An interesting story about this footage. I originally compiled it in the 90s. I knew someone who was just getting into racing and they asked me to make a tape of some of the more interesting crashes I had on my collection of races on video tape, and this was the result. The whole tape is about an hour and a half, so I'll have to split it up over several posts. This is taken directly from that tape, which was a tape-to-tape home VHS transfer, so there's no fancy editing. It's just raw footage. Most of it is from tapes I made while watching the races live. A couple are from later rebroadcasts or from year-end highlights shows. One benefit is that the audio is the original commentary. No annoying heavy metal music background to ruin the video. The races include NASCAR, ARCA and Indy Car & CART. NOTE: I originally posted this with some F1 footage, but it was taken down on F1's orders. I say F—ck F1. I haven't watched it in years and have no interest in it any more and am more than happy to include it out of any type of motor racing video I post. They can go sh—t on themselves. As an American I say they can keep their boring racing, prima donna drivers and childish politics. They don't want us and we don't care that they don't. The races on this clip are: 1.) IROC XX 1996 @ Talladega 2.) 1979 NASCAR Grand National 300 @ Daytona 3.) 1979 Daytona 500 I'm sure most of this is already somewhere on YouTube, but it won't hurt to post it again with its original race commentaries not drowned out by a musical background. & I gleefully promise there will be nothing from Formula One on any thing I ever post.

Nov 21, 2010 - If anyone's a prima donna, it's the current crop of younger NASCAR drivers who are always in a snit. "He bumped me" or "He did something I don't like" is the mindset exemplified by current NASCAR drivers, which is exactly why I stopped watching years ago. I used to love NASCAR, but I don't want to have anything to do with people who throw temper tantrums inside 800 hp race cars. I agree with you, by the way, about the snitty Eurotrash and their F1 drivers.
