#11 - Pretty sure this is Gary Cooper and Paul Dean Holt's fiery crash in the 1978 ARCA 200 at Daytona; there's already an entry for this particular wreck in the CPdB.

#13 - likely Paul Feldner and Roger McCluskey in the 1974 Governors Cup 250 at the Milwaukee Mile for USAC Stock Cars.

I've cropped it for the CPdB. Perhaps there is a better version in the crash photo section already, but I can't say I remember seeing this before, so...

A piece of debris from the crash makes it look like Holt has his arms sticking out of the car. Looks pretty odd.

It's actually a bit of a classic, and I wonder why I haven't added it before now. Seen it dozens of times. Coulter drove in different series, so I am not sure which this belonged to.
CRA Sprint cars, Feb 29.
Saw the name of the photographer once on a website, Kerchoffer, Kerkhoffer, something like that.

That's a frame from a video with the USAC emblem, and it shows the same crash as in pic #4. I thought we had it in crash pics, but I couldn't find it, and I did all the relevant pages.
