14:42 also to answer your question since I'm not on Reddit- Texas 2024. So close to being 1-354 man... (most painful season- 2023. Car broke down every other week, if the car didn't break down Sieg would spin out, just a general lack of overall speed, lost his longtime sponsor, worst points finish of his career, only 4 top 10s with 0 top 5s, it was brutal)
@@EC35-80 it’s so cool to see a Ryan Sieg fan, he’s a legit contender Week in Week out more than ever I feel like. I can’t tell you how hard I was rooting for him at Texas man that one hurt everybody
Ryan Newman almost exposed the elimination format in its first year by coming in second place in the championship race despite not winning a single race. He won his way in on points alone and managed to survive till the final 4. Finishing only a second behind Harvick
@@N4N82 That system made it worse, but it's still very possible for a winless champion to happen even with playoff points, as Matt Crafton demonstrated. It also would have happened in Cup in 1975, which honestly would have been more egregious than Harvick's 2020. Petty wins 13 out of 30, then loses the title due to a mechanical failure in the last race. To a driver with zero top three finishes.
Super good video. Loved the bit of psychology fused into other sports and heartbreak along with nascar. Preciate the Chase love and for the Mark Martin mentions brotha 🤘😎
I don't agree with the notion of 39 being any sort of "peak" age. For every example driver you can name, I can name at least two who were clearly declining at that point. Statistically speaking, when looking broadly at the 76 year history of the series, the most common age of a race winner has been 31. And pretty much every age from 29-36 look stronger as an overall group than 37-39. A few late bloomers don't change the trend. And when you consider that Kyle's brother had his last multi-win season at 36...
@@seannolan9857 that’s fair I totally understand that. I think the 39 is more skewed towards veterans of the sport who carry most of the all-time wins so the data could easily be lopsided. I used the New York Times for my source there, I’m sure there’s more there too.
I think a better way to look at it is that for the all-time greats, they have their best seasons in their late 30s because their decline isn't as drastic. No doubt the average race winner age is much lower because its usually younger guys getting 1 or 2 wins in their career than near 40 year olds. Not a hard and fast rule by any means but just my opinion :).
@@silentt-d Even limiting it to drivers with 10+ wins, the only one who had his absolute best season at 39 is Terry Labonte. There are a couple of others that are debatable, but even among the legends it's a coin toss on how good they'll be at that point, and their best seasons are usually around 34.
Yt was forcing be to watch this video for the past 3 days and I finally said FCK IT so I did and very good analysis video not a lot of nascar analysis videos besides Elli Productions and I hope you grow fr you earned a sub keep it up. Tips from what I can see I think your editing on capcut and your not doing a bad job but the editing could use some work but you will definitely improve over time so that's not rly a tip but try to make more eye catching thumbnails if you do want more views and try to use hashtags too.
@@GammaRazorMVS thank you for the support! I’m using Wondershare Filmora for now and yeah getting the editing precise has been challenging for sure, but the goal is to be better every video. Appreciate your time man!
Nascar itself has suffered the greatest loss due to the playoff formula. Intended to increase interest and viewers, instead has turned off droves of lifelong fans. Look at track attendance these days. Plenty of empty seats where sro was the norm pre-playoffs. A plain shame!
@@timothymooney4466 while the playoffs have definitely been a big factor of driving old fans away, I think it’s done a lot to retain new fans. Say what you want about the playoffs they’re not my favorite either, but there were so many other factors that led to people leaving the sport In short, no one hates NASCAR more than nascar fans 😂😂
@@N4N82 I didn't imply the playoffs were the only cause of de-popularity. Just that the result has been the reverse of its intent. The fact remains that around the turn of the millennium there were a few seasons where the championship had been clinched before the last race. Once or twice with more than one race left to run. So to keep eyeballs watching, satisfying advertisers, they thought of a clever system to make us watch every lap to the last. However, if one's favorite driver/team doesn't make it all the way to the end, there's less incentive to watch. I may be sure to find out where my favorite car finished, but am not going to invest time, energy and heart into an inevitable lost cause. Therefore, less are tuning in at the end of the season rather than more. And some who've given up entirely. Perhaps the time will come when there won't be anyone who remembers the old system, so that won't factor into popularity. Nevertheless, viewership hasn't been and won't be as robust until Nascar goes back to a traditional format for determining a champion. Imagine finishing second at every race on the tour but not being crowned for so remarkable a season. Its a ludicrous system!
even back in the day when Earnhart was still around, the same old rule applied, tune in on the last 10 laps, the marathon thing with all the gimics just kinda ruined it, why spend half a day watching a car go around a circle, when the main part that matters takes 15 minutes, when the actual competitive racing kicks in, and then you got the courses, speed all the time, that gets bland, the best courses for legitmate skilled racing dont do that its why people remember the group B legends yet most cant name a single modern Nascar winner in the past 15 years too long, pointless and drawn out like the old joke goes, GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!!!!
I gusse we have something in common I love kyle Busch when I was little n I still do I don't know if it was beascue of m&m scheme. I don't know I was born in 2006 btw so I was there for kyle Busch era I didn't strate watch til 2012 beascue of nascar inside line

Nascar deciding to cut the season to 10 races to make it more exciting only for one guy to win 5 straight titles is so typical isn’t it
