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.


"He is perhaps best known for finishing the '07 Daytona 500 upside-down"

Something about the incredibly deadpan delivery of that ridiculous sentence killed me.


I started laughing so hard when you said “they get to turn right” my dad was looking at me weird and I had to explain to him


That roar from the crowd when Kenseth exited his car after putting Logano into the wall. 🔥


“Where is he? I’m gettin’ his ass.” <br>This is probably my favorite Jeff Gordon quote. It perfectly embodies what happens when you piss him off. Absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic presentation pal. Very high quality content and professional commentary. 👏🏻


that was a fantastic video, the script and the edit well done


what a great fucking video man, felt like a movie. almost brought me to tears


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.

Yeah on one hand these advance high tech cars with these athletic guy on the other some fat guys acting like a 4 year old wrecking each other

@Tyroker Taylor172 it sounds like a man getting high of his toxicicity

@Canis Dirus racing is expensive what do u expect

seems to me that Nascar is wrestling with cars.

Unrelated question. Fav f1 driver?<br>Mines Sebastian

Unrelated question. Fav f1 driver?
Mines Sebastian

And back in reality land, Sly told Dolph to fight for real. One punch put Sly in hospital for three days.

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.

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.

@GloomGaiGar Most notably Senna and Prost in Japan 1990.

F1 also has its own fair share of revenge stories, to be fair. F1 had somewhat humble beginnings too.

@Benjai And then utterly selling out, first to corporations and then to PC culture.

NASCAR is the embodiment of ‘Murica. Making moonshine and dodging the tax man with go fast.


great video you're editing is amazing. keep em coming sir


This has been in my recommendations for almost 4 months and finally gave it a try today. Nice video


"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


3:18 this is by far the funniest commentary on a crash I’ve ever heard


The Gordon vs Bowyer feud was like watching when the leader of the chess team fought with the lone male cheerleader in school. <br>It was nothing but entertainment.

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.


I had a feeling Matt's story was gonna turn into the classic "quiet kid that snapped" story

@largol33t1 what was even more sickening most of the time he just got caught in other peoples shit that he had nothing to do with

Him and Steve Park were my favorite drivers.

At that point Pumped up Kicks began playing rent free in Matt's head as he prepared to take out Joey

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” <br>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 did not expect this guy to have such good music taste with a nascar video. great vid


This is a fucking amazing video. I don't even watch NASCAR but I'm going to strongly consider it next season.


The way your videos are built is amazing!!!


Emp is slowly turning into a NASCAR youtuber

You love to see it

he made one racing video in more than one year he isnt becoming a nascar youtuber

Turning? He was always a nascar fan, you can see that even in his ytps.

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.

@Buynot That'd be cool, but we also need a collab between Slap and nascarman history. I'd say he's absolutely on par with Emp and Slap at least.

@SpinosaurusStudios I mean do you know any other channel like this who has made a single nascar vid?

theres only been 2 nascar videos on this channel lol

A collab between EmpLemon and S1apSh0es is all but inevitable now.


31:00

It makes perfect sense to take out future competition even when you are locked in for the next bracket.

Gamesmanship


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<br>computers are not made to do mistakes, get emotional and get into trouble like humans do

You can make something so dull as nascar sound interesting. Kudos.


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


I am convinced Emp is single handedly reviving people's love for Nascar

@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.

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...

@Ethan  im not, thats the point of my comment is that i am not a fan of nascar but emplemon can make it interesting

@Bill Cipher I never knew a demon capable of weridmageddon is a fan of nascar.

The Jomboy effect North American motorsports needs!

Him and Slapshoes, yeah. In the Car of Tomorrow age, NASCAR is a narrative sport, like a 170MPH soap opera. Emps and Slap both <b>excel</b> at spinning narrative thread from old footage and statistics.

Despite loving cars and most motorsports my whole life i never cared about nascar until emplemon covered it so you'rr right

As a 20+ year fan of the sport who has unfortunately watched it's long slow decline in popularity, I hope you're right!

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


"They say that revenge is a dish best served cold."

But it can be reheated in the microwave of evil!!


Nice, well produced and informative video. Thanks.


Dude whatever it takes for more nascar videos, you make everything interesting but I already loved nascar lol.


Robby Gordon's revenge on Michael Waltrip was so well executed. Goddamn legend.


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.


I can really respect Matt Kenseth just a smooth and Clean racer although it might not be fun to watch it sure is a good strategy


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!


The writing, the editing, the plays on words. Absolutely fucking perfect. Excellent video. Absolute top notch.


Joey Logano: The spoiled-rotten popular kid.
Matt Kenseth: The quiet kid.

