The Worst Hendrick Performance 

2020 Coke 600...."Hold my late race shenanigans."

You know it's bad when you get taken out from the lead at Dega...before the race even starts

"Who expects a race at Talladega to go caution free?" *2001 Talladega 500 would like to know your location

This race was really bad for them. To have no Hendrick cars finish in the top 35 was crazy.

Darian, don’t forget that the 2013 Quicken Loans 400 was also a race where Hendrick fans like me would love to forget. Juniors engine failure. Candy Canes crash JIMMAY’s crash Gordon’s crash

Random note - this is Jamie McMurray’s first race

"Hendrick Motorsports would never be this terrible again" 2018: "Hold my beer".

Could’ve been worse “Cuts to 2020 Coca Cola 600” “Denny Hamlin’s car takes a diarrhea dump before the start” “Johnson’s car fails post race inspection” Oh wait it did.

Fenix Tx's "Get Outta My Dreams is song playing just a reminder for those who are asking the song name!

I don’t feel as bad for Mark Martin now for taking out Johnson on the pace laps, Johnson’s motor was going to blow anyways

Interesting as usual! This race was a race to forget for Hendrick.

Ngl this is probably the best storytelling I’ve seen in a BFM video. Keep it up!

Notes from this race: Martin's team had a steering box issue. It only showed up on an abrupt crank which he did on the pace lap. Since the race went green he never had to clean his tires. After the race on the cool-down lap he jerked the wheel again and the steering locked. It was pure bad luck for them both. Also, HMS I do believe pinned this to a bad batch of parts as to why they suffered such bad failures if memory serves me right. Plate engines have always run lean but I believe their issue was valve spring related as none of their cars showed smoke. Amazing to have that many engines go and not get a yellow at all.

The turnaround from this to winning 6/8 restrictor plate races from 2004-2006 is also quite incredible

I remember being at this race and man oh man the place went crazy when Jeff Gordon dropped out of the race being a Gordon fan and all it hurt but the 2004 Aaron’s 499 was sweet to see him win till they started throwing beer cans and yelling at you cause you are a Gordon fan lol gotta love Talladega

Remember when we used to have the possibility of caution free races. Those were good times.

Once this video got going, I definitely remembered this race! Great recap of the day Hendrick Motorsports had here!

Has there been another driver like Jimmie that sucked in the lower ranks but dominated the Cup series?

And ironic thing Dale jr won who eventually ends up driving for Hendrick

Is it because of the 90 minute collapse in the 600?

I was there in the stands that day. It was blaring hot, my 10 year old self was miserable that day. Combined with the fact that my driver, Jeff Gordon, lost an engine and the race went caution free, it was a terrible day for me. Even though I'm 27 now and have the Talladega infield on my bucket list.

Got an idea for you The worst Thorsport Performance Las Vegas 2019

With Dale Earnhardt Jr winning, Steve Park finishing 6th, and Michael Waltrip finishing 8th, it was a great day for Dale Earnhardt Inc.

2:00 “Nice throw!” *Only people who already saw RawGators new video will understand*

How about 2005 Sonoma, another no good very bad day for Hendrick. All cars finished outside the top 25 that day.

Hendrick: You didn’t see anything. Right?

Seeing Johnson being turned in the pace lapa of the race reminds me of his wreck at the Talladega fall race from 2015. And it reminds me of so much fuckery as well

The last race ever to go caution free

Great turnaround for Hendrick from 2004-2006, winning 2 500’s and 5/10 restrictor plate races

HEY! YOU! GET INTO MY CAR!

This was the first race I ever went to. MY dad took me when I was 12 years old

7:34 “Hendrick Motorsports would never be this terrible again.” *2017-2018 would like to have a word with you*

I actually remember watching this race.

This makes me feel SLIGHTLY better since the 5 minute catastrophe during the Coke 600.

RIP Benny Parson, loved those NBC broadcasters

HMS: *has a bad race* Everybody: thats it thats the end for hendrick better start packing your bags Lol great video

Ahh~ Loving that Nascar Thunder BGM =w=

Gotta love the Fenix TX Get Outta My Dreams cover music in the background

124 laps in without any single yellow in sight Rick Hendrick : *sweating profusely* Gordon's engine blew up, followed by other HMS cars and customer teams in the next 70 laps Hendrick : *OH LAWD THEY BLOWIN OH GOD OH FUCK*

5:02 sounds like Kyle Busch yelling. Specifically like the 2017 Coke 600 "AHHH, AHH DAMN IT."

"Hendrick Motorsports would never be this terrible again" *Entire 2018 Hendrick season* am I a joke to you?

