how about like a tshirt or socks i mean i'm not 7 action figures aren't really my thing anymore... if however in 20 years your toy is worth thousands, you will be vindicated
I feel like the slow devolving of your icon going from Admiral Ackbar to this whole new parody avatar of your own is quite similar to the metamorphosis of SMG4's OC Meggy. Only difference is one is cringey, and the other one is you. ;)
Hi EmpLemon! This is a completely unrelated question but I'll ask anyway. Is it okay with you if I create my own "Never Ever" video in honor of gaming legend Jonas Neubauer? He was my inspiration, and passed away in January. His 40th birthday is this month, and I really wanted to do something special for him. Thanks for reading!

1: "if they buy more, you'll have to make more" 2: "if they buy bundles, well you gotta get some drivers to ship them" 3: "Or just don't and make this a limited release" EmpLemon chose 3
What's with some of these people getting triggered at this? I get it's one of those little plastic knick knacks that get seethed at, but it's from an early 20 something with an esoteric youtube channel collaborating with some canadian company. I personally don't want it, but it's not like he just signed a deal with disney or is some giant mass appeal phenomenon like markiplier. If there's anything to have an impotent temper tantrum at, go rage at the funko shelf in walmart full of actual dumb trash like "venom spiderpig" or whatever they're peddling.
My favourite Driver of all time is Richard Petty but my favourite car was the 48 Lowe’s. And I’m on the opposite side of the world where they race Australia
You totally missed what really happened at Michigan with Spencer and KyBu! After the "incident" all of Busch's in car audio was released that he intentionally ran into Spencer then after from the in-car camera footage showed hat Busch had goaded Jimmy Spencer into punching him. The reason Busch was not suspended is... He was sponsored by Sharpie, The Sharpie 500 at Bristol was the next race. Which the 97 car "won"..I am not sayin g the race was fixed the the car that also carries there races title sponsor would win but it just looked fishy to me.
Thanks for making another nascar video. Your Dale Earnhardt video inspired me to start watching races again like when I was a kid, now I tune in every week and I'm a huge Logano fan. When I saw the martinsville clip in the thumbnail I was ecstatic, your videos are always such high quality.
I just re-watched Rare Items ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIzuV5p-maw ) and am coming back to re-watch this. Your work is absolutely excellent. Your delivery has gotten SO good over the years it absolutely blows my mind. The production has steadily improved, but nothing feels stiff or too showy. The pacing is top notch, and the content is not too thin or thick. You're absolutely killing it out here.
I was at the 2015 Martinsville race. When Kenseth pile-drove Logano into the corner, the crowd cheered louder than at any other race I've attended. The only Logano fans in the entire place were sitting right in front of us.
It was almost enough to make me feel sorry for them.
F1 cars wouldn’t last 3 laps with the degree of punishment stock cars dole out to one another.
They’re very different forms of Motorsport with very different rules. The rules are different because contact that is relatively safe in a stock car would kill someone in an f1 car.
@bucketslash11 GT cars are covered in fragile aero. You can end someone’s race just by making contact. Thats not how stock car racing works. The cars are durable and can remain competitive after taking a beating.
WRX is rallycross. They’re jumping off of crap and racing on dirt. There’s no advantage to be had by running into each other there and it would be dangerous on certain parts of the track so why would it be allowed?
Funny is an understatement. The first time I saw one of the drivers run on the track to taunt somebody, I had a slight chuckle. The third time, I had a hearty laugh, gasping for air. No offense, my American friends, but I absolutely love that every single popular sport in your culture is full of knuckleheads. F1 would be so much better if emotions ran a little higher, to say the least. Sportsmanship is one thing, but entertainment is a different beast.
@【ハンス・フリッツ】 it’s the problem with all EU sports. There is something fake about the culture over there where etiquette is valued over realness. F1 is so political that it ruins what should be the best racing org in the world. I still prefer NASCAR over F1 strictly because of the rivalries and not nearly as political with sister teams teaming up to pressure FIA for rule changes and things of that nature.
I miss NASCAR in the 2000’s, just the aesthetic of the broadcast, the excitement it brought, the amazing PS2 games. When NASCAR is on TV you can’t confuse it for anything else.
The turn 11 on Sonoma I've been fortunate to drive myself and it is one of the most jarring experiences to go from that high of a speed of around 100MPH+ to make slowing down to 40MPH feel like you are Gary the snail. Awesome work on this dude!
It’s always cool to see more high profile people with experience in the area comment on videos like this. Plus, it really shows how good Emplemon is at making these types of documentaries. Hands down one of the best channels on YouTube.
This is basically how I feel when a car with Vermont plates pulls out in front of me and proceeds, as they always do, to go 10 miles under the speed limit
While I've never been too Sonoma, i have raced in NH, and on the way home.. i cause myself doing 90, and it felt like i was doing 30. And my late friend and i were in his old ex UC Crown Vic, and it was completely stock, and managed to get it up too 145MPH. It's amazing how going fast for a certain amount of time will make other speeds feel like the pace of a snail
Love your NASCAR stuff. Never unironically watched a race in my life, but it's always cool seeing somebody illuminate sports narratives in a way I never would have considered.
"The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose." Absolute banger. I generally have been watching less video essays recently because I find a lot of them to be kind of pretentious, but that line was straight fire.
I feel bad for Matt Kenseth. It took a lot of emotional maturity, fortitude, and humility to maintain composure, avoid drama, and to just focus on being his best self. Humility is often mistaken for weakness, but his casual revenge on Logano proved he's no doormat. Respect. Sorry you had to race with so many douchebags, Matt. You're definitely the better man.
David Richardson2021-04-16 04:04:50 (edited 2021-04-16 04:05:10 )
@The Duality of Man he was one of my favorites even though I never cared about nascar that much. Just because he’s from my state lol. But now I respect him for a real reason.
@David Richardson I just liked him because of his car, the 17 just looked cool, and I cared more about how their cars looked than the actual drivers lol
At 5:16 they made a call, cause of death, drove into wall. They Intimidator collided with Ken Strader, then he died, 2 seconds later. Jr. was screaming and saddening, not me nope, I was the only one laughing. I stood in the crowd with a smile on my face, I was certain a NASCAR fan would me spray me with mace. But instead, they sat there with grief, only to wish they had more than eight teeth. I didn’t want to write this poem cause I knew it was mean, but then I thought, well Earnhardt, you should’ve raced clean.
Revenge is the opposite of humility and emotions are not optional , you cannot control them and drama is an adult behavior aka mostly found in adults there for it is an adult behavior which means it's mature .
The fact that he had to deal with Brian Vickers wrath is so sad maybe if Kenseth retaliated then maybe Joey wouldn’t have dumped him at Kansas and had a true shot at a second one
@Ryan Wilson you missed his point. Kenseth retaliated after Kansas but he wasn't talking about the retaliation...he was talking about the original incident where Joey dumped him when he really didn't need to since he already advanced but since he wasn't known to retaliate Joey thought he could get away with it
@Ryan Wilson Well, if they really are facts, then why were they deleted? I don't think you'd want to be known as someone who'd be known for obscuring such vastly important information...
...Though, then again, judging by the comments directed toward you, maybe it's better you kept your mouth shut in the first place.
This video brought back great memories of watching nascar in the 2010s with my dad. The nascar fandom was delighted to see Logano wrecked by Kenseth that fateful day
Hearing you say “Jeff Gorden is a racing god” Warmed my heart, I have been a Huge 24 Fan so long i saw his last race in person, i remember going to his pit and wishing him luck and told him that ill miss seeing him race, He told me Not to worry, Keep the Number 24 In your heart
William Duh2022-05-10 11:23:54 (edited 2022-05-10 11:24:11 )
29:30 Just finished watching the end of the Darlington race where he drove through Byron to win. Amazing how everything you said about Logano in this video played out almost word for word at Darlington.
This guy puts in this much work and effort to make these quality vids, while other channels can regurgitate the same shallow content and get just as many views. People need to start supporting real quality content like this more so we see more channels going that direction.
@El Esqueleto lol, says who? You? In the age of the Internet, information is everywhere. Isn't hard to learn more about any topic. Besides, what do you want him to do? Interview nascar drivers? Good luck.
@El Esqueleto but why? You didn't give any good reasons other than because he didn't go outside. A documentary is literally just documenting information. Don't need to do anything special to make one.
This video is an actual award winning piece but will never get recognized as such since this channel isn't in the club. To me, this is better than anything corporate fat cats could ever produce
@A Lonesome Wolf Jesus. It’s perplexing how you just called someone a “zoomer” then immediately proceed to misuse “there”. Effectively undermining your entire point of lack of maturity and knowledge…
made this reply before but i actually like television docs this is more of a hulu documentary...... wait hulu actually spends money on theirs this is like a paramount plus documentary or prolly peacock
I'd say he's got a way with words and storytelling, to the extent that even Nascar is entertaining, even to people who have no clue what Nascar is about.
“The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose” Amazing advice. I want to use this as some kind of quote.
It always amazes me that so many great advice quotes come not from other jobs but from NASCAR! I believe another driver said something like "If your normally loudmouthed opponent is suddenly quiet for a long time, he's up to something and it won't be good when he strikes."
broo its crazy that you commented almost the exact same thing as me but 5 months after and your comment has almost 100x the likes as mine lmfao i don't care or anything just think its so cool how social media impressions work xD
I could happily like this video just on the basis of the masterful music selection. But it turns out it's also a well thought out narrative about violence and revenge framed around a sport history so finely made that it is both enternaining and didactic. Truly a masterpiece of the medium
ive watched this video so many times already, and yet, everytime i watch im thrilled by the pationate stories these legends left behind. It makes me think about life and how theyr quotes and situations can be used as examples for real life events that may occur to anyone. Thank you EmpLemon, to make this masterpiece of a channel
I’ve never watched a nascar race in my life but the story telling and character building in this video was phenomenal! Made me want to go to a race to be honest, just not something I was ever exposed too.
I have never watched a race in my life. This documentary alone not only brought a lot of insight to the sport, it might have single handedly made me a posible fan. Great content and even better delivery. Truly enjoyed it.
With all these great examples of drama (and I mean that in the best possible way) in the sport of Nascar, I'm surprised Tom Cruise isn't making a decade's late sequel to Days of Thunder like with Top Gun.
For real, no sarcasm. It would be one of the easiest scripts to write;
Tom plays the veteran driver, Cole Trickle. Cole's best days are behind him, he hasn't won a race in years and he's looking forward to retirement.
After a mediocre season, the team employing Cole let him go. With nowhere left to go, Cole takes a job as a team manager for a new, independently owned racing team. The driver/owner is Buddy Burns, son of Rowdy Burns. Rowdy's passed away and Buddy's dream is to be a Nadcar champion like his father had once been.
*Vicrory is vital because Buddy has invested everything he owns (including his body shop and home) to finance his team.
Cole manages the team and coaches Buddy through the racing season. The drama/conflict comes in the name of Zac Graham, a rich kid driving for another independent team his daddy financed for him. Zac sees the tallented Buddy as the main obstacle to his own shot as a Nascar superstar.
As the racing season goes on, Zac pulls dirty tricks - bumping Buddy into spinouts (pitt maneuver) either off onto the grass or into the wall. Cole tries to keep his best friend's son from giving into the urge to get payback and to drive clean.
At the end of Act 2, Zac knocks Buddy into a high speed spin, right into the paths of dozens of other racers. Buddy's car gets repeatedly hit and the young underdog is left too injured to race.
Act 3, with the last and most important race of the season left to go, Cole gets behind the wheel of Buddy's backup car. On one of the most challenging track in Nascar, Zac sees Cole as a feeble old has-been and an easy target. However, the far more experienced Cole dodges Zac's attempted bump, sending the cocky rich kid into the wall. Cole crosses the finish line in first place.
0:49 okay, but that was a pretty good hit, he actually managed to hit the car while it was at that speed and it did a satisfying bounce off of the bonnet and bumper.
Matt Kenseth is my favorite racer because he teaches us one of the most important lessons in human history. No one is obliged to be nice to you. People are nice to you because they choose to be, so don't take it for granted because no one is absent of choosing differently at any given point.
On top of that, just because someone's a nice person doesn't mean they can't do something to screw you over in any way, shape, or form. Respect is something earned, not taken.
Be kind to one another...... because if you go around being an insufferable prick...... one day someone will wake up and choose violence and you'll be on your back in the blink of an eye
Peaceful men are far better than harmless men, as peaceful people are capable of dishing out great violence if they want, harmless men are just that, harmless
@Danny Caracciolo Yeah, the lesson here is to be nice to one another. Unfortunately, many edgy pricks think being a dick to everyone is a virtue because they think people need to "earn" basic human decency. It's ok, those people always get what's coming to them, whether it be through karma or just ending up old and alone with nobody who cares about them.
I love this, because it takes me to an era of relaxing on Sundays with my dad as he watched nascar. I was never a huge fan of nascar, and barely watched. But I remember all of these things. This takes me a time, in my childhood. Thank you.
Kurt Busch's antics at Roush/Penske/Phoenix should be an entire video in itself. I've never seen a man lose his sanity more in a racecar than Kurt. Every team radio from him was golden.
I have never really been interested in car racing. This is the third video of yours regarding NASCAR I have watched and omg they are great. You are a wonderful story teller.
Great video emplemon. Masterfully produced from the music, commentary, and especially the editing. Some of these shots were super-stellar. You clearly put a lot of pride in your work.
I love this. You've reminded me of why I genuinely kind of like Nascar. Yeah it's a bunch of circles - but read between the lines, and there are some pretty captivating stories.
As a Jeff Gordon fan, watching Matt Kenseth take out Joey Logano, leading to Jeff’s 93rd and final win, was one of the best NASCAR moments of all time in my opinion.
"The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose." is such a powerful line

I'm British, and I've literally never watched Nascar before i started getting loads of Nascar videos turning up in my Recommended Videos (this being one of them), and I've already decided that Matt Kenseth is absolutely my favourite driver of all time, just because in this 5 minute video, EmpLemon made me hate Logano so much that I've just got to root for him (even though he's retired)
Oh no he lost hard. His primary sponsor, Dollar General, pulled out of the sport entirely. Unable to find another sponsor, Joe Gibbs Racing forced Kenseth to retire despite his wishes to continue racing.
@Rally Wagon 2015 had several really solid drivers. Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch were extremely competitive and were better than Logano most of the year.
@Darron Hansen for example: 1. Asuna Yuuki and Ran Shibuki's rivalry in 2014 that also goes to Rosberg and Hamilton. 2. Verstappen vs Umi Sonoda and Hamilton that lasted throughout 2021.
I loved that nascar game with the rep system. And how they had beefs already in it. Racing with dale jr and having Robbie Gordon go out of his way to wreck you lol
This is great. I realize now more than ever that what makes racing great is the personalities involved in it. Watching anonymous cars, or even marques, race against each other just isn't as thrilling for me. It really is about the people behind the wheel. This video does a great job of going into the different personalities of the various drivers, their driving styles, and the interactions between them!
NASCAR isnt very fun to watch. but the history is fascinating and the papyrus games (mostly NR2003 as its the most popular and most modded) can be very fun, as drafting and driving into gaps between multiple racers can be fun to do with more constrained time and amount of laps. i havent played the Thunder games, but its focus on giving drivers personalities and rivalries is exactly the kind of thing i wish more career modes in racing games had, so i'll need to give it a look.
@petrolhex I suppose NR2003 is the American equivalent of F1 Challenge 99 - 02, a popular F1 game also from 2003 which is still frequently modded to this day.
Matter of fact, I even have a mod with all the seasons on it. It's super fun if you don't mind some of the bugs.
@Minerva's Owl i like a lot of these older racing sims a lot, because back then complete games with no micro-transaction and games as a service non-sense were published, and they were usually easier to modify. same reason why i like rFactor. not only that if there are mods with a historical focus thats great too. going through multiple generations of racing and experiencing first-hand the changes that were made over time is really cool. that reminds me, i should try Grand Prix Legends, tho im sure its too hardcore for me.
@Minerva's Owl The Cup Series is going to like 6 road courses this year. Including the Daytona road course earlier in the year. It is a good time to get into it.
I think in general any driving sport is interesting if you know the disputes between the people like I'm just as interested in the stories about the divers in NASCAR as much as F1
I did like Nascar as a kid but only because I was waiting to see them crash, it was definitely a lot more popular back then though with stuff like Cars, Talladega Nights, and the EA Sports games.
Certain media just isnt worth watching unless its in a condensed state. I love dragon ballz but i would never recommend someone to watch without constantly skipping through. Same with streamers and nascar. There isn't enought there thats worth watching for a few good moments.
The test of a great story teller is whether or not he can generate interest in a topic in an audience that normally has no interest in the topic. I too, have no knowledge of NASCAR or stock car racing nor much interest in it, and yet these stories are compelling.
I glanced and saw Nascar in the title and thought "Oh, I can skip that, it's not like it's another EmpLemon Nascar video." Next time it pops up, holy crap it is, now I gotta watch it.
@The Slick People complain about the current package, but it's better than F1 when it's a 1-2 Mercedes show. I think F1 driving takes incredible skill, but the disparity in the sport hurts it.
@God Is void the tracks, the cars, the teams, the sponsors, etc. They're not even the same chassis. Nascars are all slanted to the left, including the bodywork, wheels, tires, and even chassis, and can't turn far to the right at all. Stock cars are basically nascars but for going both ways and not having any slant in any components. The difference is comparable to sprint kart racing and autokart cross racing. Completely different, but look similar from the outside.
@Egg T Emplemon made a video explaining that NASCAR is more than just “people driving cars in a circle”. Literally that exact phrase is one that he threw shade on in the video.
nascar sucks. and ad breaks in it. revolting. you know what us english did when they put adverts in the middle of f1 races? stopped watching. result. no ad breaks during the race anymore.
@Gplgs i did. once. it was shit to watch. the cam followed the lead car for about 4 mins then went to ad breaks. then after the 5 mins adds it did same again... fuck that. nascar sucks.
@Egg T you are stripping away all the complexity of the sport itself That's like going to football and saying "It's just guys running back and forth with a ball!" You strip away from the elements that makes a sport what it is. Nice try tho
This video is an actual award winning piece but will never get recognized as such since this channel isn't in the club. To me, this is better than anything corporate fat cats could ever produce
@Cynt Destroyer Comparing F1 to NASCAR is insane to begin with. They are two very different racing styles Lewis Hamliton, Bottas, Prime Michael Schumacher, wouldn't be able to even compete for a top 25 finish. I also think Prime Jimmy Johnson, Gordon, or Earnhardt SR would fair about as well in F1
When Joey spun Matt look how close he was hitting Logano about 59 feet as he is drifting for this overhaul when joey got spun look at the damage of matt I mean great move but dont just spin nudge him
@Phil Spaghet well that’s the thing, you can drive automatic with a manual license but you can’t drive a manual with an automatic license. Automatic licenses are just kinda useless. I don’t yet have a license and but i have learned to drive manual so I don’t know why Americans don’t just get a manual license
@Ploppy JR We don't have manual/automatic licenses in the US, you just pass the driving test and you can drive either transmission. I did the test in a DSG Jetta and now I drive a manual S2000 and I didn't have to change licenses for it.
@Cynt Destroyer That's because the sport is all about the money. The team with the most money always wins. Once you realize that, its not that fun to watch. In NASCAR, its much more about the whole team, like if one person on the pit crew fucks up, the race is over. That's why I would prefer to watch NASCAR over f1.
With the Elliott-Hamlin rivalry, here’s everything it had in common with the Gordon-Bowyer rivalry: 1. The 24 got taken out by a Toyota at martinsville. 2. Micheal Waltrip has had a funny interaction with the Toyota driver. 3. The 24 got the Toyota back at Phoenix and took them out of the championship fight. 4. Both 24 drivers are very well known.
Great job! Thanks for creating it... I don't like NASCAR, I watch the wrecks, but stories explaing WHY some of the shit that happens prior to the incident at hand makes people see it in a different light. Have a Great New Year!
i have absolutely no clue about nascar and just as little interest in watching grown men fight like petty toddlers, but this was still a very interesting video to watch. if i take away nothing else, i can at least say for sure that kenseth is the absolute goat
It’s amazing how people like Emplemon can take such a seemingly niche topic such as NASCAR or high jumps and turn them into half hour long entertaining and thought-proving videos for the masses. There are very few people on this platform who can do that, and it’s a nice break from all the fake, political, drama ridden videos you normally find. Sure, there may be hundreds of people on YouTube with much larger audiences. But regardless, Emplemon will forever be one of the greatest of all time. He’s made entertaining content for just about a decade, maturing with his audience. And he feels like a friend in that sort of way.
@Malik The profiles behind these comments have been on YouTube for years, have many of their own comments (none of which promote me,) are subscribed to many people, do you think that sounds like an alt? I understand that you would be suspicious, but please, use some logic before labeling me as a self-promoter.
@Malik It sounds fishy but not everything is a ploy for views. You recognize people outside all the time, but do you think those people are just seeking attention?
I never watch any political video, what's the point of this? Every politic is driven by personal desires,lol, honest people will never reach any success in politics, so what's the point? It kinda resembles me a joke. When some guy said "philosophy is full of crap", philosoper said "go learn it". After 20 years of learning philosophy, that guy said again "philosophy is full of crap". And philosoper's answer was simple "It is"
emp has said his documentary-style videos, such as this one, is inspired by jon bois - the best storyteller on this platform. he primarily covers sports but his non-sport content is just as fantastic and interesting. another great one (also inspired by jon bois) is summoningsalt, who covers speedrunning video games. and finally, yet another channel self-described as being inspired by jon bois is KTO, who does some of the most entertaining sports content you’ll find.
no matter the subject, if you can make a video as entertaining as emp has done here, i’m here for it.
"In the game of revenge everybody loses" except for the sport and fans as a whole. It's literally provided the best drama in the sport over the generations. Otherwise it's just cars turning left.
@Daniel Curtis politics aside, bubba wallace is incredibly unlikable; and he’s not very good. the fact that he’s now being pushed as “the face of nascar” is embarrassing and just virtue signaling.
@alex no he’s hated entirely because of politics, you now have the backwater maga Hicks suddenly hating bubba but loving guys like Landon Cassil who has done nothing in his career. Bubba has a few truck wins and nearly won a race at talladega in mediocre equipment, but you people just can’t get him out of your head.
@Daniel Curtis hahaha sir, i assure you bubba wallace is not in my head. much to the chagrin of nascar, who clearly is pushing him to be “the guy.” you named one race he ALMOST won at, but didn’t. he is no longer in inferior equipment, the best of the best actually, and is mid-end of the pack every race. he is NOT good, and he’s irrelevant to me as far as where he’s at, i wouldn’t pay any attention to him if it weren’t for the broadcast updating where he’s at positionally (usually in the mid-20’s), every 10 minutes.
i have literally never heard of someone being a landon cassill fan? and then to assume they are a fan of him only because they dislike bubba due to politics is strange, but go off i guess. it seems as though you’re a frustrated bubba fan, i hope for your sake he somehow manages to crack a top-15 finish this year - which he has yet to do lol
alex He's gotten 3 16ths this year. One at Daytona because of a loose lugnut Another at Phoenix because of a bad pit call A third at Martinsville because he decided to be stupidly aggressive. He can run well but he gets screwed over by: A. Mechanical B. Pit Road C. His aggressive driving style
@Blue K Rool93 seriously dude? he’s driving a gibbs car, same equipment as hamlin & truex who finished 1st & 3rd today and are currently sitting 1st & 2nd in standings. you’re giving excuses but he’s literally done nothing to prove that he’s not just bad at racing.
i literally wouldn’t be surprised if he’s replaced in the next couple years if he doesn’t start doing better; something tells me michael jordan isn’t fond of losing.
@alex guys no, he’s not in a Gibbs car. That’s like saying DiBenedetto is in a Penske car. They are aligned with Gibbs, but don’t use the same equipment nor have the exact same resources. Bubba essentially took over what C Bell had last year, and we see how Bell essentially kinda ran midpack
Ian Perry Adding to this Bubba can run Top 15, Top 10 , as shown these past few races. Only problem is other issues with the cars Like when he blew a tire at Bristol Or had a loose lugnut at Daytona
This video shows one of the biggest reasons I will never watch Nascar, full of childish drivers, crashing the better driver on purpose just because they accidentally bumped you, or just passed you, and looking at the drivers, Nascar doesn't seem to be physical sport at all, I mean half of them look like they eat a whole cow for breakfest. so the motorsports go F1> rally> MotoGP> Isle of Man> Indy> Everything else> Nascar
“The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose” is such a ridiculously hard line.
I love it when I tell people I absolutely love Joey Logano. I get the same thing: “he’s an ass why do you like him so mutch?” I like the fact that he’s an ass on track. Sometimes a good villain is more interesting than a hero
Still one of nascar’s greatest work of marketing, and it was made my a very skilled YouTuber. Spread the video, spread the love, thanks for the video homie
XD you can get away with a lot because the cars are meant to take a bit of a beating and comparatively slow so the drivers can take more liberties and risks with revenge
It's very much a part of the sport, not necessarily the drivers. For example, Tony Stewart is often characterized as being aggressive, but before NASCAR he drove in the open-wheel IndyCar series. Robby Gordon has driven in almost every series imaginable, to include IndyCar and CART. 'Clean' drivers like Jeff Gordon and F1 converts like Juan Pablo Montoya certainly hit plenty of people as well. And it's just a fact of pack racing. You have 40+ cars on tracks ranging from 1/2 mile (800m) to 2.5 miles (4km), in cars just as fast as F1 but usually nearer their top speed. Where F1 tends to have longer tracks and a smaller grid that stretches out into a single-file line over time, NASCAR usually sees its cars running in close-quarter groups 2-3 cars wide, so hitting each other is just what you expect. Overtaking isn't just getting around a single car in front of you, often it means breaking through a track-wide wall of 3400-pound (1542 kg) cars.
@Cypher五毛usuh the fact you say that means you know nothing of the sport and skill it takes to navigate by 40+ cars all usually going their max speed. im a fan of all vehicle racing, they all take skills, different ones yes. but skills none the less. ive had family race in local stock car events, i plan to follow once i can afford it.
You must not have watched Schumacher before his 5 titles at Ferrari, huh?