Joey Logano: The spoiled-rotten popular kid.
Matt Kenseth: *The quiet kid.*

@Daniel Mallory No. Famous is a neutral adjective that stands for "well known", so it can be either for good or for bad

@ZikaLoko F1Challenge no famous implys good infamous implys bad popular has no condentation

@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

@k k I think that the best word would be famous, since you can be famous for either good or bad reasons

Joey was the kid with the Pumped up Kicks.......... and he did not outrun Kenseth's gun

@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 Oh Joey was hella popular, just infamously so

except joey was never popular, just spoiled rich kid


Never been a fan of Nascar. Never wanted to watch a single piece of media about it. So, why am I watching this?

This was awesome. Great story, captivating and engaging. Really brought these drivers to life.

I didn't know who Matt Kenseth was before this, now he's a legend.


"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...

_"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...


Matt Kenseth was my favorite driver since as early as I can remember. Man has class


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.


Kenseth story is honestly amazing. The most chill guy finally taking revenge on the bully.

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

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 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.


Not even a nascar fan but this was such a great video i might actually start watching races 🥲


Dude this was amazing.  I really enjoyed this video.


What a great video essay with a profound conclusion. Great document. Thanks.


I look forward to part two featuring Kevin Harvick & Joey Logano.


By far one of the best documentaries on the internet!


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.


29:07
I like Brads Replies as he always makes it funny


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


Damn man I don't even watch racing and this was pure GOLD


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


You sir are hero we need and do not deserve. <br>You actually made me sit through a 40 minute video about NASCAR. 🥺👉👈

You sir are hero we need and do not deserve.

Matt kenseth was far and wide my favorite driver. Miss watching him in the 17


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.

@thejust ofit cheap tactics have always been used in nascar the best drivers have used tactics in races

@RamenTV winning with cheap tactics < winning with honor

@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.

@Aaa EEE Cars driving in circles for hours AND CRASHING EACH OTHER TO PIECES

@Aaa EEE ...damn was I supposed to be offended???

@Alexandre Santos I mean I do and so do thousands of others

Jokes on u Logano won a championship later on

But he got his championship a little bit later

A true lover of the sport. A hero. Someone who knows injustice when he sees it.


I don't even watch NASCAR but this is too good of a quality content 👌 And I'm now Kenseth's fan.


Woah, I haven't heard that Battle Revolution song in years! I should give that OST a listen one of these days. Great video!


Great video! I've no idea about Nascar, but still watched it all the way through.


EmpLemon could make a video called the "Deep meaning behind 2 Girls 1 Cup" and would still watch it

And peeps in the YT comment section could reply to you on why they think it is.

Franklin Brooks stopped commenting on PS Vita

Is this a real thing 😳 when does it come out?

@Drew Insur my bad, didn't notice the comment at first. Still, there's nothing like watching the og video and experiencing how he makes sense of it all.

Check out what Patrice O'Neil has said on the matter on O&A

#therewillneverbeanothervideolike2girls1cup

I'm up for it

2 girls 1 cup is about up lifting self esteem on knowing even if those 2 little Brazilians looks to cute for you you can always imagine that they may shit on cup. Now you have the right approach lmao just kidding

@Blue Lunala Fuck, that actually sounds interesting as fuck, what makes that rock founded at the park so special compared to other rocks found at the park?

I would watch it unironically, but it probably exists already and I’m eating shit here.

i never saw that video, isn't it eradicated off the web?

What are you trying to say about NASCAR, the greatest sport to ever grace this unworthy planet

pretty sure if something with that title popped up in our recommended we’d all watch it. A better example would be “There will never ever be a rock like this one i found at the park”

Lemon Party: Secret Origin, and I would be there day 1

You know... That does sound pretty interesting tho

your face reminds me when I stepped on a burrito 3

‘There will never be another video like 2 girls 1 cup’

I can see it now

"The Complex Reality behind It's Raining Tacos."

We need to make this a reality for the memes


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.<br>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.

Watched this video a lot of timesand I can confirm this video is Pure Art


How could you leave out the Carl Edwards and Brad Kez———— feud from this special? They had one of the more exciting tit for tats in recent history.


I'm not really into Nascar, but honestly I like hearing you talk about the sport.


This video made me realize I'd be into Nascar if it had battle music.


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!


Awsome video very detailed and fun watched it all!

I just rewatches this and this man makes me hype for something i barely knew about 30 min ago


I have no care about nascar but the intro was so perfect im already in love with this video, this feels like an episode of the twilight zone


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 <br>Love the nostalgia as much as the video!

I ended up on this stream through a Youtube rabbit hole. I don't care about Nascar.<br>And yet. I watched the whole thing. Good job on 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.

@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.

@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.

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.

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.


I've watched this, like most of your videos, several times and damned if I don't love the Denny Hamlin transition EVERY time I watch this video.


im not a nascar fan but watched all of this. awesome content.


