Off topic but why did this have the same vibe at Joey playing Yu-Gi-Oh?

Current objective: survive

Yeah, the 2014 was a fun season am I right? The tagline for that season should’ve been “Everyone Hates Brad Keselowski” 😂😂

Yeah I kind of agree we see Harvick winning more races than anybody last year and he doesn't make the playoffs and we see Kyle Larson winning more races than anybody and Willie win the championship all it takes is one bad break and he's out how is that fair when he's shown that he's actually better I'll take more races over consistency any day that seems to be a barometer of why are we racing to win races kind of obvious the guy who wins the most races has covered the most variety of tracks and is spend the best driver through the season he's beat the field more so what a guy finishes second every race and when's the championship over somebody that won more races over the season over a guy that might not have won any good point.

@@driverslqqk7940 Bro, you need to use some punctuation.

@@driverslqqk7940 Matt Kenseth won only one race in 03 and won the championship but obviously consistency was apart of the championship back then

Yes Harvick has been screwed in some of those seasons.

Harvick would have 4 championships by now. It might be 3. But yeah 3 or 4 by now.

Ryan is my favorite driver

Austin Dillon got the Xfinity title in 2013 with no wins as well.

@@chloe-stephlis6281 Was it a Playoff format in the Xfinity Series at the time?

@@SiVlog1989 my point was Matt Crafton wasn’t the first one to win a national top 3 series title without winning the whole season.

@@chloe-stephlis6281 I wasn't trying to trap you, I genuinely don't know if the Xfinity Series had a playoff format at the time. What made Matt Crafton's achievement unique of course is that the Playoffs were brought in specifically to reward winning races. The fact that he didn't, exposed the flaws in the Playoffs of course

:::Applause:::

Kyle EARNED that championship. Got injured before the 500 and had to work his ass off to make the top 30 in points. The only other drivers capable of doing what Rowdy did in 2015 is Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon

Yea, maybe. But he still missed half of the season. Whats the point of showing up to the races if they gonna give someone who was in a wheel chair half the races the championship. I just dont feel like being 30th in points justifies LETTING him finish 1st in points because of something that happened when Kyle was risking his tail in the Xfinity Series race.

​@Daniel G Well I dont want a championship where the first 25 races dont matter

My partner and I both yelled "OH GOD NO" at about the top of our lungs when that wreck happened.

I've seen a lot of wrecks, but holy shit, the sense of dread watching that was immense. Thank God he was okay and there have been worse accidents in recent years like Allmendinger getting a spinal injury, but from a visual standpoint, it may be one of the worst wrecks of the current era.

I think Kevin Harvick actually exposed the system by wrecking the field at Talladega to advance.

If you look closely, it's been exposed every year. Newman 2014, Busch 2015, everyone in 2016, Byron in 2017, Reddick/Logano in 2018, Crafton 2019, Harvick 2020

Hemric straight-up "won" the '18 Xfinity title without the playoffs. His mere presence will expose any and every points system in existence.

"Did Kyle Larson expose the system?" after he somehow loses the championship

It's going to be hilarious if Hemric takes the title. Not just a winless season but a winless CAREER

This aged very well 🤣🤣🤣

You legend. You just predicted the future

They did. In 2014 there were no regular season bonus points, no playoff points, no stage points. Under current system he would never go as far and Jeff Gordon would have been a boring lock for the championship four.

Same

Yeah whoever does best over a longer period of time is champion in my opinion. Every sport doesn’t have to be the same and have a playoff.

Socialized racing!

I don't really know much about Nascar but enjoy these vids- but I don't understand the title. To me "exposing the system" would involve revealing some under the table deals, cheating, race fixing, etc. Surely the instant this format was unveiled it was obvious to anyone who checked that somebody could have been crowned champion this way?

Also to help fair with that, Jimmy did get loose

He stayed chill because if he got stupid Ryan would eat him alive!

It's called not wanting to get your ass kicked...lmao!

Ryan would snap Johnson like a Slim Jim! :-)

@@dhsRacing0620 😆😁👍

The Rocket Man!

Yeah there is much parity when you're driving a Hendrix car put any driver in a Hendrix car and he'll probably win and to win five in a row it's obvious money wins the sport and that's not what fans came to see let's have every team be a multi-car team you know I always said when Jimmy Johnson was winning his seventh championship I wondered how all the other Hendrix cars felt being the experiment car so that Jimmy could win to figure out all the setups that would work and wouldn't I'm pretty sure that went on and I guess I remember Jimmy Johnson and Chad canals being caught and find for cheating more than any other team in that rain.

Yeah I doubt winning 83 races had much to do with it. Unlike the loser Newman

Not necessarily the 7, but the five in a row did it. Also there is one meeting that happened after his crew chief and spotter got disqualified, after the meeting, all punish was lifted. Like nothing

Not really because he won under the older playoffs where there was no cuts then after and even one time before the playoffs.

Amen!!!

@@CrayTom I was just making a point that as racers. we accept and adapt to whatever points system is being used. We had very little input into the points system that was used. I like point systems that reward consistency, but I'd like to know what your plan is.

