I remembered watching that race live. I was stunned that Dale Jr. was able to steer the car with his hand long enough to reattach the wheel.

It was under the caution flag, running around 65mph, scary and dangerous, but not what you’re making it out to be.

Even at a caution speed it still can be very dangerous sure not as Dangerous at green flag conditions

Could be wrong (heard this a long time ago) but didn’t Ted Chamberlain run an entire race with no steering wheel back in the 50s?

To have your steering wheel come off during a high speed race is one of the worst things that can happen but this guys thinking is of the frickin charts

There are so many things wrong with this…
1: Michigan is NASCAR’s fastest track, not Talladega.
2: This happened under caution, not while he was racing.
3: This has happened before.

I was at this race and had no idea it happened until I got home a few days later

@RandomCub yea it was really stupid but it’s true

I think there was some guy back in the post-war days of nascar that won a race using the steering column in the final laps

Reply

You need some strength to steer without the wheel

Reply
RandomCub August 22, 2023 at 2:45 am

He’s actually done that before I’m pretty sure. I think he did it at Charlotte
