This might need an update or something. The “dick” pic, wasn’t him

I feel bad for Zach. That kid did nothing wrong but his brother's actions meant he couldn't do anything online.

Wonderfully put and said video. I knew him from the nascar 09 lobby days in 2010. Hanged out with him a ton online and in xbox live chat. I knew he was a little awkward but didn't think anything of it cause of his autism. I personally feel like after his dad died something changed in him to feel so inclined to burn money in the way that he did. He had it all and blew it just as quickly. The whole situation personally hurt me a lot cause, this is someone i hanged out with a lot. I always have trust issues with people and this just reminded me to be careful who i talk to.

6:19 you could tell that Michael Waltrip had absolutely no clue how to describe the sponsor

For those that don’t know, a girl won a copy of a NASCAR Heat game from Joseph. After that, he sent her flowers and cards 8 times! 2 of them were on Valentine’s Day.

As soon as i saw the name Jason Jacoby come up on screen, i knew things were gonna spiral into disaster, like the stern of the Titanic on its way to the bottom of the ocean

I think the worst Joseph ever could've been charged with is indecent exposure to a minor - which even then it wasn't done in person but through online messaging. I'll never understand why he went after ladies just under legal age, he avoided the question when it all came out. That Dustin McGee guy was very invasive and already had his own criminal record, so it didn't surprise me. Zachary quit his channel immediately, which sucks... he shouldn't have had to. Joyce did a lot of great things vicariously through her kids, and she had great intent; but the sponsorships went to waste as they only brought in like 15 viewers per stream on Twitch before just shutting it all down in like 2019. She sent me a PS4 in 2016 so I could actually participate in their streams I was moderating, but didn't want me telling anyone. It is the same one I still use these days, though.

I think Joseph was one of the first KZfaqrs I subscribed to. I'm also a NASCAR fan with autism, so I felt a connection there. Shame that my first experience with the bad side of KZfaq was because of him.

Genuinely makes me sad. As a NASCAR fan with autism myself, Joseph was one of my idols as a kid. I'd have never dreamt he'd turn out to be such a gross creep. Guess you never really know people

I used to watch Joseph back in 2012. Stopped watching around 2016 as I felt his content was getting stale. I don’t think he was the same again after his dad passed away. Such a disappointment.

Almost a year and a half later, I still can't believe that someone I looked up to since 2016 decided to do something so disgusting and very unforgivable and act like what he did was right.

I was a fan of his back in the day as it something different and he seemed okay. Man was I wrong. Its a shame he chose this path as he had so many opportunities to be okay and enjoy life and well he threw all of that away. Its a shame but it also is good to see you showing his flaws and showing people how many creeps have gotten fame on social media. Its a sad situation all the way around.

joseph was the first nascar youtuber i watched when i got into nascar, myself like a lot of people grew to respect. its a shame what losing a parent and/or having more money then they know what to do with will do to people. hopefully he gets help or is getting help now.

Great video. Joseph was probably one of the first youtubers I followed (if not literally the first) as I was getting into NASCAR gaming and wanted to know how good those games were. And, at least for my 13-14 year old self, he was really entertaining to see to me, specially with his "career mode" videos (it was basically season mode with a created team various times, but still). Then around 2016 I slowly stopped watching him as my interests began to change and that year's NASCAR game was particularly bad. But I still remember everything that happened with his dad, and how he was around in many races and even was friends with Ryan Vargas at some point. And then all of a sudden I see all the accusations and dick picks pop up (quite ironic, after his favourite driver won the championship), as well as some things people on Twitter pointed out from previous videos of his (like having Hailee Deegan's 18th birthday marked in his calendar, for example). And since then it's like he dissapeared and besides those legal threats he hasn't even been heard from since November 2020 (not even any updates on his legal situation). No videos from him or his brother, who had a channel named Mangum05 which was basically a classic car channel that overtime expanded into gaming. It's a shame everything that happened. I also agree that what happened with his dad changed him for the worst. Didn't know about he being friends with Jason Jacoby though.

On the one hand I'm glad no one noticed the fact that racing sponsorship give literally no return on investment, on the other hand it's horrifying to realise that the entire sport is built on a house of cards that could fall at any moment.

