Hendrick's T-Rex: Stumpfing The Competition
zhlédnutí 9KPřed rokem
NASCAR has a very long history of "innovators", dating back as far as the start of the sport itself. But, typically they required an awful lot of engineering know how that was beyond most of the garage area's capabilities even if they knew what was done to soup up the car. The 1997 winston all-star race winning T-rex car is an exception, however. Utilizing then-advanced aerodynamic theory and a...
Derrike Cope: The One Hit Wonder

Spanaway Washington's Derrike cope is synonymous with the Daytona 500, but is likewise synonymous with curiosity. It seems few even know his backstory, and while people acknowledge his 1990 Daytona 500 win as legitimate, few see him as nothing more than a fluke, who would've not won had earnhardt had a problem on the final lap. But, did the winner of the "Daytona 499" have any actual talent? Di...

@@mikaelbihl-matias9462 I never thought about it that way.. pretty apt example!
When you need to go to the bathroom
2001 was a tough year for Childress
In all fairness 1990 was the only season he had in equipment capable of winning. Whitcomb fell off and Bobby Allison Racing was never great although he did nearly win Phoenix for them. Bahari never won anything and MB2 wasn’t quite there yet.
@@mitchcolburn1216 That’s a very valid summary. Honestly I agree, and that’s why it was unfortunately the only real chance he had at getting more than 2 wins during a season. I wish Bob Whitcomb had more cash on hand, or at least bigger sponsorship deals even on short term.
One of my favorite drivers.
It's hard not to like him!
The career of Linus Lundqvist so far really reminds me of the early career of Paul Tracy. Let's see if his career turns out as memorable as Tracy's!
@@JOHANNESwhoelse I certainly hope so. The current indycar series is a very good package, but personalities will help sell it even more
He was also screwed by some guys. Apparently.
Ya, how did that work out
I'd say a pretty successful career all in.
The Coors Light 40 before that car was good. What race was this anyway
The 1997 Primestar 500 at Alanta. Same year that Mike skinner went full time for the first time in cup, I believe.
@ClumsyCardboard Yeah he did. Some nice looking cars that year. Interesting drivers too
@@TimberWolfer63 A true era of personalities, colourful paint schemes and characters
Teimo was cool before My Summer Car
Perhaps that was the real backstory to him all along! Haha. From group B champ, to store owner!
dw hated richmond because he knew how good tim was
DW, especially in recent years, came to appreciate the new fan base Tim brought into the sport.
I honestly think robby would of kicked tonys rear end
With all due respect to both, I also think Robby would have kicked his ass
I visit the cemetery where Tim is buried quite a bit in the summer months, i see his headstone more than just about anyone i'd say, i only say that bc it often reminds me to live life to the fullest, like Tim did. He was the real life Cole Trickle.
He really was. Truly an inspiration for similar reasons for me personally as well. Making the most of life is a very good sentiment to take away from all this
Why do you keep showing other peoples race cars while talking about Richmond? It just dont make sense. It would be very confusing to many people that isnt familiar with what they are looking at.
If I did only use Tim’s race cars and footage for every single segment, it would only be a handful of clips that would be repeated. To prevent that, and to add context of both his competition and the era he competed in, occasionally you would see other people’s races, cars, and individuals. It wasn’t perfect, especially given this was my second ever video project, but nonetheless something that thankfully hasn’t been as much of an issue going forward. Hopefully that makes sense.
The announcer is using passages from Tim's autobiograpy word for word
I didn’t even realize there was a autobiography, let alone read it. Do you know where I could buy a copy?
@@ClumsyCardboard Im sorry I meant biography - The book by David Poole. It was a really awesome and quick read.
@@phelpsmarc No problem! I’ll have a look and get a copy. Thanks for letting me know!
It had light front and heavy rear springs, got that wrong
Robby is a real racer, and wouldn’t conform like NASCAR requires its drivers to. NASCAR pushing people like Robby out is part of their own downfall.
And always did it his way.
Steve Park and Jerry Nadeau were my favorites as a kid. Not sure why. I fell out of NASCAR for about 7 years due to both those guys basically having career ending injuries. Both those guys got such a raw deal in life.
But they still put together some very memorable races and moments in spite of that.
Son of a bitch I loved your old man
i always thought he was kind of a scumbag having sex with women after knowing he had aids.
HERE COMES DOPE COPE
Interesting how Ken squire called him "the young man from spannaway washington" back in 1990, when he was 32. That's unheard of today, but was far more common back then.
