The 2012 NASCAR Season Doesn't Get Talked About Enough
It wasn't all that long ago, but the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is one of the most underrated in the 21st century. It's easy to forget how compelling the story arc was from February to November with all the twists and turns you could ever draw up. This video is going to put some respect on its name and shed some light into the details unraveling all the drama that came with it.

Jeff Gordon vs Texas Motor Speedway
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 5 měsíci
We all know Jeff Gordon is one of the all time greats and nothing can change that. But the luck (or lack thereof) he experienced at Texas was appalling throughout his career. This is an in depth look at what transpired as blow after blow was dealt for almost 20 years to the 24 car. Be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!

Track Dominance: Dale Jr-Daytona (Busch Series)
zhlédnutí 15KPřed 6 měsíci
Everyone knows the trail of dominance Dale Earnhardt Jr left at the hallowed grounds of Daytona, but it is criminally untapped how ridiculous of a stranglehold he had in the Busch/Xfinity Series. It was an automatic victory for a 4 year stretch when he entered in those races and it was more impressive of an accomplishment than you think. This covers all the details.

Track Dominance: Jeff Gordon-Indianapolis

It's no secret that Jeff Gordon is one of the greatest drivers in motorsports history. But what he accomplished at Indianapolis Motor Speedway over a 20 year span is one of the most remarkable aspects of his career. It felt necessary to do an in depth dive into each chapter and display just how dominant he and his team were for such a long period of time. Jeff wasn't always disdained by the maj...

  • @tylerohrn9103
    @tylerohrn9103 Před 16 dny

    Would it make sense to run the 24 Hours of Daytona the immediate Sunday before the 500 to help compact the Speedweeks schedule? I don’t think there’s as much fan interest in practice sessions compared to years past but maybe some more preliminary races (even on the road course) might help. You no longer have IROC or the Dash Series to help fill out the schedule either. Also most people forget the Daytona 500 was not the first points race until 1982. In many years before that it was Riverside.

    This video narrated my thought processes and emotions almost exactly, as I was 9 when I started watching Kasey in 04 & went wholeheartedly diehard as well. The emotional roller coaster of being a Kasey fan was insane but the emotions at Atlanta ‘14 & the Brickyard are spot on. The saddest part for me is that if he hadn’t had the health issues in the car, he may have taken the #41 at SHR and who knows how that could’ve gone. (That was only a rumor I saw no confirmation that there were any talks)

    I was a junior fan. Watched him win the Winston in Charlotte in 2000. Let’s face it though. He was an average driver at best. Never came close to the championship and really was done 5 years before he retired. Great guy. Funny. Smart. Nice. But not a top tier driver.

  • @rayzie8599
    @rayzie8599 Před 5 měsíci

    The irony here is that Jeff Gordon broke his second longest winless streak at Texas in 2009, and then went on to run very well there until the end of his career. He was in contention to win the chase race there in 2012 until running out of fuel right before a caution which made him lose over 20 positions. He finished second to Logano in the spring 2014 race and then was going on to win the '14 chase race until the late caution and we all know what happened after that. He then posted 2 more top 10s in his final season. COT era onward, Texas was a pretty good track for Gordon.

  • @canyouhandlethis_
    @canyouhandlethis_ Před 5 měsíci

    Good video but I wish you had gone into detail on two things: 2004 when he was leading and his battery failed and by the time he switched to the backup he had to lost a few positions 2007 when he was leading but hit the wall and he fell off Those were two races where he ended up with good finishes but certainly frustrating
