The Most Cursed Achievement in NASCAR

[@thegreattreon0177]

I'm just glad NASCAR gave Bobby Allison his win before he died

[@THEDonnyB]

Barely.

[@dariandudzik1871]

It’s probably why they gave it to him. They knew he was in his final weeks.

[@CameronGreenwoodCramp]

Yes, me too. :)

[@paulmatthews463]

And Bobby was still winning races when he suffered his career ending injuries.

[@trevorhintz1290]

Who would’ve thought at the time Richard Petty’s 200th win would’ve also been his last.

[@jabber1990]

I thought everyone was aware of that

[@trevorhintz1290]

@@jabber1990 He was halfway competitive for 3 more seasons after that so I don’t think it was unreasonable to think he could win another race or two.

[@ManMountainMetals]

Yeah, I don't remember him being halfway competitive, for 3 more seasons. I remember the past champions provisional, so he and DW didn't miss the races.🤔 but that was a long time ago.

[@seannolan9857]

He broke his dad's record for oldest race winner at the time. I'm pretty sure everyone knew he didn't have many left in the tank at that point, though 201 didn't seem unreasonable.

[@Chickeen0shaw]

So when can i get a JPR Daily Downforce crossover video?

[@ChevChamp35]

There's a stretch on Interstate 85 called "Jeff Gordon Expressway" it's like exits 48-49 where Charlotte Motor Speedway and Hendrick Motorsports is off of.

[@81casperflip]

What about the most cursed car. The #28 car in the 90s. Allison died, Irvan almost died, kenny irwin brought the curse with him from the 28 to the 42. The 42 turned into the 01 after Irwin. Leffler drives the 01 then died in a race years later

[@masoneveridge4078]

I’d hardly consider the Leffler one considering that one happened 12 years after he drove it and also the fact that out of the 2 drivers that drove the 01 both lived for over 10 years and 1 is still alive

[@81casperflip]

@masoneveridge4078 Leffler was still in his 30s when he died prematurely and so was Irwin and Allison lol

[@1400hpnextgen7]

Good eye. Its a bit strange.

[@godisgood1359]

​@@81casperflipwhy are you Lol when talking about someone's Death?

[@81casperflip]

@@godisgood1359 not laughing at the death, laughing at the irony

[@zachrobinson344]

I think if Gordon and evernham could have stayed together for even 10-15 years they would have had a chance. They got to 50 wins so fast

[@AsswipeGarage]

Gordon would have 7 titles and 100 wins if not for The Chase, Lucky Dogs, Overtime, and all the other contrivances that NASCAR created. Remember when the guy leading a race when the last caution came out would automatically win the race? Gordon got screwed out of at least 5 wins that way...usually on "DEBRIS" cautions!

[@roymcdre9180]

Jimmie shouldve had 85. I think 2013 spring dover? Juan spun the tires and NASCAR blamed JJ. And the 2007 Kansas race...

[@retailytt]

That dover race still haunts me 😩

[@AlanWiltsie]

Darrell Waltrip had a win stolen from him at North Wilkesboro? I thought it's been proven that Bodine won that fair and square

[@NotSteveCook]

It has been proven. I watched the broadcast. Brett shortpitted, and made up half a lap in 15 laps (new tires were invaluable at the Wilkesboro cheese grater). When Brett passed by as Earnhardt exited the pits under the yellow, it was for the lead.

[@masoneveridge4078]

Can y’all send me the link so I can check this myself as 30 years of people constantly saying one thing typically makes people believe it’s true also the way Bill France Jr talked to DW after the race made it very likely that there was a scoring error but I want a link to the broadcast so I can check it so I can be sure

[@NotSteveCook]

@@masoneveridge4078 1990 First Union 400

[@simoneburini4036]

It was legit but also the result of a mistake by the pace car driver

[@BrianCampbell-m9p]

And Darrell had around 55 laps left to pass Brett so there is that

[@DukeTheRebel]

Actually, you’re wrong about the North Wilkesboro thing it’s been proven at this point that Brett Bodine did win that race fair and square NASCARmanhistory and Brock Beard did a really great video about it

[@highoctanecards]

I enjoyed the video, though I respectfully disagree on your take on the Brett Bodine win. I can't remember if it was Slapshoes or Brock Beard, one of them dissected the chain of events and really makes a clear argument that Brett was the legitimate winner of the race. Keep up the videos, am truly enjoying them.