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


the shot of the crowd after Logano wrecks is amazing


“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”


There will never be another YouTuber like EmpLemon


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.


Matt Kenseth is the most wholesome Nascar driver, change my mind


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


I know nothing about NASCAR but I really enjoyed this video, great job!!!


I don't even watch NASCAR, but I watched this entire video and learned a lot about racing and the culture within the sport. Very well done!


The real tragedy is the abuse inflicted on all those vehicles- all they want was to go fast ;(


I laughed when the solution to fixing a totaled car was to have several guys railing on it with hammers.

Sometimes you just gotta hit it to make it work

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.

Just a bunch of engineers getting a sentry gun upgraded.

Round here we call that "Kinetic Maintenance"

Hahaha have you seen the ausies fixing their rally car by smashing the part on a rock hahahaha


8:13 I don't know why but that part always crack me up. Maybe it's from the monotone voice that it's given to the statement.


I remember as a kid I was really into Nascar but for some reason I stopped watching slowly. This video just got me back into ti


"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"


The way Joey is described in this video is about as dead on accurate as it gets.


That robbie gordon radiator boop was phenomenal. Absolutely devastating with basically no effort.

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.

@Gamer's Holy Army and on what’s probably the cheapest part of his car since the bumper cover is just fiberglass

And with relatively little damage to his own car as well.


Happy 1 year anniversary to this masterpiece


Dude you need to do another nascar revenge video like this but it's called payback instead lol


What I got as someone who has no connection to the sport: NASCAR is a drama, you just have to put the spotlight in the right places lol


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


Matt Kenseth just became the protagonist and I love it

@Jeff K mfw you call him a felon for doing once what Logano does on a daily basis

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.

@Samuel McCarter all that only made seeing him get taken out feel much better lmao

Meh the villain is far more interesting to see race (he's also the superior driver)


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


16:23 starts the coolest fucking transition sequence I've ever seen. The music is perfect.


Not a huge fan of NASCAR, but damn what a well made and enjoyable video 🤘🏼 wicked job mate


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.


Dang I have never watched NASCAR in my whole life and I'm already such a huge fan of Kenseth after this lmao


Love the Mike Mozart reference at the end :) brings back memories


Thanks for the best NASCAR video ever. Great work


I've just watched again, still a damn good video.


Emp Lemon did more to make NASCAR popular then NASCAR did in the last 5 years

@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.

@theJman But if u look at the viewer rates it says the 2018 season was the worst and it goes up a little bit since 2019 right?

@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.

@theJman It stopped declining in viewers since like 2019

That feeling when EmpLemon is so entertaining that he makes a bunch of guys driving in circles enjoyable to watch.


The one time Matt Kenseth decides to screw someone over and it's the one racer people hate the most. The dude knows how to choose his enemies.


Loved this video man, not often that anyone highlights Dale Jr getting revenge on people.


This might be the most beautifully crafted video of all time.


Honestly, Matt Kenseth was overall a pretty aggressive driver on the track. Incredibly kind person, but he wasn't the cleanest racer.


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🤯


I don’t care about NASCAR but I love listening to Emp’s articulate commentary for 33 minutes!

The real question is, why don't you care?

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 have never related to YouTube comment more in my life

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


Bowyer and Gordon: crashes in the wall
Kenseth: what the hell did i do 👁👄👁

Bowyer and Gordon: *crashes in the wall*
Kenseth: what the hell did i do 👁👄👁


Gawd I had forgotten about robby gordon.  how the hell did he ever make it to cup level.  Ricky Bobby in the flesh


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.


This is what entertains me while watching some of these NASCAR races.


"Drivers so idiotic it makes us question who decided to give them a license"<br>Yes sir I too have heard of Pennsylvania

"Drivers so idiotic it makes us question who decided to give them a license"
Yes sir I too have heard of Pennsylvania

I too have also heard of Pennsylvania for no reason but this

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.

Gimme a break, everyone knows driving into California is like steppin' onto the set of Mad Max.

@Gabriel Warren California drivers anywhere is pain

@Knockrotter California drivers in washington is pain

Have you heard of Brampton, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

@Kael M if you're talking about new Jersey ikr, but here in philly we are like the most responsible drivers ever

@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.

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).

As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I have never related to a comment so hard as this one

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

@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.

Pennsylvania has the worst drivers in America

@SaltpeterTaffy everything in oregon has gone down recently

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.

@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.

Pennsylvania: "Well I have the worst drivers"
(???): "Amateurs."
Pennsylvania: "What was that, PUNK?"
Florida with snowbirds on I-75: "AMATEURS."

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.

Ohio.  I worked a construction site there, and stayed at a hotel 2 miles away.  Every single week, I saw someone wreck on the highway.

@Metallix Northern Indiana isn’t too bad.

