What happened was another car dropped oil and Chad happened to hit the slick spot. Car shot from the white line all the way over into the outside wall virtually head on.

Fun fact: This race was actually tape delayed. However, because of the first crash the race was essentially live, with the commentators doing commentary about 5-10 minutes behind the live action. Jerry Punch and Benny Parsons witnessed the 2nd flip happen live, then had to do the commentary for it shortly after. That's why their reactions seem very...muted. Brutal for the drivers and brutal for the commentators. I know I have the satellite feed of this race somewhere. It's strange.

It is a testament to how much safety has been upgrade from walls to cars (even if the modern arca cars has some weakness that need work), a 40 car field with 6 in lead and lots of DNFs in something you see in Iracing (ARCA brake weekly is famous example) but this was real in the past. Now its you get one ARCA Brake in a season and its a less amount of grid size.

Since my comment on racing-reference on this race is now gone I'll leave similar prose here. My dad and I attended this race. Back then, through the early 2000s, you'd get the ARCA race and Cup practice and/or qualifying on the same day. Cup 2nd round qualifying (yeah, that was still a thing back then) was that morning and the ARCA race was in the PM. We sat out of the old Turn 2 grandstands. Couldn't really see the first crash, but we definitely saw the flipping car and a bunch of onrushing cars and the resultant smoke lifting. There was a long delay after that one...I wanna say an hour or so to tend to the injured drivers. When Burchette turned over on the backstretch (the tire got caught underneath the car which exacerbated the issue), Delma tried to slow up but was hit from behind. Cameras don't catch that. The race was shortened due to impending darkness because of all the delays and lengthy cleanups due to all the crashes. There was just as brutal of a crash either the next year in 1997 or 1998, can't remember which, where Mark Thompson hit the Turn 2 wall broad driver's side and was knocked out and sustained injuries that really put his auto racing career on the back burner. Atlanta also was infamously where Tim Steele's driving career ended, too.

really cool seeing the in-progress grandstands and reconfiguration on the then backstretch of the track. This would be the last race weekend on the "old" track before they introduced the dogleg and flipped the S/F line to the other side of the track. That would go on to have one of the longest runs for an asphalt surface during the 21st century until its "new" configuration that we now have 2022-present

I was a teenager and not super familiar with arca, it just kinda seemed like a lot of the drivers weren't skilled enough to be driving at those speeds. I'll never forget Adam Petty was in a very violent crash very close to were we were standing. He walked right in front of us a few minutes after the wreck without a scratch on him.

The only other thing from this era I remember clearly was I believe the 1994 or 1995 Feb Daytona race where Bobby Bowser and another car were stacked going down the backstretch infield. Also interesting that the car was a Brett Bodine car. I also whitnessed his terrible practice crash at Michigan firsthand.

I remember watching this race live. I think the 2nd ARCA race at Atlanta would get more attention because in those days it was championship weekend for the Winston Cup series, so the ARCA race would be on Saturday and the press coverage would be there for the big race the next day. I recall them saying, at the time, that the Mickey Hudspeth car was an ex-Jeff Gordon Chevrolet. Maybe because it had #24, but I could see that being a Brett Bodine Ford, because around this time he had the Lowe's paint job on his WC car, which was similar to what we see here. But can't tell from the pictures if it's a Ford or a Chevy. Sometimes they'd barely change the paint job when the car was used in ARCA, because I see an old Darrell Waltrip Western Auto paint job in there, and a Sterling Marlin Kodak car. The race the year before was just about as bad, with the Jimmy Horton crash that you used in the intro, and we used to kid about the annual ARCA bloodbath at Atlanta, though it really wasn't something to laugh at. ARCA had a weird combination of good, experienced drivers, like Steele or Horton, and other guys who were in way over their head at a track like this. I wonder why they didn't have Jeff Purvis, who was usually in that #1 car at the very fast tracks like Atlanta. At the time I knew a guy who worked (as a volunteer) on one of the lower level ARCA cars, and we were talking about Tim Steele winning all the races, and he says to me, "Why not? He's running in ARCA with a Winston Cup budget." I didn't know if it was sour grapes, because the team my friend was on had to beg for tire money, but that was the disparity in ARCA.

This is why NASCAR now treats this as a lower HP track, resulting in racing action like Daytona and Talladega.

People need to understand arca in these days was basically the same people who run in Iracing today. Normalish people with enough money to try fast track themselves up to the faster classes of racing. Problem is, these are real cars.

Don Marmor suffered a life-threatening injury in that wreck. Dr. Jerry Punch (who is calling the race in this video) is credited with saving his life. He was working pit road for ESPN that day.

It’s weird to see how big of a deal arca races used to be and how dangerous it was for a lower series. You’d never get 42 cars today.

Really surprised there was no mention of the yellow car of Billy Thomas absolutely driving into the crash at 2:50. If it were up to me, he'd be banned from all NASCAR sanctioned events and possibly even have charges put on him for that.

I agree that it looks pretty bad, but you can see that a second before the hit, there was obviously a hole he was shooting for down the middle. The other car unfortunately got hit and thrown to the middle by somebody else. I think there just wasn't enough time for him to get on the brakes after shooting so hard for that gap. I think it was a dumb mistake, but if it were up to me, Id say it was probably not bannable

@@joekeller8936 I'm sure he could see the wreck happening as he was going into turn 3, he had more than enough time to even ease on the brakes, let the wreck play out, and drive on. I saw the hole too, but it was never going to happen.

Reminds me of a driver who had to have his legs amputated from some sort of open wheel crash (Think it was at Hockenheim) earlier this year. Forgot the driver’s name but his first name was Colin.
