The Charlotte turn 3 having no catch fence is still baffling to me

How could you forget the bus stop at the Daytona RC, where the cars go flying if they hit that dirt spot

@DanTheBoss yes it is. If they run the track, it’s a NASCAR area. Also the Daytona 500 and the Daytona RC are the same place so… your comment doesn’t make any sense

I’ve seen some weird wrecks in 15 years at MIS. Best/worst one was Mark Martin (I believe) getting skewered on a wall gap like 1/4 the way down pit road.

You need to add that one wall that

Ah the mysterious and legendary (possible) “hardest hit ever taken in NASCAR.”

That was like a wall fully supported by an earthen embarkment, right? Absolutely no give and no SAFER barrier. Someone will have to interview Elliot about that some day.

@Extra Google Account The entire engine got ripped out of the car and flew out into the middle of the track!

I think that is the closest a car came to flipping, without actually flipping.

You forgot about one part about talladega. The trioval in the bottom groove was originally supposed to be the apron so it’s banked less than the other 3 grooves

Pocono was a very dangerous track for a while there. Kasey Kahne almost going over the wall, and Elliots sadler hitting that 90 degree corner were nasty hits. Not to mention brake failures like Jeff Gordon in 06′, Jimmie Johnson in 17′ and Bubba Wallace in 18′.

Break failures are not the track’s fault though, that’s on the cars

Never knew the term ‘turtle’ for kerbs/curbs. I’ve always known them as ‘sausage kerbs’ from F1. It’ll be interesting at COTA if track limits become an issue with qualifying or the race outcome changing because a driver exceeded track limits. A common but annoying penalty in F1, but unheard of in NASCAR

Reply
Michael Skinner April 24, 2021 at 6:28 pm

I wouldn’t be surprised if nascar did the same as Indy car and basically said there was no track limits.

Sausage kerbs? Sounds like a type of food

Alec Weinert April 25, 2021 at 2:47 am

For some reason, this makes me think about the exit of turn 5 (?) at sonoma. The cars used to get so close to hitting the wall on exit.

The chicane at the Daytona RC is there so the cars don’t over rev with their 4 gears instead of the 6 I think IMSA GT Lemans and GT Daytona cars have who can make it without destroying there gearboxes.

Reply
Smoney April 27, 2021 at 3:11 pm

Charlotte did design a chicane which required slowing, the drivers just ignored it and crashed anyway. That’s on nobody but them.

@Sonny exactly. If I remember correctly it was in 2015 when a f1 driver died opposed to nascars record. Plus I don’t think that guy realizes that basically every Motorsport is dangerous and safe at the same time. Drivers are legit going 100’s of mile per hour, an accident is going to happen. Motorsports are also safer now then ever before, Grosjean, an f1 driver that races for haas, survived a massive hit against a barrier at an angle that allowed for his car to SNAP IN HALF and still survive with only burns to his hands. Grosjean hit barrier at 192 kph with 67 G force according to usatoday which if I remember correctly its pretty accurate or close enough. The person that I was talking about too I guess just forgor the fact that Ryan survived a massive hit and lived with still some minor injuries

This is the same thing that happened at IMS last year, the drivers blame the track because they refuse to slow down for a corner

@Dihydrogen Monoxide yeah but these are professional drivers, they should know should the car is going to need

@VladTheMeatMan and you should know how to drive your car on roadways, but I’m sure you’ve crashed at some point. Professional or not people make mistakes, and without extensive practice they have no reason to know this track with the new addition, this could also be early in the day while they’re still learning the chicane.

I spent some professional time at Sonoma Raceway and it was said to me that Nascar drivers disliked the track because it was too “technical.” To that I say, buck up princesses!

The yellow bumps on the Daytona Road Course chicane are actually called sausage curbs, no idea where people are getting “turtles” from.

You forgot to mention Daytona’s inside wall leading into pit road during the early 80s. It wasn’t reconfigured until after Randy LaJoie hit it in early 1984.

I was once racing at Charlotte in NASCAR Heat 5 and my car blew over in turn 3 where the catch fence wasn’t there. Instead of falling of the track, I hit an invisible wall.

@1:03 I mean, had that guy hit him a quarter of a second later nor maybe just a different angle or spot on the car, that guy would’ve for sure not survived that crash. That is freaking insane honestly.