As a Pennsylvania resident I can confirm this.

@Biggy Iron slam on the breaks. lol. No we like to step on that gas man.

@Sharply Dressed Rabbit, living and driving here is a fucking death wish

Illinois, Nevada, Wisconsin, and New Jersey all speak on behalf of Pennsylvania.

@Gnomezonbacon isn't that a good thing though? I'd rather be driving behind a grandma than someone who likes to slam on the breaks

Yeah, I've been to [insert state/city you hate here].

@ThatOneGuy Boston drivers: AMATEURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

The state of Washington will give Pennsylvania a run for its money


that was great please keep doing documentaries


And sometimes we run into other drivers which makes us ask: "Did their mother had any children who lived????"


8:01 that sounds more like a life accomplishment to brag about, if I were Kurt I would tell everyone about that


I swear, these videos just make me wanna rewind t ime and become a Nascar driver :D


Matt Kenseth was really like “my disappointment is non existent, and my day was not ruined”

@Blaster Master From his radio immediately after the wreck, Kenseth & his crew said that it "looked as if he had a tire going down" lmao

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.


"Motorsports feature the most talented drivers in the world" Right as i crash into the safety car in F1 2021.


don't know much about Nascar racing, but the Youtube gods recommended this gem of a video. Loved it to the end. Thank you


this youtube video should be on TV man. EXCELLENT! no joke, this needs to be televised this is great entertainment for Nascar fans


"Tony Stewart had been sent to the shadow realm" A man of culture I see

Hello Tony, Super GT here. And welcome to R4M


I never really watched NASCAR growing up but I wasn’t expecting this video to be so interesting.


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.<br>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.

Emp is the only dude that can amass a mil on YT with no upload schedule at this point


A nearly 40 minute video about Nascar that had no boring parts. Good job sir.


Watching Matt putt Joey into that wall put the biggest smile on my face.

@M A Why would Harvick do the same thing to Elliott?  Wouldn't it be the other way around?

Harvicks about to do the same thing to Elliott

Oh believe me! I don’t like Joey either because he’s a spoiled driver on the track who wants everything his way... but he also complains a lot...

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.


I can't believe you didn't mention that time the track dryer driver made fun of Montoya's mom so Juan took him out under caution.


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.


I don't even watch Nacar and this was an entertaining video to watch. Good job.


I love how its AFTER the commercial they showed the wrecked car as if implying it was set up that way.


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.


I don’t even watch NASCAR but this video is fascinating I absolutely love it


i just finished my first Sonoma race in nascar 15, that coarse is tuff


Not only was this video entertaining as hell, but captivating and well produced.  Amazing job sir. Thumbs up and a subscription earned.


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.


imagine getting to be the last person Dale Sr ever flipped off. I'd wear that as a badge of honor

@Gl 1100 Whatever man lets bygones be bygones

@Gl 1100 while you might have a point there, i bet that comment of yours has a malice snide. probably even close to clout-chasing.

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


watched 1 minute of this video and I subscribed. this is gonna be entertaining!


I ain’t watch nascar or anything to do with it. But watched this vid and I think this deserves more likes. Great work and good doc. Thank you


The "Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining." quote was made for people just like Lagano.


Dude your 100 ways to die in nascar were awesome.

Dude I watched your channel every day in the 2010s

Love your Ways to Die in NASCAR vids dude!

Holy shit its TNTMan93<br>this dude made some CLASSIC goldenera youtube stuff

Holy shit its TNTMan93
this dude made some CLASSIC goldenera youtube stuff


Sooo...anyone here after Logano decided to wreck Byron?


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.


Kyle Busch was a real wheelman . He won everything everywhere


18:30 Well, yeah. His dad's the only driver to win the most popular driver award more than Junior.


I remember being at Martinsville when Joey got dumpstered. The audience was cheering so loud it was crazy.

that’s awesome. must’ve been a great experience (unless ur a logano fan lol)


Tony Stewart was like the Heel of NASCAR for so long. Fun to watch though. Apart from that one time.


7:00 dude just got brake-checked into totalling his race car lmao


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


Matt Kenseth was the hero we needed but didn’t deserve.

@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.

@haomavarga "and guess who was also  ultimately righteous in their fight?"

Me.

@Aquired _ its weird to see youtube arguments get resolved remotely maturely

Damn this feels weird. This argument shoulda went for another 100 more replies

@Michael Sanchez-Fouchécourt Nah its alright. I should've worded it better.

@haomavarga oh damn my bad I thought you were saying hitler fought for a righteous cause

@Lando 530 No I mean Joeys fight was more righteous than Hitler's

@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...?

@Michael Sanchez-Fouchécourt neo Nazi? Why do you think I am a neo Nazi?

@NoWayAroundIt my relationship with all of my relatives is fantastic, what doy you mean?