Seeing that sponsor on a NASCAR racecar still gives me the chills honestly

Ironically enough, it was just the other day that I randomly remembered about him and his sponsoring of Ryan Sieg's cars. I had no idea about what happened and I still didn't get the full picture when looking between the KZfaq and Twitter pages. So, I thank you for bringing the story to us all.

I actually have an interesting story about the other Lombard brother. So over four years ago I was in culinary school in Florida and there was a girl in my class who was dating Zack Lombard. At the time the brothers were in California. He was way older than her which was weird.

I used to watch dude in middle school, I had no idea about all this.

Man Watching him when I was a kid was really fun Wasn’t the best content but very nostalgic Thanks for making this video Austin it was really good :)

The sponsorship was easy to overlook at the time, but my gawd that’s damning now.

Great video just gotta be careful who you talk about. Glad someone is doing it. Need more people like you and Brandon

This whole story is just sad. He was one of the very first KZfaqrs I watched and regularly saw their videos back in 2015. I remember being so excited when I saw him get the sponsorship with Sieg. Seeing his downfall play out is something I couldn't have even imagined back then

0:58: Act 1: N2SC4R 2:14: Act 2: A Death in The Family 2:57: Act 3: Financial Windfall 4:36: Act 4: Jason Jacoby 6:09: Act 5: What ROI? 8:47: Act 6: It Gets Weird Now 10:20: Epilogue

That's not really how motorsports sponsorship works, it's admittedly useless without what they call "Sponsorship Activation", that essentially means things like bringing the car to events, fan interaction, Commercials and stuff like that, i seriously doubt he took any of the instruction and did that

Racing sponsorship doesn’t work without a proper activation plan or hospitality. Or an actual product to sell. I don’t think anyone on the marketing side of Motorsports would be surprised by the lack of views for his tiny KZfaq page.

As soon as I started seeing the videos about him being a creep I gave him the big delete, there was something I found weird about him and the call out videos helped with solidify my weird vibe about him

I've had my fair share of encounters with Joseph. The first instance was in 2016 on NASCAR Heat when I accidentally wrecked him and he basically sent me death threats which lead to me reporting him on xbox. Fast forward to 2020 on NASCAR Heat 5, I joined his lobby during his very last twitch stream and he wrecked me so I sent him a message basically saying what did you do that for. He messaged me back and said it was revenge for 2016. He remembered that day I wrecked him for FOUR YEARS.

I disliked Joseph the first time I heard about him back in 2012. I always considered him to be a very arrogant person. When I saw through his Twitter that he was liking pictures of young girls, I felt like something would eventually happen to him. I was right. He got what he deserved. Just a shame he’s not in jail.

He also impacted Canadian racing a lot, by sponsoring a Micra Cup team. That team went belly up as his cheques bounced and ran without sponsorship, out of FX Lassus' own pocket.

“Act IV: Jason Jacoby” Because of course.

Something to add here. I remember racing online with him on one of the Heat games, think it was 4. He had a couple of his buddies take people out so he could win, me included. I always race clean and was leading on multiple occasions that night, when I would be taken out intentionally by one of his buddies in his chat who was multiple laps down.

Very cool video / journalism piece. Well done!

Hello. I stumbled across this video by chance. Just popped up in my recommended feed and I thought I'd watch it. Well, since I'm here, I'll let you all read this : I was once a mod for Lombard Bros Gaming. I usually don't talk about it, but it was because of Lombard Bros. Gaming, I've met awesome people who i call my friends even to this day. I'll try and make this short : After I was unmodded from LBG after the spring Martinsville 2018 race (if you remember the 2018 season, it was baaaaaad in the first half and ramped up to being awesome in the 2nd half) due to my griping about how the season was going with Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick taking win after win, I slowly started to distance myself from LBG. There was no ill will towards them, I just wanted to focus on my own stuff. I very rarely showed up to their streams. and then I loosely heard about what happened in November of 2020 through a friend of mine I met through the Lombard Bros. Gaming channel, but never got the full story. Nor did I ask. And I really didn't think about it until now. I knew it was bad. But it didn't know it was *that* bad.

