Watkins Glen in a nutshell: turn 1 brake failure. I remember playing NASCAR racing video games in the 90s and flying off the track on that turn every time.

6:07 you can't have a brake failure if you never had brakes to begin with. #arcabrakes

2:30 that’s a perfect hip check in hockey.

"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...

Jimmie Johnson really needs some better brakes, he's in like half these clips

These guys couldnt get a brake those days

6:01 I see no brake failure here, just Arca being Arca

0:30

3:03 what’s scary is how he is sponsored by weis markets. Look where he lands.

A true testament to NASCAR safety and funny little rules

All these brake failures, and yet no mention of when Kenseth lost his brakes & drove into Logano. 😂

5:00 WOW! Thankfully the crew seen the mishap coming. That would have really hurt otherwise!!

This should be called Jimmie Johnson’s relationship with his brakes.

2:28 forza be liike

Controller disconnected

6:03 this crash reminds me of way back when Mark Martin took a hit to the inside guard rail and a chain link fence. But I think that was at Daytona.

Wow I just realized it's been over 20 years since this was filmed and I remember watching it live the older you get the faster time travles No matter what NASCAR will always be the best way of life known to man

"I've never seen a 48 car torn up that much." 8:05

Jimmie Johnson vs breaks

0:22 *Jimmie Johnson has joined the chat*

Those barriers and neck harnesses have saved so many lives. 🤯

Was at Pocono for the bubba wallace wreck ,still get an uneasy feeling watching that

David Land's first time using brakes

It’s watching each and every one of these wall crashes and all the ones over the last 30 years that’ll always make it hard for me to find peace in the crash that killed Dale. It will never make sense in my simple mind

When you're able to hear an impact from far away, you know it's bad.

I was sitting right in front of that Denny Hamlin crash at the glen. This brought back so many memories! Thanks!

6:07 Nope, I'm not making any jokes... UHHHH!!! I can't hold it back anymore! ARCA BRAKES!!!

Even that hard hit into the wall couldn't knock any sense into Bubba Wallace

Cool video king Kyle Busch!

2:57 is it me or does he skim like a puck on a hockey table

What I take away from this is never drive a car with a number in the 40's.

DRIVER LIST: 1. Denny Hamlin 2. Jeff Gordon 3. AJ Allmendinger 4. Bubba Wallace 5. Cole Whitt 6. Dennis Setzer 7. Brad Keselowski (O_O) 8. Brad Smith (O_O) 9. Brad Keselowski (Again) 10. Jimmie Johnson 11. Jimmie Johnson (Again)

Great Nascar videos you earned a new subscriber keep them coming

2:46 I love Rick Allen. He has some of the best modern-era calls out there. So much energy. That's all I'll say about that lol

That last one with Jimmy Johnson, wowzer.

Them were some hard licks, I tell you hwat...

5:54 ARCA BRAKES!!!!!!!!!!!

6:06 god damn that was a hit

Holy SH*T! 😳😬😳 great compilation, these are some of the worst I remember or have seen.. geezus....

Missed a good Kenny Wallace one from 2001 I believe driving the 98 Stacker 2 car. The Mark Martin 1997 one is nasty too

5:34 that is dedication to your job, you got hit by a car and thrown to the ground yet you get back up and continue on with your job

Some really hard hits. Crazy how much safety shit is put into these nascars

I was in turn one for that Cole whitt crash at the Glenn

Now that I think about it, there's been a lot of brake failures since they ditched the "Car of Tomorrow"...

I got a headache just from watching this. Thank god for all this safety tech.

I find watching the races on television and whatnot to be extremely boring and uninteresting, but I do enjoy these videos.

Johnson took a wicked lick at the end

I always love when the 48 car hits the wall or got no breaks !! Lol makes my day !

Let's play a game, every time the phrase "that's a hard lick" is said, you take a shot!

Shows how far safety features have come when you compare the 'tap' into the wall that killed Dale Earnhardt to the brutal hits these guys walked away from.

6:03 y'all ever heard of ArCa brakes?

