As the 2020 NASCAR Season has come and gone, we have lost two teams this season from the Cup Series, one of which we may have just started to see their true potential shine. This is the story of Bob Leavine's Race Team.

Because he was so consistent. He got only 2 DNF’s, the lowest of all of the full time drivers that year. He also finished 26th in points, and that was a career high for him until he bopped it in 2020.

I don't think it was a funding issue, I think Bob Levine shut down operations because he basically had no control over the team once Toyota signed on, Levine probably wanted to keep Matt Dibenedetto but Toyota executives overruled him saying Christopher Bell has to be in the car since LFR was aligned with JGR

Even though it was their last season, I'd give C. Bell a 10 for effort, he tried so damn hard to atleast get them to victory lane atleast once, There's a few times that 95 was bad fast this year like at New Hampshire but then blowing a tire, Texas chase race but then finishing Top 5 (👏👏LFR you won't be forgotten) ✌️✌️

Crazy thing I noticed in this video, LFR finished 2nd to several JGR cars...and JGR and Toyota might ask them to swap out drivers so anther JGR driver could rise into the top tier. With 2311 coming on next season, I see them finishing 2nd to JGR....if the car climbs that high during the race. If 2311 wins with a JGR car in 2nd, it would be because what the fans and press would be saying about keeping Bubba down as a driver [sorry about the rant]

Great video. It seems like any team that Team has a technical alliance Joe Gibbs racing. Goes out of business quickly. Furniture Row won a championship then before the next season ended Furniture Row announced they were closing forever. There were comments from Team owner Barney Visser about the high cost of winning. The team was losing money because the amount of money Joe Gibbs charged them and TRD engines. Then Toyota goes onto Leavine family racing 2 seasons with Joe Gibbs alliance there out business. If I was starting a team I wouldn't ever go with Toyota Even though they want more cup teams then just 6. TRD supplies the engines for the cars they Leese the engines to the teams. Of course JGR tweaks the engines. Getting back to starting a team myself first thing I would do is get a Technical alliance with Hendrick Motorsports. Look at Stewart-Hass after they left there alliance with Hendrick by switching to Ford. No Championships they won in 2011 And 2014 championships with Stewart and Harvick. Yeah Kevin Harvick had 9 wins but by the end of the 2020 season you could see Ford falling behind and Nascar made a rule change to take away whatever Stewart-Hass was doing with their rear wheel wells

Bell did win a truck championship with KBM and finished well with JGR in Xfinity every year. So I believe Kyle put in word for JGR to bring Bell in and since he had already been on the team it was a no brainer I think that they should have have dropped to xfinity and be an xfinity team or be part time cup

I feel LFR's fall is to do with JGR. How many drivers careers has Joe Gibbs pretty much screwed over in the past few years? Oh yeah, I can name a few Daniel Suarez, replaced by Martin Truex Jr in the 19. Matt Kenseth, replaced by Eric Jones in the 20. Matt D, replaced by Christopher Bell in the 95, which resulted in Matt going to Wood Brothers. And now? Eric Jones, replaced by Christopher Bell in the 20. I call favoritism on the part of JGR.
