Pretty wild pile up!! Reminds me of an icy day on the interstate around here, they just keep piling up...

There are obviously dozens and dozens of YouTube clips where there was a fatality, so yes, let's try to keep the footage contained to where drivers walked away.


Here's one from the "flying race car" file, Lemans style...

This one is a classic:

A 1960 Sportsman Race at Daytona. A massive 68-car field, with Banjo Mathews, Fireball Roberts, etc, and I think that's a 1959 Cadillac Convertible Pace Car. At 1:54 into this highlight reel, there's a massive 37-car pileup (the largest wreck in history). Everyone walked away, but the carnage was incredible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eb3Sf6Kf1I

Some of you may enjoy watching this whole 3:23 film. Lots of real oddball cars on the track, and I swear I catch a glimpse of a Studebaker.

Yeah, some great nicknames back then.

Hey, what ever happened to BuckShot Jones, the Nascar driver of the 00 car a few years back? That was a helluva nickname and matching car number to boot!
