Jimmy Horton going over the wall in turn 1 at Talladega is one i never see in replays. Nowadays, if that happened it would probably kill dozens of people as that part of the facility is totally different: now it's porta potties, tram lanes, another tunnel etc. It may be the reason they put a catch fence up all the way around the track, but not 100% sure on that.

It’s fenced off

Also resulted in hands down the best racing quote of all time. "You know you're in trouble when the first person to get to you after a wreck is carrying a beer." e- Jimmy is still racing big block dirt mods at his home track of Orange County Fair Speedway, where he won the track championship a few years ago.

Michel Waltrip was never the same racer after they left him upside down for 22 minutes as he screamed for them to roll him over he was never the same after that race.

Another one would be John Banks’ flip at Daytona 1976. One of the guys who’s helping me in my racing career was a mechanic for him, and told me the stories of Speedweeks 1976.

The Bodine flip was almost exactly like Chad Chaffin's flip in the Daytona Truck race in 2005... in an incident caused by Todd Bodine. It was also the second flip Bodine caused that race as he had wrecked another driver previously in that race that also caused a flip.

@@STP43FAN1 Oh I thought you were asking which Bodine flip I was comparing the Chaffin flip to. My bad. In 2005 at Daytona, Todd Bodine flipped 2 drivers. One was Chad Chaffin near the end of the race. The other flip was towards the beginning of the race... & let's just say we don't talk about that particular driver anymore.

i wouldn’t say that those are forgotten though, as they are routinely featured in NASCAR crash and/or flip compilations as well as Dale Jr. stating multiple times that his flip in the BGN race at Daytona in ‘98 was one of his first concussions
