Bill Weber Passes Away | NASCAR Test At Rockingham | Kyle Larson's Comments On The Playoffs

[@j.t.8848]

RIP Bill, always enjoyed him as broadcaster, tv host and pit reporter.

[@justgosee]

No doubt. I can hear his voice plain as day. RIP Bill.

[@DJDouglasWarden]

The EA game as well

[@jonhebb3185]

Bill webber nascar old school

[@DDD-us6uu]

I liked Bill, he did a good job, he will be missed, good man.

[@danlitchfield894]

So sad, for Mr Weber and his family. I enjoyed his broadcasting. Eternal rest grant unto him.🙏

[@naparacingfan9275]

Great to see Kahne back again and go out on his on terms in NASCAR. It's awesome to see the Rock 🪨 return also. I agree Larson, the playoffs are a bad way to crown a champion.

[@peterwilson9589]

I always enjoyed Bill Weber when I started watching in 2001 and have been watching old races with him calling the race on KZbin. He was so good! You will be missed, Bill!

[@DewkChronic]

Sad we dont know until they pass that they were sick, Bill Webber was awesome

[@BillyRicker92]

I was just watching old nascar races on nbc with Bill Weber, RIP, he will be missed.

[@lewiskemp5893]

Rip Bill

[@Tom-jy3jd]

Points only, consistency wins

[@johnhaas2523]

That's not going to happen because that's not good for TV

[@wishyt4852]

Points only, but big increase on wins and stage wins

[@jake24titan]

Not sure if Bill wrote all of his pre-race intros, but nearly all of them made sense and set the stage for each race and gave that race importance. That will be my memory of Bill. RIP.

[@Ochoduckie]

RIP Bill. His broadcasts with Wally and Benny were a lot of fun to watch.

[@KenC4242]

Glad I got to see the cars at Rockingham. Yeah they looked really good. It kind of sucks that there wasn’t any live app or website where we can see the time so while we we’re sitting in the stands

[@liamwetzler9281]

Bill Webber! Should get a nascar hall of fame vote for sure. Nascar O.G.

[@MikeKalasnik]

I have yet to see NASCAR, NASCAR on NBC, Toby Christie make 1 mention about Bill Weber. Kind of sad really for a guy who was with TNN, ESPN, NBC/TNT. Yes, towards the end of his run, his hot takes were often questionable and his monologues were sometimes filled with controversial statements, but some sort of tribute would have been fitting.

[@robk9508]

I first saw he died on Jayski

[@wolverine9632]

Nascar: Horrors! Extremely consistent drivers could win a championship without winning a race! Also Nascar: Creates a championship system where a driver can win 20 races and still lose to a driver with 0 wins. RIP Bill Weber, he is a legend and announced many of the races of my childhood. I'm glad to see Nascar returning to The Rock. If the Cup series ever races there, I may actually watch 2 races in a Nascar season.

[@aaronlewellen5]

RIP, MR.WEBER

[@PeteMcCracken]

Bill Weber was a great dude called races with heart and excitement very good at his job ,yes should be in nascar hall of fame , as far as NBC letting him go, sometimes people need a reality check so Bill done a damn good job at that too, he will be missed

[@Ticona2]

I can not say enough how much I love your channel!

[@busher69]

Sad to hear the passing of Bill Weber. He brought knowledge and spark to every assignment he had covering NASCAR. Rest In Peace

[@aaronb4936]

Bill was always great. Condolences to his family and friends.

[@davelikesbacon]

For comparison the track record was set by Jeff Gordon in 2001 at 22.6 seconds. Damn

[@daleoplinger3577]

Great job with your news and doing it very fast and entertaining

[@johnvaughan22]

damn i’ve been playing some nascar 06 lately, bill webber added a lot to that game

[@charlesayers5387]

Please pray RIP 😭🕊️💔❤Bill ❤❤🙏🙏🙏 family members and friends

[@MrKbarker360]

67 is to young! Sad to her that. Rest in peace brother

[@davidconley3610]

RIP Bill Webber!!

[@robk9508]

i started watchng NASCAR in 2004, Bill Webber, Benny parsons, Wally Dallenbach. those were the days lol

[@Cameron--zs3lb]

Corey Day is a guy that everyone needs to watch out for in the next few years

[@jameskeyser5124]

Was literally thinking about him the other day hoping someone would pick him up for play by play. Him and Bestwick were amazing back in the day. That’s what the booths are missing

[@Stupidfastracing]

R.I.P. Bill

[@kamakazi832]

When the driver that has almost double the wins to the next driver an dos t make it to the final 4 something is wrong winning races should count for so much more an probably should just switch the championship track every yr or even make it a mystery to fans an the teams

[@COCarDude]

So weird to me how GM got rid of the Camaro branding but kept the "ZL1" emblem in the grille

[@Ochoduckie]

With regards to Rockingham, have we heard any feedback on how the racing surface performed with the Xfinity/Trucks? The old pavement was brutal on tires, but there were at least two distinct grooves around that place. I’d be concerned that with a newer surface and the addition of SAFER barriers, those lines could be altered enough that the Rock turns into new Iowa.

