Fireball Roberts - His Life, Tragic Death, and Graveside Visit
Рет қаралды 461
Күн бұрынI visited Daytona Beach, Florida and visited the grave of Fireball Roberts, as legendary NASCAR driver who tragically died from injuries sustained from racing. He was involved in a tragic accident while racing in the 1946 Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I am releasing this video on May 28, 2023, which is also the date of the 2023 Coca-Cola 600.

I remember watching live (in black n white of course) We kids would race our banana seat bikes around a back yard track and spin out screaming Fireball!

Never heard of him but thanks for his story. Sad to die in such pain. He did die doing what he loved. He remined me of Earnhardt who died during a race too 😢and died at the scene.

Both stories ended tragically for sure... as fate would have it, I was present at the Daytona race when Earnhardt lost his life. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Recently heard the Fireball Roberts song from Jack Baymoore. Song was so good had to find out who he was.

You used to be able to walk down and see his urn. You are walking on the big square of marble that is now sealed.

I didn't know that... thanks for the update. I cannot find a picture that shows this though.
