Well, That Sucks #6

[@pascalfarful952]

That pit problem with Scott Wimmer literally sums up his entire career tbh.

[@deathrooster14]

Yeah, shame really because he had the potential and work ethic to be a competitive driver.

[@nameless7838]

i actually have never heard of the Sadler/shoulder/tire incident until now, wow!

[@nbaezzy2099]

That shit is wild

[@oxysz]

Just heard it too. Instantly was like damn.. that sucks! Then laughed lol

[@TheTotallyRealXiJinping]

He’s an underdog no doubt about it

[@BrettMKW]

Carl Long is so unlucky.

[@nascarfan88ta]

BrettMKW Well his luck has turned around a little bit since NASCAR has allowed him to return to Cup

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

Im still mad bout that penalty. How many years has it been? Hope you're good

[@AlonsoRules]

he got let back once the fields started dropping

[@nascarfan4888JJ]

It's a shame that we will never have 50 cars to try to make a nascar race (like at 2:02). The 2007 Daytona 500 had 64 cars and this year they can barely get 40 cars to run. It's just way too expensive.

[@nmmacc18]

If there were large fields like that today, the races would be lit, and more exciting.

[@joshjarnagin3161]

NMMacc18 Would it really be more exciting? It's not really adding anybody to the race with a shot at winning

[@AutoRockinRacing94]

nascarfan4888JJ that and the charter system

[@phillipmccandlessbp]

Regardless of how many cars are in the field, the TV broadcast will continue to only show the top 10 or so. It would only matter if you went to a race yourself and just made the choice to watch the back of the pack battles

[@AEMoreira81]

Reducing the field was basically the way to end start and park operations. That is also why the Truck series got reduced to 32 trucks.

[@johncholmes643]

I met Carl Long in Phoenix a couple years ago. We had a great conversation, great guy. I had the worst luck for 6 months straight...

[@antz350]

I miss the earlier 2000s nascar, why did they have to kill it??

[@NascarNixon]

Need more excitement!!!

[@antz350]

They are missing that with added drama. It has gone too coroprate in my opinion, I miss the good old boys and pre-chase rules, get rid of the front and side valance and make them race without all that down .force!

[@Dat-Mudkip]

You got a picture of what Elliot's car looked like after he reached pit road?

[@bryankaylakohler3754]

[@nathanderover6929]

I've been looking for that Elliot Sadler clip for years.

[@paullilko41]

Ha I remember the race with wimmer and Johnson shared pit stalls

[@DavidRagan3134]

Poor Schrader at 2:15. Seemed he had a couple of good runs taken from him late in his career. I remember when he was running top 10 at Martinsville in 06 before Ragan took him and DJ out in that 6th Roush Car.

[@dannicolmatthew]

A guy on reddit asked for more info on the Elliot Sadler shoulder incident and wants to see if there were more incidents where the blown tire damaged the roof

[@AEMoreira81]

Is Carl Edwards' car falling off the jack at the 2006 Pocono 500 under green anywhere here? That resulted in an 82-second pit stop and 2 laps lost to the leader (Edwards had pitted from the lead.

[@daneamann6225]

What race was that where Carl Long DNQ'd in the 37 car? I'd assume 2006 Charlotte, the only time Long ran a 37 car there, but Larry Mac mentions Derrike Cope making the field in that clip, while Derrike isn't listed anywhere on the Racing-Reference page for that race. Did Larry Mac make a mistake or is there another race I'm missing?

[@NascarNixon]

2006 Coke 600. Cope successfully made the race in the #74. However, Michael Waltrip failed to qualify. Michael bought Cope's ride for the race and they renumbered the #74 to the #55. If you look closely on Racing Reference, Micheal's owner is listed as Raynard McGlynn.

[@nbaezzy2099]

Can someone help me? Did I see that Carl long guy say he was starting 50th? I thought they only ran 43 on race day?

[@keithmillerjr2825]

He was 50th quickest in qualifying, which meant he didn't make the race. He failed to qualify for the 43 car field.