I wonder if Ryan Sieg & Ryan Vargas even remember Joseph

Wow... I totally knew about JaCoby being crazy. I had no idea about Lombard. I was one of those subscribers that didn't really watch much. I just wanted to follow fellow nascar fans. I remember hearing something weird happened, but at the time was really busy with work. I barely had enough time to watch races themselves.

I remember watching his NASCAR career mod races as well as the one season he did in F1. I even still to this day remember the day it all came crashing down. I was shocked. I don’t think he’s ever coming back…if he does, I don’t know if there’s anyone who would be willing to welcome him back

Man I followed this kid for years, never processed the whole situation.... Wild world

I used to be happy for him when he sponsored Sieg. I personally never saw any red flags or anything wrong at the time. How stupid was I? Sheesh.... Awesome explanation and thanks for the information! Great vid! Also as a person who is Autistic, I do not claim that creepo

I watched him for years. I was young and never thought he was this bad. I hope he's gotten better but I think his dad dying didn't help him at all. I haven't heard anything about him since the drama. But I hope he's better than what he used to be but who knows. Great video Austin!

It’s sucks so bad Joseph went down this path but I still watch his old videos just to remember the good old times they still make me laugh to this day but it really sucks that someone you’ve loved for so long becomes a villain

I used to be a fan of Lombard himself but due to the fact that Brandon aka BlueJimmie48Fan told me that my feelings must be about the guy you told us about and now that I know, I’ll have to be careful who I should trust and who I should count on. Very well done Austin, keep up the great work and I shall learn a lot on what to do.

I had only ever watched a few of his videos on Family Game Night 3 of all games years back. Was looking up that game for some nostalgia, saw his channel again, saw no uploads since 2 years ago, looked at his Twitter, saw the apology, and just HAD to see what this rabbit hole was about.

I was a big fan back in 13-17 I was a nascar gamer myself so I enjoyed his videos when I was younger. I also had an off feeling about him but always gave him the Benefit of the doubt. I feel bad for his brother Zach I always liked him too bad he got roped into this

Really good video. A little too much silence in the transitions though. A few times I had to look at my phone to see if I'd disconnected. Thanks for the content and keep it up!

This is entirely shocking to me. I remember stumbling across his channel very quickly when I really got into watching NASCAR gaming videos on youtube as I didn't have a console at the time. Clicked on the video because the name in the title was so familiar but I was like "there's no way he was a sponsor and I didn't know." Unfortunately it seems every great and fun channel from youtube's golden age as I call it has a horrific and spiraling downfall.

I saw him at the Bristol night race in 2020. I almost started a conversation with him. Then all this happened, so glad I didn't.

man, i remember his channel, it was the best thing ever, i loved his joseph vs zach videos too, now im ashamed.

I used to love Joseph's videos such as his NT2004, NASCAR 15, and the Vs. Zachary videos even though his career videos would get boring bc he would win a lot and become op. It's sad to see once arguably one of the best NASCAR KZfaqrs now fade into obscurity all bc he was trying to hook up with girls 10 years younger than him. It's sad to see someone like this do such a thing bc I liked him he seemed like a generally good dude even though he did some weird things from time to time but I never thought anything of it I just thought of them as random or sometimes funny but little did we all know what would eventually become of Joseph. So long Joseph, may the NASCAR community remember you as formerly one of the best NASCAR content creators now a creep and a pedo we don't associate with.

Honestly, as fucked up as this all is, promoting your small KZfaq channel on a whole ass nascar car is kind of a flex. EDIT: Let me be clear, I don’t condone any of this.

Surprisingly, Jeff Gordon still follows his Twitter.

I first watched Joseph during the last few months of middle school, I was in 8'th grade. This was also the time I first watched NASCAR. It's a shame he destroyed his career by doing what he did, but it serves him right.

I used to watch his video from 2014 onwards, i always wait each days for his new video on the let's play. Man...... Cant believe he is a freak

I mean the thing with Nature's Bakery and SHR, if a company that a consumer can walk into their local grocery store and buy their product and they end up sponsoring a major NASCAR Cup Series team with actual celebrity Danica Patrick as the driver and they aren't happy with their ROI, then of course the small KZfaq channel sponsoring a Xfinity team that's mid pack at best isn't going to do any numbers

I honestly thought that it was his brother that had something wrong with him because when I was watching the Joseph Vs. Zachary series (i still do to this day for his brother and not Joe.) I suspected something was wrong with his brother and not Joseph.

