Top comment bro
I feel bad for Matt Kenseth. It took a lot of emotional maturity, fortitude, and humility to maintain composure, avoid drama, and to just focus on being his best self. Humility is often mistaken for weakness, but his casual revenge on Logano proved he's no doormat. Respect. Sorry you had to race with so many douchebags, Matt. You're definitely the better man.
Matt Kenseth was actually my favorite driver

Little bit about Kenseth that got left out of the video, after the crash his crew chief said over the radio "wow right front tire must've blown out or something" in the most sarcastic tone I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣
Jimmie Johnson & Chad Knaus' comments on the radio about the crowd reaction was gold, too
funny enough, the Radioactive of this features Kenseth saying the same thing "Yeah front right's blown or something."
After which NASCAR called Kenseth, the CC, and I think the owner to the trailer lmao

As a F1 fan, my reaction to everything was ''thats alowed??' 'he's still alowed to drive, what?'
Welcome to the last 60 years of Stock car racing.
That’s NASCAR for ya...it isn’t the purest form of Motorsport, but it’s real exciting.
XD you can get away with a lot because the cars are meant to take a bit of a beating and comparatively slow so the drivers can take more liberties and risks with revenge
That's the USA. There's a lot you can do in American football compared to Rugby, for example.
@@freedomgoddess lol
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.
Hunter, that was very moving, and with no irony or sarcasm, "thanks for sharing".

Matt Kenseth took the brunt of the force from every altercation in his career, he was arguably the most level-headed, even-tempered driver on the track, and after all of it, that one move by Joey Logano, that one unnecessary setback, awakened the wrath of the most calm driver.
Also, I feel like I should note that the transition element of Denny Hamlin's FedEx 11 moving on screen when you said that the intensity of racing at Martinsville is dialed to 11 was very clever symmetry between the script and the visuals.
There are few things I fear more than the wrath of a patient man.

primitive methods to repair primitive technology...
In truth, this is a very old-school repair technique that appeals to the "spirit of the machine" or "Anima ex Machina" in engineering terminology. They're punishing the vehicle in the hope that it encourages it to function more favorably in the future. A type of Pavlovian negative reinforcement. This is the same reason that 'percussive maintenance' works sometimes. If the machine spirit it scared of failure, or further punishment, then it will do whatever is possible to prevent such situations again. Think of it as a type of machine learning.

Stock car racing is better and more entertaining overall
@Egg T there are no circular or oval races in stock cars, try again
So does S1apShoes
@@THESLlCK NASCAR is stock car, at least in theory. That's literally what the SC in the acronym stands for.
It's actually kind of a shock to hear that Kenseth isn't very popular. He was my dad's favorite driver. But my dad is German, so I imagine the quiet politeness appealed to him.
>german
>quiet
huh?
@Sillimant_ he doesnt get it💀
@@Sillimant_Go to germany fam youll see what he means
Terry Labonte and Matt Kenseth were my mom’s favorite drivers. Come to think of it, the polite, strong, silent type reminds me of my dad too.
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.
What's interesting about the Bodines is that Brett and Todd were living under their brother Geoff's shadow since day one.
Geoff was a good driver by winning the 1986 Daytona 500, 1987 IROC Season, 1994 All Star Race and won the Rookie of the Year in 1982 and has 18 wins to his name. His best finish for the championship was 3rd in 1990. He's perhaps best known for the scary looking crash from the inaugural NASCAR Truck Series race in Daytona in 2000 which in my opinion is the scariest crash in the entire sport and that crash ties in with Mike Harmons Practice crash in Bristol in 2002 including Michael Waltrips Xfinity series crash at the same track in 1990 in my book. Geoff is also perhaps best known for buying the late Alan Kulwickis team in 1994 by keeping the number and font and Geoff didn't do well being an owner driver in the Cup Series
Brett won by a possible scoring error at North Wilkesboro in 1990 when electronic scoring didn't exist until a few years later and win number two never came. His career ended by a practice crash in Michigan in 2003. He too bought a team by NASCAR legend Junior Johnson but the team was being leased to Brett (How do I know this? Well ask good ol' S1apshoes!)
Todd was a journeyman driver unlike his brother Brett he won 15 Xfinity Series races and when he drove in the truck series he drove in style! Winning the 2006 and 2010 NASCAR Truck Series championships including winning at Daytona 2008 and 2009 by having 22 wins to his name...
I have a cousins wife who has a family member who knew the Bodines in Pennsylvania...
The Labonte brothers were a good rivalry between them too! Terry won the Cup championship in '84 and Bobby well Bobby was in the Xfinity Series in the early 90s before moving to Joe Gibbs Racing in the mid nineties during Bobby's career his brother won his second championship in '96 and it wasn't until 2000 Bobby won the championship in a Pontiac. The 2000 Cup Series Championship was also the year that Dale Earnhardt finished second in points... Sometimes I wonder if Dale won his eighth title in 2000 if Bobby wasn't consistent...

