It was in testing on Monday after the Gatornationals, so i doubt anyone would have a video, other then the team. And why would you wanna see it.

Its been discussed over and over what happend, there is no need to watch the video or see it.

These videos are great... and amazing tribute to an amazing man.

i you look at the video's you see eric with a lot of kids! he was always into making the kids happy and its so sad that eric didnt ever have a chance to have any of his own he would have been a great dad! and he had the best dad too! john medlin is amazing for how he hold his faith in god and his racing family!

yeah the car didnt actually crash, it hit the wall but thats not what caused the death, it was a severe vibration from a tire so a video would prolly just make you say, "wtf??"
