale jr's pit crew went out to help austin dillon after that terrible crash great sportsmanship.

The music used for Austin Dillon's wreck was also used in Carl Edwards's 2016 crash at Miami. God, the piano version of "Escape from Darkness" is such a mentally disturbing song due to the events it's associated with...

Damn Austin hit that fence hard! My back hurts just watching that impact. Glad he was okay.