@haomavarga Your mother did nothing wrong disowning you.

@haomavarga go ask for attention from your parents maybe it'll help

@haomavarga ayyy we got ourselves a little neonazi over here

never heard this used in a more true sense. lol

@Diogo Oliveira and guess who was also  ultimately righteous in their fight?

@haomavarga Funny, people also say that about Hitler


You forgot the part about Matt Kenseth when he put Logano in the wall twice at Kansas and brake-checked him at Talladega.


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


Great video until someone got salty about Logano's success at such a young age lol<br>Joey is a better driver than crybaby matt ever was lmao

Great video until someone got salty about Logano's success at such a young age lol
Joey is a better driver than crybaby matt ever was lmao


Nascar sounds like a really peaceful and friendly competitive workplace and absolutely not a motorsport fueled by classic american road rage

@Sus Slushy. I only like bmx racing so I don't have much of an opinion

Mhh this is just a selection of those parts or the sport. I figure we could find stuff like it in many sports

@Ellie Bro the whole watches futbol except the us . Everyone loves futbol that is why it is called the beautiful game .

@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

@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.

@va vroom To be fair, all of those sports except maybe football are dying

@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.

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

That’s how I see it! There’s never any crashes or angry drivers and the racing is always super clean.


Never knew Nascar could actually be fun. God damn


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.


NASCAR is a lot more like WWE than I thought. Makes sense considering the target audiences of both.

Logano's the Manny Machado of Nascar. He deserves all he gets. :)


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!


Weren't you the guy who did ytps? This is super well done. Glad you're making more content


I dont even like nascar that much but I watched this whole video and it was great


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.

Dude is one of the GOAT content creators.

The best route a youtuber can take is not focusing on a specific topic for your videos

Facts dude. He makes every topic he covers interesting as fuck

And the best thing is, you know whatever he makes a video on, it's always going to be amazing.


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.<br> 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.  <br>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!


EmpLemon and internet historian are one of the youtubers that can make a video talking about anything and ill watch it.


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


the sheer audacity of brakechecking someone <i>in a Nascar race</i>

the sheer audacity of brakechecking someone _in a Nascar race_


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.


It’s crazy how fast your arguments can end when your adversary is passing you in a car at 180 mph


I never knew there was so much personal drama in NASCAR, I appreciate learning about it


I'll put another coin into the "Joey Logano is a dirty driver" jar after Darlington


Kyle Busch number one all time at giving number one sign language at drivers as they pass by.


I don’t even like nascar but this was amazing


You're probably the only dude who can make me excited to learn about nascar history

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."

I don't particularly enjoy nascar but I still binged the entirety of slapshoed channel. Check it out. Its pretty good


I love it when Kurt Busch crashes, he's in a sport he shouldn't be in!!


this whole video should be played to people before starting a race on iracing but even more so the part around 34:18


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.

AMERICAN ENGINEERING.  Worked then, works now.

When I was racing, we called that a 'jalopy tune-up'.

“I destroyed the car, to repair the car”

@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.

@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".

Did you forget that the cars are made of metal

I swear the guy at the back who briefly ducks down is just swinging an aluminum bat

If it worked for Engineer and his Sentries, why not here too?

@Finnish Fatman NASCAR is at their end now due to this stupid playoff format.

@Omega157 hi Omega157. How are you today?

Ngl, I'm mostly an F1 fan, but that clip alone makes me want to watch more Nascar

i went scrolling to the comments to see if someone pointed this out i was dying laughing

That's how I repair my Jeep. Isn't it kinda how you should be repairing cars that come from US? 😅

@Lohya thanks for sharing I had a rough week and this made me cry laughing


The most NASCAR I’ve ever seen is of from your 2 videos. Excellent!


No heck no this was a very entertaining video man I hope you the very best you know this just gained my subscription


I was a huge fan of Kenseth back when he was with Roush. Dude was unbelievably chill lol


2:10 that's some impressive synchronisation


I honestly had no idea you could intentionally drive dirty and not be penalized with all the other rules they have in place

@theJman wonder how that will work out in the long run. Seems like it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt

@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.

@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?

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.

@Overly Aggressive Machine there is rules against doing that and you will get parked and suspended

@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

Not much of a rule buff, what rules conflict with purposefully wrecking someone?


“Jeff Gordon is a god he can give and he can take away” apparently not a merciful one at that…


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.<br>Edit: Thank you all for the likes. I didn't expect this many from you guys.

I don't even watch NASCAR and now I'm.a Matt Kenseth fan.


Last one was for sure my favorite one. Nice vid!!


the problem is rewarding unclean races!! if you change the rules, the driving will change.


Bruh, Joey Logano still does the same thing 10 years later, look what he did at Darlington this year.


