The Worst NASCAR Season 

Best Martinsville race ever.

16:41 it's debatable if that's the most Tony Stewart comment from Tony, a few years before that, he was racing for the championship against the front runner, Carl Edwards. I believe their was 5 races left in the season. Carl Edwards had just won the race and Tony came in 2nd. Tony walked over to Carl Edwards while he was still in his car and said "Hey Carl, that was fun and enjoy the win because Im going to win the championship and the next few races coming up!" Tony went on to win the next few races and the championship. While in one of those races, after a pit stop set him back, he was heard over the radio saying "Here kitty kitty" while catching up to and passing Carl Edwards to win that race. Now that's a Tony Stewart comment to remember.

“That felt like it hurt. Heck, I’ve heard of wreck in’ a guy but not giving everybody a (bleep)-in’ headache!” -Dale Jr after seeing the crash 🤣 “Wow.” -Jeff Gordon I’m glad Jeff won that race! Being a fan of that driver all my life since the late 90’s, I was excited! Too bad he didn’t win the championship and that snob Kyle Busch won it (I know there’s gonna be hate for this comment since I heard he’s gained some fans but I’m not afraid to express my opinion. He still did some things that I will never be happy about). I don’t care about Logano much. Just my opinion.

"Bet I can make him do a flip." - Stewart prior to murdering Kevin Ward Jr. in front of a crowd and getting away with it.

@@jameshubbard7720that’s actually awesome. NASCAR never fails to amaze me haha.

This will definitely impact local Trout populations.

@@chipsdubbo4861Mike Trout populations?

Sad.

And without an Earnhardt on the grid

And without waltrip in the booth

yeah that's a great video

That's one hell of a video, I go rewatch it once a month dude

One of my favs sports quotes ever.

1 guys is a multi time champ and the other is forgotten. Cope. 😂😂😂😂

@@joshdude1975 holy shit a lagano fan get the fuck out of here nobody wants to see you there

If u watch that race Joey was coming for 3 seconds behind and fast he had better tire then Matt and Matt was trying to defend but got wreaked

His radio explaination was the best too!

Kenseth had had more than enough It wasn’t just Kansas, Logano blocked him entering pit lane in Talladega, and then he thought Brad wrecked him on the restart in Martinsville

Was this the same season where he sneak attacked Brad?

At this point he’s gonna need that to win a championship

The fact there's no repercussions for destroying a driver's championship by taking them out of a race intentionally proves this point to be correct.

@@jacobmassey3897 Eh, you’d get parked if you did.

@@jacobmassey3897tell that to Logano when he wrecked Kenseth for no reason at Kansas

@@crippledcrusader1321 did you watch the video lmao?

That was such a huge moment for me as a fan of both Jeff and that 24 car.

​@@twiellieS A M E

It was!!! Being a fan of that driver for all my life ever since the late 90’s as a kid, I can tell you that, even though I don’t think I’ve seen the race on tv, but later on RU-vid, I was excited when he won the race! Too bad that snob Kyle Busch won it. 😔

@@ethanschmid410418 moment 💯😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Yea, but all of his 4 championships were won normally though

You should watch NASCAR with some friends. It’s actually super entertaining

Wasn't Dillon's crash in 2014?

​@@resyrum5301Nope, it was 2015

@andrewmeyer4124 No it wasn't. It was 2014

@@resyrum5301 definitely 2015, you can easily look it up

2015 Coke Zero 400.

And truex's win at Pocono

2015 was also my first (and so far only) race I attended in person: Homestead to see Jeff Gordon who I wanted to see race live at least once before he retired. (I’m not American)

idk, Kenseth destroying Logano at Martinsville was the moment of the decade.

​@DaytonaPrototypes well yeah, that goes with it. Gordon only won because Logano got taken out. Those moments are paired together

@@DaytonaPrototypes As a Hamlin fan at the time I had been waiting nearly two years to see that moment, it was something special. And after constantly shitting on Jeff Gordon (because my dad was a fan. Good grief kids are dumb) I found myself rooting for him in the end and just being overjoyed to see his celebration. The fall Martinsville race that year was truly something special.

Nah

9 words to begin a sentence that can rule it as invalid. Congratulations, lOgAnO fAn. 🤣😂

@@gregkoelling how does a being Logano fan invalidate an incident that happened to Logano

I thought so too, but the last few seasons I'm not so sure. I think he just needed to find someone who wouldn't fight back again.

Nah, Kenseth was such an ass that day that any and all respect I had for him was lost. Such a chump move.

