They're aren't crashing, nudging, bumping on each other.... They're rubbing..... And rubbing, son, is racing......

[@Eeyortig]

The flaps that you see pop up in some of the accidents are called “roof flaps”. They shoot up when a car goes backwards to drag the airflow down onto the car to keep in onto the ground. Obviously sometimes they can’t stop a car going so fast.

[@skyraider87]

I always thought they were escape hatches for some reason, until I never saw anybody come out of them

[@user-bs7xj3kj9i]

Remember they are going 170 to 200 mph inches apart this sport takes balls.

[@mailboxmedia6655]

they overtake by drafting, when your behind someone, your faster because the air doesn't hit you. so at those big full throttle tracks, its all teamwork and pushing

[@curtisterry8258]

You beat me to it, thank you

[@insomnia.forever]

02:17 "this guy is lost, how is he gonna- " Literally 15 seconds later: 5th place

[@notsomadscientist9602]

Especially at a restrictor plate race. You could start in first, go 2 laps down, and still come back to win!

[@GraveDigger35]

No one has died in NASCAR since 2001 with Dale Earnhardt Sr. although there have been injuries 10:00 you would be correct, this incident got the #99 parked for what was left of the race, and then he was docked driver points and fined like $100k or so as well put on probation 13:21 that's what we like to call aggressive blocking which a lot of times leads to the one doing it being crashed

[@carsoncarolina2358]

Raise hell praise Dale

[@VeX1138]

NASCAR fatalities since 1952 = 28. The last one being in 2001. Formula 1 fatalities since 1952 = 52. The last being in 2017. NASCAR races per year = 2750 races over 75 seasons (average 37 races per year) F1 races per year = 1106 races over 73 seasons (average 15 races per year) So ... NASCAR races more often and has less fatalities than Formula 1. NASCAR is by FAR, the safest top-level motorsport on the planet.

[@pengiunanimatorguy]

The most recent death in nascar was actually Blaise Alexander in 2001, after Dale Sr :(

[@Mr._Mayonnaise]

I thought it was Eric Martin 2002​@@pengiunanimatorguy

[@superbluhedgehog1]

8:30 indeed. another camera angle showed that the #99 (Edwards) had deliberately turned the wheel towards Keslowski (12) as retaliation to the wreck in Talledega (roughly 14:00) the previous year (among other things)

[@josephnavin4451]

You were asking about how cars towards the back have any opportunity to overtake? It is highly unlikely. The drivers have been started in order based on better qualifying lap times. The cars towards the back CAN advance by playing their cards right. There is a best path to take around the track with the least loss of speed. They should avoid getting too severely damaged in crash-ups. Since these races are several hours long, maintenance, tire changes, and refueling are necessary and must be strategically planned. The driver is part of a larger team (yes, this is a TEAM sport) whose members must be quick and highly practiced in their own right. The leading cars can fall out of the race, or gradually lose position because of deficiencies in these areas, as their followers pass them by. You don’t get out in front and complacently expect to just win. This is not Mario Kart with 5 laps, more like several hundred. You and your team must maintain this high level of performance better than your rivals can over the course of these many hours. This is plenty of time for all of your minor indiscretions and errors to significantly accumulate and punish you with lost time. This is a marathon and not a sprint. TL,DR: Drive smarter, and make fewer mistakes.

[@L3WGReacts]

appreciate all the info!!

[@mr.megalodonmegalodon758]

Another thing to mention is draft, when a car is behind another car it does not get hit by the aerodynamic drag from the air, so it can go faster, if this is used strategically then the car could gain large amounts of speed and overtake the car they were following.

[@skippingrhyme4386]

None of what you said matters in the type of races he's talking about. In superspeedway races drafting is used to pass and qualifying doesn't matter because the cars are all equal when in the draft of these huge packs

[@dedo7326]

Yeah that’s not true on these tracks he’s watching. Literally any car can win on these tracks like if BJ mcloed can lead the race that just shows anyone can win as long as they are there at the end. Dale jr/sr both have won this kind of race starting in the mid pack and with only 5 laps to go.

