But hindsight is 20/20 and I’ve noticed almost all Dale’s lifetime fans have a deep respect for Jeff now. Kind of the whole thing with Jimmie as well.

Gosh, Jeff was my driver cause I really really liked his car when I was a kid. The amount of times when I would see him get wrecked after running a great race was heartbreaking.

“Anytime I hear Jeff Gordon’s name it’s in an accident”. Well…..you’re sorta right. Jeff basically either won the race, or crashed out for his whole damn career lol. What sucked about it is that he was so often involved in accidents, but hardly ANY of them were his fault or he could do nothing about it. He just got extremely unlucky. But boy did he make the most out of the times when he wasn’t getting unlucky. He’s one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time. 93 wins in total. Third all-time behind Richard Petty (200), and David Pearson (105), but first in what’s considered the sports modern era (1972-present). And he did it in a time where car standardization was really becoming cracked down on, so it became much harder for a single driver to dominate. I’m not gonna say Richard Petty wasn’t an amazing driver, but it’s well known his car wasn’t exactly in the same league as the rest of the field most of the time. Gordon also won the Daytona 500 3 times, which is high, and has won the brickyard 400 at Indy a record 5 times. He’s won the cup championship 4 times which is good for solo 4th while the top 3 all have 7. He’s raced in 805 races in his NASCAR career, and over HALF of them he’s finished top 10 (477). He also holds the record for the most wins at restrictor plate tracks (12) and road courses (9). And has the record for most consecutive road course wins (6). He’s the winningest driver at the following tracks. Indy (5), Kansas (3, but tied with Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick), Pocono (6, tied with Denny Hamlin), and Sonoma (5). Also, since his first NASCAR race debut at Atlanta in 1992, he never missed a race for 797 races over 24 seasons making him the current NASCAR iron man having started the most consecutive races in a row in history. Kevin Harvick is closing in though, currently at 725.

The Geoff Bodine wreck at 8:50 never gets any less crazy. The announcers were sure he was dead, you could hear it in their voices. The car was shredded to pieces but it did it's job and saved his life.

10:35 BTW, the driver of the #3 car, Austin Dillon, got out of that car and walked away without a scratch. It's worth noting that the crashes with all the tumbles and flips tend to be the "easier" ones because the energy is dispersed in a number of smaller hits. The last fatal crash in Cup was in 2001 with Dale Earnhardt, and honestly, his crash looks like a nothingburger. He just got turned across the front of another car into a 60-degree impact with the outside wall at 180 mph. No flips, no fire, no tumbles, nothing spectacular. But it killed him due to his head getting snapped forward. That's why they wear head-and-neck restraints now.

Speed depends on the track. On smaller tracks, maybe a maximum of 100 to 160 mph; on the fastest ovals they will be doing around 200-205 mph at the ends of the straightaways and maybe 170 in the turns. At Daytona and Talladega (the two largest tracks, 2.5 and 2.66 miles long respectively) they limit the cars' power with "restrictor plates" in the engines that keep their top speed to about 190 mph. Without the restrictor plates, they'd probably be capable of 220+ mph which are very close to Indycar speeds. The downside to restrictor plates is that because of aerodynamics, it causes them to run in huge packs very close together, so if somebody near the front of the pack gets turned around, it is guaranteed to cause a massive pileup usually called a "Big One." BTW, these cars weigh around 3500 pounds (1600 kg). They are NOT light, they are big and heavy. And they are very safe. None of those wrecks are fatal, the top NASCAR series have not had a fatality since 2001. There have been injuries, but no fatalities. The cars are structurally tough and very well-designed for safety. Plus the walls at almost all tracks now, instead of being concrete, are "SAFER barriers" which are made of steel and energy-absorbing construction and designed to give a bit when impacted. I think the only crash that had serious injury was the Geoffrey Bodine truck crash at 8:50 when he got launched into the catch fence and it cheese-gratered his truck apart. And even then, he recovered and raced again.

