"That's a hard lick!" How many times you hear that during the season? Lol...guy cracks me up. Btw, ever since Dale Earnhardt lost his life, Daryll has always claimed each crash looks really bad and he's worried about the driver. While he was watching his brother win the Daytona 500, he got very excited and emotional while Dale was pretty much sitting dead in his car. I think he felt so bad for being happy for his brother while Dale was sitting there, dead. He obviously had no clue the crash was that serious so you can't blame him one bit. But I think he decided to play it safe from then on, so he doesn't seem like he doesn't care about the other drivers. Poor guy...

Yes, I still remember that race... And it's funny how Earnhardt was playing defensive and not offensive that race... Then again maybe he wanted his boy to have that race seeing that, if my memory serves me correctly, Jr. has not won a Daytona 500 up to that point... Also he may have been like, "fuck it, I got all three of my car in the top three, so..."... Either way, it was a sad state of affairs in that day... D.

@@ricky107_ In many past ARCA races (most notably 2005 at Daytona), many drivers just pile into crashes that have been occurring for over 10 seconds without slowing down. If someone piles into a crash while barely slowing down, it became known as an ARCA brake (basically saying that the only way for ARCA drivers to slow down is to hit another car or object). In video games and racing simulations, many people still yell "ARCA BRAKE!!!" over chat if a car piles into a crash without slowing down.

I have raced cars before, and it is easy to say "I would do this" or "I would that" when sitting on the couch watching this on TV... But in reality, when your doing 190+mph, you have less than a tenth of a second reaction time to react... So many things go through your head in such a short time you often can't react fast enough... And even if you kill the engine, you're already carrying a speed of over 190+mph into that corner, a crash is most likely unavoidable...