The key difference between the American attitude and Western European attitude. Europe racing is about precisely moving your car around obsticals/racers. American racing is all about precisely moving your opponents car into obsticals/racers. Both require immense skill and focus.
@FinalFantasyBlades They go right sometimes too 😜. They have Watkins Glen this weekend and Indy Road next week.
Either way, it's about running the track consistently. There are many more opportunities to make a race-ending or race-winning move on an oval than there are on a road circuit in a race of similar length.
In addition, the cars are also quite hard to control, as while they have plenty of downforce its much, much less than that of an open-wheel with similar HP.
Thank you for the accurate version of the Kenseth Logano thing instead of the version where Matt was the very very bad guy and was very very wrong because he wasn't on the lead lap (aka because he took out NASCARs favorite son for whatever reason)
You have just made me a matt kenseth fan from this one video. I love me good clean racing and sounds like he is the goat in that regard and honestly i loved him taking out lagono at the end despite my love of clean racing it felt so deserved and it was awesome! :D
@Daniel Curtis As someone who has spent over 20 years watching the sport(not by my own freewill), I can safely say that it is just guys driving in a circle. People passing each other, isn't "action". But keep trying to defend this awful sport.
@Ripley bruh passing is very entertaining at least to myself and most nascar fans. Also if you’ve been watching for 20 years you would know the amount of skill that the drivers need to wheel the cars around the track.
@Daniel Curtis It also takes a lot of skill to golf. Doesn't mean it's entertaining to watch. Passing isn't entertaining. "Oh my god! Did you see that!? Tony Stewart just passed Newman! And it took him 3 laps to accomplish it!". It's not entertaining. Sports in general are not entertaining to watch.
@Ripley if you didn't watch sports out of your own will then im not surprised you didn't like watching them. If that is boring for you, then what do you consider as exciting?
@nintendo dual-screen tbh there are a lot of sports I find enjoyable to participate in, but sitting and watching someone else do it is boring as hell, I'd rather eat my left leg than spend my entire weekend watching someone else's sport.
@Kawazephyr 川ゼファー Everyone has opinions but just to make fun of NASCAR with just saying race cars go round circles is just wrong, watch this. NFL are guys tackling each other for a ball, baseball are people hitting balls with sticks, soccer are people trying to kick a ball, and finally, golf is boring people hitting small balls in holes. Give some respect PLEASE.
@Ripley like tbh, sports are really meant to be played rather than watched. I’d assume people watch sports to support teams or players, kinda like when parents support their kids when they play sports. Alternatively, people who have played certain sports (like baseball, basketball, etc) watch to see their idols play. Or maybe in the case of racing, that could stem from the love of cars (and/or brand loyalty to a manufacturer).
But personally I think playing a nascar video game would be more enjoyable than watching nascar. Or playing Madden is more fun than watching NFL by the fact that you are participating in something rather than watching. Just my two cents.
@Ripley Ok, we get it, you personally think it's boring. I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish here. Do you honestly think any NASCAR fans are gonna read your comments and say "Wow, he's right, now I also think NASCAR is boring. I'm so glad my eyes were opened to the truth."
@YELLOW TITAN Well a lot actually do admit to it. And on the opposite side of the coin there's you guys who think it's entertaining and try to convince others that it's not just left turns. Who exactly are you trying to convince?
@Ripley I personally don't think it's that entertaining, but I remember absolutely LOVING it as a kid. I would sit and watch for hours. I just loved cars, speed, and the idea of racing in general. Passing was definitely exciting for me. I kept up with which drivers I wanted to win, and the rivalries and whatnot. On paper, it's not much more than left turns most of the time, but it doesn't have to be entertaining on paper. A lot of the times, it's just inexplicably exciting for people, and they all have their own reasons. It makes more sense for them to try and share that excitement with others, rather than someone trying to share their negative thoughts and ruin the mood.
@Ripley if it's any consolation, I think football is just dudes throwing a ball around, and occasionally kicking it, and soccer is just kicking a ball around.
@Ripley I know that this will sound cliche and you could take it out of context as much as you want, but: LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS
Obviously you do not like nascar and you find no entertainment in it. That’s fine and more power to you if you feel that way. It doesn’t mean that automatically nobody else likes the sport and that no one else is allowed to like NASCAR just because you don’t like it. I seriously don’t even get what you’re even doing on this video. If you hate NASCAR so much why are you in the comment section of a video that you can only get entertainment out of by being a NASCAR fan?
Take it from someone who finds nascar very boring; your enjoyment of sports completely relies on your understanding of the sport. I don’t understand or like nascar, but I do with baseball, which is also called boring by people who don’t understand the nuances
@Daniel Curtis 1, It's not entertaining to the majority of people. Even Nascar fans are starting to find it boring, which is why the sport is dying.
2, I am not going on a crusade. Apparently you people cannot handle anything but positive talk about Nascar, which is why so many of you have been triggered by my comments.
@Ripley I should of clarified with my comment, I meant that sports in general are enjoyed by the majority of people, my bad. Also it’s fine that you don’t like nascar but you are indeed going on a crusade on how much you hate the sport. I just don’t like hearing that my passion being ridiculed because “it’s just left turns.” A lot of people I know don’t like nascar but they don’t rub it in my face about how awful and boring it is to them. I’m sure you don’t like the thing you enjoy the most being shat on.
@Daniel Curtis I never knew Nascar fans were such fragile children. No, this is not a "crusade". I am not rubbing anything in anyone's face. The OP commented about how the sport was much more than left turns, and I pointed out that this is factually inaccurate. Someone pointing out facts, and criticizing your boring sport, doesn't mean I am on a crusade. Apparently anything but utter praise, is considered going on a crusade, and rubbing it in your face. I never knew how delicate Nascar fans are.
Crashing each other for victories isn’t impressive, in F1 people love how far people will go for the overtake without crashing the opponent nascar is just demolition derby in an oval disguised as racing, stock car racing can be great, (in Australia it’s fantastic) but nascar is so boring even when they do crash,
@Ripley We got a liar in the comments section tell us how do you feel lying about watching something for 20 years? we all know its bullshit but you say it anyway.
My Dad freakin’ loved NASCAR, I remember the times we’d go to Daytona and have a blast there, of course I had to wear muffs otherwise my ears would get assblasted by the “vroom vrooms.” 😂
Anyways, knowing about the revenge aspect is great; I never made that connection really.
@Ripley should someone else be telling you that your interests are not entertaining, and you're dumb for liking it as well? If you don't like it, why are you even here lmao
@Ripley damn, you just shat on all of motorsports. Imagine try to pass a dude on a 2 lane freeway going 70, but the dude doesn't want to let you by, and you have a guy on your ass who wants to get by you. Now do that going 180+ MPH and you are inches away from crashing. But you're right passing isn't action, just like how hitting a ball with a stick and running in circles isn't a sport
@Flying Spaghetti Monster I'm sure it's fun to actually do. You people love the "But it takes skill and is very difficult!" argument to try to argued that it's entertaining. Playing cards at a high level is difficult, but that does not mean it's enjoyable to watch. Keep trying though. There is a reason why the sport is dying, and has been for a long time. I can't think of one sport that is enjoyable to watch.
@Ripley I have one question though. Why would you click on a video, sit through it, and then go and shit on the sport in the comment section, when you don't even like any sports. I could show you onboard footage of group b rally and you would still say "ehh pretty boring, it's not very entertaining. I guess if you were the person driving than maybe". I bet you are great at parties my guy
@Ripley dude, 90% of the Nascar commentary channels constantly bash nascar, hell most nascar fans don't like the current nascar format, we are very open about it. We criticize our own sport constantly, we get shat on by indy and F1 fans constantly. It's not that we can't take criticism, we just don't like it when close minded individuals who never gave the sport a chance shit on it using stereotypes and pre conceived notions.
@Flying Spaghetti Monster What part of "having spent over 20 years watching Nascar" did you miss? I gave the sport a chance, but it's just driving in a circle.
@Ripley "As someone who has spent over 20 years watching the sport(not by my own freewill)" ~ Cheyenne Golden 2021
You said it yourself you didn't watch it on your own, you were forced to, which will always make things less enjoyable. At least give the CotA race a go it'll take place on May 23rd 2:30pm est on FS1, if you don't have FS1 watch the Charlotte race the next weekend on the 30th. If you don't like it you can say you gave it a shot on your own free will
@KrispyKrackers88 Oh my god. I have already explained this. I enjoy this content creator, and want to support said creator by watching their content, even when it's about topics I do not care for.
Nascar kinda scares me. Going fast on superspeedways like Talladega and Daytona, bumper to bumper, just squished into a pack of car going at almost 200 mph. Just one tiny mistake and you could be flying into the air in a blowover crash and potentially causing a "big one" crash. (A big one is the name we nascar fans give to a massive pile up, taking out all of the cars in thw process) So much is on the line here.
The problem is these people watch it interrupted, on tv. Go to a NASCAR race and it’s a whole nother level. Used to go to Martinsville and Richmond all the time and make a weekend out of it. Martinsville especially, basically a 3-day long field party.
@Cyrus people like those because you get to go out with your buddies and when you’re out with friends you could probably roll a turd around and have fun
@woof woof I don't hate it, I'm playing devil's advocate to the OP really, triggering people in the proccess. I'm not a NASCAR fan, though the drama is pretty entertaining I'll admit.
@Ripley Whether it takes skill or not isnt opinion, it’s fact, it takes skill. Whether YOU find it entertaining or not is your opinion and nobody else gives a fuck about it
@peå Considering the fact that you are replying to a months old comment, it's a FACT that you do care. You Nascar fanboys are a special bunch. Don't you have beer to drink, and family members to procreate with?
@Why Guy That's so cute. Calling Nascar "complex", is like calling Chess simple. We all know it's ridiculous, and no one is buying it. Funny how out of all the people who replied that I am wrong, haven't made a single argument against what I said, or as to why Nascar is what they claim it to be. Face it, even Nascar fans don't buy into this ludicrous idea! I don't know why you people see my old comments, and continue to reply with your nonsense. Is there really nothing else in your trailer park that you could be doing?
@Savion Day Then why don't you tell that to the Nascar fanboys who assert their opinions as facts, and can't handle criticism? And yes, Nascar is boring.
@Ripley Except how entertaining something is strongly correlated to how many people partake in something. Also, "Logical fallacy I win you lose" in itself is a logical fallacy. Your analogy doesn't work because people don't take meth for the health benefits. Instead, they do it for a high and dopamine boost. Another reason is that it is addicting. If I were to say "Meth must give a very strong high/meth must be addicting because look at how many people take it to get high/get addicted, that would not be a logical fallacy. That would be inductive reasoning. In the same way, considering "watching sports" is a form of "entertainment", if a lot of people are watching the sport, by induction the sport is probably entertaining. What isn't sound reasoning, however, is reducing the other argument to one that couldn't possibly win, and then saying "logical fallacy" like it proves you right. That is, in itself, fallacious reasoning.
@Dizastermaster Lots of words, but you aren't actually saying much. Yes, saying "Lots of people watch it, therefore it is X" is a logical fallacy. You imply that there is not only a correlation, but that the subjective views of viewers result in an objective outcome. If I say "Lots of people go to view tha mona lisa, therefore it is a good painting", not only would I be making a logical fallacy, but I would be taking the subjective views and opinions of said people, and using them to make and objective statement. Try to keep up.
@Ralsei Smoking A Fat Blunt Not really. It's the Nascar fanboys that keep whining to me. Note how I am not the one who keeps the conversation going. So new fanboy will read through the comments, see mine, and reply despite me not commenting for months.
@Dizastermaster identifying a strong correlation and then using inductive reasoning can still leave you with a logical fallacy at the end of all your induction… they aren’t mutually exclusive. you said “that’s why there are crowds at those things” …mm no wrong, people go to golf events because they are events. The event is entertainment, not necessarily the sport, the event simply revolves around the sport. There is a difference. Logically. As another nascar fan point out it was fun to go to the event but it’s boring to watch of tv he essentially admitted nascar is in fact boring but the event itself is not… at least to him
@Ripley well if you go onto a video about nascar and say it's boring, I don't understand why you find it so perplexing that people are going to defend the sport
Its kinda nostalgic seeing old nascar, up until a few years ago it was all good fun. no drama with certain drivers, all the best drivers werent retired, people who got 1st place actually won... it was better times
@Your Average Guy Not really. Sure it was uncharacteristic of Matt to do the wrong thing, but he didn't do anything worse than anyone else in this list.
Everybody knows the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" but the full saying is "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, nor horror like the wrath of a kind man."
As soon as you said Sonoma...I was like "We are about to see some Tony Stewart/Brian Vickers action" lol. I remember that race well. Mainly my buddy yelling when Tony got dumped. I also love when drivers tell other drivers they are number one via hand signals haha.
“Where is he? I’m gettin’ his ass.” This is probably my favorite Jeff Gordon quote. It perfectly embodies what happens when you piss him off. Absolutely beautiful.
This is a great video as always, but it epitomizes everything I hate about nascar. Drivers deliberately ruining their races out of pure pettiness. I feel like this kind of attitude towards racing is the root cause of why Americans are so belligerent on the road.
I mean...their races have already been ruined, so why not go after the person that ruined it. It's not like their race can get more ruined since they had no chance to win anymore anyway
As a F1 fan, I really love these little Nascar stories. They really put into perspective how different two motorsports can be across the globe. Both are awesome and exiting in their own ways. F1 is like Ivan Drago, a superhuman trained to perfection. And Nascar is like Rocky, a stone-hard fighter that came from humble beginnings.
F1 isn't a superhuman lmao, it started off with humble beginnings too.
Humble beginnings where one also races in Monaco, sure, but still mainly long straights or twisty corners and bends in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands to name a few.
Indeed, comparing the female drivers from Nascar to the male drivers in F1 is interesting. It would be good if America started competing in some male sports though, instead of sticking to all the watered down, soft, female versions of the male sports the rest of the world plays.
"Patience on the racetrack runs thin" Trueer words like that have rarely been spoken as I can attest for this. When racing you know what is a nerf, rubbing, or an intentional "takeout".
Great video man, I just sent it to my dad, I'm sure he's gonna love it.

“Some days you’re the bat, some days you’re the ball. Never fun when you’re the ball.” - Matt Kenseth’s closing statement in his Martinsville post-race interview
The Gordon vs Bowyer feud was like watching when the leader of the chess team fought with the lone male cheerleader in school. It was nothing but entertainment.
I keep on having this historical quote im my mind to describe every story of revenge "You may win the battle but you have lost the war" Every racer would have their own vendetta in the end and would get into a NASCAR feud. Whether its just something minor or a true personal story a vendetta is caused it shows he we as people would see our selves destroying each other over something personal. In the end no one is a true winners except for the ones who show others who's boss with little to no consequence. When In doubt it is what it is but you can always strike back on the person who has caused your fuse to go off but you do it out of your own instinct without a care and enjoy your reward No matter if it makes you lose everything gain something or have nothing to lose we all have are meanings of revenge no matter who we are.
That's why I'm a Kenseth fan. He doesn't act like Tony Stewart and just lets his wheels do the talking. I just wish his luck wasn't so fucking awful...
“No financial repercussions” Actually yes, the team and it’s sponsors pay for the damage to their own, to the hosting body in this case nascar, and sometimes another team will pay some of the damage for the other team too
I wouldn't complain. I'm not really into NASCAR, nor sports in general. But the formatting and the satisfying way he explains what happens makes it enjoyable.
We have seen it so often over the years and I think it will continue when we get E-racing cars and trucks hopfully if tempers redline it will stay on the tracks and not spill into personal lives.
are stuff like this that Racing will continue being a human sport instead of computer sport computers are not made to do mistakes, get emotional and get into trouble like humans do
I love how all the drivers in Britain (or in my area of Britain) just avoid getting wrecked by slamming on the brakes but in the US or particularly NASCAR, the drivers just have fingers crossed as they accelerate even more. I can see their wheels spinning faster and smoke coming out, clearly indicating that they’re just flooring the accelerator even more XD
ive have lived next to the Charlotte motor speedway in North Carolina my entire life and have never gave a damn about nascar and i still dont it is emplemon that i give a damn about and thats why i watch his videos
Him and Slapshoes, yeah. In the Car of Tomorrow age, NASCAR is a narrative sport, like a 170MPH soap opera. Emps and Slap both excel at spinning narrative thread from old footage and statistics.
He got me back into it. Ever since my Dad passed away, I really hadn't wanted to watch it. It's a shame too, because I got back into it right after Matt Kenseth retired...
@A Skelton And you're such a grown up with a drawing of a skeleton as your pfp? What do you gain by calling people out for having pfps you don't personally like? lol get over yourself and contribute to the conversation like Bill Cipher did.
FINALLY someone acknowledges that Bowyer was pushed into the position that caused Gordon to wreck. Everyone always acts like Bowyer just straight up wrecks Gordon even though that was clearly never the case
Jimmy Spencer's feud with Kurt Bush was one of the best things that happened to Spencer's career. It had been so long since he factored into much of anything, but after the first incident between he and Kurt, it became 'must see' racing. That was the beginning of the golden years of NASCAR in my opinion.
This is the second ever video about NASCAR I've watched, I've got no idea how things work but I'm having an amazing time thanks to you! Your video is not just visually pleasing in a way that underlines what you're talking about, the narration and sound engineering was mint quality and, to top it off, it was really well explained and accessible for someone who only has minimal knowledge about motorsport in general. Great work!
Matt X2021-10-05 22:33:48 (edited 2021-10-05 23:03:54 )
@k k I was just joking pal... look I honestly don’t like Joey either sure he’s sound like a good guy but he’s not becoming the next Dale Earnhardt I know that for a fact! But he can be ruthless often times he’s probably 5 times worse than Dale Sr.
Here’s my humble opinion comparison against Joey and Dale Sr. sure they are both ruthless but Dale Sr. was the lookout “ambassador” for the sport as many see him as and how it should be for the future but unlike Joey he does the opposite doesn’t care unless you see him actually care on occasions...
Kenseth is a decent good driver which I respect that’s all I have to say about him...
There are some drivers who talk about what the sports controversies but it depends on who says what... everybody’s a critic...
@k k popular means well known as in many people know who you are famous means well known and liked infamous means well known and dislikes popular is neutral
"The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day, that person may wind up with nothing to lose" I'm 100% stealing that quote...
Some of us just like the satisfaction of the noises and etc. of the cars, some don't, and like it for thrill and more as a sport, but either way, this is awesome to listen.
The problem with picking on the guy who never reacts, is you’re confusing length of his fuse for lack of spine. Just remember kids, people only use really looong fuses for the bombs that really go boom.
In my country, the more sportive guys who would sacrifice comeuppance for the good of the sport, we call them the "Let it go guys" (Turma do Deixa Disso). But when the let it go guys decide to give comeuppance, it's the hardest revenges we see
the RICH kid bully that literally has never worked a day in his life & has been silver spoon fed since birth. Literally. He has no clue has to what life is really. How anyone could ever be a fan of that is beyond me & most people
Matt Kenseth was one of my go-to racers in the Nascar Thunder series simply because the black and yellow were a combination of cool colors. Despite having fallen out of the series, hearing about his revenge is satisfying.
It started with a video about Mt Everest. I stayed because of the epic product plug during his summit on Mt Flordia and now I'm 3 episodes deep into Nascar 😄

"The problem with taking something from someone when you have nothing to gain, is that someday, that person you took it from will have nothing to lose" Damn. That's deep. Imma put that on my gravestone
I’ve always like nascar but it’s hard for it to be interesting enough for me to watch all of the time, I usually watch the big races like Indy, Daytona, Charolette etc. but never the other less important races, hopefully with these new cars I can get more interest out of the sport
I hold a huge respect for Kenseth. Not only was he the most levelheaded driver in Modern NASCAR, but he took out the most big headed driver and cost Logano the championship.
@Alexandre Santos yep. I didn’t think my comment would get clout, let alone negative people wanting to start fights about, as Gaming G said, “Cars Going In Circles.” Some people only live to make others suffer.