[@goblin11c95]

highoctanecards is right, the video "Who Really Won North Wilkesboro 1990?" on the nascarman history channel by brock beard, thoroughly debunks the myth that brett won via a scoring error.

[@Whitewizard1289]

Steve Waid covered it on the scene vault also when they talked to Brett. And dale earnhardt ran second anyway.

[@highoctanecards]

@@goblin11c95 that's right! I knew Brock narrated it, I couldn't remember who posted it.

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

Bobby Allison really waged a 52 year war with NASCAR over 1 win then days later said "aight imma head out"

[@greendayray]

Apparently dinosaurs roamed the earth in 1997 lol

[@darthhull85]

Gordon is the greatest the sport has seen. Petty and Pearson eras were so different. 93 in the modern era is insane.

[@ic3man]

1:33 Truex only did 19 2006-24. That’s 19 not 20

[@b.w.22]

Umm, isn’t that only 18?

[@ic3man]

@ no that’s 19 full seasons

[@csxtrainfan319]

RIP Bobby

[@JasonRamme-g9w]

Jeff Gordon could've won 100 races if it weren't for a heartbreaking loss at Las Vegas in 2010,Martinsville in 2012,Texas in 2014,and the Daytona 500 in 2015.

[@smokeymchaggis73]

There is always a chance someone comes along and can pull it off 85. No one thought Gordon would come close till he started winning. No one in their right might thought Jimmie could come close (remember how he was terrible in stock cars till Chad came along). Never ever is a long time for definites.

[@whynotnascar]

Exactly how it feels with Byron; I didn't realize that he was already at 10 wins if I'm not mistaken, and if he keeps improving with 3+ wins each year, he could easily be looking at Dale's record. It's kinda crazy

[@JasonRamme-g9w]

Johnson and Waltrip sould've had 85 wins. Maybe Jimmie wins 90 if it weren't for a heartbreaking loss at Dover in 2013 and Charlotte Roval in 2018.

[@gswizzy17]

It’s funny because modern F1 is the complete opposite. Back in the 50s and 60s if you won just 10 races you were considered a legend because of the amount of races Now if you win 10 races you’re probably just a number 2 driver on the top team because of the amount of races

[@Avelyn_Band]

actually bodines win was debunked, he won fair and square

[@michaelwallace1861]

Was at the Daytona Firecracker 400 with my Dad. Too bad it finished under caution.

[@SeanRasmussen-rx7mi]

Connor Zilisch gonna break Richard Petty's 200 for sure

[@davibarbosa1445]

dont get me wrong i love connor, but 200 is impossible, he has to race from 2026 to 2059 and win 3 races in all seasons

[@ManMountainMetals]

They were having 2 or 3 races per week back then.

[@reborndiajack9612]

He has to win 10 races a year for 20 years

[@kenyilopez3818]

😂😂😂 Oh wait you’re serious, lemme laugh even HARDER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@makeabrae]

yeah no kidding only way possible would be like Kyle Busch in all 3 series but now with the 5 year cup experience rule where they can only run limited truck and xfinity races that is unreachable also

[@me18guy]

Don’t forget Dale probably could have reached 85 also if he didn’t die

[@lazarbro]

4:11 He didn't go watch the mascarman video on this. NASCAR actually got it right.

[@Kuromori-v9z]

"I said 85. Eight Five. It's always BEEN 85. Not 75, not 95. EIGHTY-FIVE." -Walter White.

[@noviranger88]

Connor Zilisch would like a word. He could EASILY win 30 races in a season.

[@krinky0666]

Wtf no

[@TheMainLead]

Kyle larson averaging 6 wins a year doesnt sound crazy haha

[@treehouse98]

Another number - 7/8 Take a look at (in my opinion) the big 3 motorsports, nascar, indycar, and f1 The most championships of any of these sports is 7. A combined total of 6 drivers have 7 championships, and none have 8.

[@kylesanders8472]

I would argue Christopher Bell also has a chance, if he wins more frequently

[@24BEARCATS24]

Kyle busch is way over 200 wins get your fact right