I remember watching that race and cheering when he got put into the wall


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<br>Nascar: LEEEEROOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY

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

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

@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

@Just a random techpriest mate nascar is just a road car with a spoiler and stickers

@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.

@I_trigger_liberals spec means that parts are done to a specification by the Factory, aka they're not developed by the team.

I literally am an engineering student don't try to be the smartass.

@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.

@DJVision difference being that flexi-wings are bespoke parts rather than hacked spec parts.

@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.

@I_trigger_liberals what? Someone doesn't understand how rules work I'm either Nascar or F1 lmao

@I_trigger_liberals F1 has a shit ton of rules to follow bro. Don’t end up over generalizing one Motorsport because you prefer the other one.

@Xavier Ancarno this season is something else trust me

@Bearical you're right, last time I watched a F1 race was in 2009. I find Nascar much more interesting... And I'm European 😂

F1 pit stop: computer calculated refueling, quantum balanced wrench

Nascar pit stop, gravitation refueling, hammer

@I_trigger_liberals f1 rule book is like 700 pages lmao

@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.

@username okay, like basically NASCAR engineers have to find loopholes in the rules.

@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 how do you even know what school is? Man the backwoods are finally opening their pre-ks

@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.

@R.I.P.GRB and the cheats utilize very impressive technologies the bendy window impressive<br>And sone arent explicitly against the rules

@R.I.P.GRB and the cheats utilize very impressive technologies the bendy window impressive
And sone arent explicitly against the rules

@R.I.P.GRB well many technologies developed for NASCAR are used by the military

@username So you're saying coming up with cheats is more creative than developing new technologies that sometimes end up in road cars? Okayge man...

@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 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

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

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.

@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.

@username f1 has more rules then you think, also, a budget cap is in place.

Stick with the plan! Stick with the plan!


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


never watched or bothered to learn about Nascar before this video. Very interesting!


19:45 32:40 best moments, the songs were on point


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.

Legano life will not long enough if he keep doing that

Thanks for a awesome short wrap up. Makes the footage even better.

@DeemZ it was last week in Kansas. Hadn't gotten around to updating.

Kurt's won again in 22, I believe it was in Dover

Well Logano pulled a Logano this weekend and wrecked Byron for the win.

"Updating every few weeks as the 2022 season continues."<br>Wow! That's dedication!

"Updating every few weeks as the 2022 season continues."
Wow! That's dedication!

Thank you for this trivia and your dedication!

@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.

@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!

@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.

*cuz total NASCAR (+all sports) noob

Damn, Gordon retired SEVEN years ago already?

@Jordan Fires Indeed he has. Best driver ever. Only driver to win on dirt and a .25 mile track since 1972

Logano has also just won the first next gen race, with KB a close 2nd

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.

@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.

@Sonny well Dale never could have his revenge

The only villain that won was Kyle bustch

@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.

lol tony stewart killed a guy but let's just ignore that

This needs more likes, and maybe an updated version


The crowd gets Dame hitting a game winner hype when Kenseth dumps Logano


I've never been interested in Nascar but God dam ur videos made me a fan


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


i couldn't give a damn about nascar but you made me watch a 40 min video on it. Good job.


OH SHIT a second EmpLemon video related to NASCAR.

Good shit

@Emmett Christenson indeed, now PAY YOUR “CRITICIZING A FORMER CT GOVERNOR” TAX! That’ll be $15,000. Welcome to CT

@Emmett Christenson not as bad as Corzine

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


2 minutes in and I’m grabbing my packet of crisps, we’ll done sir you got me hooked


I liked Matt Kenseth he was a good driver and always raced clean


This was a fascinating and fantastically made video


Very entertaining but as a european I have one question : how is all this even permitted lol ?<br>Well I guess that's part of what makes nascar entertaining

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 part where Kenseth dumps Logano is so satisfying, especially after you explained why Logano is hated by everyone

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's a shame that in almost all competition, the guy who just wants to play is overshadowed by loud drama queens regardless of accomplishment.


The GT license test music brings back misery and pain it’s one of my favorite games but damn those tests


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.


Literally one of the best videos I've ever watched


"Drivers like Robby Gordon are nonexistent in the sport today"

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.: THINK AGAIN BUDDY


I have no interest in NASCAR but honestly this is cool af


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.


I love nascar, took my sister on a first date to a race!


Today is a good day
1. EmpLemon uploads
2. Its about NASCAR


"He was the driver to boldly go where no other driver had gone before..."

Because nascar hadnt let a big baby take the wheel before!


I wish racing events had a cage fight every so often afterwards to sort shit out. Racing should be a man's sport and men can fight.


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...

i recommend you follow iceberk and Black Flags, dudes know make great stories about NASCAR


Great video!
Good choice of music, fitting commentary, nice editing <3

But wtf was that ad read at the end? xD xD


You see, Nascar isn't just cars driving around in circles.