So, just for future reference... The Ron Hornaday truck was owned by Earnhardt, NOT RCR
I had figured I might've fumbled that. Thank you for the correction!
Some Say …..Man when are they going to make another Nascar Movie? In my opinion NO ONE could EVER reproduce what we all witnessed with Days Of Thunder. A lot of people don’t know it but Tom Cruise is a huge NASCAR fan and was pushing for days of thunder to be made. He is really good friends with Rick Hendrick and can actually drive a Race Car pretty good. My dad use to tell me that the movie was about a real Driver and a real Pit Chief but i never knew if he was telling the truth or not. I was only 8 when that Movie was made but man was one of my favorites. I remember going to kings Dominion in Virginia and they had a Days of Thunder Attraction and i use to beg my dad to ride it over and over again. That Movie could Never be duplicate or re made. It would be ruined by todays Hollywood but thats just my opinion.
I could watch it a million times, never get tired of it. I also found out recently that the ice cream on pit road scene actually happened. I think it was between Harry Hyde and Geoff bodine back then, but I could be slightly misremembering
That Car was so damn Fast Nascar had to Ban it lol….. I will NEVER forget watching that Race with my Father. Utter Domination on that Night out of the 24 Team. That 24 Team and 48 Team became pretty Close with Nascar’s Car inspectors and Officials lol….. Thank you for all the Great Nascar History and Great Moments that will be memorialized for a Lifetime. 1 of the best channels on CZcams that covers Nascar 💪🏻
Thank you so much! That’s huge praise. I’m very glad I could bring such fond memories back. Yeah, it’s insane what can be thought up by just having a slightly different outside the box look at a car package. Right now I’m mostly just covering driver history, but I am considering doing another car tech/engineering type video just like this one very soon. I hope you stick around for that as well!
@@ClumsyCardboard We look forward to checking the next ones out. There are Tons of great cars that could be covered thats for sure. Keep up the Amazing Work💪🏻 us Nascar fans are eating them up
definition of a driver with Raw talent that never could take off and have success in NASCAR. Robby could dish it out but NEVER could take it back on the Race Track when Drivers Raced him hard and tough the exact way Robby Raced the entire field. I use to always tell my Dad Robby Gordon was always sticking his nose where it didn’t belong. Dale Jr said it best. He didn’t know what he was doing out on the race track. Racing and holding up the Field while racing with the lead pack while being a lap down. Thats the type of Racing i remember out of Robby Gordon. Always just in the way he was. He was not racing to win races for his race team. He was just out there to raise hell and create chaos. Jimmy Johnson said it best it was ALWAYS someone else’s fault and he was always crying up a river like he always does. Gordon was ALWAYS a Field Filler in my opinion
Spot on. I was a huge fan, but it always really bothered me that he could he never get out of his own way.
Has more career wins than either of you so hard to call him a field filler
@@RAID3R63 He was far from a field filler. In fact, he is one of my personal heroes. Ironically, so was Tony Stewart. So it was always an interesting experience to see those two fight it out to say the least. Generally sided with Robby though.
Left out his comeback race in 2002 at Darlington but ultimately extremely good video, keep up your good work!
Thank you! And yes, I didn’t think about it until after uploading. But, thankfully I included the Winston open victory at the end there 😅 I have contemplated uploading that segment as a separate tribute video. If so, I’ll throw that in too. Hope you stick around! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ClumsyCardboard Absolutely, great video ideas!
11:50 that road course at Rio huh?
One of the best races ever there was Greg Moore bringing it home just a year later.
Tim wasa huge talent. I loved NASCAR in the 80s and 90s, and there were a lot of guys who could win at an oval event, but when the engines started in the few road races on the schedule, eighty percent of the starting grid had no shot to win because they werent very good on road courses. Tim was fast at EITHER. To me, that shows how good he truly was. Im not going to say he would have had more championships than Earnhardt, because thats silly, but one thing is for sure. Had Tim Richmond lived, he would have been VERY competitive in the 90s, and man he would have fit in great among Dale, Jeff, Mark, and all the greats that decade had in it. Kind of the anti redneck. Would have been fun to watch.
I loved watching Tim Richmond driving on the road courses at Riverside and Watkins Glen.
That must've been incredible to see in person. Did he make it look as easy in person as he did on TV?
Way way better then Dale. RIP you're both legends
Who says race car drivers aren’t athletes! 😂
Damn straight!