The reason that the crashes look so bad is because the cars are designed to break apart like that to absorb energy. It's a technology that modern cars have been using since the early 00's

Its funny how every time he says jeff gordon the next clip is jeff gordon 😂

The technology involved in the walls is actually fascinating, and might be one of the greatest feats of engineering in the past century. After Dale Earnhardt was killed in 2001, the sport went into overdrive in terms of safety developments, and they developed what's called a SAFER Barrier, which stands for Steel and Foam Energy Reduction Barrier. The barrier itself is steel, and high density foam separates it from the existing concrete barrier. It's designed to absorb a significant amount of kinetic energy from contact, and is now used at literally every high speed oval track in the country. Nobody has died in NASCAR since it was implemented.

Also worthy note, the Car of Tomorrow was largely centered around driver safety and the HANS device for head protection became required for all drivers (a possible reason for why Dale Sr died was likely because he refused to wear it, his cause of death was a Basilar Skull Fracture after all.)

The speed depends on the track size. If it's a short track like Richmond or Bristol, it'll be around 110-130 mph. If it's a superspeedway like Daytona or Talladega, it'll be around 190-200 mph. Also, M&Ms is only leaving NASCAR this year after being there since the mid-90s with Ken Schrader to start and Kyle Busch since 2008. Edit: On the Edwards-Keselowski Gateway incident, that is legal in NASCAR. The bulkier size makes that legal unless it's blatantly reckless. And yes, Geoff Bodine did survive that Truck Series wreck. There's an insanely good video chronicling how ahead of his time Bodine was with safety measures.

As a brit attending his first NASCAR race and being at the the Daytona 400 in 2015 (the final crash of this video). It amazes me that the drivers were able to walk away from this crash. Its something I'll never forget.

"Rasty woolace. Get that man sum wd fordy" 🤣 bro I love it. I'm subscribing right meow

NASCAR is the only motorsport that you don’t get even worried about someone being killed in accident. It’s amazing how this sport has come in the long way. One love from Philippines bro. Keep it up!

"Rusty Wallace - Get that man some WD-40!" 🤣🤣🤣

It's funny that your only exposure to Jeff Gordon is through crash videos. He's actually one of the greatest race car drivers to ever live. 4 NASCAR Cup championships and 93 wins putting him 3rd on the all-time wins list only behind Richard Petty and David Pearson. He's also won the Rolex 24, one of the most prestigious races in the world, and once did a Formula 1 ride swap with Juan Pablo Montoya at Indianapolis and put down some very impressive laps. The thing about him is when you have a 23 year career where you never miss a single race, you are bound to be in a few major wrecks. Especially considering Jeff was extremely unlucky in terms of crashes. Anytime he wrecked, he never wrecked softly. It was almost always a brutal or bizarre crash. So while he didn't really wreck all that often, every time he did it ended up on a highlight reel. It's also really interesting that one of Jeff's most underappreciated skills was wreck avoidance. He has pulled off some of the most unbelievable escapes you'll ever see, they're just never talked about because people never talk about wreck avoidances.

Haha - love Adam's responses to Jeff Gordon. I was never a huge fan of Nascar, but I was aware of it. I loved Jeff Gordon when he came up as a 20 year old or so in a sport dominated by 50 year olds. He was super aggressive and changed the way ovals were attacked forever IMO. After he established himself - with a ton of resistance by old-school fans and drivers btw, we started seeing more young drivers in the early '00s. Now it's a common thing to see drivers under 30. They should thank Gordon for advancing the sport and making it better. That's just my opinion of course.