Looking back, I’m starting to think that Jacoby was using Joseph to try and get a ride somehow knowing Jason

This is one of the most disappointing and infuriating instances of this happening. I found him through his old minecraft videos and subscribed to him all the way back in 2013 and watched him all the time and slowly stopped watching because I grew up but then I found out about this and was disturbed and disgusted. It's sad and infuriating

6:57 The reason why it wasn't ruined was, ironically, BECAUSE of this very reason. No one really gives a shit about the companies who sponsor teams or participants in any sport, generally, full stop (Remember when Commodore was the Jersey Sponsor for Chelsea F.C a couple of years before they went bankrupt, remember how Rich Energy got into F1 and the BTCC? And remember when a Nigerian 419 Scammer killed Tom Walkinshaw Racing[TWR] within 3 years?). Lombard's obscurity coupled with the fact that his checks didn't bounce when payday came calling was how he got away with it for over a year.

So basically this guy became a pycho and went crazy after younger girls sounds about right for someone who lost a parent and became crazy rich after

Came here for the good content got treated with a cameo appearance with that 00 paint. Thanks for the shout for small brands that aren’t cheating anyone and loves the sport. Mane ‘n Tail is a great American company in a niche market. Edit: oh Jesus all fucking terrible terrible NASCAR timelines since 2018 ends at Jason Jacoby I swear to god lmfao

Hopefully, he's using what money he has left to get therapy, sounds like he needs it.

I always remember watching his nascar 15 videos

Wow I really used to enjoy his videos back in 2016 or so... I had no idea any of this had happened... kinda glad I fell away from his channel after learning this, but I still feel kinda bad for him for how things have turned out for him, but actions have consequences.

Ryan is kind of a beast... They could have potentially got a good return. Interesting video

No way how have I never know about this!!! Awesome video want more info

There actually was a photo of him bowling that came off Snapchat (forgot who posted it), 4 months after he left social media. It was in Georgia too. I actually have the photo still too

I remember Joseph when he popped into the scene, I think the algorithm linked me to him and I thought he was ok, always wondered what happened to him because him sponsors a car was always weird as shit as a small time KZfaqr, but holy *shit* I did not expect this story to go where it did

Recognized his name but couldn't remember where. Used to watch his gaming videos and especially some of the iracing leagues he was involved with when I first started getting into iracing. Never had a clue about the real life stuff that happened. Such a sad yet informative story. Feel bad for the girls he harrassed.

Don’t forget that one time he worked for a fake media company.

I am leaving this comment without watching the video because as you explain the script to me I can feel my blood pressure skyrocketing.

Good video, Austin. Only complaint was with the video clips. Could be a bit bigger.

Low key looked at his account to see where he’s been I was shocked about all that has happened to him

Mostly well done minus the part about going to a stripper or Onlyfans if you're lonely. What a bizarre suggestion.

I remember watching his videos back in 2012

I've been on scene since 2011 and I've only heard about this just now

I really really hope “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” was intentional

I'm friends with him on facebook and he gets tagged in family photos every now and then, seems to be out and on vacation a lot

I feel guilty about having the hero card from him now

I like to name paint schemes a lot (example: Jamie McMurray 2019 Daytona 500 McDonalds scheme, “The Pattywagon”) so once Joseph was exposed I named Sieg’s paint scheme “The Jail-Bird”

If I was Jeff Gordon or Chase Elliott I would be mortified to have a fan like Joseph

