No Credentials Classic NASCAR Crash of the Week

     With the NASCAR season beginning in just 3 weeks, No Credentials is starting a new weekly video series dedicated to the most memorable crashes in NASCAR history. No fatal crashes will be included (look for those yourself sickos). We'll do our best to link the crashes with past events at wherever the upcoming race will be, although that will be a tough task when we go to boring tracks like Kansas.
     The first three weeks will be dedicated to Speedweeks at Daytona, and we start this series with the most famous qualifying crash ever. Let's go back to 1983, when Cale Yarborough had just completed the first qualifying lap over 200 mph at Daytona. He was in the middle of his second lap when he encounted an issue.

 

      A 40 mph wind gust was the main culprit of Yarborough losing control. After destroying his Chevy, his team trucked a Pontiac Grand Prix down from Charlotte to race in the 500. Yarborough passed Buddy Baker on the last lap to win the race.