Love you Adam 😍 💗 you're a LEGEND of reactions. Love how you zoned out for a moment then the next clip appeared and startled you almost out of your chair 🤣 please do more of these xoxo stay well 😘

9:38 That was Geoff Bodine. If my math holds up, he recovered from his (fairly serious) injuries in about 2 months and got right back in his... well, a new truck :)

Just so you know Jeff Gordon is one of the best nascar drivers ever, and won several championships, you should watch a video about Gordon. They are driving around 180 to 200 mph, smaller tracks between 100 to 160 mph

Jeff Gordon is one of the all time greats in NASCAR!

You have to remember that the NASCAR chassis is built like a tank inside. In the older days, you were allowed to repair a car after a crash and reenter the race as long as you could maintain a minimum speed. Cars would go back on track with half the body missing.

Have you ever seen the Austin Dillon crash at Daytona in 2015 I believe? And what makes is sad is some back detail. Dale Earnhardt, former driver of the number 3, died at Daytona on a wreck on the final lap. And his own son, Dale Jr, had raced in that race and experienced his death on the track. So when Austin Dillon joined the sport, he asked Jr if it was fine if he joined NASCAR if he could use the number, in which Jr let him. But I can’t imagine the PTSD Dale had with this wreck, knowing that is was the same number, same lap, and same track which killed his father. It really is sad, and thank god Austin was alright.

3:40 was Steve Park, one of the unluckiest drivers ever. Had his career cut short because of constant injury including brain damage, if I recall

3 things. 1. No NASCAR related deaths have occured since 2001. 2. m&m's have a car but are leaving NASCAR at the end of the year. 3. Jeff Gordon was one of the top drivers, just when you race in NASCAR it's near impossible to not wreck a couple times in your career.

All people in this video are ok. Many safety changes happen after big wrecks like these ones to make it even safer. Believe it or not these guys are walking away and having dinner with the family that night. Great video. Keep them coming.

Keep up the good work brotha!!! Love laughin to your videos

There are four major national racing series which include the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series

"Rusty Wallace....get that man some Wd40" You killed me with that!

In 2015 at Daytona during the opening Xfinity race of the season, Kyle Bush suffered a compound fracture of his right leg and broke his left ankle after running head first into the inside retaining wall. He underwent surgeries and it was not known if he would even walk again. He missed 11 races while recovering and after returning won 5 of the remaining Sprint Cup races of the season and the 2015 Sprint Cup Championship. The last fatality in NASCAR was Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s death in the final turn of the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. He hit the wall at a 55 degree angle at approximately 160 MPH. He died instantly of a basil skull fracture and blunt force trauma to the head. At that time, he was wearing an open faced helmet, which are no longer allowed, and was not wearing any head and neck restraints, which were not mandatory at that time.

the last deadly crash in nascar was in 2001 with Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona 500 he was the legend of nascar

Jeff Gordon has the third most wins in the entire sport with 93. He also has 4 championships. He arguably one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history

These tracks used to have concrete walls but now have what’s called SAFER barriers. They’re basically two walls with a foam core. The foam absorbs a lot of the impact so the car/driver don’t end up pancaked.

Wicked hits. The cars are incredibly safe, but people still get hurt, and yes die. The worst are the hits that fly up into the catch fence - shrapnel flies into the audience. The Trucks you spotted are a lower tier series. Basically a training ground for drivers as they advance to the cup level. There are basically 3 main tiers, but sometimes drivers come from other race organization like Indy or F1. Trucks 3rd, 2nd tier series are cars similar, but lower powered than cup, and 1st tier are the Cup cars. (Every time you hear Jeff Gordon's name you're seeing Cup cars) Jeff was an amazing driver, he won A TON of races, multiple time Champion. Jeff's car was sponsored by Dupont Chemicals, and their logo was a rainbow. Jeff and his team became known as the Rainbow Warriors. (I will say, it was the mid 1990s, before anything rainbow was associated with "Gay Pride".) Truly one of the best to ever do it. Many of his crashes were someone else's fault, wrong place wrong time stuff, and he'd get taken out. Jimmie Johnson also one of the best ever, more championships than Jeff Gordon I think. Jeff had 5, Jimmie 6? something like that. I'd love to see Jeff react to this video, I know he'd crack up hearing "Someone get Jeff Gordon off the track!" He's joined the Nascar broadcast team since he retired as a driver.