[@nicalos007]

the big thing in nascar on a superspeedway (the big track where they are really close together) is to push the car in front of you to go faster than the other rows. When there is an opening one or multiple cars can move into another lane and pass the other cars. Sometimes one lane is faster than the other and you can get into that lane and move further up into the field. Then you also have to account for tire wear and fuel so theres more to the race than just passing someone. If you play it smart and be strategic you can gain a couple spots in one pit stop or so. And when your behind a big stocky car like that, theres a thing car bump drafting where essentially the wind goes around your car allowing you to go faster than the car in front of you but it makes your engine more hot and can also effect how fast you go. Nascar is basically if you stuck you everyday car onto a racetrack with a couple upgrades and tried to prepare it to last as long as possible without having mechanical failures and getting wrecked. Its alot more tha n just going in circles for the hell of it. Its alot of fun to watch at times and people just have to watch it themselves to see if the sport is good or not without assuming a car just goes in circles and its as easy as holding the wheel straight, becasue its not.

[@C.R.W]

The wreck where you started asking if drivers died often wasn't even Rusty's worst wreck.

[@notsomadscientist9602]

Rusty was a badass back in his day. He could run with the best of em. Now I live on a street called Rusty Wallace Way. The entire neighborhood is named after different drivers

[@willrobinson4976]

You going to just have to actually watch a full race to see how they overtake; it's done all the time. These are long races and many lead cars will crash or have some problem along the way. You just have to stay close to the front and be ready to move up when you have a chance. Also, some cars will take pit stops and others will stay out.

[@marcushayes1711]

lol bro is mad annoying asking the same shit over and over. like bro, its common since

[@shaunlogan6543]

Couple things to help you out: 1) the crowd cheers after accidents when they find out everyone is ok.. they’re cheering for the people surviving, not the crash… most of the time… 2) these cars are driving so fast that sometimes, especially out of corners, the car will “push” up the track regardless of what the driver is doing.. that’s what happened in that wreck you said was “illegal”…. 3) the right races are “restrictor plate” races meaning every car has essentially a “governor” on the engine allowing for a max speed for every car… so when every car is going the same speed, it then turns into tight, single file racing where the “draft” is used… 4) cars can pass on those “restrictor plate” races if they have another car behind them “pushing” them making them faster by about 5 mph… if you’re in the back in that instance you’re kind of just screwed… 5) if a car wrecks, the car that wrecks them continues racing… there’s certain rules you cannot break but causing an accident is not against the rules… Hope that helps!

[@crazydrummer181]

If you watch the full last lap of these super speedway tracks. You’ll see there can actually multiple lead changes during the last lap and often at the last moment.

[@kfizz21]

A lot of drivers hate that close form of racing because of how much more dangerous it is.

[@MarkPentler]

The one with the flip where he says he doesn't know if he's okay - that was retaliation for the guy turning him at another race.

[@robandnikki1]

By drafting, one car is exposed to the wind residence of going 200mph. But having the second car, you now have two engines to overcome one cars exposure to wind resistant drag. Also, the Reynolds Number determines efficiency of air or water flow. It deals with a length to width ratio. For a given width, the efficiency increases as length increases.

[@edhunter7692]

If you want to see how to go from mid pack to win, watch Dale Earnhardt’s final win at Talledega. He went from 17th to first in just a handful of laps

[@JayStephens8]

Generally most of these big crashes happen at tracks like Daytona and Talladega those tracks a pretty big and have really high banked turns so you don’t have to get out of the gas and because of that those tracks have pack racing where the slipstream/draft is how you race and most of the time they aren’t trying to wreck each other but this ain’t like f1 these cars are bigger and far more of a pain to drive than an f1 car

[@richardbrown516]

The cars are inches apart, and on the stra>ght aways going 190-200 mph 321kph. Cars externally look like street legal vehicles, they are hand built at a cost of around 200,000USD each. They only look externally like a FORD, CHEV_, etc. The are buil/ by race teams or specialty race car builders.

[@Mines00]

"How do they overtake?" Wait until this guy finds out about Dale Earnhardt going from 15th to 1st in 5 laps.

[@skippingrhyme4386]

In Superspeedway Racing, there are multiple lines of cars, and each line gains momentum, and people switch lines, which is how you move up positions.

[@Mr._Mayonnaise]

Him: How does the white car with the orange roof overtake the yellow car Kaz: Ill show you how

[@BamaXander]

They were cheering because he got out of the car unhurt. They weren't cheering the accident itself.