Everybody poops
The music from Daytona USA helps make this video even better!
Glad you enjoyed! It is an incredible soundtrack. Shame Daytona USA 2 cabinets are hard to come by now, but there ain’t as many arcades these days I guess.
I wish he won at Darlington as his repeat 2001 win.
It certainly wasn’t for a lack of trying.. but it just wasn’t meant to be. I wish it too though.
Imagine your dad buying you a Indy car 😂
So when you mentioned his previous NASCAR experience before DEI: It was with Hendrick-Newman racing, which wasn't an underfunded team, but a backup team to Hendrick Motorsports and he drove the #14 Kellogg's Corn Flakes car from 1995-1997
That #14 was a very pretty car too.
@ClumsyCardboard Honestly, I thought it was kinda bland, like it was missing something... Oh, I know: colors... But the number font was 🔥 Honestly though, the #5 Kellogg's car from the same era was iconic
@@TheMrtgamer The #5 Absolutey was incredible looking! Forever iconic.
Tim passed away in the hospital I was born in. GOD BLESS TIM & DALE. TWO of best there ever was.
Lucky birth!
Suite Case Jake my friend.
10-4, I was thinking of yet another crew chief legend. I've made the corrections accordingly in the description for newer viewers. Good ear though!
Nice video. Definitely worth the wait.
Thanks for the patience and support daniel! Hopefully the next one won't take as long to make haha. Glad you enjoyed!
@@ClumsyCardboard I hope so.
Boost pressure??? Brother...... NASCAR doesn't use turbos.... Ain't no boost anything....
Indycar does. That’s why I used a picture as an example. There was a LOT of clever “innovating” in other motorsports too. I am well aware NASCAR mandates naturally aspirated engines.
Build it by the rules it still gets banned so fck it might has well break the rules
Lord knows Ray definitely did, and encouraged a lot of other Hendrick projects to “innovate” over the years. Even before then
Park had all the talent necessary to be a successful Cup driver. In 1997, he actually was one of the drivers that participated in DEI's part time Cup Series effort in a rather sick looking #14 Burger King car. Hornaday and a couple other drivers ran that car too
Yep, very true! Robby Gordon also did a start or two in it as well.
Beautiful video man, Salonen indeed is one of the true icons of this sport. Also, what's the song at the end of the vid?
Thanks so much! He’s my absolute favourite. As for the song, unfortunately I’ve been trying to find that still.. it was part of a Nissan promo from the early 80s. Hope that helps narrow it down!
Ryan preece is the best CUP driver Look at his career CUP stats after 4 full seasons Whoop whoop Go get em Ryan 🏆 🏁 💪 👏 🤪 🤸♀️🥤
Preece is another driver with a modified background. He’s got a prosperous career ahead of him. My underdog pick for this year as well
What did you think of the vid?
@@ClumsyCardboard you can't possibly be serious What CUP series races are you watching? How's he look today in Vegas Answer honestly
@@c.d.8975 He’s working his way forward. His effort is impressive week to week. That’s my honest assessment
@@ClumsyCardboard LOL 😆
Boy that footage from riverside is crazy fast such a shame what drugs can do to a person that guy was an unbelievable driver
It certainly was one of the best runs at that track ever. Hell of a send off for it. But, whilst he lived in Florida for a long while, it was not drugs that ruined him. That was a false diagnosis from a very faulty doctor, who no doubt ruined NFL careers before he worked for NASCAR. Even big bill knew he messed up hiring him.
he died of aids from sex with many women drugs only he knows but i wouldnt be shocked...left a trail of 30 infected they say. its public record. i dont blame the doc sorry. @@ClumsyCardboard
It's kind of amazing the legacy left behind both by Park and DEI would still exist to this day (#1 Car)
Trackhouse, chastain especially, is doing that #1 justice today. I hope he wins again soon! Glen thurman did some great coverage the 1 car's recent history. Worth checking out if you're interested. Tell 'em clumsy sent ya! czcams.com/video/6Shxd1a32Ek/video.htmlsi=Buzi-G4UXNnMcZ-f
@@ClumsyCardboard thanks already did actually
No problem! Great series. @@xavierjuno4572
Very informative and well put together! Keep it up 👍
Thank you! I'm glad i could do his story justice.
It takes a lot to get back in a driver’s seat after that sort of crash. There’s a reason he’s so fondly looked back on
And still the number one! What a driver. Glad he's still alive.