As a jackman, these cars are very strong and some of the safest in the world which is why a Nascar driver hadn't died during a race since Dale Sr. in 2001.

“Nobody wants a crash” my man..this is Nascar. we ALL want a wreck to happen haha

This video is 9 months old but none of these crashes were fatal. There have been 29 driver fatalities in NASCAR events since 1952 covering races, qualifying, and even tire tests. Ten of those 29 have occurred from 1980 to just after the turn of the century. The average was 1 death every two years and the average was roughly the reality as well with the two largest gaps being just over 6 years ('57-'64 and '94-'00). One of the saddest fatalities occurred on February 2001, when NASCAR lost an icon -- a fan favorite and popular driver named Dale Earnhardt. After that death, NASCAR went HARD on more safety including upgrading catch-fencing around the track to protect fans, installing "safer-barriers" around the track which cushion a lot of impact from wall collisions and mandating upgraded safety gear, practices, and car modifications. The organization has not taken their foot off the gas with these rules and regulations. With an average of 1 death every 2 years before the loss of Earnhardt's, NASCAR has yet to experience another fatality in the following 22 years. That is amazing and a testament to their commitment.

Whenever you say “look at that car” all I can think is “that’s not a car anymore 😅”

Answering the question of Safety, NASCAR has been surprisingly safe for a long period of time now and it's in large part because the sport lost its greatest competitor. The last NASCAR driver to die in a crash was 7x Champion Dale Earnhardt Sr, from what appeared to be a rather standard crash at Daytona. He was attempted to slow the pack down so that his son Dale Jr. and a driver on the team he owned Michael Waltrip could finish the race without any fear of anyone running up behind them. After Sr. died, NASCAR implemented the 'Car of Tomorrow' regulations which made stock car racing much safer. There are still injuries, broken bones and concussions are common even with the solid chasis and HANS device. But NASCAR is one of the safest racing bodies in the world currently.

“Surely they have M&M’s in NASCAR” Not anymore Adam…not anymore

Dude Jeff Gordon is one of the best drivers in NASCAR history... 4x Champion, I believe 88 overall wins. Had a season when he won 13 races in one season.

These drivers are approaching 200mph some of the most incredible drivers.

Had me cracking up over the jeff gordan talk lmao

Climbing into one of these cars is like climbing into a custom fit suit. The seats are molded to the drivers bodies, they have 5 point harnesses that keep them from flopping around, Neck braces that keep their head for doing likewise, as well as a "Hans"? device that absorbs the energy of the impact and keeps their heads from pitching forward violently in a crash (which is what killed Earnhardt Sr.) There are also straps on their fire suits arms that keep them from flying around in a crash as well. The entire car is one big roll cage with a body over it. And every bar is engineered to provide maximum energy absorption without intruding into the driver area. Its a LOT safer today than it used to be back when it was literally "Stock" cars , and a lot safer than it looks.

"Rusty Wallace... get that man sum WD40" This guy is hilarious Also the video is made by NFJJ, and the wreck you were talking about at 9:39 was not fatal.

This sport has become the safest among of racing honestly since 2001 it's incredible

Even in recent memory, you got 2020 Ryan Newman Daytona 500 getting hit while upside down on the drivers side, Kurt Busch 2020 Talledega and catching some air, 2021 Joey Legano Talledega flip, 2021 Coke 400 Last lap crash, 2022 Burton Daytona 500 flip, 2022 Myatt Snider catch fence crash, 2021 COTA Martin Truex Jr, 2022 Ross Chastain using Kyle Busch as a ramp at the Texas ASSstar race, and lastnights Chris Buescher Coke 600 barrel roll

NASCAR has the most violent wrecks of any racing league yet has one of the fewest deaths.