[@HHGaming-yh12]

the reason they drive so close to each other is because the more cars in a line the faster the line moves. hopes this helps

[@Bearfacts01]

NASCAR is about driving skills. The cars ALL have the same power and speed. So it is up to the driver's skill. And yes in NASCAR bumping other cars is a strategy and fitting in places you don't fit with a car. But there are rules.

[@caryeastwood6691]

The races are fairly long, so somebody that is stuck in the pack can wait until somebody makes a small error and opens up a hole they can slip through. Near the end, they will start using the "chrome horn", IE bumping and pushing cars around them to make those holes. The cars packed together can run faster than a car alone. Even though this move is not uses as much as before, the "slingshot" is when the car behind another is able to ride in the draft and get a run on the car in front. The second car is using less power than the car in front thus is able to floor it and get that boost. The second car is able to pull out and get around the car in front of them before their momentum is lost.

[@warinsidemyhead8939]

He didn't rear end him, he rubbed him, and rubbing is racing....

[@marcmartin3642]

On superspeedways they restrict the HP on the engines to keep speeds down which makes overtaking difficult and creates pack racing.

[@indydosanjh9495]

People pass when others do pit stops. Also gaps do open up and u also have to make room to move up and pass other cars. Plus that piece of the roof that went up. It helps slow the car down if it’s going backwards and help preventing it from flipping over

[@daltonmoore8971]

If you want to see how they pass. Watch "Relive the final laps from Dale Earnhardt’s 76th and final win".

[@elliottgatehouse6568]

There is drafting involved and winds betwen the cars causes the crash. they don't re-end each other they tap and can ride the bumper without problems. It's call bump drafting. They will be racing next weekend. They usually run 200+mph

[@MM126.90]

2:17 How does this guy over take? 2:26 that's how if you watch thay go from ~17th to 4th To actually answer your question, they just push the person in front of them, forming girant lines of cars. Some lines will be faster so to overtake, you switch lanes and try to move it forward. These lines are created because the cars have massive spoilers and low horsepower, which make it faster to run behind the person in front of you, rather than try to run by yourself. You can briefly see this with the white and yellow trucks at the start of the clip. The Yellow trucks have more trucks behind them, thus making them go faster. If you want to maintain the lead you have to constantly switch lanes to be in the fastest one, which is what the 15 was doing at 3:15.

[@PianomanKY]

As far as passing cars, the cars aren't bunched up like that for the entire race. Mostly just on the start and restarts. Otherwise it's a lot of strategy, "drafting" and being faster than the other cars. A good analogy is "Nascar is a 200mph game of chess"

[@Better_callMe]

You should see how Dale Earnhardt would pass 17-18 cars in like 5 laps to get to the front of the pack.

[@notsomadscientist9602]

I was probably watchied most of these but the Ryan Newman (@12:10) one where he took a direct hit in the driver's door while upside down sat me back in my chair. I was watching as an early teen when Dale Earnhardt died at Daytona. I thought for sure Ryan was gone. They brought out a big black screen to block the view when they pulled him from the car. I stayed up all night waiting for updates! Scary stuff!

[@garrypresley5519]

All of the engines are built to a specific NASCAR requirement they're basically all the same the way that they pass as they draft behind each other in a long line it might take someone 2 to 3 laps in order to set up to pass and the flaps on the roof that you see opening release air pressure so the cars don't flip !

[@m3017co]

You have to deal a lot of respect to NASCAR safety procedure. The last time a race car driver was killed was 23 years ago. Dale Earnhardt it was the 2001 Daytona 500. A car got airborne during that race too it was Tony Stewart

[@Oceangate-Titan]

For anyone who doesnt know the last race with Carl Edwards he actually took off and was rolling across the fence he later got out and ran tge rest of the way to the finish line

[@Bearfacts01]

VERY, VERY few people die in this sport. They are VERY protected in the cars. Their heads are between two bars so whiplash doesn't happen. They are belted in and the cars are built for crashes.