Second this notion
I watch NASCAR every week
13:34 the sped-up footage of the pit crew beating on the car with sledgehammers makes me crack up every time
Nowadays they still can do that but one glaring problem though.... NASCAR is using a 10 minute timer for the crew to work on the car and if it reaches the 10 minute marker they are out of the race...
Pretty controversial move...
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.

Round here we call that "Kinetic Maintenance"
“It’ll buff right out”
Matt Kenseth sounds like the Keke Rosberg of Nascar. Finished consistently to win his championship and yet people don't really rate them. To be that consistent in a sport in which anything can happen, that's impressive.
Keke Rosberg just got lucky. If not for Didier Peroni's accident Ferrari would have won the championship, also the Renaults being unreliable helped him a lot too.
No wonder I dropped off of nascar in the 2010's, I didn't recognize why I wasn't enjoying the races as much as I had in the 2000s keeping one eye on Ernhardt Jr, but this video puts it in hindsight VERY clearly. Never did care for the "sure thing" style Kenseth had going on, but seeing him just PILEDRIVE Logano brought a genuine smile to my face, guy had it coming for YEARS!

I was at the 2015 Martinsville race. When Kenseth pile-drove Logano into the corner, the crowd cheered louder than at any other race I've attended. The only Logano fans in the entire place were sitting right in front of us.
It was *almost* enough to make me feel sorry for them.
"Almost" LOL
He deserved it, karma catches up to everyone
Dont feel bad logano fans arent people
The “only” Logano fans out of the 55,000 in attendance? 👍🏻
I sure feel sorry for Logano fans.
I cheered so hard when Kenseth wrecked Logano. One of the best paybacks ever!
Matt Kenseth has always been my favorite driver. And that incident opened a lot of other fans eyes.
As a Jeff Gordon fan, watching Matt Kenseth take out Joey Logano, leading to Jeff’s 93rd and final win, was one of the best NASCAR moments of all time in my opinion.
Its still devastating to this very day that after Jeff Gordon won his 93rd and final win at Martinsville in 2015 many of us thought he would have a fairytale ending career winning the championship at Homestead for the ages to look back on but sadly we were robbed... it still gets me because I rooted for Gordon that day... sure I wanted Truex and Harvick but I picked Jeff to win his 5th championship because he had more experience but when Kyle Busch won the championship I was devastated like everyone else...
@@Mister_Matt_X The season before that was more painful IMO. At least he made the final four that year.
It's not my favorite race I've ever seen, but it might be the best race I've ever seen. Cautions, playoff drama, Kenseth vs Logano/Penske as well as Danica vs Gilliland. It amazes me the best race I've ever seen, came from the worst season I've ever seen
“Where is he? I’m gettin’ his ass.”
This is probably my favorite Jeff Gordon quote. It perfectly embodies what happens when you piss him off. Absolutely beautiful.
I'm someone who has always respected but never quite understood interest in sports (particularly motorsports) for as long as I can remember, but watching your videos has really opened my eyes and I find myself extremely interested and drawn to things like Nascar now and I've really been able to bond and get closer to my dad which has been amazing.