I was actually frightened by the idea that Ryan Newman's crash at Daytona 2020 would be a repeat of Dale Earnheardt's accident

That last one #3 Austin Dillon, whats left of it is in a museum near me. Looks bad, but look inside at the roll cage, its barely bent. Most of the time they get the wind knocked out and some bruises.

The truck crash that had you worried for the driver's life, he did survive, barely. The tumbling of the cars, as bad as it looks, is a good thing. It dissipates the energy.

4:51 "Oh my God, bro." Irish guy turns into a Valley Girl.😁🙃

The New "Safer Barriers" they have up (the white walls that look like they are doubled) are 2 different areas of welded tubular metal box pipes with absorbent foam wedges between. They do a heck of a great job of absorbing the energy of a crash. And developed not to far from where I live!

The cars are basically made to disintegrate above a certain threshold during a wreck. It bleeds off stored kinetic energy as the chassis around the drivers cocoon comes away and lowers the chance of catastrophic injury or death.

The race most certainly continues. If a car is knocked out the driver gets a DNF, you can only race 1 car at an event. Restarts almost never happen, a race is either cancelled or it just ends in the middle if unable to continue (most commonly for rain)

that Geoff Bodine 2000 crash is always gonna be the scariest non fatal crash ever. and no, he didnt get out unscathed, he was burned and hurt pretty badly but he recovered.

It’s more than just a roll cage. It’s the way the walls are built and the HANS Device. It’s also a special seat insert that molds to their body.

The reason the cars seem to fall apart is because they're designed to strategically absorb the impacts and lessen the danger to the driver. The cars have what they call crumble zones which are primarily in the front and rear

I watch Nascar every weekend and since February 2001 there have not been any nascar deaths because of the safety improvements nascar has made to the cars and the tracks

They are going upwards of 200mph. And they fact that the name that always gets said is Jeff Gordon makes it that much funnier to watch you yell at his car.

"So what happens? Does the race continue? Surely they have to restart?" NASCAR has thought this one through really well. When there's a wreck, they do what's called "throwing a caution" (that's what the word "caution" at the top of the screen means). At that point, several things happen: the flagman in the flag stand at the start/finish line waves a yellow flag, and yellow lights come on at several points around the track; both of these are designed to alert drivers to the caution. The running order of the field gets frozen at the moment the caution lights come on, and drivers must reduce their speed to a predefined speed limit (exact speed varies depending on the track) and follow the pace car around the track; the pace car always goes precisely the speed limit set for the track. Simultaneously with the caution being thrown, highly-trained emergency response crews are dispatched to the scene of the accident to assist drivers out of their cars and escort them to the infield care center, which is a small hospital in the track's infield that can help with light injuries. In the event of a serious injury, there's a helicopter near the care center which can take any injured drivers to the nearest hospital; in fact, NASCAR tracks are required to be located near a hospital specifically in the event of an emergency. As the drivers are being helped from their cars and into the ambulances (a requirement after a hard crash), wrecker crews also come out and tow away any cars that need it. Meanwhile, the pit road - where cars go to have their tires changed, fuel added, etc. - is closed. That rule exists to prevent drivers from immediately and dangerously dashing down pit road to take strategic advantage of the caution period, and was one of a few rule changes implemented after the 1990 Atlanta 500, in which a crew member sadly lost his life in a pit road accident. While you can still make a pit stop while pit road is closed, you'll lose your position and have to take the restart from the back of the queue. Pit road stays closed for one full lap under caution and then opens again for teams to service their cars as needed. Once the track is clear and NASCAR has certified that it's safe to race again, the flagman will give the "one to go" signal, and the pace car will turn its strobe lights off to indicate that there's one lap left before racing resumes. This is when drivers take their assigned places on the grid. Cars form up side-by-side for the restart while NASCAR gives the track one last quick look-over to ensure there's nothing else that needs to be done to make the track safe again. On the extremely rare occasion that there is, they'll abort the start and extend the caution period until it's safe to race again. But if it's deemed safe, then off they go!

