Championship Seasons: Tony Stewart 2005 

So I was incorrect at the beginning. It was actually three championships that would have stood in either points system. 2005 Tony Stewart 2012 Brad Keselowski 2017 Martin Truex Jr

This was worth the long walk home in the rain

Now we need 2011 championship seasons tony Stewart

I remember 2005. It looked like the championship would be between Johnson and Biffle, but all of a sudden Stewart came out of nowhere. He did the same thing in 2011. Came out of nowhere.

One of the best racers of our era, the guy loves to race and can win in any type of car/series he's in.

Tony's 3rd title was an epic battle with and against Carl Edwards over those last 10 weeks!! And to tie after all that racing, was amazing.

The amount of racing records Tony holds is still amazing. Being the only driver to win a championship in both NASCAR AND IndyCar, the only driver to win a NASCAR championship under both the old points format and the current Chase playoff format, arguably the greatest rookie season in NASCAR history, the list goes on.

Ive been a smoke fan forever

Smoke was my 2nd favorite driver behind Jeff Gordon. When those 2 took that lap around the Glen together it brought me to tears.

As a Tony Fan this was by far statistically his best Season Yes 2011 he won the title but in terms of Just Raw Numbers his 05 Season was king.

15 years later that 2005 Brickyard win still brings a tear to my eye. It was perhaps one of the greatest wins ever in Nascar, up there with Dale Sr Daytona 500

1:17 The control and skill to not lose the car 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No one could touch Tony at Watkins Glen that year. The one practice session that occurred Tony was over 2 seconds ahead of second. Needless to say the only reason he didn't lead every lap was because of pit stops.

This is the season that turned me into a Stewart fan. Man I miss him!

4:45 damn look at those filled front stretch seats

You're my hero for including 2004. One of my favorite seasons! Also love your quote: "Greatest summer run in NASCAR history" 😎 Good memories man!

There’s actually six 2005 Tony Stewart 2006 Jimmie Johnson 2009 Jimmie Johnson 2012 Brad Keselowski 2013 Jimmie Johnson 2017 Martin Truex Jr

We absolutely need a 2011 Championship season video!

Championship Seasons: Jeff Gordon 1998 Bad Seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2014 Championship Seasons: Tony Stewart 2011 Bad Seasons: Carl Edwards 2012 Championship Seasons: Chase Elliott 2014 Bad Seasons: Tony Stewart 2014-2015 Championship Seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2017 Bad Seasons: Dale Jarrett 2003 Championship Seasons: Tyler Reddick 2018 Bad Seasons: Terry Labonte 2004 Good Seasons: Kevin Harvick 2018 Bad Seasons: Bobby Labonte 2005 Good Seasons: Kyle Busch 2018 Bad Seasons: Jeremy Mayfield 2006 Good Seasons: Matt Kenseth 2013 Bad Seasons: Kasey Kahne 2007 Good Seasons: Mark Martin 2009 Bad Seasons: Matt Kenseth 2009 Good Seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2016 Bad Seasons: Ricky Rudd 1999 Good Seasons: Clint Bowyer 2012 Bad Seasons: Dale Earnhardt 1992 Good Seasons: Bill Elliott 1985 Good Seasons: Tim Richmond 1986 Good Seasons: Harry Gant 1991 Good Seasons: Rusty Wallace 1993-1994 Good Seasons: Greg Biffle 2005

So I became a fan of Nascar 1.5 years ago..... I totally had a Tony Stewart lunch box when I was kid tho

I was born that year. Wish I could have seen that season.

I love the use of that the 2005 DVD footage. What’s the title of that?

Tony Stewart showed during that season he could win at anytime, anywhere anyplace and got a couple of wins that eluded him and had arguably his best shot at a Daytona 500 win, but nonetheless that 20 car with a new paint scheme for 2005, he drove like a champion and had a positive outlook over the season and climbing a few fences along the way.

Thank you for making these videos. You sound young when you speak and for me that is a comfort because I am young as well and love love love Nascar. There aren't enough of us young fans but seeing the history you share gives me hope. So thank you again.

Been hoping for this video for a long time. Great job.

Championship seasons: Darell Waltrip, 1985 Terry Labonte, 1996 Good seasons: Dale Jarrett, 1997 Tim Richmond, 1986 Bill Elliott, 1985

I’ve waited a while for this video

Earl sweatshirt and Tony Stewart. Great combo

Was a great season I've watch during my teen years. I've even bought the HD jacket the next year and still wears it almost every year.

Excellent video my man. I was at NHMS when he climbed into the flagstand then into the grandstands, I had a Sr shirt on earlier that day I decided to buy a smoke shirt I still write under the flag stand when Tony got out of the car I hollered his name and it looked at me and pointed at me gave me a thumbs-up on the shirt we need more of Tony Stewart's nowadays NASCAR old school say it like it is

One thing I forget and kind of makes me sad when I watch these 2003-2005 highlights is how consistently Jamie McMurray was in the top 5 or competing for a win. He was so underrated in the 42 and he had his career evaporate at Roush.

Good video as always, Darian! That Home Depot Chevy Monte Carlo looks gorgeous! I miss it and Tony so much...

Smoke was on another level this year!

Great video my friend

Good seasons: Austin Dillon 2018

And Tony was sick winning that first race of 2005 🤒🏁

Can't believe this was 14 years ago. This era seems like maybe 5 years ago.

*I LOVE YOU I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!*

How about championship season jeff gordon 2001

Please do championship all of Jimmie Johnson championships in one video!

Love the earl sweatshirt in the bg

12:08 I totally forgot that Adam Alexander was an MRN reporter back in 2005. That's pretty cool.

