i don't understand why Ware has four precious charters that he uses to field 4 cars that are such consistent backmarkers, just one of them finishing in the top 20 is a good day for that organization. With all the reports about more teams wanting to get into NASCAR, he might be better off selling two of the charters, going down to two cars, and using the money from the charters to make his two remaining cars competitive.

[@maley2552]

I remember after the bristol incident Jennifer brought her truck team to Xfinity and ran decently well and I think her fielding her own xfinity car was a "Fuck you I'll do it myself." moment. Jennifer bought a few fords from Rick Ware and then she bought the entire Dodge Fleet from R3 Motorsports when they switched back to Chevy

[@DDS029]

People should. I met her when she ran her first speedway race at Kansas in a rented car for an ARCA race. I was an official at the time. I have never seen a more determined person to do things the right way, and soaked up every bit of information she could. When I was doing the initial under car inspection, as I was rolling from back to front on my creeper, she was right along with me bent down at the rocker panels asking my what I was looking at when I would reach a part or measure something. This was back when ARCA always had enough cars that some wouldn't make the race. She started somewhere in the upper 30's and finished around 15th in a car that usually finished in the 5th to 10th area, with an experienced driver. People just took advantage of her, so she started her own team that in the beginning she funded herself and even to this day, without the budget others have, has kept running as hard as the money allows. And she's still there, while not only this guy, but a couple of others like him, pocketed her money, tried to steal her equipment, and all. They are gone, in jail, or scamming others in some other business.

When a team can only afford one car and one set of tires, they kinda don’t have a choice. Sure some of them may have done it to make a profit (it sure helped provide some jobs during the recession) but other teams did it because they wanted to stick around. Leavine Family Racing and Germain Racing (sure they aren’t around anymore) used to be start and park teams when they started, and they managed to stick around years after.

This is by far the worst NASCAR team owner. However the worst team owner in racing history has to be Andrea Sassetti an Italian shoe designer who owned a team in F1 called Andrea Moda that was kicked out of the championship before the 1992 season even ended because Sassetti put his drivers in danger multiple times by having them qualify on dry tires in wet conditions. The reasoning behind this was that the team was too poor to afford rain tires which are a requirement in F1 during wet weather. Also during the Canadian Grand Prix the team qualifed without engines because Sassetti had failed to pay the engine supplier. Lastly Sassetti was arrested during the Belgian Grand Prix for forging auto part invoices. Basically he was caught writing fake bills for parts he had supposedly bought for the team when in reality he never bought the parts. The team only made the grid for one race and retired after 11 laps in that event.

How can NASCAR allow an owner to black flag a car just because the owner says the car has to start and park and the racer is actually their to you know race!!!??! Pathetic

4:43 Is that possible? (I don't understand much about Start & Park apart of the meaning) 8:33 LMAO a Cars moment

[@wingracer1614]

Finishing last in a cup race could still pay 10k-30k dollars. Now that's not enough to support a serious race team every single week but what if you only needed one car and one engine for an entire season and just 2 sets of tires each weekend? Thus the start and park. Build one car good enough to qualify. Practice on one set of tires to get the set-up, slap a new set on for qualifying, make the show, run a couple laps, park it and collect your money. No wrecked race cars to repair or replace, no huge tire bills, no blown motors, no pit crew to pay for. It was good money.

Rick Russell, Ware Racing equals Trainwreck, 'WARNING, ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK'!

@BlackFlagsMatter would you consider a video on NASCAR’s PR guy back in the 90s, Chip Williams?

[@thebeagles2025]

I don't understand why NASCAR would tell Cobb that they were going to black flag her? I don't get that.

Missed fact, Rick Russell enter a truck in 2003 for Scott Hall that DNQ IRP

[@patrickdabs]

Thanks again for another great video man!

I think they may be forgetting ISM and Team Tabasco.

[@scottleeper8332]

I forgot about that Bristol race. I remember remember watching it live

Video idea (yes I have asked this before): The Worst Rookie Of The Year Battle

[@JohnSmith-mk5jt]

It's gonna be between 2010, 2011, or 2012. But I'm gonna say 2012, because out of the three, the rookie that year (Stephen Leicht) made the least amount of starts of the three ROTYs in their winning seasons (15 starts for Leicht, 30 starts for Lally, 28 starts for Conway)

[@BrassMaster84]

@@JohnSmith-mk5jt true, but I think Lally won the worst battle, as he was the only driver to compete in more than a handful of races. He could have shown up, taken the green flag, taken a s#!+ in the driver's seat, and then left... and he still would have won ROTY

Jennifer Jo Cobb gets my respect

[@Sasquatch1213]

Hearing Jennifer Jo Cobb is so weird. I’m so used to hearing Jennifer Jo Corncobb!

[@pandaexpress7326]

I’ve been watching too much cosey. He always says corn cobb

[@thebeagles2025]

he had to have been heard from at least once more..... who bought his equipment? Or is it sitting in a garage somewhere?

[@moontainbew5018]

many may think she is terrible, but i always admired her heart passion to do good even if not fast her love of the sport willing to battle with the guys never give up attitude is a great driver to me. It be nice if she got 1 chance in really realy good epuipment agan for a couple races and see just see how she do. :) that probably be a dream come true to her and she deserve it to me. I always route for her

[@Loner2012AT]

Any driver that black flags their own car is a joke. Good on JJC for handling that mess with class.

[@lubnakhan3271]

bro at the Bristol part if I was the one in that 79 I would've broke the car to my best of abilities to ruin the car owner's career.

[@filipvitanovsky5413]

And people are shitting on RWR, while yes, they have some problems , but they are far from disgraces such as this team.

[@mesousagaby740]

Do a video for that con artist of a Nationwide Series team: MSRP Motorsports. That team can shove it and I'll smack them one.

Well at least they didn’t decide to drop two pretty good drivers just to get extra funding unlike the American team in a certain open cockpit series