The pettiness of the crashes and drama is what makes this sport.

@Josh Jarnagin Bruh, what I said was a reference to another video from this guy. Calm down.

@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

@Dillon Delaney mate forgot a few rights

@Kvapilnation i see you everywhere i go brad


This is one of the best videos on youtube.


This is what's making Nascar the WWE of car racing.


Your storytelling made me care about something I give zero darns about.


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.


I'm only surprised there's no Brad Keselowski/Carl Edwards revenge story. That one is pretty famous.

Could have titled it "Brad Keselowski Wins This Race"


"His biggest highlight is being the last guy Dale Earnhardt flipped off" 😔


As someone who knows nothing about NASCAR my take away from this is that The Ballad of Rick Bobby was more of a documentary then I thought...


the mario kart music playing in the background the whole time makes this all that much better


I am just 10 minutes in and interested in watching these races on an old TV which partially took place before I even lived (I was born in 2002)


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.

That was a good story thanks for sharing that with us!! May God bless you and all your family and keep you safe! Amen

Ur dad was probably screaming at the ‘07 Daytona 500 finish


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.


this is one of the best youtube videos ive seen in a while


I’m a Logano fan and still love the last one


never looked into or cared much about nascar but nice video :)


"The problem when taking from someone when you have nothing to gain, is that one day that person may wind up with nothing to lose."

I'm gonna put that on my wall


Robby Gordon was the best thing to happen to modern nascar. Like all other primetime sports nascar has put the profits ahead of the sport itself.


13:33 is that actually how they fix the car on track? It looks straight out of a cartoon 😂


As a Kenseth fan, Martinsville 2015 was legendary

it was stupid and childish i lost a ton of respect for matt that day

The man's super chill from what I can see

Logano fan since I was 4. He deserved it, but it made him a better guy

Ah, the legendary Stig is a man of culture. Hopefully they can take you away from the cesspit of BBC and bring you to the Grand Tour lol.

I remember watching that race live.  My jaw was on the floor when that happened

As a Logano hater I can confirm it was legendary


Im a WRC and F1 fan, so all this is new to me, but love it


Dude, I’m not even a nascar fan and I watched the ENTIRE video


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😂


Kurt Busch being the last person Dale Earnhardt flipped off is simultaneously hilarious and sad as hell


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.


So what I learned from this video is that nascar isn’t about being a good driver but it’s about crashing into people and playing it off as a mistake


the "funny" bit at the end that served as a commercial was a funny as watching a snail dry under the sun...<br>BUT, I actually didn't see the 35 minutes of rivalry disappear from my clock... so, all in all, awesome job !! :)

damn, to be the last man Dale ever flipped off.


I didnt expect to hear TF2's Art Of War here, but its epic.


Im not even into Nascar, and this was super entertaining


Playing the Mario kart music is just perfect 🤣


Only emplemon can make me care about — nay, LOVE nascar

@Mr Beegle the last clip made me miss Jerry Nadeau.

@Mr Beegle You have no idea what you are talking about 😂

Why is it that every video I watch you watch

XD all of this ass pain over a simple comment. Might I recommend some preparation H?

@Manueltjuhh You could absolutely say that about me :)

@Mr Beegle Where did that come from? I can say the same about you if you commented on someone else on youtube, keyboard warrior.

@Manueltjuhh Lol why do you care what some random stranger on Youtube thinks about Nascar?

@Mr Beegle Nascar has avarage fans now, it isn't 1990 anymore mate, and it isn't boring if you know how it actually works.

Nascar has some interesting history, stock car racing is pretty cool

I HATE NASCAR with a passion, but Emp’s videos on it are very entertaining.

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.

Nascar is one good thing i watch motorsport

@Hieronymous Lex I love this reply like it in itself isn't fucking pretentious.

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

@Pancake that's a pretty casual viewer take, f1 still has incredible midfield battles and this year is absolutely going to be a fight for the title

@VER33🏎 fuck formula one post-2013, gt3 is so much more better.

Watch some races? 👉👈 They can be quite fun

@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.

Same here. I find Nascar to be incredibly boring and only loved by inbred drunk hillbillies. Love this dude's content.

Agree. I really don't care about Nascar until emplemon uploads again lmao


Very well done viddy yo Bro. Thanx for creating and sharing


“He’s just a hack (Chase Elliot)” - Denny Hamlin, probably


Wasn't expecting another NASCAR video. Exciting

I wasn't expecting a video that wasn't a rant video. Also exciting.


"Most accidents are just that.. accidents"
Shows the Kevin LePage incident

"Most accidents are just that.. accidents"
*Shows the Kevin LePage incident*


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 can’t convince me that NASCAR isn’t some magical realm where your ability to succeed is entirely decided by the uniqueness of your name

Emp is an artist with video essays and a poet with words.


