[@saragrant9749]

The fact that he was asking where he finished and if the car would be ready for Saturday… racer’s mentality right there!! Kid’s a tough- and very lucky- cookie.

[@dontask8979]

How will safety improve if they suppress the videos? They should be showing every angle and every frame. I can understand not showing it without a update to his condition, but thats no longer a issue. What are they hiding?

[@Commander-McBragg]

The insurance companies are watching. Media has long claimed that they cut footage for privacy of the driver. Another reason is that the insurance companies watch for freak stuff like this to cover their butts. The people who put on this race know that they will have questions to answer and may face higher premiums. It is an embarrassment, like getting caught with your pants down. In this case, though, it’s on the driver and his team.

[@jimmieroan9881]

yours and some of the other comments are sad, there are plenty of videos on youtube where you freaks post videos of people being injured or killed without the tracks doing it for your pleasure. what reason do you have for wanting to see this young man thrown from his car. and just read the other comments, everyone is an expert and knows exactly how and why it happened. think back, a safety parts manufacturer lost his business and was sued when dale sr was killed even though it was proven the belts did not fail. you people just need to drink your beer and jack off somewhere else.

[@andrewhartings9795]

This wasn't anybody's fault. He was unlucky by one of his belts getting caught on the main latch when we flipped and ended up unlatching his harness.

[@CrewGuyPJ]

@@andrewhartings9795 been debunked, he wasnt wearing arm restraints...he forgot to snug his shoulder belts.

[@NathanM4A1]

Its a shame you didn't show the rest of the crash, as this view would've shown how well every single driver behind him did at coming to a complete stop. Drone footage showed most of the back straight coming to a halt before his car did. And there is no way the officials would've had to time to call red over the radios any more than once. They all saw the incident and hauled those vehicles in so officials could get to him. They all deserve a massive round of applause.

[@CopperBlue28]

I was there. The crash was ugly. In fact we all thought we witnessed a fatality. But you're right- these are some of the best drivers and officials in the business and it showed.

What ll they find out at hospital

[@toddhannah1673]

Many Prayers for Mr. Torgerson and God's Blessings that he recovers to the fullest.....

[@jacobcoil2739]

You know who was riding with him, the good MAN above.Get well soon.

[@mattthomas3207]

I think the thing that freaked everyone out was them blocking the view with the sheets. Most of the time in motorsports it's not good at all if they have those out. I'm not sure why they chose to do that

[@michaelhughes4421]

No. The thing that freaked everyone out was seeing someone come out of their car and almost get hit lmao

[@purdyboi807]

@@michaelhughes4421 "seeing someone come out of their car & almost get hit lmao"...WTF dude, seriously? You really think an accident that critical is SO funny that you were 'laughing your ass off'??... or is it maybe that you're just a 10-yr. old little girl who's used to posting on TikTok?

[@theivory1]

I still can't believe that happened. That kid is lucky to be alive.

[@goat6467]

@@SuperCellChasing no Larson and Bell don’t wanna race bc they want that big nascar money. Yeah it should be more to win but both class act babies. I’m sure they really don’t care if two nascar whiners don’t show up to their show with 200 cars

[@tddb16]

@@goat6467 the Chili Bowl is making money hand over fist with that many cars selling out the stands and not to mention the percentage of money from TV. Sponsors like Lucas is footing all the money for purse then some their paying out purses from the 80's it's 2023 people are paying more that what they would win just to show up and put on a show. This has been an ongoing issue but the promoters and powers that be are not listening this is how great shows like this end up being a thing of the past. Just because they want to make the amount of money that a track makes in a year in one week Larson and Bell are trying to bring awareness to that and you-all are trashing them for it good job👍🏻

[@michaelhughes4421]

@@goat6467 ahh yes they should keep going to and making money for something that they feel isn’t treating the drivers fair. That makes complete sense 😂

I can tell this was already posted right when the ambulance was leaving

[@jaredkinneyjr]

I noticed Flo used your Robert Bell 2017 footage. Congrats. Big fan of the channel. I've been following since 2017

[@wyoodrifter1811]

Glad Ashton is doing good . Be safe all !

[@1957raider]

that was a great race.

[@Acemechanicalservices]

The seatbelt came out with him. I think someone forgot to or improperly bolted it to the frame. At any rate, it was some kind of error.

[@wolfpacva]

So glad Ashton will be ok

[@PoliteSZN]

lol , a car had a wall of go pro's on the back roof area , makeshift wing made from go pro's ,, cool idea.

lucky fella

[@dunnock343]

What was the point of cutting out the footage of the crash? It's not like you're showing death.

[@youknoweverything7643]

Umm did he live I guessing so and I'm glad they covered that kid up for privacy if he was a minor then good for the medical staff and track officials for doing that I'll have to find the crash video. Racing is a tough sport sometimes and ppl do get hurt and killed every year racing but it's that risk we take every time we strap ourself into that car knowing that it could be my last race ever and I could not climb back out of this car alive and before I get to the track I remember that and that's what keeps me humble and smart on the track and I have only totaled one racecar out in the 15 years I raced and it wasn't my fault at all, racing is dangerous but way less dangerous then any other sport you can participate in especially less dangerous then playing football for your kids,

[@garysimons1608]

Seat belt failure. Needs to be looked into. Lucky kid! Glad he’s ok

[@CopperBlue28]

For the record, it wasn't a seat belt failure. His arm restraints caught the lap belt and unlatched it as he was rolling. This was posted on his FB page weeks after the crash.

[@elijames3041]

Can't what

[@Commander-McBragg]

If ya can’t stand the brutality, stay home. Ever see them cover up a boxer when he starts bleeding. Guess they’ll start doing that soon, too.

[@bobhobbs4627]

American in this century is so soft that they can’t see it.

[@jayminbernhardt4952]

There’s kids there… nobody needs to see it. It’s more for the drivers personal privacy anyways

[@BGBG-dq2rd]

Glad the kid is ok. BUT WHAT REALLY ANNOYS ME IS NO ONE, INCLUDING THE KID WILL TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AND CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. INSTEAD OF HELPING THOUSANDS FROM POSSIBLY MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE THEY ARE "KEEPING IT QUIET"? WTF!! MAN UP AND TELL US YOU SCREWED UP WITH THE BELTS OR IF SOMETHING WAS FAULTY? BUT NO!, GET THE LAWYERS INVOLVED FOR ANOTHER BS LAWSUIT!!!! MY MONEY US ON HUMAN ERROR!!!!

[@purdyboi807]

Dude, what's up with all the screaming & yelling? And who is it, exactly, that you're yelling at, and why? Also, you really shouldn't be putting 'money on' anything if you're not exactly in the position to afford to lose it!