I swear I didn’t even really know wtf nascar was until your videos, nevermind giving a shit about it. But your nascar video series is so insanely captivating, I tested up in the Earnhardt one and these other two also just had me glued to the screen. Idk if it’s your talent, or love for the sport (probably both), but watching these is such a fucking joy so please continue doing content you enjoy, at this point I’ll just watch anything man.
Nice video man. You did miss one good rivalry between Carl Edwards and Brad Keslowski though. they literally almost killed each other more than once. I can say I LOVED seeing Kenseth get Logano back! That was awesome! And as a Dale Jr. fan, I'll never root for Kyle Busch even though Dale has no discontent for him now. Thanks again!
EA NASCAR games: DO NOT replicate the actions in the game. Drive safely and responsibly. Do not drive like this in real life Nascar drivers: BUT THIS IS HOW WE DRIVE IN REAL LIFE
Man the ps1 soundclip and the Mario kart 64 clips just brings me back to being 10 years old playing nascar 98' on the n64 Love the nostalgia as much as the video!
I can respect Matt Kenseth for his conduct. Not really a Nascar fan nor do I watch races, but it's surprising and refreshing to see someone so hard to anger and who can keep his cool.
As an open-wheel and sportscar racing fan, which usually have pretty clean racing, I can't get my head around how NASCAR drivers are constantly punting each other at walls, especially considering that they usually drive at an average speed of around 180mph on faster ovals. I know that NASCAR cars are built like tanks, but it should be a fucking crime, so I also respect this man, even though I've only just found out about him. Well, that and the fact that he's a NASCAR Cup Series champion.
Yeah, I'm not a NASCAR fan at all, mostly because all the drivers seem like assholes who'll happily risk your life just for looking at them funny, so it's kind of surprising to see that there are actually people who drive NASCAR that aren't jerks.
@Quick Man you haven’t seen full races then, drivers try to avoid crashes, this video and a lot of other make NASCAR look like a constant demolition race when that’s far from the truth.
@sandenson punting people or “bump and run” drivers are booed for their antics, you see fans really cheering for the cleaner drivers. The champ from 2020 was Chase Elliot, and he is one of the cleanest drivers out there. Every driver respects the kid because of it.
hi i just pre ordered nascar 21 ignition and been watching videos on nascar. im a fan of the sport but love the fans who research the sport and drivers. very good video i subscribed
Woke up early this morning and started surfing youtube and an hour in I stumble on this. And I like it. Don't I ow nothing about nass car but this was entertaining. Builds up pretty good too.
I love that one where Danica Patrick gets mad and then is so bad at driving that she spins herself, and then instead of keeping it off the wall, she has a tantrum and just turns towards to the wall and smashes into it
If beating on it with a hammer doesn’t fix it, get some friends to help you beat on it with hammers. That’s the only thing you can do if you’re out of duct tape.
Seriously though brake checking is severely underused in Nascar they usually go for the trick that wrecks both. When they can knock the other guy out the race and sustain damage to your own car that will have zero effect on its performance.
They SUSPENDED Matt Kensith but not JOEY?! No wonder everybody literally hates the Nasar management. Its like the harder they try the harder they fail to please the public
Yep and he's one good driver, to the point that a guy like Logano, who people say is "superior", felt the need to wreck him so he would have less chances to win the title. That's how scared the kid was from the "boring" Kenseth. But what goes around, comes around. Nice that Kenseth gave him a taste of his poison.
Matt Kenseth was the whole reason I started watching NASCAR in about 2009. Vickers, Gordon and Joey was not some of my favorites to say the least. But when Kenseth, Edwards, JR, Stewart and others retired honestly I feel some of the sport died with it. They was already struggling with the races being just flat out boring but at least they had drivers with personality
Vickers reminds me of this ol’ boy I used to race🏎 in the 80’s on the local 1/4 mile dirt track. He couldn’t race for shit, but hit everyone else trying to get to the front. He was eventually sent into the fence and flipped. When he got out of the car, he calmly walked away and never raced again. I saw him a few times in the stands, watching his son race(he did a helluva lot better than his daddy😂). He died in ‘06 with one big send off. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻the video post and best of 🍀luck ☘️to you and your family
I grew up religiously watching NASCAR, Ren and Stimpy, and The Simpsons with my dad in the 90s. He is now 70 years old and when I've visited him the past few times we bonded over watching your videos on NASCAR and The Simpsons. Thank you.
This genuinely put a tear on my eye. My grandfather was a die-hard NASCAR fan, but he died before I was even old enough to drive. Loved watching with him, even though I never had a clue what was going on.
@Manueltjuhh That's not true. The viewership this year is down from previous years including last year. It's because of all the bad decisions made by NASCAR over the years. People are going to watch Indycar and IMSA because they just can't watch NASCAR anymore.
@Manueltjuhh If you compare just about any race this year to the corresponding race in 2019 the viewership is down a bit. At least in the first 4 or 5 races the last I heard. Not sure if it has gone up since.
Hes such a good writer that he finally, subconsciously at that, finally made me realize the meaning of a dish best served cold.. IT MEANS TAKE YOUR TIME... my dumb asss thought is meant be cruel like a blizzard... it means be patient🤯
NASCAR is a pretty fun sport to watch, I know not everyone can get into it but I was introduced to it at a very young age when tragedy happened at the 2001 Daytona 500
I always thought of nascar as just "cars go in circle fast" but these videos made me appreciate it for the sport and passion of it all even if i wont watch it myself i can respect and understand the appeal it has now
I love the fact that Logano had called what Kenseth did at Martinsville a "Chicken [sxxt] you know what move". No Joey, a chicken move would be to do nothing at all.
Nah you haven't seen bad drivers until you've been to Florida. I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I've actually seen people use their turn signal, not to mention all the people running red lights and not knowing what the right of way is lmao, it's awful.
Another Pennsylvania resident. Yeah, we suck. I took my driver’s test about 9 months ago and finished it within 20 minutes. It was 2 right turns, a parallel park, and I was done. I apologize for my entire state’s incompetence, but at least we’re not New Jersey.
@Declan Thompson no you don't suck. I would take your state any day thank you. At least you aren't new jersey is the understatement of the year, the drivers here are EVIL.
I have driven through many states, and the worst by far are from Oregon and Connecticut. Oregon drivers, at least in Portland, have little regard for stop signs and traffic lights. Connecticut drivers are the worst combination: pushy and slow. They don't just want to be in front of you, they want to drive slower than you.
For the record, I'm a New Yorker. Honestly I've never had any issues with NJ or PA drivers.
@The Slick So I've heard. Last time I was in Oregon was 2018, return leg of my third cross-country trip. Drove all the way to Alaska via Canada. I'd comment on the Alaska drivers, but I didn't see any, since I was only in the state for about 15 minutes, and the town was motionless.
As a pennsylvanian i completely disagree this is just a disgusting bigoted stereotype, unlike people from new Jersey those people can't drive if they're mother's life depended on it
I was thinking NJ, but yeah Pennsylvania. Also Connecticut is just barely a step about. Also, certain parts of Westchester (I'm looking at you Yonkers).
@emiliano zamora I've never see some many drivers not know how to use their turn signals and deciding changing lanes at the last moment is totally reasonable.
You guys have never ended up in Middle of Nowhere, IL with some dipshit in a compensator truck two feet behind you, honking as loud as he can and a drunkard in an SUV going right down the middle of the road.
You can just see him straight up drive Lagano to the wall. "Whatever. If you found me dead then just throw me in the trash!"| Truly a mindset to be feared.
honestly, i dont know what to think about this. on one hand, narrative driven sport can create those storylines, but they also feel forced. just feels weird to me to see the reporters lean into a car after a crash or to see a literal brawl among the competitors. i prefer sports where the actual sport is in focus. any story that emerges from those feels more genuine. but i guess thats a cultural difference.
Matt Kenseth was one of my favorite drivers growing up. Seeing him exact revenge on a driver I didn’t like had me cheering so loudly that my parents told me to be quiet.
That last moment with Kenseth walking away, is not only badass, but that would have been a perfect time to put in the line from the radioactive "Matt just gained a whole bunch of fans" or something to that effect.
As a member of the NASCAR fan community, the storylines and drama of the sport is a huge reason why I watch the races every week. The trucks, Xfinity and Cup series all have drivers you love to love and love to hate. Wins for your guy are so much rarer than seeing your typical sports team win, and the payoff of rooting for a driver for years to see them succeed is unlike any other fan community I've been apart of. Long live motorsports.
Wait, what? I've been watching this vid for 33 minutes thinking no one ever gets penalized in this sport. And then you tell me Kenseth is banned for 2 races because he finally did something? Wow, that guy really is the Meg Griffin of NASCAR I guess.
Dale caused his own demise with pure stupidity..... said the h.a.n.s device was dangerous when he should have just listened to the more intelligent people.
As a British F1 fan I've never really paid attention to NASCAR, spouting the usual "left left left" stuff, but this has singlehandedly made me put the next NASCAR race on my calendar. I will not miss it.
Just realised I feel like Matt Kenneth is like Lewis Hamilton and Joey Logano is Max Verstappen, the clean racer who focuses on his lap times VS the elbows out driver who bullys people off the track... Just hoping after the 2021 season Lewis snaps in the same way and puts Max in his place
A "great" one you missed was the Bodines. Geoff, Brett, and Todd would take each other out for no apparent reason other than sibling rivalry. I understand it got so bad that grandma had to give them a talking to at Christmas dinner.
Having watched basically his entire career Jimmy Spencer was a "never was" as opposed to being a "has been". I never noticed a single fan even recognizing him beyond the response of "Wait... this guy still has a job?" As an aside, Kurt Busch, what a freakin loser at life
As someone who used to watch a lot of nascar watching Matt of all people crush that smug Joey's dreams made me happier than all the times I've ever watched Kyle Busch get his comeuppance
@haomavarga I think it was cause you seemed to imply Hitler’s fight was righteous...? I mean, if you want to think that way... I’m of the opinion that’s completely untrue, seeing all the horrible atrocities he committed; though, of course, the allies themselves have done the same in some ways, they aren’t completely inexcusable. But Hitler’s Germany had done the worst, seeing as they had industrialized killings of innocent Jewish people and stuff.
But this is a NASCAR video, why we talking about history...?
@haomavarga The English language is a mysterious and cruel monster. One minute you're trying to support your favorite creator, the next you accidentally become a neo-nazi.
poor kenneth... always a goodsport, gets crashed 1000 times, never gets mad, he had enough he had to give revenge to at elast one of them, honestly my favorite one form this video was kenneth
And now you know why NASCAR is dying no one wants to see that at the same time watching cars drive in circles is fucking boring

@If your married Your a simp and a cuck Oh please, other sports look just as simple.
F1: Cars going in a maze. NFL: Tackling for a ball. Baseball: Hitting a ball with a stick. Soccer: Kicking a ball. Rally: Cars going through cornfields.
Yet they still are interesting when you fucking look into it which people are too damn lazy to do.
@Ellie Well, I wouldn't really say that Soccer/Futbol/Football is dying. Its still massively popular in the EU. Though, uh... Most of those that like it are violent hooligans that'll literally kill someone if they don't like the right team, so... Take that with a grain of salt.
@Ellie Formula 1 is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Since Liberty Media's takeover in the early 2010s they tried to make it more accessible for new fans by for example running a YouTube channel or introducing the Netflix series "Drive to survive".
I guess that the sport hasn't gained much popularity in America tho
There's not enough people on this platform that just talk about stuff and make it interesting.
I blame stuff like the Creator Academy, telling people there's a formula you need to follow for success. All it does is make channels easier for the algorithm to sort through.
Nice video! I was at Kansas when Joey Spun Kenseth and the crowd went wild for sure

Hats off sir, when i clicked on the vid and then seen the length, i expected to be clicking through as i often find myself doing with the numerous poorly produced and edited vids on youtube... Not today, watched the whole thing, even though i'm not American and have never watched nascar... Very interesting!
What I love so much about Emp is he doesn't pigeonhole himself. Most youtubers are known for that "one thing" they talk about. UrinatingTree and Jon Bois are the sports guys, RLM and YMS are movie reviewers, Anthony Fantano is a music critic, and that's pretty much all they do.
Emp isn't like that though. No topic seems off limits to him. He talks about sports, movies, TV shows, games, the Mandela Effect, some rando who had his finger on the doomsday button, etc. It's what keeps his content fresh and exciting. You don't know what the next video will be about, you just know that this mad genius is making it, and that's enough to get you to tune in.
I clicked on this by accident but stayed for the whole thing because you produced it so well man. Like this is extremely close to being TV quality content. I think all it would really need is to be thrown thru some expensive production/editing program. 9/10 would watch again.
NASCAR has a lot of entertaining moments, it's just too bad that they're surrounded by a whole lot of tedious footage of people driving in circles. Thanks for this condensed version.
When I wad little I used to support Joey. I don't know what he's like, the only thing I know is that I love ford and his ford is winning. After seeing this, Matt is definitely my new favorite
I think my Dad would've really enjoyed this video. He was a huge NASCAR fan. Maybe he saw something in this sport that I could never see, maybe it was this! Thank for the upload!
As a kid who grew up just over an hour away from where Matt Kenseth grew up (Cambridge, WI), he was the main reason I got into watching racing today. And to see a moment of revenge right at the end of his career, it was something so unexpected to me when I saw this live, that I was utterly stunned. Thru out my years of watching him, that was a move I did not see coming at all. His career was full of 2nd places, but this revenge goes down as a 1st
I think this was the best video I have ever seen on YouTube. I'm not even kidding, I have never seen anything more entertaining and yet educational on this site EVER.
Yeah, I had some plans when I came to Youtube today, but this was recommended on the main page so I was like "no, wait, hold on, drop all the plans, I'm going to spend the next 40 minutes on NASCAR drama."
Last segment forgot: Logano's spotter audio of "still there, Still There, STILL THERE...Crunch", as Joey hadn't passed Kenseth's racing line just like Logano hadn't cleared Morgan Shepard taking him out few races earlier. When passing car on given racing line, you gotta clear both or you'll get the "Crunch" every time!! Nazicar suspended Kenseth? But 5 seasons later Logano surprised what he could see with borrowed glasses, so before couldn't see sht! Found out too late!
I'm not really a NASCAR fan but back in 2000 I started watching it. I remember some of the old battles you mentioned. This was a good video that anyone could enjoy. Was that Jeff Gordon at the end? If so he's super old.
@Kiribati No, but "beating the hood and quarter panels back into place with the most inelegant tool possible" is hardly what a normal person would consider "fixed".
@OtakuUnitedStudio You're right. It's what NASCAR drivers and engineers consider "fixed". Most normal people aren't ending up in NASCAR-level wrecks anyways.
@Overly Aggressive Machine Explicitly? None. But the unwritten rule is that you can’t be the biggest douchebag in the world when doing so. Think Carl Edwards dumping Keselowski at Atlanta, Keselowski could have easily died In that crash. Or Kyle Busch wrecking Ron Hornaday and eliminating him from a season-long points battle despite having nothing to gain or having lost anything but the lead. Those are punishable offenses. If it’s anything else? Boys have at it
They used to fine drivers for intentionally wrecking other cars. About 10-15 years ago they had this "have at it" attitude seeing as the cars were much safer than before. Their thoughts were that when someone got wrecked, that driver would retaliate sometime in the coming weeks and it would even the score. This attitude is mostly in effect today with some rare cases of drivers getting a fine.
@imtheprofessor It was the previous season at Talladega, but still, Carl probably knew about the fact that the wings made cars blow over, so maybe he shouldn’t have spun Brad there and then. Had Keselowski landed a few inches to the right, he wouldn’t be here today.
hehehehe my grandparents were pretty into nascar when i was a young lad, and they were clint bowyer fans because he drove the no 7 jack daniels car (they liked to drink jack) and when jeff took him out i remember they had a beanie bag car of jeff gordon’s 24 and i would throw it on the ground and step on it to the cheers of my grandparents 😂😂
Matt Kenseth has my official respect now knowing what he did to Joey and how respectful he is to others. Edit: Thank you all for the likes. I didn't expect this many from you guys.
F1: my car's one of the greatest hits of engineering, a literal masterpiece as finetuned as it's humanly possible and tested in so many environments I know how it will behave before it even is constructed. If it does as much as touching the wall, it needs repairing Nascar: LEEEEROOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY
@username f1 still has a lot of rules and regulations about what you can do and not do, im not arguing that f1 has more rules then nascar, im saying that ur claiming that f1 has little to no rules and that is simply wrong. , also driver skill still is important, yes, it doesnt matter as much as in f1, but it still matters a lot. look at the last f1 race in hungary, alonso held of hamilton for around 14 laps while driving a midfield car.
also pls explain how nascar engineers have to be more creative to extract more perfomance out of their car and how is it different from f1 engineers innovating and finding new ways to improve aero and finding gray areas in the rulebooks.

Who Cares2021-08-05 03:51:16 (edited 2021-08-05 03:51:36 )
if you understand both then you should understand that throwing money at it until its fast doesnt work that well in f1, ferrari has had the highest budget since like forever and they have only produced 2 cars worthy of a half championship fight since 2014
@username then why are you trying to argue :p if you cant bother to explain then you shouldnt be here in the first place, its like saying that one thing is superior to the other while providing 0 actual arguments as to why
@username "F1 teams are allowed to do pretty much what ever they want with only few rules to follow" that is simply wrong, every f1 part has a full page of rules as well, although its not as limiting and it does allow innovation. and considering taht they are innovating, f1 rules have to keep up., unlike nascar, which specifies what you can use, f1 limits what you cant use.
@username You are still wrong. Nascar engineers do not have to be smarter, they have to be better at rule mitigation. They do not create the best of the best possible, they do not fight nature, they fight man made rules. And thats why they behave a lot more like lawyers rather than true engineers. Loopholes can be fixed, patched, and abused, but natures forces cannot. They are constantly working against everything no matter what you do.
@username Your description by nature implies that F1 engineers are smarter than NASCAR engineers. If every part is so intricately defined in the NASCAR rulebook, then the NASCAR engineers have less work and require less wit (in terms of construction). In race strategy, both require wit. It's not like F1 race strategists/performance engineers don't need to do anything once the car is constructed.
@username 😂😂😂 Traction control was banned in 2008, active suspension banned in 1993, ABS banned in 1994. There are no electronic aids except for paddle shifting. The driving is fully raw.
I was with you until you started talking about "triggering the fanboys". Kind of cringe if you ask me. Go touch some grass.
@I_trigger_liberalsoh wow a letter's off what a catastrophe.
Anyways, you literally don't understand what is engineering. NASCAR is a spec series. All the engineering is done for the teams, teams hire technicians to put things together and skirt around the rules. That's not engineering. Engineering is the development of bespoke parts. It's development.
@Miguel Laurito yeah, but Nascar is a spec series and F1 is not. Both sides were trying to gain an aerodynamic advantage that wouldn't be detected by racing officials. Both sides had to show ingenuity and elite engineering skills to achieve what they were trying to.
@I_trigger_liberals bro, nascar throws money at their rules too. Per cylinder carb balancing is extremely expensive and provides very little horsepower increase, but every team was doing it.
@aaebs ss b what, exactly, about a rule set designed to take the budget of race teams out of the equation in the sake of fairness, is dumb? NASCAR has never been about pushing bleeding edge tech, all the cars are nearly identical with the only advantage you can gain as a race team how you set up the car and the strategy you use over the course of a race. NASCAR rule set is designed to make the racing be less about the cars themselves and more about the drivers and overall strategy, and although it can be quite boring to watch for some, it's far more competitive a sport than most people are willing to admit
I just came to say that, during an F1 race, you can literally see the drivers crying and apologizing to the engineers behind the cars after a crash, because they know and deeply respect what they did. UwU
I just noticed the GT4 Licence theme playing in the background of your video... unbelieveable! That's my favourite game of all time! I've never seen a YouTuber do that! Great work bro
A "where are they now?" for the drivers involved: Tony Stewart: Tony would go on to race until 2016 when he would retire. He races local dirt races and began his own racing series, the SRX, which was a relative success this past summer. He is the co-owner of championship-winning team Stewart-Haas Racing, which won the 4th race of the season at Phoenix. In 2022 he was a guest analyst for NASCAR on Fox the LA Clash and Daytona 500. In 2014 Tony Stewart was competing in a dirt race in upstate New York. Stewart bumped into a driver named Kevin Ward Jr., causing him to wreck and the caution to come out. Ward, displeased, exited his car and went into the way of traffic to show his displeasure with Stewart. Ward was hit and died. (I would recommend you read into this if you're interested, as the situation is very complex and I want to keep this at least somewhat brief.) Brian Vickers: Vickers would retire from full-time competition in 2012 due to blood clotting issues. He would go part-time for a few years, scoring a win at New Hampshire in 2013. He would marry a woman named Sarah Kellen. Kellen, under the alias Sarah Kensington, was one of Jeffery Epstein's "recruiters" who was heavily involved in trafficking and "coaching" young minors. She is under investigation by the FBI. Robby Gordon: Robby would leave NASCAR in the early 2010s, creating his own racing series, Stadium Supertrucks Michael Waltrip: Michael Waltrip's team would shut down in 2015 due to his team controversially spinning out to affect the "Chase." He currently works as an analyst for NASCAR on Fox and is a commentator for FS1's coverage of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Kurt Busch: Kurt Busch would win the 2004 Nextel Cup Series championship. He would jump teams every few years due to controversies, until getting to Stewart-Haas racing. He would win the Daytona 500 in 2017 and go to Chip Ganassi Racing in 2019. In 2021 his postseason started abysmally and was eliminated in the first round. He finished 11th in the standings for the final season of Chip Ganassi Racing's NASCAR team. In 2021 he was signed to drive for Michael Jordan's team, 23XI alongside Bubba Wallace for 2022. In the 2022 Daytona 500 Kurt found himself consistently around the trouble, but usually able to evade it unscathed. After race 13 he sits 18th in points after a bumpy season where much like his team owner, he cannot quite catch a break. Despite this he won the 13th round at Kansas to lock himself into the playoffs. Jimmy Spencer: Spencer would leave the Speed Channel in 2013 and disappear from public life until July of 2021 where he appeared on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s podcast, The Dale Jr. Download. Kyle Busch: Kyle Busch is currently a 2-time NASCAR champion, winning the 2015 and 2019 championships. He has taken the record for most wins in all 3 NASCAR series having a combined 215 wins in all 3 series. In 2021 he ran a solid season despite his 2020 slump, finishing 9th in points and nearly advancing to the final round after a chaotic cutoff race at Martinsville. In the 2022 Daytona 500 he scored a 6th place finish after recovering from a hard crash early. After race 13 he sits 3rd after having a turbulent but solid start to the season and a chaotic win at the Bristol Dirt Race. Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Dale Jr. would retire in 2017 due to concussions. In 2018 he became an NBC commentator. He is a car owner in the lower NASCAR series, owning Jr. Motorsports. He also runs a podcast, the Dale Jr. Download. Denny Hamlin: Denny Hamlin created his own team alongside Michael Jordan, 23XI in 2021 with driver Bubba Wallace. In 2021 he only had 2 wins but was radically consistent throughout the whole season leading the points for 24 weeks straight. He finished 3rd in the standings. In 2022 he failed to finish the Daytona 500 after being caught in a wreck. Hamlin sits an abysmal 21st in points following an awful start to the season. Despite this, he won the 6th round at Richmond after a late pit call. This has been the only bright spot of an otherwise abysmal year where he can't seem to catch a break. Chase Elliott: Chase Elliott would go on to win the 2020 Cup Series championship. He had 2 wins and finished 4th in the 2021 standings. He has become a driver with a reputation for his skill in road courses. In the Daytona 500, Elliott stayed quiet but finished a solid 10th following a chaotic finish. After the 13th race of the season, he sits as the leader in points after a solid start to the season and one win. Jeff Gordon: Jeff Gordon would retire after the 2015 season. He became a NASCAR on Fox commentator. This year he announced he would leave Fox to take an administrative role at Hendrick Motorsports, his old team. Clint Bowyer: Bowyer retired after the 2020 season and became a NASCAR on Fox commentator alongside none other than Jeff Gordon. Matt Kenseth: Kenseth retired in 2017 from Joe Gibbs Racing. The next year he would return as a fill-in driver for Roush Racing, his original team. In 2020 after the controversy caused driver Kyle Larson to be suspended for the season Kenseth would fill in for the rest of the season. He has stated that will be his final ride, but some do not believe that. He races local late model races in Wisconsin. In 2022 Matt was a guest analyst at Auto Club Speedway's race, and phoned up Joey Logano from the booth during the race, acknowledging the old animosity. Joey Logano: Joey Logano went on to win the 2018 Cup Series Championship in a massive upset over Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and Kevin Harvick. In 2021 he has won only one race in a fluke at the Bristol Dirt Race, having many rough wrecks including his car flipping over at Talladega. He made a deep postseason run despite this and finished 8th in the standings. In 2022 he won the Busch Light Clash at the LA Coliseum but failed to finish the Daytona 500 following a wreck. After Darlington he broke a 40 race winless streak by slamming William Byron into the wall with 2 to go, outraging fans yet again. EDIT: Updated post-2021 season. Updating every few weeks as the 2022 season continues.
@Charlee Sturdy the reason I omitted the incident with Kevin Ward was because it's a complicated situation and it wasn't pertinent to his racing career.
@FZ what revenge did Dale need? Only person Dale ever needed payback on was Jeremy Mayfield, and Methhead Mayfield had his comeuppance to say the least.
The Brian Vickers one is incorrect. He went part-time for MWR in 2012 and 2013, winning New Hampshire in 2013 and getting a full time ride until 2015 when his blood clots came back. He subbed for Tony Stewart (ironically) in 2016 for a few races then retired for good. Then got caught up in controversy with his wife which I won't get into.
@Charlee Sturdy wow...thanks for you mentioning this. I googled* + HOLY CROW just the headlines on the 1st page results is a Shakespearean tragedy with aftermath that apparently has unfolded over years & still rolls on. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Eek! Or/& I need someone like EL to put ittogether into coherent narrative. EL's got a good balance of sensitivity (appropriately) towards difficult subjects & acerbic wit + a honed sense of absurdity, along with solid research & video storytelling skills i.e. the kind of Creator I trust with that kind of story.
Anyways, genuinely --- thanks again for mentioning this so I could check it out.
@Sonny NASCAR-noob here (see reply to Charlee) & I googled it bc all new to me. The amount of results on the first page was almost overwhelming. I can picture contemplating boiling that down to a sentence & choosing the understandable, wise course of just letting it be, since it's a tragic sprawling story of mostly lawsuits. In context of your update tone, anything brief'd come off jarring or flippant, but all necessary caveats would turn it into an essay.
So, I get it.
& I appreciate you doing your thing; & I appreciate Charlee too for dropping the knowledge for me to check it out. Peace, y'all!
@Pica hudsonia unflocked Hi, race fan of all sorts for about 20 years and NASCAR fan since 2006. The Tony Stewart/Kevin Ward situation is a controversial and toxic as hell inside the racing community. You've got some fans that have taken Tony Stewart's side and believe that what occurred was mostly a tragic accident. It is worth noting that following the Kevin Ward incident Stewart would go winless for years, before finally scoring one last victory in his final season in 2016. Others, most notably, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (Think of it sort of like the NASCAR equivalent to AA Baseball. Career Semi-Professionals and young kids race in this series.) Driver Stewart Friesen has been a very vocal critic of Tony Stewart not just of the incident but as a person in general. What's worth noting here is that Friesen is married to Tony Stewart's ex-girlfriend. So the drama of this incident is still very much talked about a lot in racing circles today.
i love how people get so pissed about hamlin vs chase, bro he wanted to move chase up the track but not wreck him, if u dont see that, then its time to actually watch nascar races
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record videos for YouTube with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear rorm
Very entertaining but as a european I have one question : how is all this even permitted lol ? Well I guess that's part of what makes nascar entertaining
The only problem I had with the video is how he describes Logano. Everything up to it is very neutral just setting up the situation and showing the outcome. But Logano/Kenseth one sounded like him describing why he has a hate boner for Joey and how satisfied he was to see him taken out. The description of the situation at Kansas isn't really accurate and most of the commentary over this part is really unfair and bias
My great grandmother and Dale Earnheart were cousins and rode in the back of the moonshine trucks together to help keep the jars from breaking. They grew up together but that is the only memorable story i have from my great grandmother Fey Earnheart. The late Fay Welch...
It always feels like an event whenever EmpLemon uploads a new video. They’re not just videos you watch out of boredom, they’re something to look forward to. Keep at it, man.
as someone who knows nothing about nascar its alot like expected... MX rules with the safety of a car so people slam into each other alot more and as such theres alot more revenge. kinda cool to watch
2:09 this is the part I don't get and why I don't watch Nascar. It's all left turns. If they had more tracks that weren't so boring I'd watch it every so often.
Excellent video. Though I think your characterization of Joey Logano while accurate, lacks context. Joey Logano was pushed around and poked in the ribs constantly (notably by Ryan Newman and Kevin Harvick) until he snapped and started punching back twice as hard. He didn't start dumping people until he had had enough. Old timers set the rules, he just started playing by them better than they did.
Can you think of anything else where two guys end up out of contention... so one player wants to keep playing, and hops on another team for a few games?! 😂
I haven’t followed nascar in YEARS. But I started playing NASCAR 05 again, and this documentary...both are reminding me how great it is... it’s all about EVERYTHING ELSE but the cars going left...
@Sir Memesalot Yeah if you dumb it down that much then football, basketball, and soccer are just playing with a ball for a couple hours. See, there’s more to it than that isn’t it
Bowyer and Gordon still upsets me to this day. If I was Clint I would never forgive him for that. That was a career defining moment for Clint Bowyer. Jeff had already won four titles and a shit pile of wins at that point in his career, and winning a title would've drastically changed Clint's life. It still just rubs me the wrong way that someone like Gordon would do that to someone like Bowyer.
34:18 Goosebumps right down to my toes I grew up with Nascar in the house. My dad was a huge fan and roped me and my brother into it from an early age. We all had our favorite drivers and my dad was happy to gift us with hats, TV shirts and toys. I never really understood everything that was going on but my dad let me know who the heroes and villains were on the track. Once I was old enough to realize I didn't actually have much interest in Nascar I stopped watching it. But your videos on it have been incredibly nostalgic and even emotional for me. They bring me back to my childhood. Watching my dad jump up and down screaming at the TV, the big Daytona 500 days (my dad would throw a big party together, only day of the year he did this) and playing Nascar Thunder for the GameCube with my brother.
I know you probably wont read this comment but thank you for making these. Every single video you make is a homerun but these hit different for me. I'll never forget the day my dad told me he had given up on Nascar. Even though I hadn't watched in years and didn't have much interest anymore, it filled me with a deep sadness. I realized that chapter of my life was over. These videos reminded me of all this and I started talking about Nascar to my dad again. In a way, your Nascar videos helped strengthen my relationship with him again. So thank you. Keep up the good work man.
How prophetic. “A new generation of Young Guns” in a changing sport. Hmmm that sounds familiar. Also Hamlin wrecking someone at Martinsville is perfectly fine. But he can’t take the shoe on the other foot.
Matt Kenseth had the skill and mental fortitude for NASCAR. Ironically, he was just too mature, and he didn’t get mad as easily as others. He had promising prospects but it’s a shame.
I still remember that 2007 race in Canada, Robby Gordon spun out the leader when he was black flagged then started doing burnouts after like he had won the race😂
27:40. Boring. yeah. but also a lot of respect for having that level of control over themselves. a ton of people would have had quite a reaction, better for the TV. But being calm and collected is incredible in its own right.
the "funny" bit at the end that served as a commercial was a funny as watching a snail dry under the sun... BUT, I actually didn't see the 35 minutes of rivalry disappear from my clock... so, all in all, awesome job !! :)

