When NASCAR Teams Implode

[@TheSlothNerd64]

I thought Brewer was fired after the finale due to screwing up the timing of the final stop, allowing Alan to get the important bonus points.

[@JackCallSports]

Nope if you saw his interview on the scene vault podcast it was actually different

[@bclautz]

He was. That pit call was at Atlanta.

[@dang5553]

Wrong completely. Brewer got a phone call later that night to remove some of the crew from the plane. Now these people Junior wanted on the plane had nothing to do with racing. Just fun look up Tim interview. Tim had the crew fly all back. It was Bill Elliott who paid for. It in the long run. It was weird how Junior let Tim go. All over a plane ride

[@TheBraydenBunch58]

Robert Yates Racing is another good one

[@thunderstrikesc1261]

yes but they are still building engines so its not like the whole organization went away

[@TheBraydenBunch58]

@@thunderstrikesc1261 Yeah, That’s Roush-Yates engines.

[@RealSWOfficial]

Had not Spingate happened, we could’ve seen MWR win more and even championships but then again we won’t able to see that dominant 2017 season of Martin Truex Jr.

[@TheBraydenBunch58]

Furniture Row still could’ve been a backmarker in 2017 if it didn’t happen

[@gamez4420]

what's even more wild is there was still a word where MWR didn't die. It might be a good thing for Michael though, with the bad PR that would've came from Vickers

[@crystaljon]

Makes you wonder if NAPA wouldn't have moved to Chase if it never happened.

[@TheBraydenBunch58]

@@crystaljon I think they would still leave, But after 2015. I think Truex does decent and Bass Pro comes back.

[@lanternsown3525]

AK Racing is the Saddest One in my book after the death of Alan Kulwicki, losing their leader only a few months after winning the 1992 championship was truly heartbreaking.

[@jabber1990]

he wasn't going to be around for much longer, everyone was going to do what he did and probably do it better

[@dougcorcoran5455]

[@michaelmarburger1003]

Junior Johnson’s downward spiral actually started because in ‘92 Junior got caught “with his pants down” (figuratively speaking) with one of those beautiful female Budweiser models. His wife filed for divorce and ended up taking a chunk of his team’s monetary funding. In addition, Junior’s was one of the “older” teams that did not adapt to a new age of NASCAR owners that brought newer technology and bigger money to the sport. For example, the Budweiser sponsorship at its peak was $150,000 for Bill Elliott as driver in 92 while Tide sponsorship for Rick Hendrick the same year was $500,000

[@TanDawg58]

Brett Bodine didnt leave JJ and Associates, he bought the team, and Lowes stuck with Brett through 96 before heading to RCR Furniture Row was never a start and park organization. They always ran to the distance, barring a mechanical failure or accident

[@joaquinfrancissilao975]

It's still a damn shame that Furniture Row Racing shut down. All because Joe Gibbs and/or Toyota had to raise the costs of their technical alliance. And then there's Leavine Family Racing. We all know what happened to them next. Legacy Motor Club could be next. Why does a major team like JGR make their customer teams cough up more money than they should? Cannot believe that NASCAR allowed this to happen. There should be a rule in place already to prevent such rise in technical alliance costs happening again.

[@Dexter037S4]

Legacy has backing from a billionaire, they ain't closing until they lose Jimmie and others.

[@s21b0b]

LFR suffered because of COVID + bad financial management by the owner

[@bobbymoore7874]

Tim Brewer got fired from Junior johnson because he didnt know terry labonte hadnt pitted yet and told Bill to pit

[@Ultimate23Dragon]

Fun Fact: Ty Norris actually blamed Brian Vickers' blood clots for MWR shutting down, not "spingate."

[@dennisbowen452]

Smoke sees adversity, smoke gets mad and points his fingers elsewhere, smoke quits and goes find a new hobby. That’s what happened

[@NASCARFAN93100]

I feel that Michael Waltrip Racing would have been in the same conversation with Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing & Team Penske when it comes to being The Top Teams in NASCAR today if Spingate never happened

[@JackCallSports]

Imagine a nascar with MWR at Toyota DEI with Chevy and Junior Johnson and associates at Ford

[@BririshBoy]

Tony checked out when Ford refused to let him sign Kyle Larson. He knew the talent Larson was and saw him as the flag carrier for SHR.