I am not a Fan of the Playoffs in NASCAR, Points do not Matter anymore, Win and You're in and One Race to Decide a Champion are not the Way to Go and same with Rounds and Eliminations. Personally I would like to go back to either the 2004-2013 Chase for the Championship Format or go to a Full Season Points Format (F1 Full Season or IndyCar Full Season). If NASCAR goes to a Full Season Format again, this is what I would do to the Points format to make every Race Exciting again, and how to make Points matter for all 36 Races again. Here's the Catch, only the Top 25 Get Points, and I will keep Stage Racing, but after each stage the Drivers keep Racing. Note: the Length of Each Stage will be like this: • 1st Stage - 15% • 2nd Stage - 25% • 3rd Stage - 60% Note: The Coke 600 will now be 3 Stages instead of the Mandatory 4 With that out of the way, here is my NASCAR Race and Points format: 1st - 60 points 2nd - 50 3rd - 45 4th - 40 5th - 37 6th - 34 7th - 31 8th - 28 9th - 25 10th - 22 11th - 20 12th - 18 13th - 16 14th - 14 15th - 12 16th - 10 17th - 9 18th - 8 19th - 7 20th - 6 21st - 5 22nd - 4 23rd - 3 24th - 2 25th - 1 Stage Points Remain the Same, with only the Top 10 at the end of each stage getting points. Bonus Points: • 5 Points for Leading a Lap • 5 Points for Leading the most Laps • 5 Points for winning the Pole With this Points format, it encourages everyone to Race Well and Run Up Front all throughout the Race, and it Encourages Pit Strategy as well This Points Format is a Hybrid of NASCARs Current Points Format (Stage Racing) and Old Points Format (with a points gap for each Position and Bonus Points for Leading Laps), F1 Points (with only the Select Few getting Points) and IndyCar Points (with Pole getting bonus points)

Good job in the detail option of a points system...

Imagine he won the championship with no top 5

that could have happened if he made the final 4 and the others wrecked out

Who??

Newman was a never was... he was only decent in penske equipment... and the year in the video he lost to the guy he traded cars with...

And he had to wall Larson (someone who actually has talent) to even try to lose a championship... he always was just in the way

@@tanjirouzumaki144 lol man has won every major race,has a ton of poles, and is almost always in the top 10 in points.Usually does it with subpar equipment too.You’re telling me the RCR car from 2014 had any business being in the chase,let alone the top 2?Cmon man drives the wheels off of whatever he gets into

He was never really championship material. He was a good (but not great) driver and at one point amazing at qualifying, but NEVER future champion material!

LOL hows anyone influenfer gonna be ranking drivers without upsetting half there fan base. this seems pointless. whats to gain. it only brings hate. people only respect there own list.

@@soulfly3438 I believe we are all mature enough to look at someone's list and rather than get upset about it, have a conversation that leads for more respect for a particular driver. Having debates like this can introduce someone to a new perspective on a subject. For example maybe a new driver has never seen old tapes of Jeff Burton. Having a look through the vid comments and seeing people ranking him highly, might make them curious enough to look up 90s nascar races. By starting debate, we only grow the passion for the sport. Spotting difference of opinion has never been a bad thing.

But Chase has raced fewer seasons in Cup total than Terry raced between his titles

Last season he was not as far as wins go. But looking at his drivers rating, average running position, most fastest laps and others and he was seen as the best driver last season. He just had some of the worst luck if you remember. I think what last season did was interesting. The playoff actually allowed for the best driver to win when the old system wouldn't have. This season on the other hand he is statistically the 3rd best driver, but really Larson, Hamlin and him are very close on paper. Again through the wins don't show it.

@@kyleraymer5581 the playoff system got the championship 4 right this year

@@coppha3037 And it's worthless if Larson doesn't win this one race, after winning over twice as many as his nearest competitor all year. Just like Gordon got screwed out of a totally dominant year.

Yeah but look at it from NASCAR's point of view he's the Golden boy the fans favorite they seem to favor Elliot because Elliot brings in the fan base they'll protect him anyway they can to be sure he can get in and win what a fluke last year that he wins on the last race wrong they got some politic problems in NASCAR it's pretty obvious it'll be interesting to see who figures out the new car faster than anybody else I will say Hendrix will do it simply because they have more money than anybody and money wins races.

It was in 2019

I couldn’t agree more. NASCAR died the same day Dale Earnhardt died.

I don't mind the lucky dog rule, but the stages thing leaves me cold ❄

Well,he did it.Before the race even started the tv guys suggested that very possibility.

As someone who has watched NASCAR for about 50 years now. I hate to say it, but NASCAR will never be as popular as it once was. These drivers don't have the personality of the drivers in the 70s and 80s, because, especially in Cup, they're all millionaire businessmen now with loads of sponsors and very little chance to be much more than arrogant prima donnas that complain about their race cars all race long even when they're leading the race. Added to that is the fact that no one wants to say out loud: it simply isn't as dangerous anymore. The added safety of the drivers is of course great in one respect. But when you see these horrific crashes and the driver is being interviewed two minutes later without a scratch on him, there's that element that's not there anymore, and that is what drew a lot of people to NASCAR.

A lot of old NASCR fans are either too old to attend races, or gone(died). NASCAR's best years were when there was a huge fan favorite(s) running. Petty, Pearson, Junior Johnson, The Allison's, Bill Elliot, Kulwicki, Earnhardt, Gordon, etc brought fans to the track. NASCAR isn't as track fan friendly as it used to be, one problem is the start times are for TV and going to a race means you will be heading home at 6 or 7 instead of 4 or 5, and many fans travel to races and have to work Monday.
