@wes3tomcat they fixed the fence that day and finished the race

this is why i still love the taladega track to this day :0)

Thumbs up if you clicked this link because of Carl Edwards crash in Talladega.

man if he’d gone through that catchfence NASCAR would still be paying off the lawsuits.

I’m pretty sure he hit the fence in the neighborhood of 200 m.p.h. NASCAR enforced the restrictor-plate after this race in the hope that cars would not go into the crowd. The catch fences were reinforced as well to insure the cars would stay out of the bleachers. Thank Research and Development for the safety innovations through the years

@switchhitter08 too bad there’s no god, faggot christfag

The front of the crank shaft broke off due to a harmonic balancer failure , thats what caused the tire to blow out.
I read somewhere that one fan lost an eye from debris, lots of cuts and some broken arms.
IF the car HAD gone into the crowd that would have been the end of racing as we know it .
what wit all the law suits that would have come out of it.

@3fan4eva Davey Allison was running 207 and 208 mph laps at the end by himself, pulling away for the win. The 1987 Champion Spark Plug 400 at MIS was the best race of that year. Davey Allison, Buddy Baker, Bill Elliott, Alan Kulwicki, Richard Petty, Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace and Bobby Allison all going for the win and trading spots lap after lap during the last 40 laps of the race. The ESPN announcers were going bonkers in the booth. Bill Elliott won the race after passing Rusty and Dale.

lol at 0:22…

a friend said that he was about 240 mp/h when he crashed .. anyone knows the speed? i think that was about 205 mp/h

@3fan4eva

it was actually 215 mph Rusty did

@fiddlenut24 thats why they compared it to this crash
