Biggest crash of the afternoon involving Ken Schrader, Kyle Petty, Michael Waltrip, Buckshot Jones, Sterling Marlin and Kevin Harvick

This is one of the most amazing crashes we have ever seen. This is from 1990 at Bristol Motor Speedway, when Michael Waltrip crashes his NASCAR Busch Series car into the gate, ultimately running head-on into the end of the concrete barrier. If you watch closely, the rescue workers lift up the roof sheet metal, and there’s Mikey, basically sitting on the ground in his racing seat, still holding the steering wheel. It’s only by the grace of God that Michael wasn’t killed in this accident. We remember a later TV interview with Ned Jarrett where Waltrip acknowledges that he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior as a direct result of this crash.
