Earnhardt didn't like it when Jerry Punch brought up his Dad in that post race interview.

1994 was a tough year for motorsport Worldwide, two fatalities in F1, two in this one event, numerous big accidents and incidents of drivers getting hurt

Noticed something humorous towards the end when Sterling Marlin was about to take his cap off in Victory Lane before deciding against it (must have been worrying about dislodging his rug)

Thank you for this. I think sometimes we forget just how dangerous this sport is. Thank God for all the safety innovations since Earnhardt's death in 2001. I didn't become a fan until 1997 so I have no memories of the 1994 season but this was a great mini documentary.

This is a really good video it should be aired on T.V. It really shows how everything went down in detail.

I was 10 years old in 1994. I was (still am and always will be) a huge Rusty Wallace fan and had been for a few years before 1994. You could always tell that Rusty was never comfortable in these races and that's why he never really had much success at them. His speech shows a lot of that. It's a shame because poor showings at restrictor plate races did cost him a championship or two.

The more I watch old races, the more I realize those cars were like literal soapboxes. As cool as they may have seemed, they clearly had some serious handling issues. It's so crazy to see that in hindsight, how those cars would slide and skid for meters on end over almost nothing. The respect I have for all those NASCAR guys from the '90s - Schrader, Wallace, Earnhardt Sr., Rudd, and all the other race drivers like we don't see anymore, even though I respect today's drivers too, but the old ones were true badasses. i want to thank you especially; your video is absolutely fascinating. I'm so glad I was able to understand so many details about that NASCAR era. Thank you very much

Losing Neil Bonnett was a huge gut punch for Dale Sr. who at one point was over heard saying " I'll be in one of those soon enough..." referring to a coffin. Those crashes in 93 and 94 were among the most horrific in all modern motor sports. Like Rusty said, " I"ll bet everyone in this room is running a little scared..." He heard no objections to his comment. That's saying a lot considering who was sitting in that drivers meeting. Some of the toughest most bad ass drivers ever to run Nascar. I miss Sr. every day though. And the rest of them also for sure. I have a stuffy #3 car on my dash that I won in one of those claw machines. It's covered in poppies. But that's another story.

This was awesome!! Such a tragic week, with a tremendous finish.

You guys are doing great work on these videos. I hope to see many more. The roof flaps were (and are) nothing but a good thing. As I recall, Jack Roush came up with the idea. In 1994, there was no SAFER barrier (we can thank Tony George for funding its development), no HANS device (Dr. Robert Hubbard, made possible by Jim Downing), and no truly safety-oriented seats (Randy LaJoie deserves tons of credit for his contributions). Also, NASCAR did absolutely no safety testing of the cars. Its policy was to put responsibility on the teams, preferring to avoid potential liabilities. The death of Dale Earnhardt changed NASCAR's approach; they took total control of all aspects of safety. They tested cars, they required HANS devices, they deployed SAFER barriers, they required better seats, and made a whole bunch of other new rules related to safety. At the time, I was the Purchasing Manager for Racer Wholesale, and the Production Manager for G-FORCE Racing Gear, and found myself in the middle of it all.

Excellent mini doc, really kept my attention the whole time. Very well made

Wow. This was before my time, but I've always heard of this speedweeks and the turmoil and tragedy. This was an interesting and informative watch.

In Tennessee we had a bad ice storm and saw none of what happened. Heard it on a battery radio. Had no electric for 39 days. I watched winners every week and loved Neil Bonnet. Was one of a few other years 2000 and 2001. Thank you for doing this.

Great video. I miss ole Neil. Crazy it’s been 25 years.

1994 did have a lot of hype leading up to Daytona. If you were a diehard fan you just couldn't wait for that entire week to begin. Then all of the drama and tragedies happened. Very profound.

So grateful for this video. I started watching only a few years after so I completely missed this era and knew this information but didn’t KNOW the details or context. Awesome!!!

Man I miss Benny Parsons he was in my opinion the greatest Nascar broadcaster for T.V ever.Bernie was the greatest Track guy but man starting in 2007 when he was gone nobody has taken his place.

Rusty Wallace's speech was incredible. The passion he had...bravo 👏👏

Very informative video. Never knew how tragic that year's Speedweeks was, and I never knew that was the last time that many drivers attempted the 500.

Tremendous job!!!! Amazing video, thanks for all the work put into this!!!

Man this was a hell of a video. Nascar was reeling back then the roof flaps I think saved the sport from doing something drastic people forget what a brutal sport it was then.

It is so amazing how far NASCAR has come as far as safety is concerned. That is the one positive thing that can be said about NASCAR as a company.

I was a big fan of Bonnet and I never missed an episode of "Winners" on TNN. I remember arriving in Daytona 2 days after Orr was killed. It rained so much that we assumed the 125's would be postponed and it was just a coincidence that we were driving by the track 15 minutes before the start. We got in our seats just as they took the green for the first one. Three minutes after the checkered on the second one the rain began to pour and that is the way the rest of the week went weather wise. The rain would stop just before each race. I also remember that Earnhardt won everything he was in but the 500.The image of that car flipping into Lake Lloyd has stayed with me. I remember talking to a man that said he had never missed a Daytona 500 race. I got to meet Smokey Unick briefly over at a small museum. I went back the next year but I haven't returned since. I think Ned is the best announcer ever, but I am prejudiced. He drove a couple races for my dad back when he first started and I visited his shop ca 1961. Glad I stumbled on this video.

I remember watching the 94 500 I was 5 and didn't know the importance of the race have been a fan of Rusty since birth 2 was always my favorite number... Nascar needs more drivers like him for Earnhardt to shake his head yes the hole time and Schrader to also speak up shows these younger guys need veterans around to speak and show them the way... Leaves me in tears the way we lost good valuable drivers back in the day good video when my kids get older I will show them this to in lighten them on how Nascar got it's safer features

And then came 2000 too Dale Earnhardt 4 drivers in one year its hard understand why these things happen in a series like that but thank god lessons were learned and changes were made but in in 1994 till today I still dont that has fully been understood but thank god for the safety today.

Awesome video!!! Loved it. Brought back a lot of memories for me.

Very very well put together video. Managing to get all of the footage and put it together and documenting it so well. Great job all around.

Great job on this video! God Bless all of the racers who have passed on the track.

I've gotta save this video for later. Because I can tell it's gonna be a good one.

Damn, I sure do miss the IROC races

69 cars to attempt the 1994 race? My goodness...

as he said, a solid third are shitboxes made in the back of fucking barns, dipshit

So I take it that Orr had the same kind of crash that Andy Farr had in the Arca car but instead hitting with the front first he hit roof first into the wall?

was never a Rusty Wallace fan but i respect that talk he gave at the drivers meeting!

Great video! I've never seen the Andy Farr accident before & wow, how did he 'walk away' from that crash!?

The Peter Paul, John Thomas and Edward Edwards showdown was my most memorable highlight.