I remember getting excited when I saw that!!! “Oh my goodness! Matt just got more fans than he’s ever had in his life!” -Chad Knaus, Jimmie Johnson’s former crew chief

Yes

Ya bet

Absolutely. TBH I'm surprised you haven't made a "How I run NASCAR." video. Like you're now in charge of NASCAR so, what changes would you make.

IMMEDIATELY send the playoffs and stage racing to hell @@Joshua8824Racing

I enjoyed the early 2010s minus 2013, then Nascar started swiping power away

@@hotdog9423 I got into nascar in mid-2009. I really enjoyed 2010-2014, and 2016 the most. Nowadays, with the way NASCAR is, I just watch less races nowadays and just go by what I wanna watch

Wasn't that Gustafsons voice saying that?

Ikr

Absolutely. I'm honestly surprised you haven't made a "How I run NASCAR." video. Like you're now in charge of NASCAR so, what changes would you make.

It's been made be others and honestly I use NWP to vent those frustrations@@Joshua8824Racing

@@Joshua8824Racingthis is an interesting thought

@@Joshua8824Racing throw it in the garbage and focus on Indy and F1, that's how I'd fix nascar.

2018 was decent in my opinion had a lot of good races

Worst rookie of the year in brett Moffitt. Drove for two separate teams due to early injuries moving Ragan to gibbs to replace Kyle busch. And then goes to the 34 with front row. And at this point they were still the underdogs and buescher wasn't there yet. Best finish that season and only top 10 was an 8th. FRM didn't really have the speed on most tracks, and he finished 34th in points. The whole rookie title was bullcrap too. The other guys were Jeb Burton and Matty both BK racing teammates, who tied for 2nd in the rookie league standings. Brett is a former truck series champion turned xfinity lifer doing spot hot seat races, Matty D is a part timer, and Jeb becoming an xfinity lifer says everything you need to know about how nascar was going at that time

Same here man. I was a fan of that driver all my life ever since I was a kid in the late 90’s and I was sad when he announced his retirement. Someone in NASCAR said during that year that if the format hadn’t changed, Jeff would’ve won those 3 additional championships and joined Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty! Even before Jimmie Johnson became a 7 timer, might I add! Jeff Gordon is the GOAT!!! Period!

Gordon is the G.O.A.T

I started watching in 2003 and at the time I just liked the paint scheme but I learned who and what he did and 21 years later well here we are

To watch a loser take out a race leader on purpose because he's a little cry baby, leading to that winning driver losing the playoffs in a sport that shouldn't even have playoffs? I watch it for the racing. It sounds like you're more of a Desperate Housewives/reality drama queen fan than into auto racing.

He suffered from it more than anyone but Gordon

I fully agree with you on the gimmick show. Darrell Wallace was complaining about the speeds at Talladega back in the 90's, Dale Earnhardt went on TV and told Darrell Wallace if he can't handle it stay at home, otherwise put your big boy pants on, shut up and race, that's what we get paid for and if you can't handle it you don't need to be here! That's when NASCAR was racing! Not entertaining. **NASCAR, stop entertaining and start racing again!! Stop trying to please the fans of the losing drivers and changing rules, races, cars and championships to appease them!! Release the horsepower and damit let them boys and girls RACE!!!

@@williamheller1362 I would argue Harvick suffered from it more than Gordon

If gordon got to 7 he would have a legit case to be the GOAT. Now some people dont even have him top 3@@hunternixonfishing2500

I’m glad someone else noticed

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any year where the point leader after 26 races was eliminated in the first two rounds. Truex came close last year, but still limped into the round of 8. So I don't see how that change would affect anything.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T9zIbwsDomY.htmlsi=_cvZX7zNcmlfbneW

I would note that his video shows how they go under the 2014-2016 system. Playoff points fix some of the most egregious things about that system, like Harvick and Dale Jr.'s winless championships going to Edwards and Kenseth respectively.

Another detail to include about Talladega: The plate races to that point were starting to get controversial. NASCAR chose to ban tandem drafting in the Nationwide and Truck series after Kyle Larson's crash in 2013 resulted in injuries to spectators. The plate race prior to the fall Talladega race was the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona where Austin Dillon's car was launched into the catchfence. NASCAR decided that the crash was the result of overtime finishes and said that for Talladega they would allow only one overtime attempt. On the first attempt, a crash happened that everyone thought would end the race, but NASCAR clarified that the attempt only counts if the leader crosses the start/finish line on the restart. That rule (which was changed to the overtime line rule soon after) is the only way Kevin Harvick would have advanced.

It's a shame that Bowyer got eliminated so quickly into the playofffs, especially since if he didn't, Bowyer and Michael would've been fighting for the title

This is why I consider Gordon as the 2015 champion