[@thesimwarlock]

As far as winning NASCAR uses a point system to judge where your at in the standing

[@JustAnIdiot4]

[@HsTyler15]

so they basically overtake by a thing called drafting.. at the speeds they are running if they stay behind another car they don’t have the wind pushing on them so they get a short burst of speed

[@jeffcurry8317]

Been NASCAR fan long time. I have gotten complacent with the crashes. Recently finding videos like this has given me new interest on how wild it gets. 3:10 the M&Ms car went airborne right in front of where i was sitting. I wish there was a camera angle that could show how far up in the air that car went, but the cameras are way up looking down on the cars. I was just looking at whats left of the #3 car in a museum few days ago. No front clip left, barely and rear end, look inside the roll cage for driver is barely bent out of shape. I saw the Bonnie and Clyde car they killed in, this was a close 2nd to give chills.

[@ItsYaBoiChenny]

9:44 they cheered i think bc the driver of the 62 got out after the flip

[@justintrefney1083]

Those flaps that open up are there to add wind resistance and when the car is going backwards. It helps them to slow down and prevents flipping. My dad is one of the 2 people that invented them.

[@patrickkanas3874]

They use drafting there’s stuff like bump drafting and side drafting to push your line to the front

[@anthonyhangbers7492]

There's not been a death since 2001 and that was Dale Earnhardt

[@garywaterman814]

Nascar has shorter tracks and a couple road courses that keep it interesting. These are just "Super Speedway" crashes. The really big tracks where they are doing 200mph. The cars line up because its mostly about aerodynamics. The wind is a really big factor. Everything about the car is designed so the front end can cut through the air the easiest. But if the left side, right side or back side turn into the wind. Look out. They will take off like a clumsy airplane. Lol The roof flaps allow air to escape from under the car when any of the other 3 sides turn into the wind. The forward speed and downward force when driving forward holds the flaps down. If it turns sideways the air rushing in underneath takes away the downforce but pushes open the flaps to let air out so the car doesnt take off into the air. A brilliant safety idea. Its worked very well and it will get better. Dangerous sport so nothing is 100% for sure buts saved many drivers for sure. The cage around them, the seat and head restraint system allow them to take much bigger crashes now and walk away. When you see the front and back of the car get crushed so bad they break away, thats part of the plan. A rolling cage is safer than all the hard bumps and bangs. Lol

[@xking5v]

the tracks wit the big groups of cars all together is all about playing chess, you have to get yourself in position before it's too late.

[@anthonyhangbers7492]

This is what real racing is. Rubbing is racing my friend. They have bumpers for a reason.

[@johnfryberger9849]

that's called racing. that's the fun of watching a race.

[@nicalos007]

heres the thing, they do crash alot. Theres not as many flips as there used to be becasue of safety features, but they are inevitable when you go 200 mph in parking spot closeness

[@JessKerr-zj5dn]

So running into other cars and crippling then knocking them back in rank and crashing them is allowed and a way to change ranks, only one car can win but they work in teams and try to advance each others ranks. MOST INTERESTING at least to me is nascars origins in prohibition where the bootleggers would soup up their cars and use basically any means to escape the lawmen so allowing these tactics is rather fitting.

[@goldosprey]

0:26 Is this normal At that track? Yes Also welcome to pack racing. Where your never out of it completely until your either across the line or your wrecked thanks to the fact they use the aerodynmaic draft. At Talladega, the track in clip 1 and Daytona, clip 2, this is very common

[@jessebest5961]

The cars have to be super light for speed but when they go that fast they can turn into kites and flip into the air. fortunately the cars crumple like paper softening the impact.

[@thesimwarlock]

Ask and you shall receive the same truck you choose 2:30 ended up in the lead after the crash. when 2 cars are front to back there may not be ANY contact it may just be in a wind turbulence from air pressure not pushing the back of the lead car down like is should

[@ZManasco-eh7se]

6:23 RIP DALE SR.

[@theJuLYheat]

The whole thing is a type of chess situation. They literally battle for positions. You should check out "The Hail Melon" Ross Chastain's wall ride.

[@Woozi2001]

There’s people called spotters that will be looking at the track from above and by radio can talk to the drivers for their blind spots and they can also talk with their crew chief for pit stops they also have a thing called the hans device to protect their head and when dale senior died they weren’t mandatory but after Dale Earnhardts death they became mandatory

[@dcoxdon]

the MOST amazing thing about this sport is to watch the drivers just literally walk away from these crashes! A LOT of technology they use in race cars end up in passenger vehicles.