"Rule Number 1 of Stock Car Racing is learn how to wreck someone, without wrecking yourself." - Landon Cassill, 2012
@Mr Beegle I'm black and from Brooklyn, I did like Nascar as a kid but only because I was waiting to see them crash, it was definitely a lot more popular back then though with stuff like Cars, Talladega Nights, and the EA Sports games.
He’s literally a young guy like any one of us, who finds his own opinions so interesting he needs to write extremely long essays about them, explaining them in a documentary style fashion as if they were fact. It’s actually so pretentious
At 5:16 they made a call, cause of death, drove into wall. They Intimidator collided with Ken Strader, then he died, 2 seconds later. Jr. was screaming and saddening, not me nope, I was the only one laughing. I stood in the crowd with a smile on my face, I was certain a NASCAR fan would me spray me with mace. But instead, they sat there with grief, only to wish they had more than eight teeth. I didn’t want to write this poem cause I knew it was mean, but then I thought, well Earnhardt, you should’ve raced clean.
I mean Kenseth blocked a guy going 15-20 MPH faster than him. Joey held his line and Kenseth blocking spun on his bumper. Just because Loganos locked in doesn’t mean he can’t go race for wins
You'll probably never see this, but my father died when I was a about three years old. Never got any memories of him, but people talked about how big of a NSCAR fan he was. I've never been much of a fan myself, but when I watch your videos talk about it, it's like I'm getting a glimpse into my father's passion. So thanks for that.
As an non american, nascar seems to me a part of the american experience, especially of the 2000s... Live and Rock. I offer one minute of solitude from my part to your Father.
I feel like that's always hard, understanding dads, or anybody that came before us. It's hard to imagine the life they lived. Thanks for making me think of mine.
Same here man my dad died when I was 7 and Dale his favorite driver passed shortly after I still have his Nascar hats and jackets as a way to remember him even though I'm not personally a fan. God bless man
You should look into NASCAR YouTubers. S1apshoes, DannyBTalks, BFM, they might peak your interest. But at the very least, they are great YouTubers who are passionate about their sport.
The way that Matt says that "To me strategically that doesn't seem like such a great decision for him..." is some foreshadowing alright. At least in my opinion it is.
Never understood NASCAR, never bothered to even try watching it, never thought it would be on my radar, but now I’m interested and it’s purely down to the way you present the sport.
@Jeff K lmao alr bud. Joey has horrible sportsmanship with everyone. He crashes someone then blames that person for the crash. Doesn't take any accountability.
I’m a real race fan and that was a moment that was long overdue. I was immediately on my feet. It was a great, low speed lesson. Just too bad Logano didn’t really learn much from that moment.
Interesting story why the 10 stayed out at Martinsville despite having a problem is the driver ahead of him wrecked but was still laps ahead of him and if David finished 1 more spot ahead and would've jumped into the Top 35 in owners points giving him a qualifying provisional because back then the Top 35 in owners points were locked into the race and didn't have to get in on qualifying times
I’m pretty sure Earnhardt Sr. Didn’t give a damn about looking cool during a race. His thing was if you were holding him up and his car was faster, you’d get a chance to move, and then he’d relocate your car. Ask Terry Labonte.
Nah Robby Gordon's most memorable moment is when he wouldn't leave the track after being black flagged at Watkins Glen. They restarted the race with him still out there and I can't remember who it was but he took them out.
“The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may have nothing to lose” is such a raw fucking line and it aggravates me that it comes from a fucking YouTube nascar documentary
you do realize over 15% of nascars races in a season are on road course tracks. mor of last 5 years

I’d like to see a part 2 of this revenge series... Who else agrees? I’d like to see Ricky Rudd and Kevin Harvicks feud from Richmond in 2003! An epic fight between Young vs. Old...
Here’s one by Kevin Harvick in the 2002 Xfinity Bristol spring race Kevin got dumped by Greg Biffle the truck series veteran
Another classic rivalry is the 1989 All Star race at Charlotte and I’d call it “The Million Dollar Rusty” where Rusty Wallace dumped Darrell Waltrip to win the All Star Race with a cash prize of 200,000 at the time... and oh boy it wasn’t pretty Darrell and his team were mad and Rusty Wallace’s tire carrier Todd Parrott made a shove like to one of Darrells crew members and just as the split second after that all H-E- Double Hockey sticks broke loose tempers started to flare! There’s so many great rivalries in NASCAR and the list goes on and on...
Gotta say it, the people that said "Kenseth winning the championship in 03 is what made nascar overhaul the system for 04 and up so his performance can't happen again" your theory didn't age well. Shit literally happened this year in the xfinity series
Oh another revenge that happened this year. A karting world champion was on his way to win but got pushed of the track into the wall. In response, on the next lap he tried to throw his front wing into his rival who pushed him off the track and missed. He then attacked his rival with his dad then joining in. For this, the FIA gave him a 15 year ban from karting.
Kurt did HIS part in that feud too. He leaned on Jimmy's front fenders down the stretch and hurt the aero and then parked blocking Jimmy's pit. Jimmy showed his displeasure. Kurt learned a lesson to stop short of that line. Ask for it and Jimmy will deliver.
If you listen to Dale Jr’s podcast when Jimmy Spencer was on he says that Busch threatened his family when he walked over to his car after the race. At that point it was inevitable that someone was gonna get punched. Not saying that Spencer should’ve punched him but there was a lot more going on between the pair behind the scenes.
I always forget Robby Gordon was a Cup driver. I always think of him driving the Valvoline champcar (Indycar Racing II cover athlete!!!) and the Rousch Mustangs in TransAm/IMSA GTO.
i know nothing about racing, but this editing is perfect

I actually don’t like Chase Elliot. He carries himself like he’s above the noise and chaos. Like he’s this squeaky clean and innocent driver. He coasts on his fathers reputation in that regard.
In reality he’s petty and vindictive. He holds grudges and seeks to repay them in kind. His fans are blind to this fact and refuse to accept any argument that he’s just like the drivers he butts heads with. He’s quite similar to Logano although nowhere near that level. No one is
At 5:16 they made a call, cause of death, drove into wall. They Intimidator collided with Ken Strader, then he died, 2 seconds later.

This is what I love about this channel. EmpLemon can take any subject matter, something I have absolutely no remote interest in, and make me interested in it. I know nothing about Nascar other than it was cars driving around in a circle, but Emp knows how to highlight exactly why so many people love it, and it almost makes me want to start watching it unironically.
I would recommend getting into it! I wasn’t a big fan until 2017 (casual before then), but now I regularly watch races. There’s a lot to learn, but F1Fan0001 has a great video on it if you feel comfortable with basic auto racing terms. If you can find a driver to root for the weekends become all the more entertaining.
I will say the fan base complains about literally everything, and that’s an understatement. Just try to block that out and you’ll be alright.
I’d recommend you should give it a shot if you haven’t already, yes NASCAR may have a lot of gimmicks and the racing at some tracks could be Eh, but once you’re hooked, you’re hooked. Also, try to ignore some of the haters while you can, they just waste your brain cells.
The BEST finish in NASCAR was the 1995 night race at Bristol. Terry Labonte vs Dale Earnhart. The LAST TURN of the LAST LAP Dale puts Terry into a spin BUT Terry Labonte wins the race crossing the finish line SIDEWAYS. Wild Finish.
These NASCAR videos are such a trip. When I was a kid I would go to my grandparents ranch for a few weeks over the summer. It was in inland empire California, 30 minutes from a gas station type place. My grandpa was retired and worked on cars all day (former baja driver). The TV in the house, the barn, and the shop would always be on the race. If there was no race, he had a good 30 years worth of races taped on VHS. with the temperature WELL into triple digits everyday, I became very familiar with the sport and learned there's more to racing than "just turning left" These videos evoke a weird nostalgia because I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I will always be up to watch one.
Sure let's take racing, an activity with an inherently high risk of serious injury or death, and add some good ole American hilly billy road rage. What's the worst that could happen?
Sorry for the paraphrase but the, "taking with nothing to gain from someone who might have nothing to lose one day" was a fucking epic line. Brilliant content

Man so many sound effects. Some from Melee, some from Spy Fox and other Humongous Games, and stock sound effects. All I can say is, the video was entertaining, informative, and fun with your smooth transitions.
Robby should have been fined for going infront of the cars on track because he was mad. I'm glad he was okay but that boy arguing with Tony Stewart didn't get so lucky
By "pulls to the head of the field" you mean wrecked Brad Keselowski. He opened himself up by doing that so I hated CE came out the hero in that deal..
A thing about the Kyle-Dale Jr. situation: Dale said that he wasn't Kyle's fault the incident. Years later on Dirty Mo Radio Earnhardt would later address the incident and state that Busch did not intentionally cause the wreck. He would say that "Even in the moment, I knew that it wasn't [Busch] turning me on purpose." Earnhardt had said that Busch had simply had wanted to get a better run off of the corner, but had gotten loose and spun him.
So Matt Kenseth is like the Kimi Raikkonen of Nascar. He's quiet, avoids drama, races clean and has a championship title to his name. The only difference is that we find Kimi interesting?
2:00 Driver: What do you mean by…turn right? Spotter: There’s a right turn coming up, you need to turn right. Driver: You mean do a really fast 270 degree left turn to make my car face to the right side? Spotter: …Jeebus.
Anyone else coming here after Martinsville 2021 and hoping that the next race is pure chaos (like the examples in this video) because of the shitshow that was that race?
@Bart - codm No, he didn't, genius. He said he was at a previous race where Joey wrecked Matt. He didn't say he was at the race where Matt got his revenge on Joey.
Nice use of the Starfox music at the 8:48 mark. I don't know where that exact track comes from, but it is clearly the same tune as the space battle above Venom in the old SNES version. Edit 4 minutes later I suddenly notice that I'm listening to Highway Star. Good background music in this video.
Before watching EmpLemon I never knew there was much more to NASCAR than a bunch of sweaty dudes in firefighter suits turning left for 5 hours straight.
I don't know that Matt Kenseth's accomplishments should be understated. That is, one championship and two Daytona 500 wins is better than most by a long shot. There were lots of high-profile drivers who have not done as much as Matt did. Kensett was always one of my favorites, mainly because of how he raced. Logano has always been at the very bottom of my list, for the same reason.
Out of all those ones in the video, the only one I really feel bad for is Kenneth. I mean I feel he really had a chance to make something of that season, even more than he already was. But yeah, that was one of the only purposeful wrecks that I was totally cool with happening lol. Plus I never been a Logano fan lol. And not in the same way that I disliked Kyle Busch so much for the longest time to then later have him be one of my favorite racers to watch today somehow tbh lol. Which is weird cause he’s one of the more aggressive drivers or “dirty” ones I should say lol, and growing and until he retired I was always a Mark Martin fan, who I’ve always felt was the exact opposite of Kyle lol.
Tony Stewart was the biggest baby in nascar him and Earnhardt sr. We’re the same the could dish it out but god forbid you touch either of them! I would always laugh and shake my head at both of them while thinking how many drivers have they spun the whole time crying about everyone else’s driving ability!
He actually announces races now with Jeff Gordon! They buried the hatchet of the feud around the time they both retired, and now are a pretty good broadcasting team
I thought that on Forza Motorsport the people who pushed were children frustrated by not knowing how to drive well but ultimately it's just Nascar drivers
Welcome for the ride, Emp is one of my favorite youtubers that I discover in the past few years and I can guarantee that you will not regret spent your time watching his videos. If you want recomendantions the Never Ever on the Cold War(ep 4) and the Never Ever on Hungry Box(ep 5) are the best when boild down to writing and editing and my personal favorites are the series on Copyright on Youtube and the Frying Comments when Emp talks about his history on youtube.
Matt McConaha2021-04-18 14:20:40 (edited 2021-04-18 14:24:20 )
@Gurjant Gill Try checking out Solar Sands, he does similar videos focused on niche art stuff. Or Nick Robinson, who does video game stuff primarily regarding Nintendo. Do a google search for "video essay youtubers", because that's the genre we're talking about. Or just start watching more Emp Lemon and other recs you get already gotten, youtube will show you who else you should check out.
From Coc n Rolla underscoring Vickers' Rampage to the soothing classical as it's explained that pretty much everyone sees Logano as a jackass, as well as the PlayStation startup for Kenseth becoming the hero.
As far as I’m concerned there is no place for that kind of driving. Should be automatic black flag. Guess it’s just a sign of the times. Years ago it was six shooters, now it’s road rage.
There are commercials during races? What shitty idea is this?
I'm so used to Formula 1. It was nice to see the Nascar drivers actually going through a decent track although that's probably not what fans want to see. It really shows the difference in both sports and what each driver needs to focus on. You have really slow speed and acceleration on Nascar but you better watch out for other drivers trying to get you dirty 😉
“They got a championship they could win this year and he doesn’t” - Kyle Busch, Kansas, 2007.
Looking back 15 years later was this statement the reason why Dale Jr curse for being winless was for 5 straight seasons? (Technically 4 as he did win in Michigan of 2008 and never went to victory lane til 2012) And why he hasn’t won a title also indirectly due to have concussions? As Jimmie Johnson won that title when Jr joined his 8 wins were the only races he won for HMS. Can we say that Kyle Busch’s statements were not far from the truth?
Joey logano is the manny machado of nascar. They are good if not great on paper but as a person it’s hard to find anything desirable outside of their stats on the track or in the field
NASCAR is so deeply american, I feel guns growing out of my ears and my healthcare dwindling watching this. Plus, of course: I don't understand it. I guess you need the concept of an enemy over there. But I find soccer extremely primitive & boring too. Oh I like sports, every Strongman related stuff, competed in powerlifting etc myself when I was younger (and my knees were more.... functioning), but I don't get this dogs-chasing-something-thing, I guess. Oh, and boxing, of course, the sweet science.
Dad always watched nascar when I was a kid and would tell me “you wouldn’t get it, kid.” And I never did until now. Thanks for teaching me so much about this beautiful sport
Emp, you've matured from a genuinely talented artist and video editor, into someone who may be one of the best documentarians on the platform. I look forward to more topics that you're interested in.
I've never understood why Matt Kenseth's 2003 championship win is so disliked. Until NASCAR (Brian France in particular) kept interfering with the points and championship format, in common with most forms of Motorsport, it matters how the teams and drivers perform over the aggregate of the season, rather than the amount of wins they accumulated over the year. Over the course of 2003, he was more consistent than anyone else, was rewarded with a championship (the last driver to win the Winston Cup) & gave Jack Roush a first championship as well
I just sat here for almost 40 minutes watching a video about a sport i have no interest in and for the life of me idfk why i kept watching, but overall not bad 8/10 vid
Hey Emp, great video! As a NASCAR fan, I’m loving these uploads! It’s fun to relive some of these iconic moments, while also learning about a few I’ve never heard of, and each of these moments were very well documented in this video! Keep these great uploads coming!
revenge is a dish best served cold, but in nascar, revenge is a car best served in the wall to a well hated driver and most of the fans backing you for such a act.
Emp definitely got me into NASCAR in similar fashion to how I get people into wrestling. Until you really start to understand it and learn to appreciate it. You'll almost always dismiss it.
What Kenseth did to Logano in 2015 was attempted murder and should have gotten him banned for NASCAR from life. Plowing another driver flatout into the wall is absolutely not acceptable.
this video is soley responsible for me getting into racing and an understanding of what goes into all of it. i ended up being a huge fan of F1. bought a wheel and found the zen of driving. taking a little hiatus now but wanted to show appreciation, this was definitely the start of a rabbit hole night on youtube
"The problem of taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that person may wind up with nothing to lose" Damn, that's actually great writing. Love this video, thanks.
Joey Logano is from my state, my brother raced him as kids in quarter midgets, and his dad tried to cheat by letting air out of my brothers tire in the pits. He was a shit driver in quarter midgets, I always wondered how he got the nascar. (Rich dad) Dead serious true story.
As an f1 fan the bit on the last guy matt winning and everyone shitting on him boggles my mind, points are points and the fact that didnt have many race wins shouldn't take away from that
Another fantastic NASCAR video - and with Sears Point front-and-center in the discussion! It's good to see you emphasize the personalities of all these drivers, both past and present. That isn't done nearly enough these days.
The problem is Joey does the same thing to others all the time and they manage to not spin him out. Could Joey have prevented this, absolutely. But he choose not too. Did he do it intentionally? I mean he didn't come out and say that, but based off his comments he come just short of saying it. Saying "He ran me hard and I ran him hard back. That’s the type of driver I am and the type of racer I’m gonna be, and it just comes to that point sometimes (and) unfortunately those things happen.” Problem is Joey had no reason to race him that way. Yes he was going for the win, but he didn't need the win. He had 5 laps to work his way around Matt. You don't just straight dump a guy because you can't get around him.
I kind of respect Hamlin dumping Elliot and sticking it the the NASCAR royalty, although Elliot is a good driver, NASCAR does have a huge nepotism issue where the children of famous drivers are guaranteed spots on the track because of their parents. So I respect Hamlin sticking it the royalty.
Kevin Ramsey2021-04-14 00:35:55 (edited 2021-04-14 00:36:59 )
I'm not going to argue that his name doesn't afford him certain advantages but even if his last name wasn't Elliot, Chase is one of the best drivers out there week in and week out. Dude races like it's the 80s.
I miss watching Nascar with my pops when I was growing up. He would fall asleep watching it, and when I'd reach for the remote on his lap he'd wake up and say 'hey, I'm watching that".
You completely misunderstand Logano's motives.. When you have an opponent barreling through everyone, and an opportunity to eliminate them before they are a threat to you - you do it. It's absolutely disgusting, but from a 'only winning matters' view, that's how you do it. This strategy is a no brainer.
Nascar, one memory I have involves it. I came home one night shit-faced-drunk after working in a bar and having one too many with co-workers. My flatmate is sitting on the couch watching television and I ask him: whats-up? He says to me: just sit down Im watching NASCAR, if you havent seen this ever, its the most retarded racing sport around. So Im like, allright I'll grab another cold one and have a gander. I dont remember exactly what round they where in, but it was in the last 10 rounds for sure. So my flatmate goes, just watch, theyve been driving like this for the past whatever rounds (they where driving in a massive pack of cars) and at the end theyre gonna crash and anyone below Rank 34 is gonna probably finish first. So we ridicule the "sport" a bit more and lo-and-behold, in one of the last rounds a massive crash happens at the front and I believe the number 41,42 or 43 came up ahead. Had a nice laugh.
That last story felt so satisfying, I may not be into Nascar, my dad is and he is a Denny Hamlin fan, because that is my family's last name as well. But even the times I watched with him I saw just how bad Joey Lagno was, so hearing that the guy who rarely gets angry gets revenge on someone that like is so good.
I just want to take a moment to say can we plz get Dover and New Hampshire out of nascar. They are nothing that bores me more than a Sunday in Dover Delaware
“But the difference between Logano and someone like Dale Earnhardt is that Joey doesn’t own it in a cool way. He still likes to carry himself as the innocent little baby face who’s never done anything wrong.” -EmpLemon, 2021
I know it doesn't mean anything, in the grand scheme of things, but it grates on my brain when someone says, "sit there and", before describing something that someone else is doing. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.
i'm a car nut -- current F1 fan, but grew up watching a lot of DTM and some rally. Never got into NASCAR because they weren't anything like the stock cars they were painted to resemble. I appreciate the close racing, I find the rivalries entertaining -- but something about the actual vehicles just keeps me from watching. Any chance they move towards homologating road cars?
I think the same way really, it's always looked to me like the cars are dressed up to look like something they are not. Doesn't help that they are designed to look like American cars so I don't think the rest of the world has any kind of connection to them.
Jimmy Spencer never forgets I'd love that he's from upstate Pennsylvania I'm thinking near Berwick PA they consider that mountain lions just like Jimmy Spencer LOL he was fun to watch
Never did i think I'd care about things like NASCAR, WWE, or the Simpsons. But goddamn does Emp know how to tell the stories behind why such writeoffable things captivate so many.
That's kind of the point, Kenseth had nothing left to lose having lost it by the bumper of Joey's car. So it's only Karmic that Joey loses the championship off the bumper of Kenseth's car.
31:50 - 32:26 nobody else may have noticed that the music in this part of the video was the Seinfeld theme slowed down with heavy reverb... But I did emp... I did...
Just turn the other cheek people, it's not worth it. The emperor is right as always. Stop fighting back on the road. Speaking more broadly, he is always, Always standing strong with the honest-to-goodness truth about everything, always presenting his opinion as such, but he is so wholesome that his opinion always hits as the TRUTH. with the die-hard golden inarguable facts of Life That emplemon always lays down, so effortlessly just by voicing his opinion, I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt, that I will always love emperorlemon's videos. Why don't we all shut up and listen to emperorlemon. Make peace, not war you stupid fuckers. Emplemon is love, he is life
I don't know what it was about Kenseth, his name, the color of his car, or the number on his car, I always liked him. Never watched NASCAR but I liked Kenseth for some reason. I think it's because he was born in Wisconsin.
Better not be a beige car, I don't know what I'd do if I found out he has a boring 90's beige car. I don't expect fast or interesting, so long as it isn't something along the lines of the SN95 Mustang.
I love the R E V E N G E overview of this video. I liked how you went letter by letter and gave a title to each. The editing really stood out. Great video EmpLemon!
funny enough I don't think Matt would have taken Joey out like that if Joey didn't check him going into the pits the previous race. Glad he did though I was out of my chair cheering at home when Matt Took him out
I don’t know anything about NASCAR….I know we have to do it for Dale. That’s all. Why was this recommended? Again I don’t know, but I watched it all. Makes no sense why this was so entertaining
He couldn't do the older stuff, not because there wouldn't be enough good footage, but because there'd be too many options. Or so my reading leads me to believe. :P
I thought nascar was the car version of ye ol' SPORTS BALL YEEEEAAAA and I came here with intention of commenting some bullshit on it making fun of it. around 3-5 minutes in the video i started getting interested in what actually was nascar racing about and people can follow certain races even if they don't happen in their town.
I'm 18 minutes in and I'm starting to think there something interesting about this sport.
I used to know nothing about motorsports whatsoever. I learned about the McClaren Senna, thought it looked cool, and wondered why they named it after someone. After reading his wikipedia page in its entirety, I would love a video on him.
28:56 What makes that even more surprising is that Mark played a significant role in launching Joey’s career, bringing attention to Joey when he was still in his pre-NASCAR teenage years and even giving him the “sliced bread” moniker.
I grew up a Dale Jr fan but I will say he is a rather selfish individual when it comes to showing love to his fans. I have never tried approaching him but watching him dodge his fans at Bristol in the pits for over a decade I lost some respect for him. The last time I was in the pits he came across the track and ran down turn three and hopped the wall to the rear entrance of the media center at Bristol in front of dozens of little children and women dying for an autograph or high five. JR was a medium grade guy with a Million dollar race car.
Simply amazing that videos of this quality and depth are available for free on YouTube when streaming services charge $10 a month for 90% garbage. As a NASCAR fan for almost 30 years this was really well done! 👏🏼
Robby Gordon almost got ran over by Tony Stewart there by being an idiot running around on a racetrack…. Kinda weird considering the incident many years later
Honestly kinda brave of Emp to pour so much time and effort into a video on a sport that's only really viewed in one continent, but god damn was it worth it. I have actually 0 interest in the sport but I was so hooked the whole time.
28:17 well.... just look at his face..... . it just screams "im a rich kid... arrogant.... my shit doesnt stink and im better than you because....uh... im rich"
21:39 We have a theory on why he didn't stop. Back then, the top 35 rule was enforced, meaning that the top 35 individual team numbers would immediately qualify for races no matter how slow they went. Any team below the top 35 in team points would have to qualify faster than the rest of the slowest (and faster than those with provisionals) to make the races.
the #10 charter was sitting at 36th in this regard. the team needed only a handful of points to pass the #36 in points and make the top-35. With only a few laps remaining, the 10 needed only a few laps to pass the #36 (which was already out of the race), so Reutimann attempted to keep going. Unfortunately for him, his equipment failed, and therefore the 10 had to race as a "go-or-go-homer" (a team that needs to qualify on speed) at the following race
To me NASCAR racing is generally boring with pre-planned outcomes like the WWF. Wrecks and fights are welcomed to keep things interesting, I don't think I'm the only fan who feels this way.
I was at the race in Phoenix where Jeff Gordon wrecked Clint Boyer. Me and my dad camped at PIR for years when I was younger because it was like Marti-gras. That was one of the most eventful years of Nascar for me for a variety of reasons. After a long race that climax was amazing. Everyone around us was so angry you could feel it in the air. I had been a Jeff Gordon fan most of my youth since about 2001. To me it was like seeing him resurrected as the ultimate villain like when he was younger. The pit crews brawling was icing on the cake, that's movie material.
That same year one of the guys we camped with called us at 4am when it was raining because he was stranded in a porta-potty with a random girl he met at the Oasis bar by the track. They apparently engaged in some lewdness in the porta potty and she threw-up on his 🍆 in the middle of it. We had to drive around looking for him for about an hour. It was damn funny to me as a young teen. There were other eventful interactions but that one definitely sticks out. 😂
@Benjai It really was the highlight of going, even moreso than the racing. Camping out with a bunch of people around you with similar "I just want to bbq and watch nascar" vibes was great. It's a shame nascar as fallen so far off it's not nearly as fun here at PIR anymore, I hope Martinsville hasn't met the same fate. We've finally given up and we won't be going anymore.
I don’t care about nascar or follow it but Bc I’ve gotten into f1 I’ve learned to respect nascar and emplemon does a great job at showing why people get invested in it
I was just now sat around watching 3 year old nascar compilations and was hoping that a video LITERALLY EXACTLY LIKE THIS would exist...and what do you know, this legend uploaded one 6 days ago.
Life long Gordon fan here. F--- Matt Kenneths and Bowyer was in my doghouse for awhile but we cool now. Tho you missed some info with that Gordon/Bowyer beef tbh. Great video tho man!
29:40 "I'm sure off the track , Joey Logano is a really great guy." You really don't have a clue what narcissists are actually like huh? Like you really just, are kind of blind to it. They are not great guys. At all. Everyone hates him for a reason. If you love him, it's because you don't know him. If you've met one narcissist, you literally know them all. This isn't hyperbole.
Outside the track he is indeed a great person as far i know, he seems to talk and take pictures with everyone and even like stuff most NASCAR fans nowday also like, like dritifing for exemple
whenever you've uploaded a Nascar video it always reminded me of that one friend that talked too much about their favorite hobby even though you had zero context to understand, but instead you can actually provide all the context for me to understand and get intrigued
Jimmy Spencer was the old guy being a fart. And trying to harass rookie driver like Kurt Busch . It's good that the manipulation tactics no longer apply in NASCAR and the sports. Better for it . Today Spencer would have been banned if he used those "good ole boy antics on today's driver's ...
The 88 in this situation is referring to the number on the driver's car. So when he says "88 tattoos on their arm" he's talking about the number itself
@Strange 88 as in two H's for Heil Hitler. Often paired with 14 which stands for the 14 words. "We must secure an existence for white people and a future for white children."
Gordon's revenge made me laugh so much just because its like a gta race lobby, literally seeking a car out and totalling it and then theres an outright brawl after the fact
Isn't this a shame , I started watching in the 50's in the L.A. area , you know like the Carol speed way and the Hudson Hornets ? , now for some reason ,( my guess it would be the good old greenback ) it's turned into controversy -- who's gonna do what to who . it sure turned me off .
Lol as much as I absolutely hate NASCAR these videos about it and it’s drama are soooo entertaining. I’ve never loved videos about something that’s usually incredibly boring as much as these hahaha
@Nextralife Actually its the guy who ran onto the track’s fault because durring a race, you don’t get out of the car. also he was wearing a black suit in the night
@Rockstar Miami Really? Didn't know it was that cut and dry. Wonder why Tony settled with the family out of court instead taking his day in civil court then. Odd behavior for an innocent man.