Might as well chime in my experience with Joseph since everyone else is doing it. I never knew Joseph personally but I did have some interactions with him that did not help his case with me. I discovered him in 2015 when one of his NASCAR '15 videos popped up in my recommendations one day. His videos got me into console gaming and I got an Xbox One and Forza Motorsport 6 for Christmas that year. I watched a lot of his videos until about 2017 when I started to lose interest as my sense of quality content was maturing and his videos got boring and generic compared to others. I still watched the occasional video if I found it to be really interesting. I created a Twitter account in 2017 and followed him on there just because I could. In 2019 he got involved in a heated argument between me and JettMDK (Who I despised at the time and I still dislike him to this day) and tried to shut me down. Of course I was never going to budge as I'm the type to fight all the way until the end. But after that day I unfollowed him on Twitter and unsubscribed from his KZfaq. I only support people that don't try to be the hero by being childish. I'm a voice of calm and reason. I had a grudge on Lombard ever since and hoped that one day he could be taken down a peg. That day came on that fateful day in late 2020. To think that I defended Joseph when he got "exposed" for being a "pedophile". Just shows how much of a cesspool Twitter had become and still is. But after the dick pic news came out I thought it was for the best that Joseph left the scene. I feel Joseph got way further than he should've in the NASCAR digital world. Apparently he was on a podcast and was a commentator on the NORC iRacing series at one point. Yes very deserving of someone who makes content that is average at best. I'm not saying my content is any better but his shouldn't've gotten him as far as it did. But he's gone now and I don't see him ever coming back, and imo that's a good thing. There are now plenty of other NASCAR gaming channels to fill the void. My favorite of them all is Micheal Mrucz as his videos are top quality and his style of comedy and humor just doesn't exist in anyone else.

This was more sad than anything

Great video. Joseph was the first KZfaqr I watched regularly, like i vividly remember being at school and waiting to get home and watch a video he uploaded. as time went on i kinda slowly stopped watching his videos anyway i had some things going on in my life and there was a couple months that I was away from youtube (right around this time things went to crap with him) when I came back months went by and I remembered his channel one night when i was feeling kinda nostalgic so I searched his name on youtube and found out that he was a complete moron. I think I will always be a little unhappy that i feel i wasted so much time watching his videos.

There's an article from last July saying a Joseph Lombard is in jail on possession of child pornography charges.The age matches up but the location doesn't match (guy was arrested in Virginia not Georgia) and the picture is a guy much heavier. Still could be him though

This was crazy, I never knew about this. If I was in his situation I'd be doing my best to make a name for myself as a driver, easily. Also, I've never seen your channel before and I'm gonna have to check it out, seems like you've got good stuff.

So.... we can assume when this video disappears that you also will eventually get a cease and desist

Dude is wack. Had pics of Hailee Deegan when she was underage in bikinis & such, then got caught on Instagram having her birthday written & circled in huge letters “Hailee’s 18th birthday!” Like Lombard is just flatout weird…

I had a bad feeling around 2019 about him after his dad died he seemed to get bad

Can't wait for you to get your very own cease and desist letter! :D

Surprised you didn't mention the fact that he harassed Hallie Deegan so badly she got a restraining order on him

I’m surprised Joseph ever had “fans”

He always reminded me of a Great Value Jeff Gordon. He's on my Facebook friends list but never does anything.

I used to watch him back in the day but a couple years later I knew he was shady and he had shown his true colors to the nascar community, yeah sponsoring a race car is one of my dreams but I would never want to go down the path he did, im glad he's gone he's nothing but a creepy guy in my opinion GOOD RIDDANCE

4:57 BY GAWD KING! THAT'S JASON JACOBY'S MUSIC! *Jason starts to go on an unhinged rant accusing everyone in the motorsports community and industry of the most horrifying things imaginable*

Man this is so sad.

Yeah I remember when that came out about him.

So I was really good friends with Joseph Lombard when I was racing with him in NASCAR 09 and I gotta Say. This does not really suprise me at all. Me and him have kinda had a fall out after NASCAR 09 video game. We faught and I dont think he ever got over that issue. Well I wish him the best on whatever he is doing now and I have tried to reach out to him a couple of times before all of these incedents but he just doesnt reply. Oh Well!

It's quite disappointing considering I grew up watching N2SC4R back before I had a ps3 and couldn't get the newer NASCAR games at the time. I was definitely part of the Gen Z'ers who were getting into NASCAR back when he first blew up

I used to be a huge fan of Joseph and I was excited about sponsoring Ryan Sieg’s sponsor but after all what happened in November 2020, I stopped supporting him and I’ve stopped supporting him since that incident. I sadly didn’t know this incident for awhile until that day in November 2020 happened, I felt stupid supporting him back then but thank god I don’t support this clown 🤡after that incident in November 2020.

i remember when I used to watch him man