[@tcar1501]

It's about driving the average race 250 to 500 MI at 200 plus miles an hour and make it to the finish line first

[@bobbyquinting3918]

The flap on the top of the cars is the best attempt to let air escape from the inside of the car. In theory, it ruins the flight aerodynamics of the cars. *In theory.

[@dcoxdon]

They drive INCHES apart so the car behind can gain more speed from being in the air current from the car in front of them. (I'm sure I didn't explain it right, but its something like that.

[@robertlain6095]

Only two deaths I remember Earnhardt Sr and Adam Petty

[@gorjlg]

Overtaking on those tracks is done by using the airflow over the cars. Many times, the car in front is at a disadvantage because they are pushing the hole in the air and cars behind don't have to push that hole in the air. It can be a 10mph difference 1 car alone vs several cars lined up. Cars do push each other also around cars. Biggest thing, it air manipulation (drafting), momentum, getting energy built up.

[@Jdog2201]

The best way to understand a race is to watch it and study. Highlights leave a ton of questions. 2 cars are faster than one at these big tracks due to a thing called drafting, which is where one car gets right behind the other, creating a slipstream of air

[@LexyThomas134]

2:14 whoever is in the front is technically gonna win right? _Learned that answer a few seconds later_ haha

[@Sawyers1129]

Big difference between a super speedway and normal oval. Most of these accidents were on a super speedway where they are all bunched and drafting is king

[@nickMercadomp7]

2:58 that is called an air flap it's to keep the truck or car down on the ground

[@kirkgoshert7876]

2:15 "Technically, the guy in front wins, right?" Two seconds later the guy in front is upside down. Nice call.

[@dirtbikejess434]

its hard to understand the sport until you see how they use drafting to pass and the more cars they have in the line is the faster they go. so if one car were to jump out of line that car would instantly fall to the back. at short tracks its much different and they rely on others making mistakes, clean air and strategy to pass

[@Walter_Sobchak_43]

8:42 It is allowed. Welcome to NASCAR. crzy sport, man.

[@DrakeClark-s5y]

Lemme tell ya. They do something called bump drafting

[@SyntaxErr0r247]

How other cars get in front at superspeedways is from bump drafting, getting big runs, and in some cases drivers like brad Keselowski will wreck others for the win.

[@robdurfee6861]

Rubbing is racing brother

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

Really liked your reaction! To answer your question, they are running that fast, sometimes up to 230 mph / 370 kph. As for the rest of your questions, easiest way to answer all of them, is to have you watch a race. Start to finish. I suggest one of the Daytona, Talladega or Indianapolis 500 races. On a short track, there's Bristol, where they say, if you didn't hit the wall at Bristol, you weren't there.

[@nickMercadomp7]

11:28 if it was intentional yes they can be fined or even be forced to sit out some races but if it was an accident then nothing

[@adamhackett7173]

The race is hundreds of laps so the passing happens over a long period of time

[@randallmccoy8581]

Drafting is when two FULL BODIED race cars can cut thru the air better than one, as one car alone, pushes the air, creating resistance, slowing it down, and the rear has an air vaccuum swirling behind it, slowing it down further by creating suction. With 2 or more cars running bumper to bumper, the air resistance is divided between the cars...helping them go faster, save fuel, and stay up front of the pack in cleaner air. If you DON'T DRAFT in these full body stock cars, you would quickly get left behind by the pack of drivers who have MASTERED the fine art of DRAFTING. Open wheel cars like F1 and Indy cars, don't like to get close and touch and you know why, they have fragile exposed aerodynamics that wreck easy, and hot sticky tires that can literally launch them overtop of another car, but with full fenders covering the tires of these stock cars, nudging other cars for advantage is an artform unto itself. Just think...POLICE PURSUIT PIT MANOUVER and you've kind of got the idea. To truly appreciate the fine art of stock car drafting, it's best to go back to the years when the first paved superspeedways were born, and aerodynamics suddenly became important ...1959...the Daytona superspeedway was the first of the ultra high speed, ultra high banked stock car superspeedways, a 2.25 mile tri-oval, with 30 degree banking on the corners, where North American family cars could reach ABSURDLY DANGEROUS SPEEDS. Talladega superspeedway, created in 1969, was even bigger, at 2.6 miles, and faster and banked even higher than Daytona. The extreme track speeds constantly blistered and shredded tires, leaving GOODYEAR tire technicians scratching their heads in frustration, and causing numerous smash ups so violent and extreme that it simply terrified the drivers, who formed a union in protest. It's VERY CLOSE QUARTERS AND HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE RACING that makes for thrills galore and spectacular crashes. There is nothing like the spectacle of stock car racing...ESPECIALLY the old footage (that you can see on youtube). of late 1950s thru to the 1970s, before NASCAR started slowing them down with carburetor restrictor plates for safety. The high bank open throttle stock car races such as the DAYTONA 500 and TALLADEGA 500, back in the day when sex was safe and cars were dangerous (instead of the other way around like now)...is probably the wildest, craziest (legal) thing you will ever watch big family sedans do.