@Nextralife That's very common for any big name when they are accused of something. Any major company or high profile individual, no matter if what happened was their fault or not, will settle with suing families out of court. It makes it so that the ongoing case does not hang over their head and eat at their reputation. Morally questionable? Sure, but the fact that it's common, plus the fact that anyone who climbs out of their car into the racing line in a dark firesuit on a dark track while high as a kite is just asking to get hit really makes it difficult to say that Tony ran them over on purpose.
@Nextralife to be fair civil court is often a sham. Less about right and wrong and more about getting pubic opinion to flay your enemy. You can be completely innocent and lose in civil court because they like the other guy better. Plus I am sure most people would feel some guilt about killing someone even in accident right or wrong.
At 5:16 they made a call, cause of death, drove into wall. They Intimidator collided with Ken Strader, then he died, 2 seconds later. Jr. was screaming and saddening, not me nope, I was the only one laughing. I stood in the crowd with a smile on my face, I was certain a NASCAR fan would me spray me with mace. But instead, they sat there with grief, only to wish they had more than eight teeth. I didn’t want to write this poem cause I knew it was mean, but then I thought, well Earnhardt, you should’ve raced clean.
It's not though, I'd say the same about F1 too, but there is more to racing than crashes. Each motorsport has it's reasons for watching. You just don't understand the reason why Nascar is interesting. How would you feel if a Nascar fan told you that your motorsport was boring because they didn't understand it? You'd probably be slightly offended.
Please, be humble and nice to other people and their interests.
hey pls help me i never watched a nascarrace since im from europe and its not shown on free tv in my country. i want to know is crashing on purpose allowed in nascar? because in other racing series for example formula 1 it would be a penalty for the driver (championshippoints and or money or maybe even a lifetime ban if the accident was lifethreatning). PS if you are a bad driver and dont do it on purpose but are rated too dangerous they can just revoke your license. there is even a own court for racing incidents run by the FIA
You can watch highlights and free full racing (Including old classic ones) on NASCAR youtube channel Also if you have 15 dollars/euros each month, you can register to NASCAR TrackPass and watch those races live
about punishments, it used to not be punished, but as video says, drivers where suspend and depending of case they get full season suspension or worst
If Matt Kenseth has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Matt Kenseth has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Matt Kenseth has only one fan then that is me. If Matt Kenseth has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Matt Kenseth, then I am against the world.
"You make decisions every day, you make split second decisions behind the wheel.. I don't think that was a good strategic decision for him" - ominous words
Matt legit is a wholesome man that didn't choose to snap at people trying to take him out. Instead he waited to take the biggest villain in Nascar down a peg and do it lightly and with calmness
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, watched him race around the state a few times before he got to NASCAR, so I was an instant fan of his. Was so excited for his championship run and so disappointed NASCAR changed the points system because they didn't like that he only had one win, that I stopped watching the sport.
I remember being six years old when Dale Jarret retired. My dad and were trying to fill the void with a favorite. I chose Matt Kenseth and he chose Carl Edwards (teammates at the time). Always will be a Kenseth fan.
I was a kid and hated nascar because I was forced to go to so many races. Mostly in Daytona. And when it was on I was never allowed to change the channel. My ADHD ass couldn’t get into it. I was never able to look it with these optics. I thought these instances were accidents. Never knew there was so much talent and drama.
What makes the Kenseth martinsville wreck so great is just how brutal he wrecked Logano. He pinched his entire rear end into the wall, and you could see his car hopping along to the opposite side. He knew I’d he had to do something, he had to do something that would cut his chances to absolute zero. One of the best moments of NASCAR IMO, and it came at such a grim time.
Jimmy Spencer was one of the worst NASCAR drivers ever. Got upset because Kurt used a textbook Bristol move to get the win and Jimmy just lacked the skill to keep up with him. Barely got bumped out of the way and almost wrecked on the straight.
"The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose" you outdid yourself with this video, keep up the great content bro
Yeah. F1 cars cant take as much of a beating and are way faster resulting in accidents being much easier to cause and much more dangerous.
Stock cars in Nascar are generally more typical cars over the high end engineering of F1, and can take way more of a beating. As a result hitting eachother is legal allowing stuff like this.
3:48 I am glad that he did that to Tony Stewart. As a child, I hated Tony Stewart. I think that Tony Stewart is a stinky fucking piece of shit. And as a kid I thought that making him crash was good. But now that I drive, I realize that is not the way to do things. Making people crash is really bad.
This deep dive into the lore of NASCAR was something unexpected, but well appreciated. I loved this video. I never followed NASCAR but the way you described the rivalries and revenge stories was phenominal. I might fall deep into the rabbit hole of Jeff's savagery and other NASCAR legendary moments. Amazing video.
I'ts amazing, how manny of the drivers are obese. Most other race drivers are in good shape, mentally and physically, but Nascar drivers can be fat and insane and still have success. I'll never get that, nor will i ever understand, why anybody would want to something that boring.
The Island2021-04-12 04:16:54 (edited 2021-04-12 04:17:16 )
as a lifelong nascar watcher, gamer, and yes, YTP enjoyer, this video is perfect. top tier presentation. Logano being shoved into the Martinsville wall will always bring a smile to my face.
my favorite moment has to be Matt Kenseth being intro'ed with the PS1 startup sound.
didn't think any moment could feel as powerful as that. and the man deserves nothing less.
"the problem with taking from someone when you having nothing to gain is that one day, that person may wind up with nothing to lose." that gave me chills dude lol
I was at the race in '13 when Logano and Hamlin wrecked and the fight broke out around 28:04. People were so hyped they were cheering that Kyle Busch won. The whole finish was insane.
Watching Chapter 7 ist so sad. If you are a racing God in Europe, people couldn't care less how your personality is. Just because media can't milk a personality, that shouldn't be a cause to ruin a career
25:41 ok, ive tried to google search it for 30 mins now.... and cant find JACK SHIT . what does the +/- mean??? . why do most drivers have a blank "+/-"....... but some have a +1 or a -2? is that from penalties?? does it change their finishing rank? is it just a number that means nothing? . . i would REALLY appreciate an answer thanks
i was a lagano fan but only bc the car looked kool, not for him. i like aj allmendinger bc i met him in real life at the nascar hall of fame in charolette
You know, with how this is formatted, it really makes me wonder how Vinnie Mac never tried to do his own XFL-like version of Nascar. Logano is like some peak heel wrestler who doesn't play by the rules and then points fingers when someone else even looks like they're about to bend a rule. He's a perfect MJF of Nascar.
Alright.... this was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen about nascar in a long time. Also, didn't know Dale Jr. finished that race in the 5 car. But you're commentary on the Logano and Kenseth feud.... PRICELESS!! I knew every detail about that feud but the way you satirically put it together, well done!
As a racing fan all my life I really enjoyed this video. Looking through your videos I can’t tell if you’re a fan or not but regardless you put together a great video and based on the other videos I’ve watched of yours now I really like your channel and you earned my sub and I’m gonna throw your channel link in my community of friends discord’s hoping they’ll sub as well. Keep making dope ass content bro, I’d love to see a indycar, world of outlaws sprint cars and or a formula 1 “revenge” series like this, I think that would be just as popular as this video which as I’m watching now has almost 2 million views. Also, congrats on those numbers that’s a ton of views for a sub million subscribers channel and I hope you hit that million subscriber level ASAP and get yourself a gold YouTube button! Keep making great content homie.
I will never forget that race at Martinsville 2015 I was so pissed of because of what happened to Jr and then the race was being dominated by Lagano. I was so upset from like you said how frustrating the season was and in a heartbeat everything changed. Just hearing the roar of the crowd and seeing the pissed off expressions from the Lagano fans in front of me who had been flipping of Jeff Gordon every lap was a truly incredible experience. And of course Jeff Gordon went on to get his last win that was definitely the best day of my life!!
I was at that 2015 Talladega race, and I was a good race, the Hendrick racers were all in the top 4, and I remember being pissed about that wreck because he wrecked Johnson of purpose and the fact Logano won made me even more pissed.
"It was that hard to make him mad" I don't understand how someone being paid millions to participate in their favorite game could EVER be mad tbh Matt was clearly aware he was in the very top echelons of fortune
Clint Bowyer: gets lots of controversy over messing up their finish Newman who pushed him into that spot, made out with first place from that move, and got none of the blame: 🧠 🧠 🧠
Gordon and Keselowski's fight is my absolute favorite fight in NASCAR mainly because Kevin Harvick (who like everyone else was sick of Keselowski's shit) pushed Kes just into the reach for Gordon to start beating him lmao
Reminds me of when Cole Trickle changed his tires at the end of a race, just to spoil his teammate’s victory by T-boning him. Friggin Russ Wheeler....what a tool.
No financial repercussions?! Fines, cost to rebuild the car and if you keep wrecking other drivers without results, losing your career?! None of those are financial repercussions though haha
I once destroyed a yellow ferrari f50 model. Like wheels broken most of the "glass" cracked and a paint peeled of at some places. When i first searched it up on the internet a few months ago i found the 1:12 model. WHich is pretty expensive. Later i checked and confirmed that i had the 1:24 version which was worthless compared to its twice asd large brother. I still feel terrible about destroying it tho. Would look good on my desk today. Meh
Me seeing this video in my feed: What? NASCAR? Why would I ever care about that?? Me at the end, in tears: YOU GET THAT LOGANO GUY, YEAH, GET EM! THATS MY BOY!!
Playing NASCCAR Heat 5 over the weekend (Xbox Free Play Days) and these NASCAR video essays are just a choice way to pass the time while I'm scrounging up achievements.
Matt Kenseth shouldn't have been suspended for 2 races that crash was too hard to tell whether it was on purpose or not. Shows that they really like to cater to these rich brats...
I became a huge NASCAR fan for a day. The best part is most of the people are reaccuring with 33:44 Championships being quite a few of the talked about racers.
"The difference between Logano and someone like Dale Earnhardt is that Joey doesn't own it in a cool way." This is proof that modern NASCAR fans care more about personality and drama than actual racing.
I don't know if we were all Kenseth fans but those at that last race certain were. Just look at the crowd from 33:57-34:01. You'd think everyone's favorite driver had just become champion.
Part of NASCAR's decline I think also stems from the lack of drivers like Robby. If everyone is a bland babyface then casual people have no reason to get invested in drivers aside from hardcore racing fans who care about things like track performance and the like.
"and one thing you can't do is just beat and bang with people" Dale Earnhardt Sr. would like to know your location.
This video is also why now whenever I watch a race, I keep my eye on Logano and pray he ends up crashing or blowing an engine or whatever it takes to keep him from winning any stages or the race. I desperately want to see him fail. Am I a horrible person? Depends on your views. I don't hope for him to be hurt (lets be honest, nowadays unless you hit the wall at 210, do 50 end over end flips, fly out of the track, and the car explodes, there's little chance of a crash killing someone), just to lose and lose a lot.
Since nascar or our explainer while Michael was behind Robby and boned the front end of his car Robby brake checked him hard knowing it would destroy the car
Me: Oh man, the video on Dale Earnhardt was amazing! I don't think there'll ever be another NASCAR video like it! EmpLemon: Boy do I have news for you.
33:46 "The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain, is that one day that person may have nothing to lose!" BEST Damn Quote of that entire situation I've heard. Should be a proverb. A+ writing!
just because it isn't as popular anymore doesn't mean moments like this don't exist anymore. a lot of the incidents emp talked about have been in this very modern era of the sport.
You know this made me think this is basically like the motorsports equivalent to football (soccer) where not much happens most of the time but when something happens it's crazy
@Daniel Curtis my simplification is more true to the actual experience. It really is just cars trying to pass each other around corners with the rare interesting altercation. This video covers about an hour out of the thousands of total content.
@Daniel Curtis haha. This video has some of the most interesting moments in all of NASCAR. If an actual race were more interesting than this video I'd take the kids to see circuits the whole season!
@Daniel Curtis I watched NASCAR when it aired over here and I fucking hated it. The assessment is accurate, it's just circles and the occasional street circuit the drivers stumble through poorly. I'd rather watch V8 Supercars, which is saying something because they're shit too.
@Kahne 94595 it's a shame you assume I'm ignorant of the sport. Knowing all the technicalities doesn't make it any more interesting to me. I never called them hillbillies and I never said they're not respectable.
@Kahne 94595 you’re projecting with the hillbillies statement, I understand that it’s a slight commonly associated with the sport and how it can be disrespectful to fans but it wasn’t mentioned in the thread. I think a reason for the decline of nascar is the fact that the average person will have no frame of reference when watching because as you said they don’t know how hard it is to drive one of the cars. That’s not really their fault though the barrier for entry is insane, the cost of the vehicles means even if I wanted to the closest experience I could get to driving in nascar is go-carts. The reason these videos are so interesting, at least for me, is that it focuses solely on the stories that are generated from the sport instead of the sport. I doubt I’ll ever go out of my way to watch nascar, mainly because of my interest in rocket league. In my opinion the game is the best esport ever made and I doubt I’ll ever get tired of both playing and watching it. These videos have given me enough knowledge to respect fans of nascar but I still don’t want to watch it, kinda like golfing.
@Marshall Gaming ok I get your point but why were you ripping on nascar though if you know how it works. Yeah it’s been losing popularity but you attributed it to being cars going in a circle, not the slowly declining fan base and management by the sanctioning body.
@Kahne 94595 I never said it was declining due to the cars driving in a circle, isn’t that untrue anyway? In the video there are multiple tracks that aren’t just ovals. I’ve only been to one nascar race when I was very young, I didn’t enjoy it because it was really loud and the smell of burnt rubber was too strong. Honestly I’ll look into it and see if there’s another race near me, I’ll give it another go now that I know more.
There's something about EmpLemon and covering real life history in sports or theatrics or entertainment in general that makes his content interesting. He never really covers anything weakly, he gives more than he takes. He's learned so much and yet has so much to learn. He is for sure the most honest YouTuber in awhile.
LMFAO that’s what Earnhardt got for being a dirty wrecker LMFAO at least the other drivers crashed by Earnhardt were able to finish his career in one piece, UNLIKE EARNHARDT LMFAO
At 5:16 they made a call, cause of death, drove into wall. They Intimidator collided with Ken Strader, then he died, 2 seconds later.

Newman shoved Bowyer 3 wide knowing it won't work and they'll wreck and he just inherits the lead. Newman came from short track modifieds where you have to muscle your way ahead.
"The problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain is that one day, that person may wind up with nothing to lose." Damn Emp spitting fax
EmpLemmon always makes some of the most engaging and thought provoking content on YouTube. He always strives to bring originality and quality front and center.
Keep on doing whatever you're doing because it's amazing. Ily
Okay I understand that logano was a bad driver like he was a dirty driver I get that he did some dumb stuff but I think now maybe he's a little bit better
Incredible stories for a casual fan. That speed still blows my mind. It makes me sick when I see somebody take out another driver on purpose. With how these guys egos allow them to get away with this garbage? This should be a sport where ultimate respect reigns. Would make racing much more fun to watch for me.
racing rough makes things interesting, but wrecking ppl under yellow or after the race isnt even cheap, its an admission of being awful in every capacity. That out of the way, very entertaining presentation, thanks for the upload!
Dude I've never ever in my life gotten involved with Nascar but I'm down an f1 rabbit hole right now but this video opens the eyes to Nascar being way more than "he's taking a left turn"
I don't no why, but I just watched a 40 minute video on a sport that I have never watched nor given a shit for. This guy is just too good at making anything entertaining.
Never watched a minute of NASCAR, but your video is absolutely entertaining! Glad your video got recommended to me!!! And I love your use of music too!
2:03Please say it, please say iiit, pleeeeeeeeease EmpLemon: says it Yep, there it is! I knew it! Oh, and Nascar drivers racing on normal circuit is like watching a destruction derby race, except instead of using 200$ cars, they use a $300k, 850 bhp vehicle to do it.
After what Kyle Busch said at 15:45 I've just gotta say; if I saw someone with the number '88' tatooed on their arm, my first thought wouldn't be "Oh, that guy must be a Dale Earnheardt Jr. fan"
To me, a complete outsider to both this channel and NASCAR (besides knowing some drivers and a small bit of history + a bit of GT5). This video was one of the best writing I've ever seen on a documentary-style piece like this.
More than 7 chapters to the story, each individual chapter builds up the story, gives it weight as we get to relate to the situation and the characters, which makes each crash be worth so much.
I started with the video as background, but by Chapter 3 I had dropped everything I was doing and just watched the whole way through. This video is a _masterpiece_.
I wish there were more racing series with cars that can take a beating. Imagine a racing series with no overtaking or no crashing rules, just do your laps and win, the carnage and the crashes would be amazing
Bro I don’t even like this shit but the quality of your video production kept me watching. You should venture into other categories or subjects because I’d love to have you making the videos I actually like to watch
Recognizing the old videogame theme music from time to time. Also though I heard Michael Jackson's "I'm Bad" performed via 8-bit music technology. Pretty interesting and ever-change music themes. :)

Lmao I just went to my first track day at Sonoma. Turn 11 made for motorcycles sucks. Cause it’s a sharp U turn after a fast straight. Video reminds me of some of the crap Rossi pulled during races.
In F1, the most blatant piece of payback driving, and possibly the most dangerous was Ayrton Senna ramming Alain Prost out of the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix to win the championship that year. Bearing in mind the intensity of the rivalry between them, coupled with Prost controversially colliding with Senna at the same track a year before, in 1989, to secure the championship for himself, Senna's revenge was multiplied several times in its intent and how dangerous it was.
If Senna wanted to race Prost cleanly, he would have stood on the brakes before the first corner of the race, once Prost took the lead. Instead, not only was there a lack of smoke from his front tyres, but he clearly took aim to force Prost out of the race immediately. This is precisely what happened. Senna's car crashed into Prost's, knocking off the rear wing of Prost's car and the front wing of Senna's, sending them both into the runoff area at over 150 MPH, thus risking not only both their lives, but also the trackside marshalls and spectators. Despite Senna being wrongly penalised in 1989, it was astonishing that he faced not sanctions from the governing body after his reckless move in Japan in 1990
It's also worth noting that the nuclear rivalry between Dale Jr. and Kyle Busch would eventually spark into a friendship. When Dale Jr. returned to run a pace car at Indianapolis, it was Kyle Busch that bumped him as a friendly "Hey, buddy! Welcome back!"
At some point a road raging racer will be talking trash on the track and is just gonna get absolutely smoked by another driver and will likely die instantly
To be fair, Clint Boyer has screwed Gordon out of multiple wins. Seems like every time Jeff was leading by a lot with a couple laps to go, Clint would spin out in the back of the field.
my family never liked Kenseth, we were a Harvick family if anything but my God I remember the day when Kenseth recked Logano it was like Christmas for us
So when a NASCAR has to turn right, or take any corner that's more than 5 degrees, it spins out... takes an American to make bad driving look even worse.
Life lesson from youtube and nascar: The danger of taking from someone, when you have nothing to gain, is you're now at risk of them taking it from you, when they now have nothing to lose.
I remember watching this race I was 7 years old and Jeff Gordon was my favorite driver. I was happy about this not only because I hate Joey logano but also it helped Jeff win and make the championship 4
I mean, I was a junior fan through the 8’s lowest point and through the 88’s rough patch, I liked Earnhardt because he was earnest and usually polite. I really enjoyed Michigan.
Just a quick question at 10:11 what is the game on the screen I've tried to look it up on the internet and can't find it anywhere, can someone help me out with this?
I loved when Tom Cruise used to race in the 80s in the mellow yellow car and was putting people out and rubbing all over the place! He even played himself in that movie then went to acting after sadly. Best racer ever
Look we all hate Joey but the two Daytona wrecks really weren't his fault. One he was enter turn 4 and Brad got a HELL of a push I mean he was shot out of a cannon. Joey was already committed to the bottom and Brad well drove over him. The Second was all Kyle Busch who that that day ran out of talent and caused a massive pile up.
One thing that i noticed in a lot of your videos is the constant use of Gran Turismo 4 menu music and I'm absolutely all for it. Here's hoping for a Gran Turismo video!
Also you act like Logano had no reason for racing at Kansas. He was going for 4 straight wins. A win is a win would you go for the win if you had the fastest car?! Hell yeah I would!! Matt Kenseth fault for the Kansas incident. He could have let Logano go.
Even though you didn’t mention this in your video I’ll say it for those who are still Confused. Joey got bullied and pushed around in the beginning of his career, so when finally pushed back people go butthurt over it. Plain and simple.
I don't watch Nascar, only F1 but I've known about some of these guys from playing Nascar games when I was young. The things that happen in this video are crazy unbelivable hen you think about other motorsports. I extremely enjoyed the video especially the last 2 guys.
@GloomGaiGar I watch Endurance races, Formula E and Junior series as well from time to time but personally, I don't have much time to watch everything that's why I focus on F1 which I enjoy the most.
as an F1 fan this shit is literally unfathomable. Like I literally can't imagine if any of these benign crashes that start the drama happened. Like different sports and all but if you put guys into the wall like in nascar its totally different. Not sure if it's better one way or the other it's just literally beyond imagination for me
Tony Stewart's idol is A. J. Foyt. Indy car owner and former drive and first 4 time Indy 500 winner. Had a chip on his should the size of the rock of Gibraltar. Yeah, Tony wasn't afraid of using his bumper but he got more then gave.
27:08 It's worth mentioning that Brian Vickers didn't actually wreck Matt Kenseth; rather, he was involved in an accident with Kyle Busch, which caused his track bar to break.
That's why they have flaps all over them that you see popping up when they spin. They're designed to keep the car on the ground as best they can. Compared to cars flying into and over the catch fence at the end of the aero wars in the late '80s and '90s, it's a dramatic improvement.
I saw this so many times on my page thinking this isn't watchable, then when I watch it I get interested. This is the best put together video I've came across.
Jeff Gordon is "in the conversation as one of the greatest ever". - LOL I don't think very many true race car fans are having a debate about that. haha

Dude you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this video. Just wish you coulda worked in the Earnhardt/Mayfield/Terry Labonte trifecta
Matt Kenseth's superfluous suspension shows just how absurd the supervision of the sport was that year; the man was a hero. He was a hero, and they suspended him.
A year or so ago, Logano and Kyle Busch got into it after a race. Joey gave Kyle a bloody nose. For a few moments, I was Joey Logano fan. Both of them are drivers you love to hate.
Ya know, thanks for making this. My step dad is a big NASCAR guy and I grew up watching it with em but not really enjoying or caring about it. It was really eye opening to hear these names and stories again because I remember most of these names and events they were just tucked away in my memories. Anyways I know it’s annoying to get requests but I’d love to see more NASCAR content if you have any ideas! Rally racing might be an interesting history to look in to as well.
@EmpLemon, in defense of Logano people were beating and banging on him and he finally retaliated. Someone should have told him not to mess with the other quiet kid.
I know I'm late but the whole Youtooz section is an amazing parody of that early toy youtuber guy, gosh what was his name Mike Mozart I think? Keep up the great work dude love your work!
We know why Reutimann stayed on the track. If he finishes the race, he in in the top 35 in points and gets to start the next race at Texas no matter how bad he may qualify. If he doesn't finish the race, which he didn't, he ends up in 37th and has to qualify for the next race. Sponsor money for the team was on the line. The error was the top two stayed on the track. Since everyone else was coming in, there was no reason for Johnson and Gordon not to pit. I remember screaming at the television about how stupid it was to stay out. Just because the announcers of the day didn't know what Reutimann was doing was no reason for the rest of the world not to know it they wanted to. Most of the time that is the way it is. The announcers don't understand and the sheep follow with no thought of finding out for themselves. We are in a world controlled by the masters and most just follow and anyone who doesn't follow the crowd is an enemy of the state. 1984 is alive and well.
Nascar would be so interesting if it took place on normal race courses instead of ovals. A race were you can ram the other drivers of the road sounds like Burnout irl.
Nascar suspending jimmy spencer was the dumbest thing they have ever done. If anything they should have turned him lose on kyle. Both needed to learn the mans way.
EmpLemon: Anyone who actually know anything about racing knows you don't side swipe a car trying to cut their tire, they would have just as good chance cutting their own tire.
So my dad likes drag racing. My dad me and my brother were out eating and my brother said "why don't you like nascar?" My dad said "anyone can turn left" My brother replied with. "Anyone can drive straight."
EmpLemon: I can't take it any longer, You are as totally lost as so many other people who don't actually "watch" races, you see who wins the most races without actually seeing how they do it. If you constantly intentionally wreck everyone else who can out drive you, that doesn't make you the best driver. You call Lagano a "dirty" driver, but call Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Sr. $ Jr., etc. great drivers: Lagano is a sweetheart comparison.
if that last one is as true as stated, cause i dont really watch Nascar, i feel bad for Kenseth. try so hard to be one of the good guys not fucking w anyone just to get shit on
The team owners definitely don't like drivers wrecking million-dollar cars in NASCAR either, and the sanctioning body has made a great many rules changes to try and maintain some of the bumping and spinning, while punishing major crashes and pileups. The hard part is both defining one versus the other, and trying to identify an intentional hit versus an accident.
to some of these it was hard to see who to cheer for since i know nothing of this sport except in kenseth's situation since he's just a calm guy who wont get mad
turns around the opposite direction during a race Time to play the lottery!