The cars are 3,800 lbs and at tracks like Daytona and Talladega can hit +200mph. The cars may turn to shit following a wreck. But, that’s a good thing. The cars absorb and dissipate energy. Redirecting it away from the driver. It’s a car. Who cares! They have plenty of others. There’s only one driver. Protect them. Sacrifice the car. Love your videos and your genuine and honest reaction to the content.

0:04 That silhuette in the back looks like a race track layout. Someone, make a racing circuit like Adam's silhouette!

Anyone notice the guy in the black clothes at 8:55 slowly 🐌 walking from the fence. That guy didn't move as it happen. I'm impress!

As a solid NASCAR fan, it is sad to see a non NASCAR fan to say 4 time champion Jeff Gordon is bad😂😭

To answer the question of what do you do if you're in a wreck, you let go. If you try holding onto a steering wheel of a car that's being wrecked at 150mph plus, it'll break your wrists. So, you let go, and talk to whatever higher power you believe in until it's over. Also, hit the breaks.

M & M and all the other company names and logos are sponsors. The sponsors basically fund the racer and his team for displaying their name and logo.

the speed of the cars never goes beyond 190-200 mph, but it does depend heavily on what track they’re racing at

love your reactions

Fact is Jeff Gordon only flipped his car once in his whole nascar career but had bunch of hard bad accidents in his career where he missed safe barriers so Nascar had to add extra safe barriers that they didn’t add on the wall cuz of Jeff.

If you want to see another wicked wreck in a truck, you should watch Austin Theriault's massive collision with the wall. Hit the wall so hard the front axle dislodged and was pushed back so far that the truck was skidding on its rear paneling and wheels. Not only that, but his head and neck device failed and he was knocked out by the impact. Probably the closest we have ever been to a modern death in the truck series.

As a nascar fan, Jeff Gordon retired in 2015. Also depending on the track, they can go between 30-200 miles per hour

The modern wall is super strong. It's called a SAFER barrier. Its 3 parts. It. Stands for steel and foam energy reduction. It absorbs an insane amount of energy from an impact. It's a steel wall then a bunch of foam triangles then concrete. Since its implementation wall impacts have been far less damaging to the drivers

To answer your question at 1:50. (This for all three series in nascar) So basically it depends on the track bc like some of them are small like Martinsville, Bristol, New Hampshire, Richmond, etc they’ll most likely 130-180 mph at the most but they’ll go a lot faster on bigger tracks like Daytona and Talladega they go 190 to a little over 200 mph

Yes that guy was okay. Nascar hasn’t had a fatal wreck since 2001

You should check out the Haas drivers in F-1 drove NASCAR cars at Charlotte. It was a test and they took the car for a few laps. Fun to watch.

As far as I know of none of these were fatal.... We haven't lost a driver in nascar since Dale Earnhardt senior in 2001.... Every time someone dies or gets hurt really badly we make more safety changes so It doesn't happen again.... Yes they do get hurt but surprisingly it's rare .... They go anywhere between 150 mph and 220 mph depending on the track... Daytona and Talladega are closer to 220 mph.... A recommendation for you to react to is the Austin Dillon wreck in 2015 from every angle.... And no one died in that one Loved your reaction 💖

The idea of the car is to crumble on impact. The cockpit area is very safe, and body around it is supposed to buckle up to absorb the impact forces. So basically you sacrifice the car to save the driver.

The only reason I watch NASCAR is to hear the NYOOM NYOOM from the corner camera.

8:52 This crash about damn near killed Geoff Bodine. He had broken bones in his face, right arm, had busted ribs and a vertebrae fracture. He only missed 10 races.

The reason the cars look so mangled is because they are designed to fall apart on impact to dissipate the force of the accident to keep the drivers safe