FYI...SMOKE! Winner of three Championship Cup Series in NASCAR; Winston Cup in 2002 (Pontiac), Nextel Cup in 2005 (Chevy), and Sprint Cup in 2011 (Ford). NASCAR's Rookie of the Year 1999! Personally, I own three diecast models with SMOKE's signature during his championship run series, call me lucky and blessed! I also own SMOKE's rookie signature diecast model of 1999 when running for The Joe Gibbs Stable, No. 20 of Home Depot in Orange! Again, lucky SOB! Sorry, IS NOT FOR SALE! P.S. Hard-core NASCAR fans from all venues were offering somewhere between $6 to 8Ks USD dollars for SMOKE's rookie diecast model with his signature of which I own one unique classic. That was back in March of 2006 and five years later, SMOKE wins his 3rd Cup! Today, SMOKE's rookie diecast model of 1999 with his own hand-print signature is worth approx. $13 to 15K USD and increasing as a co-owner with Stewart/Haas Stable. Again, I'm a lucky SOB! I also have a No. 14 diecast model with his genuine signature as pilot and owner. Amen.

Nascar drivers: I hear no man But that thing (tony Stewart chucking) It scares me

Big fan of his from the start in stock cars. I remember this season vividly. Visited the JGR shop on vacation after the first Dover race and the next week he started his summer run! So I'm not saying it was because of me..... but..... 🤔 Not to be a buzz kill but I'm still hoping you do Tony's 2006 season for bad seasons still. Even though he had 5 wins, he ended up missing the chase.

I was 5 back then I remember this season real well

At 11:43 there's a guy taking a selfie with a telephoto lens on his camera, in 2005!

2005 was when i was born

7:24 One of the most heartbreaking losses as a Kahne fan.

Bad Seasons: Martin Truex Jr. 2014

I wanna say good seasons Derrike Cope 1990. But was it?

Tony Stewart, the NASCAR biggest BADASS all of time

Lol Tony & Jimmie were my 2 faavourites when I was a kid. For Jonson seeing Stewart get his revenge in July and becoming the champion that year was a big slap in the face!!! HAHAHA XD

tony stewart AND earl sweatshirt??? SUBSCRIBED!!!

Glad you did this one man; the day you posted it was rough for me and you helped make my night a ton better, thanks for that. I was 12 and I got diehard into Nascar that year starting with Daytona. Pulled for Jeff and Mark but I wanted someone else to pull for as they were getting older and in come Smokey. Always hated him after 2002 because he beat Mark and was a bit of a jerk but damn if he didn't win me over during that stretch. You had Johnson and Biffle winning all the time that year and it was blah that first half. No one liked Jimmie and Biffle was just meh so the fans badly needed someone to pull for and Tony just took off it was amazing to watch. He could do nothing wrong those couple of months. He actually coulda won more but he let a couple slip away. If he hadn't he woulda had an epic streak ala Gant's. Don't know which win was more epic to watch: Daytona for how dominant she was or Indy for how awesome of a win it was for him. Watkins Glen he just dominated like Jeff used to do. Me and my family became fans of him and it was a great rest of that year. Johnson fell off and Biffle hung in there (still pissed at him for beating Mark in the finale lol,) but Tony was just too strong. Def his season in time. Wish he had won the 500 there; Jeff really didn't need that win.

His summer run was incredible He whipped the field at both Daytona races

There will never be another Tony Stewart. Drivers these day lack the fire, and the personality he had.

Johnson’s ‘06, ‘09 & ‘13 championships would still stand

Bad seasons: Chevrolet 2018

1️⃣4️⃣ Tony stewart TS🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏁🏁🏁True Champion Real racer one of the Goats 🐐

For a minute I thought this was a bad seasons video 😂

How about a Kurt Busch championship season video. That would be cool -he asked in a respectful tone-

U should do Jeff gordan bad season in 2005

4:42 Tony Stewart's best plate car. Also won the 2006 Pepsi 400 in that same car

This was the best 20 team ever. This team right here describes what nascar should be

Tony could just never win the 500 and I'm not a big fan of his as a driver but man him not winning one is like Mark Martin never winning a championship. Good video and it's bad to think both Austin Dillon and Trevor Bayne have more 500 wins than Stewart.

Tony Stewart is the only champion in the playoff era to win a championship without winning a race in the final 10 race stretch. Ironically, 2011 marked the only time a champion who won all the races he had in a season during the playoff stretch. That driver was also Tony Stewart.

And after 10 races in 2005 it was looking like it was about to be Good Seasons: Jeff Gordon 2005.

Bad seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2009, 2014

That is because he passed before crossing the line and advanced his position and took out Kahne. I was so pissed, but nascar let it stand and never penalized him for it like he should have damit

Good seasons: Jamie McMurray 2010!

Anyone remember the guy who jumped out in front of Tony’s car in that sprint race and got killed? I live about 10 miles from the track where that happened. It’s stilled talked about around here.

yeah correct

earl sweatshirt caught me off guard

I wish the cars still had that scream on the super speedways.

Met Smoke today

Definitely a great season. Only Jimmie Johnson was really close to out-performing him.

Is it tight? Yup. Tire falls off We need to have a conversation on the definition of the word tight.

Will you do a good season of Denny Hamlin

Yooo few will notice the Earl Sweatshirt

It Would Be Cool If He Won The Daytona 500 In 2005. His 2005 Championship Season Could've Been Better

Tony Stewart is one of only 2 drivers in the Chase era to lead the points after Race 26 and win the championship. The other one is Truex.

Shh... don’t tell anyone but I forgot Stewart won ‘11. I thought it was ‘02, ‘05, and then I was dumbfounded.