[@jerwatson79]

Bro! Richmond gets me every time on NASCAR HEAT. So frustrating 😡

[@MotorsportVersatility]

Not sure if you’ll see this or not BrakeHard but I think your channel is having a bot issue I’ve noticed that whenever someone mentions how the playoffs are flawed (ironic considering Mike Forde’s comments a few months back) there’s a whole bunch of people who either have no pfp or a generic pfp with a car and a generic @ Thought I’d let you know and I hope the issue goes away and the bots get terminated (no pun intended)

[@johnwalter6686]

I dunno, it just seems like when the pressure is on Larson and Hendricks and Gibbs and others can’t deliver and are still in shock over it.

[@johnhaas2523]

Hendrick

[@alh1618]

No. Its always been this way. Certain drivers and certain teams historically perform much better than others at certain tracks for periods of time. Thats why the final race alwaya being in the same place sucks

[@nathananderson3922]

The final time Bill Weber called a Cup Series race, Kasey Kahne was the winner at Sonoma.

[@ADale-nj4cx]

When Elliott and Larson won Championships back-to-back at phoeni didn't hear all this Wine and crying from From the fans which gives me one conclusion. Kyle Larson and all his fans or Lil cries babies.

[@wciii3591]

The NASCAR playoff system sucks.

[@johnhaas2523]

Clown

[@rvmanmatt6643]

Not "slightly", MAJORLY. There is no prestige anymore. Best team is the one that perform on all tracks over the course of the season.

[@stellingbanjodude]

I was just thinking about hill Weber, hate to hear he died.

[@TheSpeedracer1982]

Current Championship is short term entertainment brought to you by tv executives who don’t know the sport. Unless we get the classic points back, give me 2 wins over a championship.

[@benwalter4842]

They should just go back to the original version of the chase. It seemed to work just fine. Also, one race alone should not determine a driver championship. At least make the final round three races, and push the playoffs back a couple of weeks.

[@chadhensch4748]

RIP Bill. Great commentator and race announcer.

[@alancarter41]

There are multiple issues with the playoff format, but obviously the major one is the ridiculous winner take all single race. A three race series would be good, but they have to have a mix of tracks. Oh, and I love the Red Bull tweak on logos.

[@NebuChadNezzarKBDN]

Kyle Larson should be lowed to dominate the sport just like every other sport has some dominant team or member. NASCAR is pathetic. And he’s correct in his statements.

[@matthewgreenlee4631]

4 race final round: Phoenix, Texas, Daytona Road Course, Homestead.

[@carltonharris7160]

12/14/54...alan kulwiccki was born. rip bill weber

[@PhiliciaHall]

Hell yeah Rockingham coming back!!!

[@anthonyhill503]

Finally a guy that gets it... go back to the old points system.

[@scotturbanski740]

Bill was my childhood.

[@tonyellis124]

Your half right. Hamlin sucks at Phoenix but there also was a time when Harvick was the best at Phoenix and then Larson was came along and became unstoppable there. I have always found Homestead boring no matter who won .Lets make Hotlanta the championship run

[@jarredchandler2595]

I agree 100% on 3 race final race would fix the playoffs

[@jonrobertson7801]

Only thing I remember about Bill Weber 2001 fall race at Martinsville Ricky Craven wins first cup race and he's so emotional After all the injuries and concussions at talladega speedway. However at victory lane Bill kept on calling Craven Ricky Rudd twice. I'm sorry to bring this now but I just can't let it go.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Ya, it’s so tough when celebrity people show signs of being human.

[@justgosee]

You do a good job, man. The one thing is that the F bombs (previous video) just aren't fitting for you. I'd suggest saying 'freakin'" instead. Other than that, yeah. You rock it out and I'm happy to be here with you. Keep up the good work.

[@timkis64]

i would've never thought bill weber was 67 years old.the guy hid his age well.hell im 60 & look 90 compared to bill.

[@dannyvanhoutenjr.7224]

Mentioning the controversy unnecessarily twice in a pre recorded video places a shroud over his death my guy.. you spent as much time talking about that and rumors as you did his accomplishments.

[@markpeterson03275]

If we’re not going to have a dramatic finale for certain, how about a 36 race championship round?

[@SuperLateSpotter]

Like Bill Weber, NASCAR RIP

[@kevinn570]

Not bro saying they don't believe in illusionists in Russia LMAO.

[@GrizzlyJ.Ranger]

I get what Larson saying, but to play devils advocate. All he had to do was win a race and lock himself into the final he failed to do that. Where as Lagonno, Redick and Blaney pulled it off and Byron just flat out pointed him.

