*WARNING FATAL ACCIDENT - VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED* Fonty Flock, after apparently getting caught between two lapped cars, spun out on his 18th lap of the 1957 NASCAR Grand National Southern 500, while running 9 laps down. Bobby Myers, according to Paul Goldsmith, did not see Flock's stalled car and smashed into him. Flock was then hit by Goldsmith. All 3 cars turned over in the mess. Myers's engine was ripped from the chassis. He died one hour later. Flock retired after this, although Goldsmith wasn't seriously injured. Note - This is taken from the race highlights video, which has already been posted on Youtube by leif44444 among others, however, this exact accident has not been posted in this length and quality. Full credit goes to them.

Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s Fatal Crash (Live With Replays)
This is the live footage of Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s fatal crash. Dale was one the greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, and he will never be forgotten. On the front stretch coming to 3 laps to go, Earnhardt made contact with Sterling Marlin's front right fender. Earnhardt's car wiggled but Earnhardt kept control and he remained in third position. Marlin was known for having a fast car throughout the race, and Earnhardt repeatedly blocked his attempts at passing during the last few laps. With less than two laps remaining, Darrell Waltrip commented that "Sterling has beat the front end off of that old Dodge (Marlin's car) trying to get around Dale (Earnhardt)". Heading into Turn 3 on the last lap, Earnhardt was racing three wide with Marlin to his left and Schrader to his right. In the corner, Earnhardt's left rear quarter made slight contact with Marlin's front bumper. Earnhardt's car slid off the track's steep banking, onto the flat apron, and then turned sharply up the track toward the outside retaining wall. As the #3 car came up the track it collided with the #36 Pontiac driven by Ken Schrader. Schrader's car hit Earnhardt's car just behind the passenger door, causing both cars to run nose-first into the wall. Earnhardt's #3 hit at a critical angle at nearly 160 miles per hour. The right-rear wheel assembly broke off the car on impact. The hood pins severed and the hood flapped open, slamming against the windshield as the car slid slowly down the track. To most observers, the crash looked minor, and certainly not as dramatic as his famous 1996 wreck at Talladega, when Earnhardt's car was pelted several times in the roof and windshield as it slid across the track. While Michael Waltrip raced toward the checkered flag to claim his first victory, with Earnhardt Jr. close behind, the cars of Earnhardt and Schrader slid off the track's asphalt banking toward the infield grass just inside of turn four. After climbing from his car, Schrader peered into Earnhardt's car, only to jump back and signal for EMTs. As medical crews converged upon the crash scene, NASCAR on Fox reporter Jeanne Zelasko asked Schrader about Earnhardt's condition. "I'm not a doctor, but I got the heck out of the way as soon as they got there," Schrader said solemnly. Earnhardt was taken to Halifax Medical Center by ambulance after being removed from his car. Hours later, at a press conference, NASCAR President Mike Helton made the formal announcement to the world saying, "Undoubtedly this is one of the toughest announcements I've personally had to make. But...after the accident in Turn 4 at the end of the Daytona 500, uh, we've lost Dale Earnhardt." R.I.P. Ralph Dale Earnhardt