Dw: brakes were working for sure... L8r: what was the problem? Brakes went out

Come on now give these drivers a “brake.” It wasn’t their fault…

Great video. However you forgot ken Schrader's brake failure at pocono. That was a scary crash

Boy look at that thing Look at THAT THING!

"He was doing the same left-hand turn!" XDDD greatest comment i've ever heard, case closed. :D

me in racing games ramming into things: i don’t see a problem here

Yikes that last one...looks as if the barrier didn’t do much to slow him at all!

Must be nice to watch NASCAR live

Stayed for the entire video because I knew Jimmie Johnson at The Glen was going to there.

Man, some of these are terrifying...

That 50 Cal had a FN FAL hand guard lol

It's really something rather, idk, emotional? In hearing them just chat away and then suddenly react to the crashes.

that last one, yah, the safety gear did it's job, going that fast and stopping that quickly and walking away? damn good job

Pocono is flat out dangerous.

>Worst Brake Failure They don't even have brakes

That Jeff Gordon one at Pocono always hurts for me to watch, especially when he comes out and lays down by his car

The last one was gnarly

Wild slides as a result of brake failures in NASCAR? You better believe it.

With the amount of money and work that goes into these cars it baffles the mind that these things happen.

I kate kb but great video

I was at the 2015 Daytona 500 and Saw Austin Dillons Car Flip.... My Heart Broke.. But When He got Out of the car I thought he was dead... But I Remember When Mike Harmon Hit the Inside Wall Hard, But Good Thing they both survived.

Alternate title for the video: "Worst crashes in turn 1 at Watkins Glen"

4:58 I WAS AT THAT RACE!!!

Man Jimmie would've have walked away had that been only a few years early. A lot of progress in safety has been made at that track

DW's bones feel it every time he sees a driver smack the wall. You can hear it in his voice. I admit DW used to get on my last nerve but I respect how much he cares about all the drivers. It doesn't sound fake or put on to me

Bubba wreck was the worst one i experienced in person sounded like a big gun going when he hit

Turning right is a little tricky when your use to turning left all the time I'm not even joking the cars are modifed oval shorttrack cars but the drivers are the same NASCARS were never factory desinded to run road couses it was added to circit to boost spectator murality how ever Gordon was the man to beat at the Glen back in the day

You should do pit road fails

My_Melody: Oh my goodness what a hit

Someone should invent some sort of "emergency brake" to use when normal brakes fail. Maybe activated by a lever type control that could be eased up to prevent wheel lock when possible. Not sure if we the technology yet though...

You forgot Martin Truex Jr's 2011 crash at Martinsville with Kasey Kahne

brake failure is scary shit. You dont know how much you rely on them untill there is none.

It’s incredible that those men are safe after these crashes especially the last one. Makes you wonder why normal automobiles are not even close to being that safe

Jimmie Johnson exists Brakes:aight imma head out

that arca crash was scary as heck

I was there for Gordon's crash at Pocono, he hit that wall so hard it actually broke.

Bubba wallaces wreak still makes me cringe! What a lick he took!

Could u do a video on running out of gas moments

You can't have a brake failures list without Jimmie Johnson in the 92 car at Watkins

“Thats a hard lick”

6:28 and 8:17 definitely looked the worst, glad there weren't any casualties in the video. Can't imagine dieing to a break failure. (In NASCAR heaven) How did you die? Oh, the usual. Crash due to break failure. You?

The only one I didn't see on here was the one from Kansas where Almirola lost his brakes and slammed into Danica. As I recall he missed the next six races due to injury.

I was going to suggest Geoff Bodine's crash at Watkins Glen in 1989, but after looking it up and watching it more closely, it appears his brake failure was a result of tire failure. So, I'm not sure this wreck fits the criteria.

When the brakes blow you got three ways to stop in a race, 1. Engine brake, but that won’t do much if your at track speed. 2. Slam the wall, but that wrecks yo car and hurts lien hell. And 3. Slam into the poor bastard in front of you.

More hard licks then a tootsies pop commercial

Nice

I don't get why they decide to try and dive inside to scrub speed instead of running along side the wall and taking a softer hit

First one was actually a hung throttle. Scary stuff.

5:30 that jack man hit to his chest, there is NO way that didn't injure him. Hard to watch