Hendrick Fans like myself were tortured after seeing this race and video😂

some say this track is cursed...and this race was a good example of that, as matt yocum said when interviewing chad knaus after that pace lap wreck "its the bermuda triangle of winston cup stock car racing"

NASCAR Thunder 2003 vibes

New Hampshire was another bad day that stands out. Bowman even had to go to a third car.

Even worse than the 2011 Daytona 500 for the Hendrick guys

NASCAR THUNDER 2003 MUSIC YES

rookie of the year that year ryan newman

I love that you put nascar thunder music in your videos

Gordon has 7 championships, screw the chase.

Really enjoy the old thunder music playing lol

The Worst DEI Performance: Fall Talladega 2007

DJ: wow we got some action going on before we ever get started here. ah yes 2002 the championship no one wanted. you failed to mention many things in the storyline. Sterling Marlin who consistently had the points lead faded. then had his season ending neck injury from crashes at Richmond and Kansas. many guys still had a legitimate chance to win the title entering talladega. the top 9 were within 201 points with 7 races left. Martin's bizarre mechanical failure. Randy Dorton's new engine gamble backfired and Gordon and Johnson never recovered. BP's golden benny award claimed another victim. after fininshing 2nd this race Stewart took hold. stayed consistent never looked back and claimed his maiden championship.

Don't forget 2013 Michigan Another one of Hendrick's worst races ever

5:35 You know you are hated by fans in Alabama when you can hear the crowd over the green flag action.

I had no idea this race was caution free

The stupid thing is that Jimmie Johnson retired as a seven time champion, all Chase and Playoff wins. If NASCAR had never created the Chase and replaced it with the Playoffs and kept an aggregate championship, Jeff Gordon would've retired a seven time champion.

2007 fall Dega had almost every ECR engine puke

All six drivers ended up with a DNF.

What crazy is that 02 Ea Sports 500 race was caution free one few times that's ever happened@ a plate track.

these cars just sound amazing.

Would like to see a championship season on Terry labonte or a bad season on bill Elliot or Texas Terry🤔

Just as you thought this year’s Coke 600 was bad for Hendrick...

The Worst Penske Performance

This makes the Charlotte Race look like a good day for Hendrick Motorsports

Wasn’t this part of the Benny Parson curse? Benny Parson handed out the Benny award each week and if I’m not mistaken he gave it to the Hendricks engine department at this race. I think the next week he smashed the Benny award with a hammer and said he wasn’t giving them out anymore.

Fans before this video- 2018 hendrick season was a bust Fans after this video- 2002 ea sports was a bust for hendrick *forgets 2018

Hendrick just doing too much to catch up with a DEI boys and it backfired horribly. Can’t fault them for trying at lease but that Petree/Earnhardt/Childress alliance was just too incredible

Darian I sent you the script man

A drive for 5 would have happened if they didn't chance the chase format

Yes!! New vid!

That race was a nightmare.

That race was the only time when a team suffered the worst luck.

Ironic this showed up on my feed today

BFM: “Hendrick Motorsports would never be this terrible again” Me: Until the start of 2018

I really like these videos! 😁

Ah the good ol days when DEI reigned supreme...and hendrick motorsports weren't worth a lick at the superspeedways... unless you were Brian Vickers and just sideswipe your own teammate to win it all...ha!

I think another bad one was at Michigan in either 2012 or 2013, Both Gordon and Dale Jr. I think blew up and Jimmie was leading but ran out of gas racing Biffle for the win?

Thanks for upload that video

Oh god

2:55 "Jeff Gordon has won here a ton of times before" ...uhhh he only won there only twice prior to that race

Tried to watch this whole thing but got halfway through the video before it froze and said I have to pay to watch the rest of the video because the race was sponsored by EA

This race would end on fuel mileage. 13 gallon fuel cells led to this being caution free.

If only the wicked witch of the south didn’t ruin DEI 😢

I remember that race real well it fucking sucked.

Okay this doesn't count because these were mainly engine failures. Which is completely out of the driver control mechanical failures happen.

love the soundtrack

This race was an oof

As a huge Dale jr and dei fan I was so happy to watch Dale and dei spank Hendrick motorsports that day as they usually did at plate tracks

Didn’t Gibbs have an alliance with hendrick from 97’-07’

Frisky Nixon already did a video about this.

Only reason drive for 5 never happened was because of the stupid Chase... he should have had 7 when all was said and done.

You should do this for all the big teams

The Worst Ganassi Performance

Now I want to play tunder 2003

The last race the was caution free

How fitting was it that it was called the EA Sports 500?

Worst hendrick moments: 2002 talladega, 2012 martinsville, 2020 Charlotte
