Robert Yates Racing's 2006 Season: A Nightmarish Outcome 

What can really sum up RYR's 2006 season is Elliot Sadler being on the nascar 07 cover after he left the team.

Yeah...a really terrible season. BUT! How slick were those primary UPS and M&M’s paint schemes in 2006?

I actually didn’t know Eddie D Hondt was the GM for RYR.

Man it was hard being a yates fan in those days. When DJ left i jumped on the carl edwards train

As a Sadler fan, it was obvious he was going downhill after he made the chase in 2004. 2005 was a bad blur and you explained 06. He didn't do any better in #19 and honestly looking back it's probably for the best. Yates fell apart quick after Daytona 2007

As a Dale Jarrett fan, I am ready for the pain. Would need to recap his God awful 2003 season. Had a great first two races, and then fell off of a cliff. That was brutal!

NRF: "In all my years of doing videos I've never seen a team collapse quite like this" Everyone else: Have you not heard of Roush Racing? Lol

after 2021, maybe a 2021 SHR Nightmarish Outcome video should come out.

Poor ol' DJ stepped from the frying pan 🍳 to the fire 🔥 when he joined MWR. 😬

16:28 he got his ride just "because he won a busch race?" bruh i think he was the only non-Cup guy to win a busch race that year, and he did it in an unsponsored car too. Thats a pretty impressive accomplishment

As a longtime fan, since birth, practically (35 now, so it gives you a good idea of how long i've been watching lol), love your videos & enthusiasm dude. This was one of those teams I liked growing up, & was sad to see shut down after ALL they did (despite still building engines to this day I think). Always loved them, & Morgan-Mcclure (had to, especially when hometown icon Kodak was the sponsor for years), seeing them downfall so fast disheartened me. Yates had such talent for years. Sadler could have been something, but this year was when everything went downhill. Jarrett leaves for MWR to finish on a sour note, gets replaced with Skeet Ulrich's uncle (Ricky Rudd), who's last year was 'meh', Sadler leaves halfway to go to dumpster fire Evernham (gotta love the Mayfield incident...oh, that has plenty to talk about on every platform lol), gets replaced by David Gilliland in a head-scratching rush-up move, then we see Travis Kvapil come on board down the road, & alas....history for RYR. Such a whimper for a team that was so dominant for years.

What's interesting is that Elliott Sadler who was the cover driver for NASCAR 07 left Robert Yates Racing 3 weeks prior to the game's release

Please do Team Penske's 2006 Season: A Nightmarish Outcome

A suggestion Roush Fenway Racing's 2015: A Nightmarish Outcome

Jarrett was on the chase line entering coke 600 then plummeted

Thank you for the flashbacks I really enjoy them

Haven't watched your videos in a while but you seem back with a vengeance dude. I like the details in these last 2 videos and good topics too.

Do HMS 2000, how they went from being on fire to a mediocre rebuilding season

Idea: JGR 2017, Up and Down or The Fall Of Richard Petty

I loved this video. You did a great job! I really enjoyed watching. One suggestion I do have is to remove the NRF logo in the middle of the screen, but other than this is awesome. Love your channel buddy!

It would have been great to see Jarrett pass three more cars and win at Kansas.

14:31 Went Into A Full Meltdown.

R.I.P ROBERT YATES

Love the dying light soundtrack in the back

Robert Yates should have 3 more Championships that he head Atrociously bad luck stood in the way of that

This was pretty much the nail in the coffin. Other than Stephen Leicht winning at Kentucky in 2007 in the Busch Series, things were done for Yates Racing. It was depressing too as I still have memories of the classic era of the Quality Care Ford and DJ winning the title and while the 2000 Daytona 500 was boring, Jarrett winning his third was still a moment I treasure to this day. I still miss the team but Front Row Motorsports has inherited the spirit of Robert Yates Racing in my opinion from a multitude of factors, especially performance on plate tracks.

R.I.P YATES RACING 1989-2009

And also David Gilland ran several really good races in the 84 car and showed he was a consistent driver

It's kinda sad really as someone who likes Jarett and Sadler. As someone else commented, those primary UPS and M&M's paint schemes were gorgeous.

When are you going to do the 2007 NASCAR Silly Season video?

I'm still a believer that Yates should have traded Sadler to Roush for Ragan and that way they could have had Gilland and Ragan in the 38 and 88 respectively while Sadler could have taken over for Mark in the 6 car and probably could have won Roush another title if he was in that ride.

You though Yates was bad that year just take a look at SHR's 3 other cars besides Harvick this year...

Not sure which scheme was better, Sadler's 06 M&Ms or Gilliland's 07 M&Ms

I got Elliot Sadler's 2005 pedigree car recently

If Nascar 07 released for 360 and PS3 Sadler appears with Evernham suit on the cover Gilliland drives 38 and Stephen Leicht in 90 Busch Series car.

Don't shit on my guy David Gilliland

My suggestions are Hendrick Motorsports' 1985 Season: A Nightmarish Outcome and Chip Gannasi Racing's 2018 Season: A Nightmarsh Outcome

Can you do Roush 2015?

NRF: one of the best nascar youtubers with the worst hot takes

you use the word "albeit" quite a bit. haha. still a great video. "and Robert and I decided..." a quote from Robert Yates? haha he spoke in 1st person. And Jarrett in 1999. Good video.

Sadler Was on The cover of NASCAR 07 when Driving The #19

RYR never recovered from the 2006 disaster because 3 years later the team shut down.

2006 is why I continue to defend David Gilliland to this very day. It wasn't his fault at all. Sadler and Jarrett weren't doing jack shit either. Sadly, it seems the other teams didn't see it that way and he never got another decent shot in Cup.

No offense but Jarrett won Dega with Parrot that season and Bobby Labonte and Parrott were doing fine together in 06 I don’t know where u are getting your information …

Wait Eddie D’ Hondt was here?

Something on wood brothers

Most of this sponsors went to Kyle Busch in 2008 😁

If they would've found a way to keep Todd Parrott with Dale Jarrett after 2005, i think the 88 wouldn't have become such a dumpster fire, Jarrett would've had a better ending to his career & maybe another win or 2

lol

Do DEI

2007 bad season than shut down

Always thought Sadler was a sorry driver , he sucked everywhere he ever went.

2003 and 2006 were absolute crap for Robert Yates Racing, and this was not long after a great 2001 and a good 2002. Their performance and results would never truly improve, and they closed the doors after 2009.

It was sad to the Yates fall from a powerhouse team to mid pack mediocrity