Even in NASCAR games revenge is tense lmao


The Reutimann deal was about Danica, he takes that lap the 10 stays in the top 35 in points, he doesnt the 10 falls out


Reutimann stayed on the race track because the team needed one more point so the car could be locked for the next race and Danica could race


how can you even call this art of revenge? we are talking about people's life here. This is crime


Playing “The Art of War” during the Joey Logano vs Matt Kenseth part was a good move.


damn, music straight out of Rock 'n' Roll racing


32:26 and it was in that moment, Kenseth said to himself "fuck that kid", and everyone rejoiced


I love how you parodied the Mike Mozart Youtube videos with your Youtooz thing. I'd love a video on him if you ever want to do one!


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.

Try turning on NBC at some point, you might be surprised

Sorry to read about your Dad. Hopefully he'd be proud of you ❤

When ur 21 go to a Daytona 500 you’ll fall in love my friend

My Father went hhen i was 3 aswell. Stil have some memories of him but just a few. Stay strong man i know the pain.

I'm sure he'd be very proud of you hunter, all the best 👍

Godspeed and good luck in your future endeavors

@Baha Alfararjeh about you? Yeah we know.

@Bumba never said I did<br>It's just if it is true

@Bumba never said I did
It's just if it is true

@Nathwork like hell you do, you don't even know the person. All of these comments are just fake words, nobody can help you on the internet.

@rabid_1 how do you know? What if it's real? Then you just made fun of someone that lost their father

@King Kj it's a comment section you share stuff and he did, nobody asked you either

My grandpa almost died when I was about that age and he was a nascar fan. I remember back to when I was two so I would still remember him

That’s insane. My grandma worked at Sony and actually got to meet Ryan Newman and got a poster signed by him.

I am sorry about your dad and someday you will see him in heaven but enjoy life while you can. He is watching over you

This is sad (same to my mom but I had memories)

Am so sorry for that heres a cookie 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

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.

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

im in the same boat man. it's nice to get the glimpses of the things they enjoyed while they were here. i love hearing stories about my dad.

Yea you get it cause the lemon has it too, like your pop.

That’s cool man, my grandfather is a big fan and, while I didn’t lose him,  I feel the same way, it makes me realize what there is to like

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.

beautiful ❤ love to you buddy. youtube can be a beautiful place

This is honestly beautiful I’m so sorry that happened to you mate

As an non american, nascar seems to me a part of the american experience, especially of the 2000s...<br>Live and Rock. I offer one minute of solitude from my part to your Father.

Hunter, that was very moving, and with no irony or sarcasm, "thanks for sharing".


"It costs four hundred thousand dollars to sponsor a team, for one week."


i've never watched nascar in my entire life since i'm not american, but this was a good video.


Oh, i thought the guys ramming me of in iracing are just incapable, but apperently they are just wrecking with intention 😂


18:46 I remember: Chase Elliott got his first career Cup victory on my birthday (Aug 4) at Watkins Glen in 2018.


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.


Love this mate especially the shadow realm reference


the only guy who could make nascar interesting


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.


32:54 watching the whole crowd cheer as Logano gets taken out is one of the best moments in sports history

@Jeff K I’m so sorry you are so full of it that you can’t understand that Joey logano  is the exact opposite of a good nascar driver

@Saylem, just like the Hendrick and JGR boys

@Bastian Toledo Montero, you made it sound like that's a bad thing

@Bastian Toledo Montero, I'm so sorry you live this way

@Jeff K they aren't real race fans because they cared enough about the sport to have an emotional attachment to who won that season?

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.

@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.

People who cheered that on aren't real race fans.

Hearing the whole crowd cheer👏🏽, can't have those moments without a hero and a villain.

amen i never seen fans go nuts like that not even with gorden and clint


I know nothing. about Nascar but damn this video is enjoyable to watch. Thanks man


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.


I don't even like Nascar, but I've watched both your Nascar videos at least twice. Damn he's good


There is no comment more terrifying than "where is he, I'm getting his ass"

Especially from Jeff Gordon who typically does not show a lot of emotion.

"Playoffs" and "racing" should never be in the same sentence


Danica Patrick going into the wall, a true NASCAR classic.


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.


when matt pushed loano into the wall at martinsville, logano deserveved it


I love how there is a turning joke literally 2 minutes into the video lmao


“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


Matt really lived up to his name.

It's moments like that where NASCAR really feels like a game of Mario Kart player's mentalities. Revenge and justice.

@Your Average Guy This man has got it right

It’s like Burnout on Road Rage where you just get the satisfying revenge takedowns


Busch vs Spencer with the Respect Your Elders beat is so perfect


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