Man. I know nothing at all about Nascar. But im at 30:00 right now and I the anticipation of "whats gonna happen next" is killing me! EmpLemon this is some awesome story telling!!
Edit: We dont deserve to watch this for free on YT. What a fantastic video.
Especially because he was criticized for his rough driving the previous race at Texas, and then he gets a front row seat to Gordon's revenge. He had every right to be pissed off
Kenseth was the every mans driver. Laid back and calm, he didn’t get angry. He just took Lagano out like a silent savage, and strutted right to the pits. It’s always the quiet ones, I should know I’m one of them.
@Ricky thanks. I’ll take that as a compliment (honestly can’t tell if that was sarcasm😬), but I was very quiet in school. I wasn’t that kid who sat in the back of the class and never spoke to anyone. I also wasn’t a social butterfly either. I was also the kid who could sit at any lunch table, and go mostly unnoticed. Whilst simultaneously listening to all the drama, and typical high school banter. I opened up more towards the final years of high school, but I still enjoyed my quiet time. I keep my circle of friends small, and have avoided being used by others. I use to hear people talking very badly about their “friends” at lunch. Then later in the day see them hanging out like it’s all fine. I never understood that, so it took me longer to make friends. So the ones I have are loyal to the bone. I still talk regularly with all my high school friends, and picked up a few more in college. I’d rather be by myself than surround myself with a bunch of fakes.
24:18 I honestly feel bad for Kenseth he's just vibin bein an innocent bystander then BOOM gets caught between the legend and the guy that had too much 5-hour energy.
I watched this and smiled with nostalgia. I am 22 now, and I grew up on Nascar. I have stopped watching in recent years since my favorite (48), declined. This reminded me of the days I spent with my family watching races.
I then went and watched your Dale Earnhardt documentary. I cried. Thank you so much for making content like this. If you ever see it, just know that it brings happiness to people like me.
I just wanted to say that you are doing very well making these mini documentaries. Like I never saw myself having my attention getting hooked into this content. Keep up the great work Emp. You're awesome.
If you're wondering what happened to each driver in this video, let me do a rundown: Tony Stewart: Like EmpLemon pointed out he would go on to win the 2011 championship beating Carl Edwards on a tiebreaker because he had more wins. In 2012 he would score 3 wins and finish 9th in the standings, he would get 2 more wins in his career, in Dover in 2013 and Sonoma again in 2016 before retiring that year, now he owns a 4 car team and just recently started a racing series called SRX on CBS. Brian Vickers: After the 2011 season, his team Red Bull Racing would shut down and would drive for Michael Waltrip Racing, he would score a win at Loudon in 2013 but ultimately his career would be cursed with blood clots. Ironically he would also retire in 2016 driving for Tony Stewart. Unfortunately, that's not the end, it turns out Vicker's wife was working with epstein and as of this comment, it's still under investigation. Robby Gordon: Robby Gordon would not win a single race for his single-car (sometimes two-car) team despite jumping from Chevrolet to Ford to Dodge to Toyota and back to Dodge, he would make his final start in NASCAR in 2012 before ultimately shutting his team down. He would then start his own racing league called the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks where he has won a couple of championships. Michael Waltrip: Just like Robby Gordon he would not win a single race for his team, as a driver at least, they would win a total of 7 races, but his team was very controversial, in the 2007 Daytona 500 his car was held up in tech inspection because there was an unknown substance in the intake manifold, it would turn out to be an oxidizing agent that would give his car more horsepower, then there was Spingate where his driver, Clint Bowyer, intentionally spun out so his teammate Martin Truex, Jr. into the chase at Dover in 2013. They would ultimately shut down after 2015 and now he works at Fox Sports. Jimmy Spencer: Like EmpLemon mentioned Jimmy Spencer would find work on the now discontinued Speed Channel right up until 2012. I couldn't find anything of what happened to Jimmy Spencer after that. In an interview on the Dale Jr Download a few months after this video was uploaded, Jimmy Spencer said he didn't really punch Kurt, but gave him a slap. Kurt Busch: After his 2004 championship Kurt Busch would still drive for Roush Racing in the 97 until the 3rd to last race of 2005 after a DUI and a suspension from NASCAR, He would replace the now retiring Rusty Wallace in the 2 Miller Lite Dodge and later the 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge for Team Penske where he would score 8 wins before leaving the team after 2011. He would then have the worst year of his career in 2012 driving for Phoenix Racing, a backmarker team has only 1 win to his credit. He would then join Furniture Row Racing in 2013 where his career would see a bit of a turn around despite not winning for the team, in 2014 he was picked up by Tony Stewart to drive his 4th car, the 41 Haas Chevrolet where in his 6th start for the team, he would win at martinsville, he raced for Chip Ganassi Racingfrom 2019 to 2021 and has had 3 wins for the organization, he would join 23XI Racing in the 45 Toyota in 2022. Kyle Busch: After 2008, Kyle Busch would have a very successful run with Joe Gibbs Racing with two championships in 2015 and 2019, from 2008 to as of this comment, Kyle Busch has scored 54 wins for Joe Gibbs Racing and has yet to have a winless season since his rookie season in 2005. Safe to say he'll still be around for a while. Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: He would eventually break his winless streak in Michigan in 2012, he wouldn't score another win until the 2014 Daytona 500 and 3 more that season, 2015 would see him score 3 more wins and could've easily won the championship in each season, but that would be the last time Dale Earnhardt, Jr. would ever see victory lane in the cup series, due to a series of concussions throughout his career, he would retire in 2017 and would take up as a colored commentator on NBC and team owner of his Xfinity Series team JR Motorsports alongside his sister Kelley. Denny Hamlin: To this day, Denny Hamlin has yet to win a championship. in 2018 he would go winless and there were rumors that he would be let go after 2019, those rumors disappeared after he won 15 races from 2019 to 2021, will he ever win a championship? We'll have to find out. Chase Elliott: in 2018 at Sonoma, Chase Elliott would eventually get his first career win in the re-numbered 9 car, and would score 2 more wins that season. In 2019 he would score another 3 and would miss the final 4. 2020 would see him score his first-ever championship with 5 wins including the last 2 races of the season, in 2021 he would only win 2 races and finish 4th in the standings and pretty much played second fiddle to teammate and eventual champion Kyle Larson. Jeff Gordon: Jeff Gordon would score a single win in 2013 as well as 3 more in 2014, finishing 6th in both seasons. He would get his final career win in 2015 at Martinsville, same race Matt Kenseth wrecked Joey Logano in the thumbnail, and would finish 3rd that season. He would come back in a few races in 2016 substituting for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. but would fully retire after that, he now works at Hendrick Motorsports and was picked by Rick Hendrick to take over Hendrick Motorsports after Rick retires. Ending his career with 93 wins, 4 championships, and the keys to the kingdom. Clint Bowyer: like EmpLemon said, Bowyer would never come close to winning a championship, as a matter of fact, he wouldn't see victory lane until 2018 driving for Tony Stewart at Martinsville, he would win again that season at Michigan but that would be the end of his winning days, he retired in 2020 and is a colored commentator on Fox. Matt Kenseth: In 2016, Matt Kenseth would score only 2 wins but would finish a strong 5th in the standings, 2017 would be his last season driving for Joe Gibbs Racing scoring one final victory in that same Phoenix race Chase wrecked Denny Hamlin in as he would be replaced by up and coming star Erik Jones. In 2018 he would reunite with Roush Fenway Racing in the 6 car driving part-time. He wouldn't race in 2019, but in 2020 after The Kyle Larson incident on iRacing (I'll let you google what that is) he was tasked to race the 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing, but his time there was less than stellar, to say the least. He would call it a career after that. Joey Logano: In 2016, Joey Logano scored 3 wins and finished 2nd to Jimmie Johnson in the standings. It would be far worse in 2017 as he had a win taken away due to a tech inspection violation and would miss the playoffs altogether. In 2018, he made a comeback scoring his first-ever championship, all of his other seasons afterward see him finishing in the top 5 in the standings. Still racing in the 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford for Team Penske.
Pretty sure this is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining vids this race fan has ever watched. I have followed 6 different series that take place in the US, Australia, and Europe over the years. No racing moment has ever been as gratifying as watching the ever stoic Kenseth pancake Logano into the outside wall, which is somewhat pathetic, but that was a great day for almost all Nascar viewers. I don’t think anyone saw that coming.
Thanks for taking us down memory lane and thank you, Matt, for finally having had enough.

1:30 Perfect quote for this: For non-Americans: this is (partly) why NASCAR is more popular than F1 in the US. We like violence. You can't really crash into each other - or even accidentally scrape, for that matter - in F1 because of how fragile and exposed the car is. With NASCAR's bigger roadcar-like cars, we can watch more violence without feeling guilty about taking joy from people getting seriously injured or killed. Yes, a lot of the times the crashes and incidents are potentially fatal, but there are still generally more "action" that is far less life threatening than in F1. Not to mention, drivers usually aren't gonna want to to do something that can potentially kill them, and so NASCAR drivers are for more likely to to do road rage or drive recklessly and/or far more aggressively than F1
As a Brit who knows less than nothing about NASCAR, this stuff is fascinating, part of me wishes that they did Formula One like this, instead of stewards inquiries, just have Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel slugging it out.
Matt Kenseth was like "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" Karma is a bitch for Joey.
It's been a minute since I was last really into Nascar but I only knew Joey sporting the #22 and never knew he was THAT bad. He got what was coming towards him
As I Brit I don't know much about Nascar, but I love how the cars are so close to loosing grip just the slightest touch will fuk you up 🤣🤣 The Carnage is beautiful 😍
You have made me appreciate NASCAR, now I can enjoy the Yello song even more. Then again like everything it has become commercialized and soulless, except starcraft brood war, it has gone the opposite way of getting more spicy as players are not financially beholden to sponsors but instead their chat/fans which gives them freedom to be themselves.
As an Aussie, NASCAR will always baffle me with the on track fighting and bumping and then the off track stuff as well, only resulting in a one race ban. Normally hitting and bumping into other cars is ground on but this like the opposite. Not against it in anyway, it’s enjoyable really, just weird rules for someone looking in I guess...

As a guy who never watched NASCAR, NASCAR in the 2000s looks like a legalized road rage
Bobby Ewing2021-05-20 02:49:14 (edited 2021-05-20 03:19:42 )
I remember one time in Bristol Speedway back in 2007 Carl Edwards was behind Kyle Bush and he bumped him from behind and took the lead.
When he was asked about the bump after the race he just was like "I thought to myself "Would he do this to me if he was in this position?" Well it speaks for itself"
I went to the following race in California and we were at the edges of our seats for a blood bath. Nothing happened. A boring Jimmie Johnson win :(
I love how now, NASCAR and FOX are trying to make Joey out to be this lovable guy, when he's been a douchebag his entire career. Like, couldn't y'all pick a more likable person to bring on for commentary?
It's kind of a series thing, you didn't see Tony wrecking people in IndyCar because you just can't do that in those cars. But stock cars and (his favorite) sprint cars, beating and banging is definitely on his menu.
Johnny 52021-06-17 17:13:04 (edited 2021-06-17 17:20:28 )
Matt Kenseth, Bowyer and the Sh*t Chase Screwed Gordon out of 2 more Championships and let's get it right, Clint Bowyer caused himself NOT to win the Championship!!
if you say the f word in an interview on sky sports youre demoted to test driver, while in nascar they really let mfs fight and pit maneuver and only give them 8 days of suspension
Usually the only things that can get you slammed with a huge penalty are major technical violations (messing with Tires, Fuel, Engine) and egregious team orders (Spingate). The cars nowadays are so safe that drivers can handle issues between themselves, as seen here.
A good example occurred In one of the lower series races, when Noah Gragson backed up into another driver’s pit box during that driver’s stop and while there was a fight, no penalties came out of it.
To be fair, there was one incident where Dale Jr cursed in an interview and was fined $10,000 and penalized 10 points (which possibly cost him the championship if I remember correctly), and the fans hated it. The culture is just that much different.
I would wear that like a badge of honor if I were Kurt Busch. He certainly seems to have taken it as a passed torch to carry.

Why not just hit anyone who tries to pull alongside you? Or tap the brakes when they pull behind to try to pit you? Edit: finished the video, I like Joey Legano's driving. Wish he owned his villainy though.
Anyone who thinks that racing revenge is normal, need a maturity check. Theres a long ago history of it, but where all other series grew up and stopped, Nascar didnt.
In F1 or any real international series, or any small national series like Nascar, if you intentionally hit, wreck or damage anyone elses car, or even bumped someone as a means to pass them ... all the way down to throwing your helmet or punching your fined, sanctioned via banned for a race or more, and basically vilified by the sanctioning body, the teams, fans and media. "I just tried to move him out of the way" is not only not a defence, its either an admission of an inability to pass properly, or ego that thinks that putting him in the wall is a workable option.
This kind of behaviour, and any childish inability to control yourself in a professional forum just shows you cant operate like an adult. Any fan that prefers this kind of crap, are childish neanderthals that need to mix WWE and racing, to see any value.
There is a very good reason Nascar drivers dont leave to higher series internationally, they just aren't wanted.
Benjamin Morris2021-06-06 03:03:48 (edited 2021-06-06 03:07:25 )
I'm actually on Busch's side against Spencer... The feud and cycle of revenge was/is entertaining to watch and stuff, but it was Spencer who ultimately started it... Also, Spencer should have been charged in criminal court with assault and battery. That is straight up crime - especially since it wasn't even an during the race!
for me, who has never been into nascar (at least the racing itself. i read quite a lot about the cars themselves), this video just made the sport look like a buch of egocentric fat assholes crashing each other out, and the sport embracing it as it's the only entertainment source it provides.
it essentialy made the series look dissapointingly close to the acted bullshit like wwe.
NASCAR has tried promoting a bunch of generated 'drama' in recent years, and the similarity to wrestling kayfabe has been noted by a lot of fans. Bumping and wrecking is a part of stock-car racing and there's no getting around that. Similarly, series like IndyCar and F1 have their own personalities that play into the racing series itself, and creates some sense of drama. But NASCAR exaggerating and promoting it so much rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
One thing I regret nowadays is disliking Matt Kenseth. Idk why, I just didn't like him. And I was a Johnson fan too, NOT a Logano Fan. But seeing that rivalry is just chefs kiss. I absolute hate Logano and based on recent events, I consider him to be one of my most hated drivers. I hate him more than Keslowski, which says a lot. And he is right there with Kyle Busch as my least favorite driver. With Kenseth, I have mellowed so much to him in the past 4 years that I actually like him now.
After 26 races, the top 32 drivers in points advance to the playoff, with their points reset to zero. All other Cup drivers are eliminated from any further racing that season.
After the first three playoff races, the top 24 drivers, based only on points earned in the first three playoff races advance, with their point totals reset to zero, while the 29th through 32nd place drivers are eliminated from any further racing that season.
After the sixth playoff race, the top 24 drivers in points during playoff races 4 through 6 advance, and their points get reset to zero. The 25th through 28th place drivers in the standings are eliminated from any further racing that year.
After the ninth playoff race, the top 20 drivers in points during races seven through 9 advance to the final race, while the 21st through 24th place drivers are eliminated from competing in the final race.
For the final race, only the top 20 drivers in points earned from races 7 to 9 compete.
Previous points are tossed out, and the winner of that final race is NASCAR champion.
The idea is that in order to win the. Championship, you must not only make the playoff, but compete well enough to get into the finale, and win that final race.
Thoroughly enjoyed this however completely disagree with your take on Logano. In my opinion he was routinely hit by the Toyota team drivers as a group season long. Your prior nominees like Hamlin and Kyle Busch sorta prove my point, they give some else receives. This repeated action would make any driver sour so I’m not surprisedJoey did not cut anyone any slack. Him hitting Kenneth was just a racing deal for the lead, not payback and it does matter if he was already locked in as a win is a win. But Kenneth blatant wreck back of Joey was one of the worst I ever saw. A 2 race penalty at the end of the season was meaningless. They should have put Joey into the next stage and hit Kenneth with a penalty that no other driver in a car dozens of laps down only out there for revenge would ever ever do it again. It may have been popular with the fans but is not the kind of excitement the sport needs.
Unpopular opinion: Joey Logano was not in the wrong at Kansas. Watch back the footage. Logano had a huge run on Kenseth, Joey was practically already on his quarter panel, and Matt threw a late block. Its not Joeys job to see that things turn out fair. If someone turns in on him that late, he has no obligation to slow down or go down with Kenseth.
@Magic-Man attempted murder????? In F1, maybe, but NASCAR? The last fatal crash was in 2001 and almost all crashes end with zero or minimal injuries. The near-fatal crashes, which are very rare, are never even intentional. Saying people wrecking other people in a sport is attempted murder is like saying golf is an interesting sport
Because even if you get #2 in line, #3's going to have a gigantic run on you. And the problems compound because NASCAR uses double file restarts so there's going to be a separate line of cars not affected at all flying past you and if you try to pull that you now have a gigantic target on your back and people are going to be cautious around you and not give you help you need on some tracks.
I have the feeling that Emp wanted this video to come out in time for last year's fall Martinsville race because so many of the stories involve fall Martinsville in some way, kind of like how the Dale video came out on the same day as the Daytona 500 that year while a lot of the video focused on the Daytona 500, but it wasn't ready so he waited for this one.
As a person from a civilised part of the world, i knew nothing of nascar before, and now i see why its moraly in the right to bully nascar fans. Literally mentally incapable hot headed childish drivers doing circles and getting angry at each other for being mentally incapable hot headed childish drivers. Watching paint dry is more entertaining than Nascar, why would youtube bring me here.

Jeff Gordon used to carry himself with decorum... but near the end of his career he succumbed to the dark side, becoming just like his hot-tempered opponents.
I am honestly ashamed to say that I used to be a Jeff Gordon "fan."
"Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," saith the LORD. – Romans 12:19b —
Dude... "the problem with taking from someone when you have nothing to gain, is that one day that same person may have nothing to lose" that was worded excellently!
I grew up watching nascar (my people are country bumpkins) so I love seeing all these videos popping up on YouTube introducing so many new folks to the amazing and wild history of nascar! it can be boring to watch, but also there have been so many entertaining personalities (my dad HATED darrell waltrip 😂) that getting to know their driving styles makes watching way more interesting!
And what a great moment for Kenseth too, phenonemal driver from what I can tell from this vid but he never got a roaring audience for his skill alone. He was the dude to set Logano straight and the crowd was booming for him after that!!
The thumbnail was my favorite wreck ever. I had tickets to the championship race and after that wreck I knew Jeff Gordon was going to win and race for the Ship!
My favorite driver ever that got me into NASCAR was Jeff Gordon. I still have a 24 mug and a Jeff Gordon poster to this day. Love hearing him just say “I’m gonna get his ass” cause dammit I’d be the same way 😂😂😂
Great job Youtube, you unsubscribed me from Emp and I missed this one. I have very few subscriptions so I don't get why this happens. My Nascar knowledge is very limited, but it's fun to see these summaries of the drama that unfolded over the years!
I'm pretty surprised that the 2015 season was the least favorite season. Jeff Gordon's nearly story-book ending season, Martin Truex Jr. bringing an underdog team to final, Harvick going for two in a row and Kyle's great comeback was something to watch.
We live in a moment in time that is strangely introspective. We could continue a legacy of traditionally American legends and values that inherently inspire hope through pure dedication and athleticism, or we can attribute this video to being a historic representation of a dying culture before its interest is finally extinguished.
My take. I've never cared about NASCAR. Until Emps videos... They made me recognize that this is a sport like any other at the national level. It's a shame to see such a societal shift away from something with such intriguing history.
That being said I've only learned about the sport in these videos, so really... what do I know?
David Ruetiman was in a fight for the top 35, which at that time meant q guaranteed starting position, and if I remember correctly, he was a few laps shy of passing someone that would put him 35th for the next race. That fight was about as intense around that time as the championship, so teams would get desperate.
Quality documentaries, I have watched four or five of your downward spiral videos. I have learned more about youtube and what it's like to be a creator for youtube then I ever thought I would want to know.. Your ability to convey a point and give indepth fact of information for that point is very impressive.. I have a idea 💡. Just a thought.. take a look at bristol motor speedway and the downward spiral it is in.. the most successful NASCAR track ever then one day someone decided to tear up the corners to make it "better" ??? They can't give tickets away.. #3 🤔
I watch all your vids the second they come out but I dont care about Nascar in the slightest, so I hesitated to watch this but somehow, someway you made NASCAR very interesting to watch 🖤🤑
Thing that always surprised my is that when a freaking cry-baby wrecked someone at the front of the field, taking out many other drivers who could have been in for some decent points, there wasn' t a line after the race of drivers waiting to give HIM some 'payback'.
24:14 Man Bowyer didn't deserve this, the accident was not his fault and that season was problem the only change that he had of winning a championship in all of his life and he lose because of petty revenge 😔

Guess I'm the only one that actually respects Logano. It's a sport, do what you can to win unless it breaks the rules. Logano did what he must even if it pissed people off, and I respect that. I'm not even a race car fan lol, but the hate for the man is dumb to me.
We have a local rally championship where I live. Back in the 2010s pretty much every year this driver would wreck the leader to take the win (not cool). Final year of the 2010s and at pretty much every single corner he got shunted off the racing line by the driver behind him (usually someone he'd wrecked). There were some occasions when a driver had a clear pass on him, but hung back to shunt him at the next corner. Turns out the entire field had drawn an agreement to split all prize money awarded between anyone who made contact with this driver during the final race. The previous years wrecked driver even put 10k of his own money into the pool to anyone who was able to wreck him and cost him the race. This dude is literally the most chilled out dude ever, so it was amazing when he was the one who wrecked this guy XD
Yeah comparing punching in the face with serius damage meaning 1 race suspended in NASCAR to being banned for the sport for doing helmet throwing and destroying object in F1. The diffrence between the diffrent Sports is so big.
Denny Hamlin wrecks Chase and then proceeds to make the rest of that race an absolute shitshow and didnt even win the race. All around circus performance.
as a natural f1 fan, i dont like people who take people out for advantage (schumacher 1994,1997). about the kenseth logano incident, i feel that had logano had just settled into 2nd behind kenseth, to me hes no racer if he would settle for second. obviously i hate the fact he purposely hit kenseth around and definitely deserved the revenge, but there was no point turning him around, when he probably couldve got past cleaner and maybe he wouldve won that years championship
I wont like i rewatch your videos often. And for not liking nascar prior but after this and the one on dale ive seriously consider watching now or atleast old races. Hell i might try to work at crashes at Indianapolis
Seeing the hands go up when Joey got taken out in slow motion with that choice of music was a thing. Great videography. Joey Logano wanted to have his cake and eat it too, but he would find out, that doing so is a quick way to end up eating no cake at all. That's Matt Kenseth's cake. Respect.
A big factor that makes a difference is that given the designs of the cars, the tracks and the safety devices in the cars the governing bodies of nascar have done a lot more to try and make the sport less fatal and have imposed major financial penalties on things in the sport that make it more dangerous. While yes nascar has had very fatal incidents it’s governing body has tried to do a lot to make it as safe as possible with obvious knowledge that there are some things no one will walk away from.
With football one of the biggest problems that exists is a major reluctance in the governing body of the sport to actively add newer performance enhancing substances to the list of banned steroids even if they likely cause even greater harm to the athlete. And they show very little signs of wanting to ban the kinds of play that actively lead to major head and neck injuries and concussions.
Shortly after Dale died when nascar forced the adoption of head and neck restraints by all drivers and teams and began adding safr barriers to the tracks a lot of the older fans complained they were pussifying NASCAR. really the same complaints being made about the nfl being pressured by fans to lower injuries are the same backlash NASCAR got for implementing safety measures against the loudest fans wishes.
Hell emp even mentioned in his never ever on dale that part of the dwindling fandom of nascar may be related to how people don’t want to watch it as much because they are less likely to see someone die, live on tv.
Anyways the football too dangerous thing. Nascar had the same thing in the Early 2000s and the backlash against making it safer is echoed by the backlash against making football safer. Today
the difference is nascar had the guts to say our drivers are more important to keep alive than appeasing a few fans that want a bloodsport

@【ハンス・フリッツ】 it’s the problem with all EU sports. There is something fake about the culture over there where etiquette is valued over realness. F1 is so political that it ruins what should be the best racing org in the world. I still prefer NASCAR over F1 strictly because of the rivalries and not nearly as political with sister teams teaming up to pressure FIA for rule changes and things of that nature.