[@RooneyMac]

Lol. And still that Yung fool can't land any real sponsorship and runs out of talent every week

[@milogunther5024]

To be honest, other than Kurt Busch and 2018. Was SHR really that good outside of Harvick and Tony Stewart pre 2013? Newman got 4 wins, Bowyer got 2, Almirola got 2, Briscoe has 1, Custer got 1. The rest of SHR wins are Kurt Busch (6) Tony Stewart (16) and Kevin Harvick (37)

[@TimberWolfer63]

I feel like another reason SHR faultered was because they kept losing their top quality drivers and were never able to get it right when finding replacements. Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola, and especially Kevin Harvick. The current roster is being led by a rookie who can only be considered the leader because he's older than his teammates. But here's an idea for a future video: Professional athletes from other sports investing into NASCAR, by that I mean starting a team. There's actually some quite fascinating ones throughout history

[@JackCallSports]

Passing MWRs shop when I was in NC for my internship was very erie to see

[@fortunemotorsports97]

Sad SHR is going away but not shocked.

[@dougcorcoran5455]

Bobby Allison was #12 when he drove for Junior.

[@paulwatson4189]

Tim was fired 3 days after the end of the season. Jr had a young girlfriend and built her a massive home just down the rd from his old place.They married and had a son . Jr sold the team to Brett Bodine and was no part of it. Barney Visser the owner of the 78 had a heart attack during the play off run . Furniture row and Denver mattress was his own business's and he said he wasn't spending his own money again racing . Both Jr and Barney left on their own terms. They did not implode.

[@vinewood8295]

Davey Allison shoulda won that 1992 Winston Cup & SHR shoulda stayed with Chevrolet...

[@Bloxnstocks]

nice new background

[@billfeld5883]

1949 , I got $2,000.00 I'm going racing!!! 2024 I got $75,000,000 I'm going racing! People are always going to be able to compete, and nothing last forever including race teams, 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haas is going to run one car next year. I think Stuart just wanted out.

[@Danyell7Frelk]

What racer do you go for

[@Lefturnowski]

How did you do that wallpaper in the background. The NWB one

[@timhartigan3260]

Gibbs essentially put FRR out of business.

[@timhartigan3260]

They switched to Ford at the right time because Chevy was struggling with their front fender design. Ford forced SHR to have 4 teams.

because all the bad boys left and just powder puffs remain, simple as that, sponsors want eyeballs, hire more conor mcgregors that talk smack and walk the walk and take over the place, its a simple recipe, people dont want mama drama , they want action jacksons who handle their bizz on the track if someone got something to say about it or gets out of line, entertain us

[@ensignstephens6307]

Gibbs is not the nice guy everybody thinks he is.

[@jchayes7325]

Well all this is very good but you're missing one thing when NASCAR pulled the truck series from Eldora that was part of the reason why Tony is getting out of NASCAR not just finances but pulling his track away from Nascar was the biggest mistake that was just part of it then all the stupid finds they gave the team and everything else I can't blame Tony for leaving NASCAR because of NASCAR is not the same as it was before these stupid charters the stupid stage racing and the stupid playoffs NASCAR needs to turn it back to 2003 and leave it alone put the point standings the way it was get rid of the stupid Charters get rid of the stupid playoffs and get rid of the stupid stage racing they have ruined NASCAR with all this playoff BS stage racing and the stupid charters when little bill was in charge there was no charters when little bill was in charge NASCAR was booming it was doing great ever since his son took it over he has looking at the money not the sport anymore it's all about the money that's all anybody cares about is money money money money money money money money money money money they don't care about the sport They Don't Care About Us fans they don't care about anything but money thanks to the France family after Little Bill died they have ruined the greatest Motorsports of them all