Matt Kenseth is my favorite racer because he teaches us one of the most important lessons in human history.
No one is obliged to be nice to you.
People are nice to you because they choose to be, so don't take it for granted because no one is absent of choosing differently at any given point.
On top of that, just because someone's a nice person doesn't mean they can't do something to screw you over in any way, shape, or form. Respect is something earned, not taken.
Be kind to one another...... because if you go around being an insufferable prick...... one day someone will wake up and choose violence and you'll be on your back in the blink of an eye
Peaceful men are far better than harmless men, as peaceful people are capable of dishing out great violence if they want, harmless men are just that, harmless
And this - everyone has their breaking point. Just hope they're not breaking your way!
Kenseth belongs in Gitmo
33:45 is the greatest moment of my life...

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.

@@Krystalmyth yep. 💯%
But he got his championship a little bit later
Jokes on u Logano won a championship later on
@@crispykiddo70 Nobody cares about Joey Logano
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.
That's sweet
I love this 🥲
im happy for 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.
That's a nice story.
I have probably watched this like 5 times since it came out. So well done!
I’ve never watched a nascar race in my life but the story telling and character building in this video was phenomenal! Made me want to go to a race to be honest, just not something I was ever exposed too.
any plans to attend a race yet? they are some of the most fun and excited places on Earth.
@@calvincanada4723 actually yes! NASCAR is coming to Austin and I’m going👍🏽
@@ironmountain7907 awesome! I live really close to Bristol motor Speedway in tennessee so ive been there a few times.
That robbie gordon radiator boop was phenomenal. Absolutely devastating with basically no effort.
And with relatively little damage to his own car as well.
@@GamersHolyArmy and on what’s probably the cheapest part of his car since the bumper cover is just fiberglass
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.
Watching Matt putt Joey into that wall put the biggest smile on my face.
@@eduardclark what does this mean
It put a smile on the entire croud
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.
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...
Harvicks about to do the same thing to Elliott
One of my favs videos on YT. Absolutely perfect. Love to comeback and rewatch this masterpiece
I love car culture, but I never was into nascar. This alone has made a fan out of me. This has has been a fantastic watch . Someone may hate me for this but this is someone who knows absolutely nothing about nascar.. Jimmy Spencer is the man.