0 likesI have never watched a race in my life. This documentary alone not only brought a lot of insight to the sport, it might have single handedly made me a posible fan. Great content and even better delivery. Truly enjoyed it.
1 likeWith all these great examples of drama (and I mean that in the best possible way) in the sport of Nascar, I'm surprised Tom Cruise isn't making a decade's late sequel to Days of Thunder like with Top Gun.
4 likesFor real, no sarcasm. It would be one of the easiest scripts to write;
Tom plays the veteran driver, Cole Trickle. Cole's best days are behind him, he hasn't won a race in years and he's looking forward to retirement.
After a mediocre season, the team employing Cole let him go. With nowhere left to go, Cole takes a job as a team manager for a new, independently owned racing team. The driver/owner is Buddy Burns, son of Rowdy Burns. Rowdy's passed away and Buddy's dream is to be a Nadcar champion like his father had once been.
*Vicrory is vital because Buddy has invested everything he owns (including his body shop and home) to finance his team.
Cole manages the team and coaches Buddy through the racing season. The drama/conflict comes in the name of Zac Graham, a rich kid driving for another independent team his daddy financed for him. Zac sees the tallented Buddy as the main obstacle to his own shot as a Nascar superstar.
As the racing season goes on, Zac pulls dirty tricks - bumping Buddy into spinouts (pitt maneuver) either off onto the grass or into the wall. Cole tries to keep his best friend's son from giving into the urge to get payback and to drive clean.
At the end of Act 2, Zac knocks Buddy into a high speed spin, right into the paths of dozens of other racers. Buddy's car gets repeatedly hit and the young underdog is left too injured to race.
Act 3, with the last and most important race of the season left to go, Cole gets behind the wheel of Buddy's backup car. On one of the most challenging track in Nascar, Zac sees Cole as a feeble old has-been and an easy target. However, the far more experienced Cole dodges Zac's attempted bump, sending the cocky rich kid into the wall. Cole crosses the finish line in first place.
The End
Wow, I never fully realized how truly involved and purely conscious Nascar was. This put it into perspective amazingly! Thank you!

4 likesNASCAR isnt very fun to watch. but the history is fascinating and the papyrus games (mostly NR2003 as its the most popular and most modded) can be very fun, as drafting and driving into gaps between multiple racers can be fun to do with more constrained time and amount of laps. i havent played the Thunder games, but its focus on giving drivers personalities and rivalries is exactly the kind of thing i wish more career modes in racing games had, so i'll need to give it a look.

@Minerva's Owl i like a lot of these older racing sims a lot, because back then complete games with no micro-transaction and games as a service non-sense were published, and they were usually easier to modify. same reason why i like rFactor. not only that if there are mods with a historical focus thats great too. going through multiple generations of racing and experiencing first-hand the changes that were made over time is really cool. that reminds me, i should try Grand Prix Legends, tho im sure its too hardcore for me.

Nascars are all slanted to the left, including the bodywork, wheels, tires, and even chassis, and can't turn far to the right at all. Stock cars are basically nascars but for going both ways and not having any slant in any components. The difference is comparable to sprint kart racing and autokart cross racing. Completely different, but look similar from the outside.

1 like@Daniel Curtis hahaha sir, i assure you bubba wallace is not in my head. much to the chagrin of nascar, who clearly is pushing him to be “the guy.” you named one race he ALMOST won at, but didn’t. he is no longer in inferior equipment, the best of the best actually, and is mid-end of the pack every race. he is NOT good, and he’s irrelevant to me as far as where he’s at, i wouldn’t pay any attention to him if it weren’t for the broadcast updating where he’s at positionally (usually in the mid-20’s), every 10 minutes.
3 likesi have literally never heard of someone being a landon cassill fan? and then to assume they are a fan of him only because they dislike bubba due to politics is strange, but go off i guess. it seems as though you’re a frustrated bubba fan, i hope for your sake he somehow manages to crack a top-15 finish this year - which he has yet to do lol

25 likesmy dad had the same reaction when he saw this
3 likesIt's very much a part of the sport, not necessarily the drivers. For example, Tony Stewart is often characterized as being aggressive, but before NASCAR he drove in the open-wheel IndyCar series. Robby Gordon has driven in almost every series imaginable, to include IndyCar and CART. 'Clean' drivers like Jeff Gordon and F1 converts like Juan Pablo Montoya certainly hit plenty of people as well.
25 likesAnd it's just a fact of pack racing. You have 40+ cars on tracks ranging from 1/2 mile (800m) to 2.5 miles (4km), in cars just as fast as F1 but usually nearer their top speed. Where F1 tends to have longer tracks and a smaller grid that stretches out into a single-file line over time, NASCAR usually sees its cars running in close-quarter groups 2-3 cars wide, so hitting each other is just what you expect. Overtaking isn't just getting around a single car in front of you, often it means breaking through a track-wide wall of 3400-pound (1542 kg) cars.
Probably because its just sheetmetal getting damaged

1 likeEither way, it's about running the track consistently. There are many more opportunities to make a race-ending or race-winning move on an oval than there are on a road circuit in a race of similar length.
In addition, the cars are also quite hard to control, as while they have plenty of downforce its much, much less than that of an open-wheel with similar HP.
Well yes the sport was founded on booze runners so that may contribute to something.

1 like@Kawazephyr 川ゼファー Everyone has opinions but just to make fun of NASCAR with just saying race cars go round circles is just wrong, watch this. NFL are guys tackling each other for a ball, baseball are people hitting balls with sticks, soccer are people trying to kick a ball, and finally, golf is boring people hitting small balls in holes. Give some respect PLEASE.
6 likes@Ripley like tbh, sports are really meant to be played rather than watched. I’d assume people watch sports to support teams or players, kinda like when parents support their kids when they play sports. Alternatively, people who have played certain sports (like baseball, basketball, etc) watch to see their idols play. Or maybe in the case of racing, that could stem from the love of cars (and/or brand loyalty to a manufacturer).
2 likesBut personally I think playing a nascar video game would be more enjoyable than watching nascar. Or playing Madden is more fun than watching NFL by the fact that you are participating in something rather than watching. Just my two cents.
@Ripley Ok, we get it, you personally think it's boring. I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish here. Do you honestly think any NASCAR fans are gonna read your comments and say "Wow, he's right, now I also think NASCAR is boring. I'm so glad my eyes were opened to the truth."
13 likes@YELLOW TITAN Well a lot actually do admit to it. And on the opposite side of the coin there's you guys who think it's entertaining and try to convince others that it's not just left turns. Who exactly are you trying to convince?
5 likes@Ripley I personally don't think it's that entertaining, but I remember absolutely LOVING it as a kid. I would sit and watch for hours. I just loved cars, speed, and the idea of racing in general. Passing was definitely exciting for me. I kept up with which drivers I wanted to win, and the rivalries and whatnot. On paper, it's not much more than left turns most of the time, but it doesn't have to be entertaining on paper. A lot of the times, it's just inexplicably exciting for people, and they all have their own reasons. It makes more sense for them to try and share that excitement with others, rather than someone trying to share their negative thoughts and ruin the mood.
8 likes@Ripley if it's any consolation, I think football is just dudes throwing a ball around, and occasionally kicking it, and soccer is just kicking a ball around.

It doesn’t mean that automatically nobody else likes the sport and that no one else is allowed to like NASCAR just because you don’t like it. I seriously don’t even get what you’re even doing on this video.

@Ripley I should of clarified with my comment, I meant that sports in general are enjoyed by the majority of people, my bad. Also it’s fine that you don’t like nascar but you are indeed going on a crusade on how much you hate the sport. I just don’t like hearing that my passion being ridiculed because “it’s just left turns.” A lot of people I know don’t like nascar but they don’t rub it in my face about how awful and boring it is to them. I’m sure you don’t like the thing you enjoy the most being shat on.
4 likes@Daniel Curtis I never knew Nascar fans were such fragile children. No, this is not a "crusade". I am not rubbing anything in anyone's face. The OP commented about how the sport was much more than left turns, and I pointed out that this is factually inaccurate. Someone pointing out facts, and criticizing your boring sport, doesn't mean I am on a crusade. Apparently anything but utter praise, is considered going on a crusade, and rubbing it in your face. I never knew how delicate Nascar fans are.
3 likesCrashing each other for victories isn’t impressive, in F1 people love how far people will go for the overtake without crashing the opponent nascar is just demolition derby in an oval disguised as racing, stock car racing can be great, (in Australia it’s fantastic) but nascar is so boring even when they do crash,

I could show you onboard footage of group b rally and you would still say "ehh pretty boring, it's not very entertaining. I guess if you were the person driving than maybe".

1 like@Ripley Except how entertaining something is strongly correlated to how many people partake in something. Also, "Logical fallacy I win you lose" in itself is a logical fallacy.
0 likesYour analogy doesn't work because people don't take meth for the health benefits. Instead, they do it for a high and dopamine boost. Another reason is that it is addicting. If I were to say "Meth must give a very strong high/meth must be addicting because look at how many people take it to get high/get addicted, that would not be a logical fallacy. That would be inductive reasoning. In the same way, considering "watching sports" is a form of "entertainment", if a lot of people are watching the sport, by induction the sport is probably entertaining.
What isn't sound reasoning, however, is reducing the other argument to one that couldn't possibly win, and then saying "logical fallacy" like it proves you right. That is, in itself, fallacious reasoning.
@Dizastermaster Lots of words, but you aren't actually saying much. Yes, saying "Lots of people watch it, therefore it is X" is a logical fallacy. You imply that there is not only a correlation, but that the subjective views of viewers result in an objective outcome.
1 likeIf I say "Lots of people go to view tha mona lisa, therefore it is a good painting", not only would I be making a logical fallacy, but I would be taking the subjective views and opinions of said people, and using them to make and objective statement. Try to keep up.

The event is entertainment, not necessarily the sport, the event simply revolves around the sport. There is a difference. Logically.

Every racer would have their own vendetta in the end and would get into a NASCAR feud. Whether its just something minor or a true personal story a vendetta is caused it shows he we as people would see our selves destroying each other over something personal.
In the end no one is a true winners except for the ones who show others who's boss with little to no consequence.
When In doubt it is what it is but you can always strike back on the person who has caused your fuse to go off but you do it out of your own instinct without a care and enjoy your reward
No matter if it makes you lose everything gain something or have nothing to lose we all have are meanings of revenge no matter who we are.

As an open-wheel and sportscar racing fan, which usually have pretty clean racing, I can't get my head around how NASCAR drivers are constantly punting each other at walls, especially considering that they usually drive at an average speed of around 180mph on faster ovals.

Well, that and the fact that he's a NASCAR Cup Series champion.

11 likes@Jeff K mfw you call him a felon for doing once what Logano does on a daily basis
5 likesMatt Kenseth was the whole reason I started watching NASCAR in about 2009. Vickers, Gordon and Joey was not some of my favorites to say the least. But when Kenseth, Edwards, JR, Stewart and others retired honestly I feel some of the sport died with it. They was already struggling with the races being just flat out boring but at least they had drivers with personality
0 likesVickers reminds me of this ol’ boy I used to race🏎 in the 80’s on the local 1/4 mile dirt track. He couldn’t race for shit, but hit everyone else trying to get to the front. He was eventually sent into the fence and flipped. When he got out of the car, he calmly walked away and never raced again. I saw him a few times in the stands, watching his son race(he did a helluva lot better than his daddy😂). He died in ‘06 with one big send off.

0 likesLast segment forgot: Logano's spotter audio of "still there, Still There, STILL THERE...Crunch", as Joey hadn't passed Kenseth's racing line just like Logano hadn't cleared Morgan Shepard taking him out few races earlier. When passing car on given racing line, you gotta clear both or you'll get the "Crunch" every time!! Nazicar suspended Kenseth? But 5 seasons later Logano surprised what he could see with borrowed glasses, so before couldn't see sht! Found out too late!

Not much of a rule buff, what rules conflict with purposefully wrecking someone?
1 like@Overly Aggressive Machine Explicitly? None. But the unwritten rule is that you can’t be the biggest douchebag in the world when doing so. Think Carl Edwards dumping Keselowski at Atlanta, Keselowski could have easily died In that crash. Or Kyle Busch wrecking Ron Hornaday and eliminating him from a season-long points battle despite having nothing to gain or having lost anything but the lead. Those are punishable offenses. If it’s anything else? Boys have at it
22 likes@Overly Aggressive Machine there is rules against doing that and you will get parked and suspended
4 likesThey used to fine drivers for intentionally wrecking other cars. About 10-15 years ago they had this "have at it" attitude seeing as the cars were much safer than before. Their thoughts were that when someone got wrecked, that driver would retaliate sometime in the coming weeks and it would even the score. This attitude is mostly in effect today with some rare cases of drivers getting a fine.
9 likes@DL 14 didn’t keslowski hit edwards in to the catch fence earlier that season and edwards did that as retaliation or am I confusing events?
3 likes@imtheprofessor It was the previous season at Talladega, but still, Carl probably knew about the fact that the wings made cars blow over, so maybe he shouldn’t have spun Brad there and then. Had Keselowski landed a few inches to the right, he wouldn’t be here today.

11 likesalso pls explain how nascar engineers have to be more creative to extract more perfomance out of their car and how is it different from f1 engineers innovating and finding new ways to improve aero and finding gray areas in the rulebooks.
8 likesif you understand both then you should understand that throwing money at it until its fast doesnt work that well in f1, ferrari has had the highest budget since like forever and they have only produced 2 cars worthy of a half championship fight since 2014
8 likes@username then why are you trying to argue :p if you cant bother to explain then you shouldnt be here in the first place, its like saying that one thing is superior to the other while providing 0 actual arguments as to why
7 likes@username "F1 teams are allowed to do pretty much what ever they want with only few rules to follow" that is simply wrong, every f1 part has a full page of rules as well, although its not as limiting and it does allow innovation. and considering taht they are innovating, f1 rules have to keep up., unlike nascar, which specifies what you can use, f1 limits what you cant use.

1 likeAnd sone arent explicitly against the rules
@username You are still wrong. Nascar engineers do not have to be smarter, they have to be better at rule mitigation. They do not create the best of the best possible, they do not fight nature, they fight man made rules. And thats why they behave a lot more like lawyers rather than true engineers. Loopholes can be fixed, patched, and abused, but natures forces cannot. They are constantly working against everything no matter what you do.
5 likes@username how do you even know what school is? Man the backwoods are finally opening their pre-ks
1 like@username Your description by nature implies that F1 engineers are smarter than NASCAR engineers. If every part is so intricately defined in the NASCAR rulebook, then the NASCAR engineers have less work and require less wit (in terms of construction). In race strategy, both require wit. It's not like F1 race strategists/performance engineers don't need to do anything once the car is constructed.
0 likes@username okay, like basically NASCAR engineers have to find loopholes in the rules.

0 likes@I_trigger_liberalsoh wow a letter's off what a catastrophe.
0 likesAnyways, you literally don't understand what is engineering. NASCAR is a spec series. All the engineering is done for the teams, teams hire technicians to put things together and skirt around the rules. That's not engineering. Engineering is the development of bespoke parts. It's development.
@DJVision difference being that flexi-wings are bespoke parts rather than hacked spec parts.
0 likes@Miguel Laurito yeah, but Nascar is a spec series and F1 is not. Both sides were trying to gain an aerodynamic advantage that wouldn't be detected by racing officials. Both sides had to show ingenuity and elite engineering skills to achieve what they were trying to.
0 likes@I_trigger_liberals spec means that parts are done to a specification by the Factory, aka they're not developed by the team.
0 likesI literally am an engineering student don't try to be the smartass.
@I_trigger_liberals bro, nascar throws money at their rules too. Per cylinder carb balancing is extremely expensive and provides very little horsepower increase, but every team was doing it.
0 likes@Just a random techpriest mate nascar is just a road car with a spoiler and stickers
0 likes@aaebs ss b what, exactly, about a rule set designed to take the budget of race teams out of the equation in the sake of fairness, is dumb? NASCAR has never been about pushing bleeding edge tech, all the cars are nearly identical with the only advantage you can gain as a race team how you set up the car and the strategy you use over the course of a race. NASCAR rule set is designed to make the racing be less about the cars themselves and more about the drivers and overall strategy, and although it can be quite boring to watch for some, it's far more competitive a sport than most people are willing to admit

0 likesA "where are they now?" for the drivers involved:
876 likesTony Stewart: Tony would go on to race until 2016 when he would retire. He races local dirt races and began his own racing series, the SRX, which was a relative success this past summer. He is the co-owner of championship-winning team Stewart-Haas Racing, which won the 4th race of the season at Phoenix. In 2022 he was a guest analyst for NASCAR on Fox the LA Clash and Daytona 500. In 2014 Tony Stewart was competing in a dirt race in upstate New York. Stewart bumped into a driver named Kevin Ward Jr., causing him to wreck and the caution to come out. Ward, displeased, exited his car and went into the way of traffic to show his displeasure with Stewart. Ward was hit and died. (I would recommend you read into this if you're interested, as the situation is very complex and I want to keep this at least somewhat brief.)
Brian Vickers: Vickers would retire from full-time competition in 2012 due to blood clotting issues. He would go part-time for a few years, scoring a win at New Hampshire in 2013. He would marry a woman named Sarah Kellen. Kellen, under the alias Sarah Kensington, was one of Jeffery Epstein's "recruiters" who was heavily involved in trafficking and "coaching" young minors. She is under investigation by the FBI.
Robby Gordon: Robby would leave NASCAR in the early 2010s, creating his own racing series, Stadium Supertrucks
Michael Waltrip: Michael Waltrip's team would shut down in 2015 due to his team controversially spinning out to affect the "Chase." He currently works as an analyst for NASCAR on Fox and is a commentator for FS1's coverage of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Kurt Busch: Kurt Busch would win the 2004 Nextel Cup Series championship. He would jump teams every few years due to controversies, until getting to Stewart-Haas racing. He would win the Daytona 500 in 2017 and go to Chip Ganassi Racing in 2019. In 2021 his postseason started abysmally and was eliminated in the first round. He finished 11th in the standings for the final season of Chip Ganassi Racing's NASCAR team. In 2021 he was signed to drive for Michael Jordan's team, 23XI alongside Bubba Wallace for 2022. In the 2022 Daytona 500 Kurt found himself consistently around the trouble, but usually able to evade it unscathed. After race 13 he sits 18th in points after a bumpy season where much like his team owner, he cannot quite catch a break. Despite this he won the 13th round at Kansas to lock himself into the playoffs.
Jimmy Spencer: Spencer would leave the Speed Channel in 2013 and disappear from public life until July of 2021 where he appeared on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s podcast, The Dale Jr. Download.
Kyle Busch: Kyle Busch is currently a 2-time NASCAR champion, winning the 2015 and 2019 championships. He has taken the record for most wins in all 3 NASCAR series having a combined 215 wins in all 3 series. In 2021 he ran a solid season despite his 2020 slump, finishing 9th in points and nearly advancing to the final round after a chaotic cutoff race at Martinsville. In the 2022 Daytona 500 he scored a 6th place finish after recovering from a hard crash early. After race 13 he sits 3rd after having a turbulent but solid start to the season and a chaotic win at the Bristol Dirt Race.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Dale Jr. would retire in 2017 due to concussions. In 2018 he became an NBC commentator. He is a car owner in the lower NASCAR series, owning Jr. Motorsports. He also runs a podcast, the Dale Jr. Download.
Denny Hamlin: Denny Hamlin created his own team alongside Michael Jordan, 23XI in 2021 with driver Bubba Wallace. In 2021 he only had 2 wins but was radically consistent throughout the whole season leading the points for 24 weeks straight. He finished 3rd in the standings. In 2022 he failed to finish the Daytona 500 after being caught in a wreck. Hamlin sits an abysmal 21st in points following an awful start to the season. Despite this, he won the 6th round at Richmond after a late pit call. This has been the only bright spot of an otherwise abysmal year where he can't seem to catch a break.
Chase Elliott: Chase Elliott would go on to win the 2020 Cup Series championship. He had 2 wins and finished 4th in the 2021 standings. He has become a driver with a reputation for his skill in road courses. In the Daytona 500, Elliott stayed quiet but finished a solid 10th following a chaotic finish. After the 13th race of the season, he sits as the leader in points after a solid start to the season and one win.
Jeff Gordon: Jeff Gordon would retire after the 2015 season. He became a NASCAR on Fox commentator. This year he announced he would leave Fox to take an administrative role at Hendrick Motorsports, his old team.
Clint Bowyer: Bowyer retired after the 2020 season and became a NASCAR on Fox commentator alongside none other than Jeff Gordon.
Matt Kenseth: Kenseth retired in 2017 from Joe Gibbs Racing. The next year he would return as a fill-in driver for Roush Racing, his original team. In 2020 after the controversy caused driver Kyle Larson to be suspended for the season Kenseth would fill in for the rest of the season. He has stated that will be his final ride, but some do not believe that. He races local late model races in Wisconsin. In 2022 Matt was a guest analyst at Auto Club Speedway's race, and phoned up Joey Logano from the booth during the race, acknowledging the old animosity.
Joey Logano: Joey Logano went on to win the 2018 Cup Series Championship in a massive upset over Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and Kevin Harvick. In 2021 he has won only one race in a fluke at the Bristol Dirt Race, having many rough wrecks including his car flipping over at Talladega. He made a deep postseason run despite this and finished 8th in the standings. In 2022 he won the Busch Light Clash at the LA Coliseum but failed to finish the Daytona 500 following a wreck. After Darlington he broke a 40 race winless streak by slamming William Byron into the wall with 2 to go, outraging fans yet again.

@Pica hudsonia unflocked Hi, race fan of all sorts for about 20 years and NASCAR fan since 2006. The Tony Stewart/Kevin Ward situation is a controversial and toxic as hell inside the racing community. You've got some fans that have taken Tony Stewart's side and believe that what occurred was mostly a tragic accident. It is worth noting that following the Kevin Ward incident Stewart would go winless for years, before finally scoring one last victory in his final season in 2016. Others, most notably, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (Think of it sort of like the NASCAR equivalent to AA Baseball. Career Semi-Professionals and young kids race in this series.) Driver Stewart Friesen has been a very vocal critic of Tony Stewart not just of the incident but as a person in general. What's worth noting here is that Friesen is married to Tony Stewart's ex-girlfriend. So the drama of this incident is still very much talked about a lot in racing circles today.

The description of the situation at Kansas isn't really accurate and most of the commentary over this part is really unfair and bias

0 likesExcellent video. Though I think your characterization of Joey Logano while accurate, lacks context. Joey Logano was pushed around and poked in the ribs constantly (notably by Ryan Newman and Kevin Harvick) until he snapped and started punching back twice as hard. He didn't start dumping people until he had had enough. Old timers set the rules, he just started playing by them better than they did.

Jeff had already won four titles and a shit pile of wins at that point in his career, and winning a title would've drastically changed Clint's life. It still just rubs me the wrong way that someone like Gordon would do that to someone like Bowyer.