[@nickMercadomp7]

12:38 i remember this race that was the last lap the 6 was ryan newman i wanted him to win because he just came back from retirement he was so close

[@ALiz86]

😂😂"Is this normal?!? They're driving really fast and are really close together!" To quote my Dad, "Son this RACING, if they aint rubbin', they aint racin'.' Two wide on the track is nothing. Now when they go 4 wide (only certain tracks can TEMPORARILY fit 4) - that is racing at its finest and you actually find yourself holding your breath, because one tiny mistake could, and has, caused a massive chain reaction of wrecks to happen.

[@17gt350]

So these cars are reinforced on the front and rear bumpers so they can bump draft they actually push each other around the track.

[@EdZirul]

And believe that Dale Earnhardt was the last death in nas car ….

[@ambroze426]

i hope people actually sit down and watch races after watching these videos. they are long, but worth it

[@wildbill6899]

No they are not find, when Dale Sr clipped Rusty, the lap after he stopped and asked how Rusty was as Rusty was his friend

[@cainsolo1]

@14:40 , now see if you did THAT the driver you hit is gonna kick your ass. Incidental contact is one thing, but deliberately rear ending another driver is a BIG NO NO!

[@jaydenkorna9430]

So you know Drs that you overtake some one in formal 1. So in nascar they use draft to pass others it like going beside them to get extra speed

[@phillyfanist]

So it IS illegal to intentionally ram someone with the purpose of trying to cause a spin or a wreck. That said, bump drafting, banging doors etc is perfectly legal. In NASCAR they say “rubbings racing”. These cars are capable of topping out at over 200 mph but at super speedway tracks like Daytona and Talladega, they use restrictor plates on the engines to limit the horsepower so that when they do wreck they don’t have guys going into a wall at a 90 degree angle at 200 mph. The current racing format kind of sucks with competition cautions that bunch the field up but it used to be that on a long run the field would get strung out into single file and that was how you passed without wrecking. It still happens to a certain extent but it’s not as exciting in my opinion.

Also nascar has been very good with safety the last fatality in nascar was Dale Earnhardt Sr in the 2001 Daytona 500, the brand new next gen car which debuted earlier this year has been a death trap the car doesn’t bend and flex to much when it crashes, one of nascars best drivers in the modern era had a fairly minor crash at pocono a few months ago he’s been out with a concussion ever since and he just announced he will retire from full time racing after this year he’s the last active nascar driver to race against Dale sr, and the next gen car has caused the drivers to feel much more of the impact, nascar is working on the next gen in terms of making the car bend more when it crashes for next year but pretty much all of the drivers aren’t to happy with nascar at the moment

Who was the one that crashed at Pocono? Used to follow nascar till Gordon retired

@@MikasaAckermann831 which pocono crash there have been tons of crashes there, also you should start watching nascar just because your guy retired shouldn’t mean you should stop watching, since Dale jr retired I started to cheer for chase Elliott has been pretty good he already has a championship and tons of wins he’s currently the favorite to win the title this year but with all of the stupid 💩 that goes on in the races who knows

@@MikasaAckermann831 Kurt Busch it wasn’t a big crash but the new next gen cars which are spec cars designed by nascar don’t bend a lot espically in the back and if the teams touch any parts nascar hands down a heavy penalty, Alex bowman literally had a small slide and light the slightest of contact with the rear at Texas a couple weeks ago and he’s out for the rest of the year with a concussion watch that video

It is a 500-mile race, there's plenty of time a jockey for position.