[@trainsontape6531]

why did wimmer and Johnson share pitfalls?

[@NascarNixon]

42 stalls, 43 cars

[@trainsontape6531]

So wimmer and Johnson shared Johnson's pit crew?

[@NascarNixon]

Yep. Knaus figured it would be easier that way than have two crews use one stall.

[@trainsontape6531]

NascarNixon did knaus crew chief both? also so wimmers crew just did nothing that weekend?

[@TM42]

Both crew chiefs were there.

[@roguelead72]

Should add in Paul Menard leading a race into the WTF segment.

[@NascarNixon]

He won the Brickyard 400? What is WTF about that?

[@brandonwalker4502]

NascarNixon By fuel mileage Mr. Nixon, pure stupid luck. Jeff Gordon DOMINATED that day for his then fourth. #StillButtHurt

[@roguelead72]

NascarNixon Yeah but aside from that he hasn't done much else.

[@Pervere1621]

Roush and their damn sponsorship issues back in 2011-2012. Now Trevor's the only one that hasn't needed Ford or Roush to sponsor a car since 2013

[@CBF65]

And now Bubba's a victom of the no sponsor situation for Roush

[@mrepicchickenman]

Roush issue came from paying way too much to sponsors then he had to cut back just so he could keep all his cars at the track in even worse equipment and then sponsors left. Really dumb reason to go from top team to 15th place every weekend.

[@TravisMSimpson]

When did the sadler clip happen?

[@NascarNixon]

2000 Texas

[@SpectralUmbreon197]

Can the Wimmer situation happen today?

[@NascarNixon]

I don't believe it can in Cup. Both Dover and Phoenix got around to expanding their pit roads to accommodate 43 cars.

[@Cittiverse]

and now with only 40 cars, there's extra pit-road space.

[@trainboy32]

who can forget the one year trevor was leading at texas and blew a tire and when Jamie interviewed him he was like I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry

[@tannermccage554]

Why would Chad Kanus use his pit box for Scott Wimmer? That I do not understand.

[@DaMan87]

There were only 42 pit stalls at Dover and 43 cars in the race. The 4 and the 48 had to share a pit that day, and to avoid having to move crews and tool boxes around, Chad elected to have his crew service both Jimmie and Scott. Unfortunately, it didn't work so well for Scott.

[@sabbathbassdude8491]

I've never heard of 2 cars pitting at the same pit box with only one team, wtf?

[@Dat-Mudkip]

Probably the 4 team trying to get some benefits. Dover originally lacked enough pit stalls for all 43 cars. Usually this meant either drivers shared a pit-stall or, more likely, the amount of cars in the field was reduced. This was fixed when they proceeded with stage three of the Monster Mile Makeover, when they removed all they basically rebuilt pit road, giving a total of 43 stalls that were all four feet longer.

[@brandonwalker4502]

Dat-Mudkip Sonoma was also like that for a while.

[@Chives5150]

Sonoma's infamous Gilligan's Island.

[@johnathanbryan7015]

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

The driver that took the fuel can away from the driver doing the pitstop should be penalized

[@shakefl]

what was a shame about the 3rd clip? was it the first lap he made the race but the second he missed it?

[@NascarNixon]

If he had kept it out of the wall, his 2nd lap (according to the qualifying tracker) would have got him in the race.

[@shakefl]

NascarNixon oh. that was still his own fault. but i guess it constitutes a "that sucks"

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

Man oh man.. what hasn't happened to Elliot Sadler? Poor guy!

[@ellisjames7192]

I miss Benny.

[@NokiaCupSeries]

how would sponsorship problems keep Trevor from racing at Texas? Ricky raced at least half of his NNS career with either Ford as his sponsor or nothing as a sponsor

[@NascarNixon]

Probably had to do with the fact that Trevor was running the #21 in Cup. No point in running an unsponsored car when your driver has somewhere else to go. The #60 car only ran a handful of races the rest of the season, but all the races the car was sponsored.