452 likesI grew up with Nascar in the house. My dad was a huge fan and roped me and my brother into it from an early age. We all had our favorite drivers and my dad was happy to gift us with hats, TV shirts and toys. I never really understood everything that was going on but my dad let me know who the heroes and villains were on the track. Once I was old enough to realize I didn't actually have much interest in Nascar I stopped watching it. But your videos on it have been incredibly nostalgic and even emotional for me. They bring me back to my childhood. Watching my dad jump up and down screaming at the TV, the big Daytona 500 days (my dad would throw a big party together, only day of the year he did this) and playing Nascar Thunder for the GameCube with my brother.
I know you probably wont read this comment but thank you for making these. Every single video you make is a homerun but these hit different for me. I'll never forget the day my dad told me he had given up on Nascar. Even though I hadn't watched in years and didn't have much interest anymore, it filled me with a deep sadness. I realized that chapter of my life was over.
These videos reminded me of all this and I started talking about Nascar to my dad again. In a way, your Nascar videos helped strengthen my relationship with him again. So thank you. Keep up the good work man.

0 likesThese NASCAR videos are such a trip. When I was a kid I would go to my grandparents ranch for a few weeks over the summer. It was in inland empire California, 30 minutes from a gas station type place. My grandpa was retired and worked on cars all day (former baja driver). The TV in the house, the barn, and the shop would always be on the race. If there was no race, he had a good 30 years worth of races taped on VHS. with the temperature WELL into triple digits everyday, I became very familiar with the sport and learned there's more to racing than "just turning left" These videos evoke a weird nostalgia because I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I will always be up to watch one.

The problem is Joey does the same thing to others all the time and they manage to not spin him out. Could Joey have prevented this, absolutely. But he choose not too. Did he do it intentionally? I mean he didn't come out and say that, but based off his comments he come just short of saying it. Saying "He ran me hard and I ran him hard back. That’s the type of driver I am and the type of racer I’m gonna be, and it just comes to that point sometimes (and) unfortunately those things happen.” Problem is Joey had no reason to race him that way. Yes he was going for the win, but he didn't need the win. He had 5 laps to work his way around Matt. You don't just straight dump a guy because you can't get around him.
0 likesI kind of respect Hamlin dumping Elliot and sticking it the the NASCAR royalty, although Elliot is a good driver, NASCAR does have a huge nepotism issue where the children of famous drivers are guaranteed spots on the track because of their parents.

It's absolutely disgusting, but from a 'only winning matters' view, that's how you do it. This strategy is a no brainer.

1 likeNascar, one memory I have involves it.
0 likesI came home one night shit-faced-drunk after working in a bar and having one too many with co-workers.
My flatmate is sitting on the couch watching television and I ask him: whats-up?
He says to me: just sit down Im watching NASCAR, if you havent seen this ever, its the most retarded racing sport around.
So Im like, allright I'll grab another cold one and have a gander.
I dont remember exactly what round they where in, but it was in the last 10 rounds for sure.
So my flatmate goes, just watch, theyve been driving like this for the past whatever rounds (they where driving in a massive pack of cars) and at the end theyre gonna crash and anyone below Rank 34 is gonna probably finish first.
So we ridicule the "sport" a bit more and lo-and-behold, in one of the last rounds a massive crash happens at the front and I believe the number 41,42 or 43 came up ahead.
Had a nice laugh.

i'm a car nut -- current F1 fan, but grew up watching a lot of DTM and some rally. Never got into NASCAR because they weren't anything like the stock cars they were painted to resemble. I appreciate the close racing, I find the rivalries entertaining -- but something about the actual vehicles just keeps me from watching. Any chance they move towards homologating road cars?

53 likesWe have a theory on why he didn't stop. Back then, the top 35 rule was enforced, meaning that the top 35 individual team numbers would immediately qualify for races no matter how slow they went. Any team below the top 35 in team points would have to qualify faster than the rest of the slowest (and faster than those with provisionals) to make the races.
the #10 charter was sitting at 36th in this regard. the team needed only a handful of points to pass the #36 in points and make the top-35. With only a few laps remaining, the 10 needed only a few laps to pass the #36 (which was already out of the race), so Reutimann attempted to keep going. Unfortunately for him, his equipment failed, and therefore the 10 had to race as a "go-or-go-homer" (a team that needs to qualify on speed) at the following race

0 likesI was at the race in Phoenix where Jeff Gordon wrecked Clint Boyer. Me and my dad camped at PIR for years when I was younger because it was like Marti-gras. That was one of the most eventful years of Nascar for me for a variety of reasons. After a long race that climax was amazing. Everyone around us was so angry you could feel it in the air. I had been a Jeff Gordon fan most of my youth since about 2001. To me it was like seeing him resurrected as the ultimate villain like when he was younger. The pit crews brawling was icing on the cake, that's movie material.

1 like@Nextralife That's very common for any big name when they are accused of something. Any major company or high profile individual, no matter if what happened was their fault or not, will settle with suing families out of court. It makes it so that the ongoing case does not hang over their head and eat at their reputation. Morally questionable? Sure, but the fact that it's common, plus the fact that anyone who climbs out of their car into the racing line in a dark firesuit on a dark track while high as a kite is just asking to get hit really makes it difficult to say that Tony ran them over on purpose.
3 likes@Nextralife to be fair civil court is often a sham. Less about right and wrong and more about getting pubic opinion to flay your enemy. You can be completely innocent and lose in civil court because they like the other guy better. Plus I am sure most people would feel some guilt about killing someone even in accident right or wrong.

It's not though, I'd say the same about F1 too, but there is more to racing than crashes. Each motorsport has it's reasons for watching. You just don't understand the reason why Nascar is interesting. How would you feel if a Nascar fan told you that your motorsport was boring because they didn't understand it? You'd probably be slightly offended.

hey pls help me i never watched a nascarrace since im from europe and its not shown on free tv in my country. i want to know is crashing on purpose allowed in nascar? because in other racing series for example formula 1 it would be a penalty for the driver (championshippoints and or money or maybe even a lifetime ban if the accident was lifethreatning). PS if you are a bad driver and dont do it on purpose but are rated too dangerous they can just revoke your license. there is even a own court for racing incidents run by the FIA

He pinched his entire rear end into the wall, and you could see his car hopping along to the opposite side.

Yeah. F1 cars cant take as much of a beating and are way faster resulting in accidents being much easier to cause and much more dangerous.
0 likesStock cars in Nascar are generally more typical cars over the high end engineering of F1, and can take way more of a beating. As a result hitting eachother is legal allowing stuff like this.

"and one thing you can't do is just beat and bang with people"
Dale Earnhardt Sr. would like to know your location.
This video is also why now whenever I watch a race, I keep my eye on Logano and pray he ends up crashing or blowing an engine or whatever it takes to keep him from winning any stages or the race. I desperately want to see him fail. Am I a horrible person? Depends on your views. I don't hope for him to be hurt (lets be honest, nowadays unless you hit the wall at 210, do 50 end over end flips, fly out of the track, and the car explodes, there's little chance of a crash killing someone), just to lose and lose a lot.

1 like@Biggy Iron I’m talking about an actual race not this video, you can’t call NASCAR boring without actually watching a race.
7 likes@Daniel Curtis haha. This video has some of the most interesting moments in all of NASCAR. If an actual race were more interesting than this video I'd take the kids to see circuits the whole season!
1 like@Daniel Curtis I watched NASCAR when it aired over here and I fucking hated it. The assessment is accurate, it's just circles and the occasional street circuit the drivers stumble through poorly. I'd rather watch V8 Supercars, which is saying something because they're shit too.
1 like@Kahne 94595 it's a shame you assume I'm ignorant of the sport. Knowing all the technicalities doesn't make it any more interesting to me. I never called them hillbillies and I never said they're not respectable.
0 likes@Kuma you have no clue how much NASCAR I've watched. So keep on lying to yourself
0 likes@Kahne 94595 you’re projecting with the hillbillies statement, I understand that it’s a slight commonly associated with the sport and how it can be disrespectful to fans but it wasn’t mentioned in the thread. I think a reason for the decline of nascar is the fact that the average person will have no frame of reference when watching because as you said they don’t know how hard it is to drive one of the cars. That’s not really their fault though the barrier for entry is insane, the cost of the vehicles means even if I wanted to the closest experience I could get to driving in nascar is go-carts. The reason these videos are so interesting, at least for me, is that it focuses solely on the stories that are generated from the sport instead of the sport. I doubt I’ll ever go out of my way to watch nascar, mainly because of my interest in rocket league. In my opinion the game is the best esport ever made and I doubt I’ll ever get tired of both playing and watching it. These videos have given me enough knowledge to respect fans of nascar but I still don’t want to watch it, kinda like golfing.
0 likes2015 wasn't that long ago. Just this weekend a fight with teammates got so heated one of the drivers was almost benched.
0 likes@Marshall Gaming ok I get your point but why were you ripping on nascar though if you know how it works. Yeah it’s been losing popularity but you attributed it to being cars going in a circle, not the slowly declining fan base and management by the sanctioning body.
0 likes@Kahne 94595 I never said it was declining due to the cars driving in a circle, isn’t that untrue anyway? In the video there are multiple tracks that aren’t just ovals. I’ve only been to one nascar race when I was very young, I didn’t enjoy it because it was really loud and the smell of burnt rubber was too strong. Honestly I’ll look into it and see if there’s another race near me, I’ll give it another go now that I know more.

In F1, the most blatant piece of payback driving, and possibly the most dangerous was Ayrton Senna ramming Alain Prost out of the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix to win the championship that year. Bearing in mind the intensity of the rivalry between them, coupled with Prost controversially colliding with Senna at the same track a year before, in 1989, to secure the championship for himself, Senna's revenge was multiplied several times in its intent and how dangerous it was.
0 likesIf Senna wanted to race Prost cleanly, he would have stood on the brakes before the first corner of the race, once Prost took the lead. Instead, not only was there a lack of smoke from his front tyres, but he clearly took aim to force Prost out of the race immediately. This is precisely what happened. Senna's car crashed into Prost's, knocking off the rear wing of Prost's car and the front wing of Senna's, sending them both into the runoff area at over 150 MPH, thus risking not only both their lives, but also the trackside marshalls and spectators. Despite Senna being wrongly penalised in 1989, it was astonishing that he faced not sanctions from the governing body after his reckless move in Japan in 1990

1 likeAlso you act like Logano had no reason for racing at Kansas. He was going for 4 straight wins. A win is a win would you go for the win if you had the fastest car?! Hell yeah I would!! Matt Kenseth fault for the Kansas incident. He could have let Logano go.

That's why they have flaps all over them that you see popping up when they spin. They're designed to keep the car on the ground as best they can. Compared to cars flying into and over the catch fence at the end of the aero wars in the late '80s and '90s, it's a dramatic improvement.

0 likesWe know why Reutimann stayed on the track. If he finishes the race, he in in the top 35 in points and gets to start the next race at Texas no matter how bad he may qualify. If he doesn't finish the race, which he didn't, he ends up in 37th and has to qualify for the next race. Sponsor money for the team was on the line. The error was the top two stayed on the track. Since everyone else was coming in, there was no reason for Johnson and Gordon not to pit. I remember screaming at the television about how stupid it was to stay out. Just because the announcers of the day didn't know what Reutimann was doing was no reason for the rest of the world not to know it they wanted to. Most of the time that is the way it is. The announcers don't understand and the sheep follow with no thought of finding out for themselves. We are in a world controlled by the masters and most just follow and anyone who doesn't follow the crowd is an enemy of the state. 1984 is alive and well.

The team owners definitely don't like drivers wrecking million-dollar cars in NASCAR either, and the sanctioning body has made a great many rules changes to try and maintain some of the bumping and spinning, while punishing major crashes and pileups. The hard part is both defining one versus the other, and trying to identify an intentional hit versus an accident.

2 likes@Ricky thanks. I’ll take that as a compliment (honestly can’t tell if that was sarcasm😬), but I was very quiet in school. I wasn’t that kid who sat in the back of the class and never spoke to anyone. I also wasn’t a social butterfly either. I was also the kid who could sit at any lunch table, and go mostly unnoticed. Whilst simultaneously listening to all the drama, and typical high school banter. I opened up more towards the final years of high school, but I still enjoyed my quiet time. I keep my circle of friends small, and have avoided being used by others. I use to hear people talking very badly about their “friends” at lunch. Then later in the day see them hanging out like it’s all fine. I never understood that, so it took me longer to make friends. So the ones I have are loyal to the bone. I still talk regularly with all my high school friends, and picked up a few more in college. I’d rather be by myself than surround myself with a bunch of fakes.

0 likesIf you're wondering what happened to each driver in this video, let me do a rundown:
1 likeTony Stewart: Like EmpLemon pointed out he would go on to win the 2011 championship beating Carl Edwards on a tiebreaker because he had more wins. In 2012 he would score 3 wins and finish 9th in the standings, he would get 2 more wins in his career, in Dover in 2013 and Sonoma again in 2016 before retiring that year, now he owns a 4 car team and just recently started a racing series called SRX on CBS.
Brian Vickers: After the 2011 season, his team Red Bull Racing would shut down and would drive for Michael Waltrip Racing, he would score a win at Loudon in 2013 but ultimately his career would be cursed with blood clots. Ironically he would also retire in 2016 driving for Tony Stewart. Unfortunately, that's not the end, it turns out Vicker's wife was working with epstein and as of this comment, it's still under investigation.
Robby Gordon: Robby Gordon would not win a single race for his single-car (sometimes two-car) team despite jumping from Chevrolet to Ford to Dodge to Toyota and back to Dodge, he would make his final start in NASCAR in 2012 before ultimately shutting his team down. He would then start his own racing league called the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks where he has won a couple of championships.
Michael Waltrip: Just like Robby Gordon he would not win a single race for his team, as a driver at least, they would win a total of 7 races, but his team was very controversial, in the 2007 Daytona 500 his car was held up in tech inspection because there was an unknown substance in the intake manifold, it would turn out to be an oxidizing agent that would give his car more horsepower, then there was Spingate where his driver, Clint Bowyer, intentionally spun out so his teammate Martin Truex, Jr. into the chase at Dover in 2013. They would ultimately shut down after 2015 and now he works at Fox Sports.
Jimmy Spencer: Like EmpLemon mentioned Jimmy Spencer would find work on the now discontinued Speed Channel right up until 2012. I couldn't find anything of what happened to Jimmy Spencer after that. In an interview on the Dale Jr Download a few months after this video was uploaded, Jimmy Spencer said he didn't really punch Kurt, but gave him a slap.
Kurt Busch: After his 2004 championship Kurt Busch would still drive for Roush Racing in the 97 until the 3rd to last race of 2005 after a DUI and a suspension from NASCAR, He would replace the now retiring Rusty Wallace in the 2 Miller Lite Dodge and later the 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge for Team Penske where he would score 8 wins before leaving the team after 2011. He would then have the worst year of his career in 2012 driving for Phoenix Racing, a backmarker team has only 1 win to his credit. He would then join Furniture Row Racing in 2013 where his career would see a bit of a turn around despite not winning for the team, in 2014 he was picked up by Tony Stewart to drive his 4th car, the 41 Haas Chevrolet where in his 6th start for the team, he would win at martinsville, he raced for Chip Ganassi Racingfrom 2019 to 2021 and has had 3 wins for the organization, he would join 23XI Racing in the 45 Toyota in 2022.
Kyle Busch: After 2008, Kyle Busch would have a very successful run with Joe Gibbs Racing with two championships in 2015 and 2019, from 2008 to as of this comment, Kyle Busch has scored 54 wins for Joe Gibbs Racing and has yet to have a winless season since his rookie season in 2005. Safe to say he'll still be around for a while.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: He would eventually break his winless streak in Michigan in 2012, he wouldn't score another win until the 2014 Daytona 500 and 3 more that season, 2015 would see him score 3 more wins and could've easily won the championship in each season, but that would be the last time Dale Earnhardt, Jr. would ever see victory lane in the cup series, due to a series of concussions throughout his career, he would retire in 2017 and would take up as a colored commentator on NBC and team owner of his Xfinity Series team JR Motorsports alongside his sister Kelley.
Denny Hamlin: To this day, Denny Hamlin has yet to win a championship. in 2018 he would go winless and there were rumors that he would be let go after 2019, those rumors disappeared after he won 15 races from 2019 to 2021, will he ever win a championship? We'll have to find out.
Chase Elliott: in 2018 at Sonoma, Chase Elliott would eventually get his first career win in the re-numbered 9 car, and would score 2 more wins that season. In 2019 he would score another 3 and would miss the final 4. 2020 would see him score his first-ever championship with 5 wins including the last 2 races of the season, in 2021 he would only win 2 races and finish 4th in the standings and pretty much played second fiddle to teammate and eventual champion Kyle Larson.
Jeff Gordon: Jeff Gordon would score a single win in 2013 as well as 3 more in 2014, finishing 6th in both seasons. He would get his final career win in 2015 at Martinsville, same race Matt Kenseth wrecked Joey Logano in the thumbnail, and would finish 3rd that season. He would come back in a few races in 2016 substituting for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. but would fully retire after that, he now works at Hendrick Motorsports and was picked by Rick Hendrick to take over Hendrick Motorsports after Rick retires. Ending his career with 93 wins, 4 championships, and the keys to the kingdom.
Clint Bowyer: like EmpLemon said, Bowyer would never come close to winning a championship, as a matter of fact, he wouldn't see victory lane until 2018 driving for Tony Stewart at Martinsville, he would win again that season at Michigan but that would be the end of his winning days, he retired in 2020 and is a colored commentator on Fox.
Matt Kenseth: In 2016, Matt Kenseth would score only 2 wins but would finish a strong 5th in the standings, 2017 would be his last season driving for Joe Gibbs Racing scoring one final victory in that same Phoenix race Chase wrecked Denny Hamlin in as he would be replaced by up and coming star Erik Jones. In 2018 he would reunite with Roush Fenway Racing in the 6 car driving part-time. He wouldn't race in 2019, but in 2020 after The Kyle Larson incident on iRacing (I'll let you google what that is) he was tasked to race the 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing, but his time there was less than stellar, to say the least. He would call it a career after that.
Joey Logano: In 2016, Joey Logano scored 3 wins and finished 2nd to Jimmie Johnson in the standings. It would be far worse in 2017 as he had a win taken away due to a tech inspection violation and would miss the playoffs altogether. In 2018, he made a comeback scoring his first-ever championship, all of his other seasons afterward see him finishing in the top 5 in the standings. Still racing in the 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford for Team Penske.
Pretty sure this is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining vids this race fan has ever watched. I have followed 6 different series that take place in the US, Australia, and Europe over the years. No racing moment has ever been as gratifying as watching the ever stoic Kenseth pancake Logano into the outside wall, which is somewhat pathetic, but that was a great day for almost all Nascar viewers. I don’t think anyone saw that coming.

0 likes1:30 Perfect quote for this: For non-Americans: this is (partly) why NASCAR is more popular than F1 in the US. We like violence. You can't really crash into each other - or even accidentally scrape, for that matter - in F1 because of how fragile and exposed the car is. With NASCAR's bigger roadcar-like cars, we can watch more violence without feeling guilty about taking joy from people getting seriously injured or killed. Yes, a lot of the times the crashes and incidents are potentially fatal, but there are still generally more "action" that is far less life threatening than in F1. Not to mention, drivers usually aren't gonna want to to do something that can potentially kill them, and so NASCAR drivers are for more likely to to do road rage or drive recklessly and/or far more aggressively than F1

Usually the only things that can get you slammed with a huge penalty are major technical violations (messing with Tires, Fuel, Engine) and egregious team orders (Spingate). The cars nowadays are so safe that drivers can handle issues between themselves, as seen here.
1 likeA good example occurred In one of the lower series races, when Noah Gragson backed up into another driver’s pit box during that driver’s stop and while there was a fight, no penalties came out of it.
To be fair, there was one incident where Dale Jr cursed in an interview and was fined $10,000 and penalized 10 points (which possibly cost him the championship if I remember correctly), and the fans hated it. The culture is just that much different.

Anyone who thinks that racing revenge is normal, need a maturity check.
0 likesTheres a long ago history of it, but where all other series grew up and stopped, Nascar didnt.
In F1 or any real international series, or any small national series like Nascar, if you intentionally hit, wreck or damage anyone elses car, or even bumped someone as a means to pass them ... all the way down to throwing your helmet or punching your fined, sanctioned via banned for a race or more, and basically vilified by the sanctioning body, the teams, fans and media. "I just tried to move him out of the way" is not only not a defence, its either an admission of an inability to pass properly, or ego that thinks that putting him in the wall is a workable option.
This kind of behaviour, and any childish inability to control yourself in a professional forum just shows you cant operate like an adult.
Any fan that prefers this kind of crap, are childish neanderthals that need to mix WWE and racing, to see any value.
There is a very good reason Nascar drivers dont leave to higher series internationally, they just aren't wanted.

NASCAR has tried promoting a bunch of generated 'drama' in recent years, and the similarity to wrestling kayfabe has been noted by a lot of fans. Bumping and wrecking is a part of stock-car racing and there's no getting around that. Similarly, series like IndyCar and F1 have their own personalities that play into the racing series itself, and creates some sense of drama. But NASCAR exaggerating and promoting it so much rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

0 likesNASCAR should amend their playoff:
0 likesAfter 26 races, the top 32 drivers in points advance to the playoff, with their points reset to zero. All other Cup drivers are eliminated from any further racing that season.
After the first three playoff races, the top 24 drivers, based only on points earned in the first three playoff races advance, with their point totals reset to zero, while the 29th through 32nd place drivers are eliminated from any further racing that season.
After the sixth playoff race, the top 24 drivers in points during playoff races 4 through 6 advance, and their points get reset to zero. The 25th through 28th place drivers in the standings are eliminated from any further racing that year.
After the ninth playoff race, the top 20 drivers in points during races seven through 9 advance to the final race, while the 21st through 24th place drivers are eliminated from competing in the final race.
For the final race, only the top 20 drivers in points earned from races 7 to 9 compete.
Previous points are tossed out, and the winner of that final race is NASCAR champion.
The idea is that in order to win the. Championship, you must not only make the playoff, but compete well enough to get into the finale, and win that final race.
I forgot how much I used to hate the Busch brothers lmao
1 likeThoroughly enjoyed this however completely disagree with your take on Logano. In my opinion he was routinely hit by the Toyota team drivers as a group season long. Your prior nominees like Hamlin and Kyle Busch sorta prove my point, they give some else receives. This repeated action would make any driver sour so I’m not surprisedJoey did not cut anyone any slack. Him hitting Kenneth was just a racing deal for the lead, not payback and it does matter if he was already locked in as a win is a win. But Kenneth blatant wreck back of Joey was one of the worst I ever saw. A 2 race penalty at the end of the season was meaningless. They should have put Joey into the next stage and hit Kenneth with a penalty that no other driver in a car dozens of laps down only out there for revenge would ever ever do it again. It may have been popular with the fans but is not the kind of excitement the sport needs.

Because even if you get #2 in line, #3's going to have a gigantic run on you.

0 likesWe live in a moment in time that is strangely introspective. We could continue a legacy of traditionally American legends and values that inherently inspire hope through pure dedication and athleticism, or we can attribute this video to being a historic representation of a dying culture before its interest is finally extinguished.
0 likesMy take. I've never cared about NASCAR. Until Emps videos... They made me recognize that this is a sport like any other at the national level. It's a shame to see such a societal shift away from something with such intriguing history.
That being said I've only learned about the sport in these videos, so really... what do I know?

0 likesDavid Ruetiman was in a fight for the top 35, which at that time meant q guaranteed starting position, and if I remember correctly, he was a few laps shy of passing someone that would put him 35th for the next race. That fight was about as intense around that time as the championship, so teams would get desperate.

0 likesWe have a local rally championship where I live. Back in the 2010s pretty much every year this driver would wreck the leader to take the win (not cool). Final year of the 2010s and at pretty much every single corner he got shunted off the racing line by the driver behind him (usually someone he'd wrecked). There were some occasions when a driver had a clear pass on him, but hung back to shunt him at the next corner. Turns out the entire field had drawn an agreement to split all prize money awarded between anyone who made contact with this driver during the final race. The previous years wrecked driver even put 10k of his own money into the pool to anyone who was able to wreck him and cost him the race. This dude is literally the most chilled out dude ever, so it was amazing when he was the one who wrecked this guy XD

A big factor that makes a difference is that given the designs of the cars, the tracks and the safety devices in the cars the governing bodies of nascar have done a lot more to try and make the sport less fatal and have imposed major financial penalties on things in the sport that make it more dangerous. While yes nascar has had very fatal incidents it’s governing body has tried to do a lot to make it as safe as possible with obvious knowledge that there are some things no one will walk away from.
2 likesWith football one of the biggest problems that exists is a major reluctance in the governing body of the sport to actively add newer performance enhancing substances to the list of banned steroids even if they likely cause even greater harm to the athlete. And they show very little signs of wanting to ban the kinds of play that actively lead to major head and neck injuries and concussions.
Shortly after Dale died when nascar forced the adoption of head and neck restraints by all drivers and teams and began adding safr barriers to the tracks a lot of the older fans complained they were pussifying NASCAR. really the same complaints being made about the nfl being pressured by fans to lower injuries are the same backlash NASCAR got for implementing safety measures against the loudest fans wishes.
Hell emp even mentioned in his never ever on dale that part of the dwindling fandom of nascar may be related to how people don’t want to watch it as much because they are less likely to see someone die, live on tv.
Anyways the football too dangerous thing. Nascar had the same thing in the Early 2000s and the backlash against making it safer is echoed by the backlash against making football safer. Today
the difference is nascar had the guts to say our drivers are more important to keep alive than appeasing a few fans that want a bloodsport