[@bobwhitebread1887]

Let's go RFK.

[@aricray8369]

Clouted the prestige slightly? No sir…. Majorly Sincerely- us fans

[@greendayray]

Another legend lost

[@lewiskemp5893]

As much as I hate the playoffs AT LEAST HAVE A 3 RACE FINAL !!!!! You could even include Phoenix but I think Atlanta should be included like it was. I know. I was there😅

[@bonesdoes6142]

You want a drafting track? 😩

[@fishhuntadventure]

I’m all for a 3-race showdown at the end of the season. But not to determine the championship. Racing is a competition between a field of participants. The dominant over the season is the season’s champion, not a make believe lottery-like fake championship determination where a driver eliminated from ‘the chase’ (sic) wins the fake championship.

[@CriticalNuance]

I love the playoffs but I am in favor of a 3 race final with rotating tracks for the last race. Larson's comments do sound like cry baby sour grapes though. Blaney/Penske didn't win his championship race. Ross Chastain did. As a matter of fact Ross almost won the race in '22 also. My point is other teams can get it done. The rules are the same for everyone. Also Larson didn't even make the final 4 last year. Work on that before crying that no one can beat Penske. I'm not a Larson hater... I'm just saying, act like the greatest driver on the planet if that's what you think.

[@michaelpauley125]

I don't give 2 shitts about Nascar's Playoff Points Carnival Circus Act. I will watch some Select Races, and thats it. I don't Care Who wins or loses anymore. Nascar's Points,Rules, Cable Channels. It's A Crap Show.

[@williamgreen6179]

Just say it; the Nascar Championship last race format has become a Joke. I don't get excited in a good way. Nascar pisses me off with their refusal to change the format back to the old points before they changed it to prevent Jimmy from winning it again. Nascar is now based upon luck and not Merit. Real Nascar fans don't want drivers getting lucky and sneaking into the finial four. Penske is the only team that is great at Phoenix. Penske sucks for most of the season and some how they manage to win a race to get into the finial four. No more 16th place average driver to win the Championship. Larson would of won based on old point system.

[@johnhaas2523]

It's never going back to based on points. NASCAR is in the entertainment business that's where the money is everybody is required to like it and shut the f****** permanently You have to like everything that is good for entertainment. Look at the scoring lines the playoffs make and the drama

[@North-101-Racing]

It won't go back.

[@ic3man]

@@johnhaas2523 really? You’re that rattled over someone having a different opinion to you? You’re the type of fan who should be avoided, not those calling out NASCAR.

[@ic3man]

@@williamgreen6179 glad someone has a brain

[@ic3man]

@@North-101-Racing says the guy who said they’d change the format for 2026. How senile are you?

[@casey2173]

Dude, the static screen is so off putting. I literally can’t watch these videos, I can only listen.

[@ic3man]

Larson’s interview further proves why the playoffs shouldn’t exist in NASCAR/any form of motorsports. Most drivers see don’t really care for getting the championship as much as they do wins now.

[@Crutz-x9p]

Being very redundant bud.

[@ic3man]

@ Larson isn’t the only one to say it. I mainly feel bad for the drivers.😔

[@Noman1010-nh6uh]

​@@ic3mankyle Larson would be in the finale if he didn't crash him self and dnfing every week, there is no luck that comes to play, the Next gen prevents all that except for Superspeedways. The next gen value talent and thats why luck should not be in the question, i would be dead last if i race with those cup guys. Obviously luck isnt it.

[@johnhaas2523]

So what You have to like everything that's good for TV and NASCAR has two as well because that's where the money is So if you don't like it being about entertainment then bye-bye Don't watch Motorsports

[@ic3man]

@ admittedly, ever since the nextgen car came out, Larson has been slightly overrated

[@maley2552]

How about making the playoffs only 2 rounds, Round 1, which is 16 Drivers, and the Championship Round, which is 8 Drivers. Both rounds are 5 races.

[@driverslqqk7940]

😂 I agree with Kyle Larson they need to fix it so that he can win more championships cuz he didn't even make the championship and to hear him cry about the the Penske cars winning all the Championships well maybe he should build a faster race car after all they do have the most money of any team maybe he should not have so many wrecks that take himself out like he did in 2024 and maybe his ego is just a little bit bigger than his driving ability good God Kyle why are we even interviewing him why wouldn't we interview Joey Logano who won the championship last year like it or not Penske has built a great racing team year after year they perform you don't just do that with luck I guess NASCAR is just all about Kyle Larson I know I'm tired of hearing him but I forgot he's the best race car driver that ever drove a race car he's even better than Max verstappen what a blow hard can't stand him

[@Twister21084]

Telling a driver to drive faster is like telling a homeless person to buy a house
