NASCAR: The 10 Worst Pit Road Accidents

No. 6 – 2007 Kroger 200

The worst thing about these kind of incidents on pit road is that nobody ever sees them coming, nor do they expect them to happen.

Sure, you expect that at certain tracks cars might bump a bit on pit road. However, you don’t ever head into a track thinking that a crewman is going to be hit by a car. This situation was even scarier as the crewman didn’t bounce back up like some of the others did on this list.

What’s even crazier is that there was a time in NASCAR where safety equipment for crewman was optional. Can you imagine getting hit by a racecar and being launched into the air while not wearing a helmet? There was a time when that was actually a real possibility, thankfully this gentleman had himself a helmet.