This comment was edited by the way.
It’s amazing how people like Emplemon can take such a seemingly niche topic such as NASCAR or high jumps and turn them into half hour long entertaining and thought-proving videos for the masses.
There are very few people on this platform who can do that, and it’s a nice break from all the fake, political, drama ridden videos you normally find.
Sure, there may be hundreds of people on CZcams with much larger audiences. But regardless, Emplemon will forever be one of the greatest of all time. He’s made entertaining content for just about a decade, maturing with his audience. And he feels like a friend in that sort of way.
TL;DR: Great work Emp, keep it up!
oh hey, I watched your pokemon vid.
@@Butter_Warrior99 Look at that! Small world, I guess.
@@Butter_Warrior99 And because of that I think I'm gonna watch the video
@@elansleazebaganno Same.
@@elansleazebaganno probably an alt made to self promote. Oh yeah he has 80 subs no way he'd get recognized LOL
This is an amazing video. The story, the background, the obvious time and lost sleep from the dedication to make this length of a masterpiece, and let us not forget the R E V E N G E ! ! !
I have been educated entertained.
This is one of the best nascar documentary that I have ever witnessed. This was just moving and gave me nostalgia form when I was young. Nascar CZcamsrs are hard to come by and you are definintly my favorite.
The turn 11 on Sonoma I've been fortunate to drive myself and it is one of the most jarring experiences to go from that high of a speed of around 100MPH+ to make slowing down to 40MPH feel like you are Gary the snail. Awesome work on this dude!
Ayyeee who knew thatdudeinblue watches emp
F1 is even crazier with how rapidly you brake and accelerate
It’s always cool to see more high profile people with experience in the area comment on videos like this. Plus, it really shows how good Emplemon is at making these types of documentaries. Hands down one of the best channels on CZcams.
bro just drift the turn and save the 110 MPH.
My mom could make that turn at 110 MPH if she was going to the store with some coupons that expired that day
I had a feeling Matt's story was gonna turn into the classic "quiet kid that snapped" story
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...
At that point Pumped up Kicks began playing rent free in Matt's head as he prepared to take out Joey
Him and Steve Park were my favorite drivers.
@@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
More like guy with excellent reputation ruins it with one dumb ass move.
I've always had a very mild interest in Nascar, but these stories we're so cool to listen to! The way you told each one was just perfect.
The best NASCAR video I've ever watched.
Well done!
I massively enjoy these Nascar videos. With each video I piece together more of the history.
Didn't expect to see you here
@@Liner_404 well, emp's most played game is TF2.
Kiddie diddler
Didnt know u were interested in this stuff XD
We NASCAR fans will take you in with open arms
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
Yeah
Man thank you. This is an amazing Video. You are a Legend!
The fact that I was invested in this video essay from start to finish, is a proof that you can make people interested in anything with right presentation and pace of information. And I never carried for Nascars as much as i did here. Good work!
imagine getting to be the last person Dale Sr ever flipped off. I'd wear that as a badge of honor
I got flipped off!
Worshipping someone is cringe bro
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.
@@Gl-my8fw I don’t remember asking
@@yumyumdoritoes12345 it isn’t even your comment that I responded to.....screw off
Matt Kenseth was the hero we needed but didn’t deserve.
@barnoftheyard Funny, people also say that about Hitler
never heard this used in a more true sense. lol
@barnoftheyard go ask for attention from your parents maybe it'll help
@barnoftheyard Your mother did nothing wrong disowning you.
@barnoftheyard 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...?
Your NASCAR content is the reason I got into the sport. I'm now a Ross Chastain fan and addicted to watermelon. Thanks Emp!
To me the most fun I've had watching a rivalry in NASCAR would be in the 90's. Dale Earnhardt Sr. vs Terry Labonte at Bristol was my favorite duel I've watched in racing during my lifetime.
I am convinced Emp is single handedly reviving people's love for Nascar
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
Somebody's gotta do it no?
@@billcipher1756 children's cartoon avatar

As a 20+ year fan of the sport who has unfortunately watched it's long slow decline in popularity, I hope you're right!
I can respect Matt Kenseth for his conduct. Not really a Nascar fan nor do I watch races, but it's surprising and refreshing to see someone so hard to anger and who can keep his cool.
As an open-wheel and sportscar racing fan, which usually have pretty clean racing, I can't get my head around how NASCAR drivers are constantly punting each other at walls, especially considering that they usually drive at an average speed of around 180mph on faster ovals. I know that NASCAR cars are built like tanks, but it should be a fucking crime, so I also respect this man, even though I've only just found out about him. Well, that and the fact that he's a NASCAR Cup Series champion.
Yeah, I'm not a NASCAR fan at all, mostly because all the drivers seem like assholes who'll happily risk your life just for looking at them funny, so it's kind of surprising to see that there are actually people who drive NASCAR that aren't jerks.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN you haven’t seen full races then, drivers try to avoid crashes, this video and a lot of other make NASCAR look like a constant demolition race when that’s far from the truth.
@@sandenson punting people or “bump and run” drivers are booed for their antics, you see fans really cheering for the cleaner drivers. The champ from 2020 was Chase Elliot, and he is one of the cleanest drivers out there. Every driver respects the kid because of it.
Dude the depth of your videos are insane great job emp
