Race Crashes, Tumbles ‘n’ Falls #3
Vid #3. I’m an auto & motorcycle race fan. Watching race strategies play out is interesting. Controversy & close calls raise the excitement. Unfortunate non-fatal crashes & tumbles add that much more life to every race. Within this video are crashes and tumbles from two NASCAR Series, Supercross, Monster Trucks, Drag Races, and a few other alternative sports from the ’80s-’90s. Retro tunes replace the original race day audio. The replacement of commentators is due to a malfunctioning VCR… Yes, VCR!!! I still have one… Ugg! The video shows face-wincing crashes and tumbles. All drivers and riders within this compellation “lived to race another day.” No gore! Some notable racers are Gary Wells, Jeff Stanton, Ricky Johnson, Jeff Ward, Mike Kiedrowski, Tommy Kendall, Jimmy Spencer, Mark Martin, Brett Bodine, Michael Waltrip, Darrel Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, and the late Dale Earnhardt. Enjoy all the “Whoops!!”
@leprechaun3361 HAHAHA!!! you stupid bastard lol. go race a motorcycle… nuff said.

Those are IMSA Camel GT Prototypes… That was at Watkins Glen in 1991. I remember it well, because I was there and wished Tommy Kendall good luck before the race. He broke both legs in that crash. Ever since then, I never wish a driver good luck before a race.
Later that year in the Cup race there, JD McDuffie died in a crash in that same turn, leading to the inner loop on the back stretch.
some of these crashes are just out of stupidity
i think they are imsa prototypes
The MX-er is Gary Wells, one very lucky guy. Gary missed the down ramp and veered into a solid concrete wall, tossing him left to the ground where he and the bike should have traveled once off the down ramp.
Gary nearly died with a torn aorta [Heart], fractures to the pelvises, and fractures to both lower legs. He fully recovered to ride again five months later. The accident was due to the down ramp being moved without his approval hours before the jump.
Gary still rides today.
The music fits this video spot on.
@C0LL1N The racer hitting the outside then inside wall viciously is Brett Bodine, brother of Geoff [Who's in the red Motorcraft fire suit at Brett's door, out from a previous crash] and current NASCAR driver Todd Bodine.
Brett is now the current Sprint Cup Series pace car driver. The owner of Brett’s green #26 Buick Regal was NHRA drag racing champion Kenny Bernstein. They teamed together for 4 years.
3:02 who was that whos car accelerates wildly and slams viciously into the inside retaining wall at daytona?
@CR250R40 How could anyone dislike the music who likes motorsports!? It’s great driving music and good American motorsport music.
2:38 how is that happened?
I’ve seen the car from Michael Waltrip’s Bristol crash; it was in the Bristol Motor Speedway Museum / Visitor’s Center / Gift Shop / Ticket Office when the building first opened. It’s hard to recognize it as a car and even harder to believe he got out unhurt. Same goes for Mike Harmon’s similar crash more recently.
the first song: Creed – My Sacrifice
and the second… I think something of AC/DC.
whats left of the mx-er at 1:30?? dead??
C’mon guys, if you don’t like the music, just turn it down. Youtube put volume control on there for more than decoration.
terrible music
just the parts with creed or whatever that stuff is
God almighty this music sucks, the compilation was well done. Honestly though…. the music sucks!
Thanks. RC will be a future project…. I love MX and miss riding dearly. I do RIDE hourly in my daydreams. Thanks again for the kind words.
i like the music
Excellent vids – all three of them!
More vintage SX and MX, please!!
I would love to see you do a tasteful collection of epic RC#4 crashes and or battles.
Scott
what are the songs i like them all and nice job i like motorcycle crashes and nascar oyhaa dude nice work
on 2:35 wat kind of race are those??…..
Thank you for the support. Honestly, thank you.
Many believe any song can be used in Youtube videos. Not the case. Copywrite laws limit what song can be and cannot be used. Youtube pulls videos within hours if Copywrite laws are broken. There are few if any usable contemporary songs. It’s either the music I have or nothing.
I wish my choice of music was pleasing to every person clicking play. Obviously it bothers most. Oh well. I like the music used. It fits the era of crash footage shown.
WOW – thanks. I like the music, too. Most dislike my choice of songs for this video. You’re one of the few that DO like the songs and I do thank you for your support. Ya made me smile. Cheers.
