Danica Patrick's Hardest NASCAR Crashes

[@cadillacjohn1994]

Even though she is a natural IndyCar driver by trade, her best chance at succeeding in nascar was with JRM. Despite her wrecks, her 2011 and 2012 nationwide seasons were, in my opinion, her best performances in her entire nascar career. Her 1 top 5 and 7 top 10s might not look too great, but she was steadily building up consistent top 15 finishes from the middle to the end of her 2012 season, thanks largely in part to her guidance from Tony Eury Jr and Ryan Pemberton. Not to mention, she had two races where she should’ve won (2011 Daytona where she was leading before Joey Logano booted her and she finished 10th, and 2012 Montreal). Say what you will about her Cup career, where she was arguably rushed up too early, but she was starting to find her footing in Nationwide competition with JRM in 2012. Had she stayed on for at least another season or two, she might’ve had a better end to her career.

She's Never Finished In The Top 5 In Cup Series

[@saltbombcreations8336]

@@NASCARHWUnless you count exhibition races. Heck, she never finished outside the top ten in the All Star Open

[@saltbombcreations8336]

I agree with you, I am a big DP fan and I dislike it when people often blame her for her lackluster career

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

If she had stayed in XFinity she potentially would've lucked her way into a win.

[@MatthewDschutte]

Well a shoe on the track in Montreal in 2012 didn't help

[@smedleyx]

some of those impacts looked like hospital-stay material, but I was happy I never seen her get seriously injured

[@saragrant9749]

Danica Crash-rick. Seriously, no one was in more wrecks in one short career than her- and yes, many of them not her doing. One excellent thing she taught many others to do was to release the steering wheel during a crash. It has saved many a broken wrist.

[@saltbombcreations8336]

Well at least she wasn’t as bad as Cody Ware or Rick Crawford, who both committed crimes

[@saragrant9749]

@@saltbombcreations8336 that’s not even a comparison, to be honest.

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

Brian Scott somehow wrecked more than she did.

[@weatherguy8380]

She hit really hard on the inside wall on the backstretch at Talladega in the spring race during 2017 (during the big one where the 47 rolled)

[@ryanocon31]

I have a video request- One of my subscribers requested me to do this kind of video you did with Danica but a while back just with Kurt Busch. I feel like it would be better for you to do it

[@saltbombcreations8336]

Had they not implemented the HANS device or SAFER barrier, she would’ve been severely injured or died in either the 2016 Geico 500 or the 2017 spring Kansas race. Don’t make fun of her for crashing, be glad those crashes weren’t in the worst case scenario and Nascar is safer now

[@Whenchungo07]

Odd how the two auto club wrecks were very similar

[@DrakionClaw]

She never deserved the ride she had.

[@aj_killjoy]

I still don’t really get the point of drivers facing backlash for being “ignorant” towards drivers who had a “harder wreck” It’s one thing if it was an intentional wreck and a driver just doesn’t care about the other, but a completely separate thing if a driver in a massive multi car accident didn’t notice how bad another driver had it. For this example in particular, from Danica’s onboard, you couldn’t even see Almirola, only a quick flash of car as he demolished Logano. Secondly, drivers in that scenario usually don’t know the conditions of each other post wreck, especially if they are taken straight to the infield care center right after. I’m not saying some drivers shouldn’t get flack for it, but sometimes it’s just stupid to try and pin that on someone when they don’t know that another driver might be hurt. Especially in that mid-2010s era, where there was a definite lack of injuries in the Cup Series (aside from Jr’s on and off concussions), drivers just didn’t know the risks when guys like Austin Dillion, Chris Buescher, and Kyle Larson would walk out of ridiculous wrecks unscathed. 2016 Kansas reminded everyone.

I don’t think nascar was a very good choice for her…

[@MasterSnake]

Should've stuck with indycar. She was actually pretty good in that

[@hambini-bunnybunn2238]

I agree.

[@SilverThunder710]

Do Terry Labonte's worst crashes

[@EnrLeaf]

To be fair, Danica went from Indycar, which doesnt have any contact when racing,to NASCAR, with bunches of bumping and shoving.

[@the8jrfan]

I wouldn't trust her to drive a rental car.

[@charleslewis6963]

It sort pisses me off when they call her a race car driver she should have been a demolition derby driver the only thing I can give her she wasn’t afraid to go fast it would probably be a staggering figure in dollar amount of equipment she destroyed she would have probably finished first in this category

[@michiahrice72]

She never flipped her car

[@saltbombcreations8336]

Because she weighed 100lbs at the time, they made her car heavier than the other cars

[@waylongray2032]

She really likes hitting that spot at Daytona 😂😂😂

[@Thierrynascarandarca]

Request do kamen rider screams and henshin and nascar crashes and spins and big ones and hard hits and including nascar other sires

[@Thierrynascarandarca]

Ok
