Man going back and listening to the old commentary makes me miss and appreciate Benny Parsons more and more every time I hear it.

Scott Riggs is an example of wrong place, wrong time, wrong opportunities. After having two amazing years in the Busch series he basically was on two teams that were already starting to decline and since then never got to show his potential becoming the next James Buescher.

I’ll never forget his run in the 2005 Daytona 500. He was so fast. Got a 4th place finish and was up front all race. He was always a dark horse for me at the plate tracks. Shame his career didn’t work out.

While on the subject of valvoline do Nascar Busts: Patrick Carpentier

I personally thought the 10 car had a beautiful paint scheme

Scott Riggs really should have been the next big thing. He had so much talent and showed so much potential from 2004-06, but he always seemed to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He joined MB2 as they were falling apart, and then Evernham when they falling apart too. Riggs was just a victim of being with the wrong team constantly

this hurt to click on as i was a fan of riggs as he was coming up through the nascar ranks

Riggs seemed like a pretty solid prospect before going to Everham. I think he ultimately got sucked into the Everham blackhole that hurt everybody's career unless they were maybe Bill Elliott and Kasey Kahne.

The moral of these NASCAR Bust videos? If you want to have a good career in NASCAR, better make sure your name isn’t Scott.

Oh, the lovely lovely Scott Riggs...

I have a series idea: Races to be remembered or Races to be forgotten. Like the 2007 Daytona 500 (Remembered) or the 2008 Brickyard 400 (Hopefully forgotten).

Riggs could easily won a Truck Series Championship but his stunt in Cup series killed his entire career.

I live in Durham, NC which is basically the same city Riggs is from. We have some mutual friends and Ive met him on several occasions and we even got to hang with him in the in field at S. Boston Speedway during his truck days. On top of being a very humble and cool guy, he had the talent to win races obviously when he was in good equipment as seen in his truck and Infinty days. Til this day I believe going with Evernham was the move that doomed his career. They just weren't good enough. Now I don't know how true it is, but I was told by a source close to him that DEI wanted him, but he chose not to sign because for one, we all heard the rumors about Mrs Earnhaedt not being the easiest person to work for and I also was told they wanted too much rights to Riggs. Was told he couldn't make a buck without DEI getting a cut if he signed on that line. It will always leave me wondering what could have been if he had though. With that being said I hate to see him being referred to as a "bust" although I understand. Despite that he'll still always be one of my favorite drivers! He also kicks ass on a motocross track which is what he did before he went to four wheels and being a motocrosser at heart myself that's just more props I have to give the man

Good stuff as always! He sure kept the fab shop busy with all the torn up sheetmetal, that is for sure. Never was the same after Jon Wood dumped his shot at the Busch title away at Homestead in 03.

Scott had like the championship lead entering Rockingham, lost it and dropped like second or third entering Miami. Crashes on lap one and ended up sixth. Shows how intense that 2003 NBS title chase was. Vickers wasn't really a factor until his IRP win and had Herzog had the sponsorship, Todd Bodine would've been in that mix too. Todd is arguably a Cup bust when you look how often he bounced back and forth from Cup to Busch.

I was a huge Johnny Benson fan and it made me so upset to see Scott Riggs take over the #10 car. At least Johnny was able to go on to win a Truck Championship, but I’m still pretty salty about Scott Riggs taking his Cup ride.

We need a Danica NASCAR busts

That moment with Kurt Busch was rather restrained for Kurt

Iv always appreciated your videos. You don’t ramble on & you always let the video evidence speak for itself.

Finally! Scott Riggs had so much potential, but everything just went wrong for him... NASCAR Busts: Trevor Bayne/Todd Kluever/David Stremme.

Awesome video man! These keep getting better and better!

This video hurts. Find me a fan that DIDN’T want Riggsy to succeed. Helluva great guy.

I figured you would get to this guy, I always thought Scott Riggs was going to be an awesome addition to the NASCAR series but it ended up regressing. I always say that he was a good driver but he went to the wrong team/owner combination because he was a good Busch driver and his likability and his Southern roots would have been nice to have in the series for a good while.

Underrated driver and I’ve seen much bigger busts if he is one. He wasn’t in the greatest situations in the Cup Series in my opinion.

I remember reading an article on Scott Riggs on how he declined an offer to drive for Hendrick in the Busch series because he felt loyal to ppc racing and how he decided evernham to replace bill in the #9 after 2003

Good Videos. I don't know if you take requests, but David Stremme. Drove for Ganassi and Penske, in cars where the previous drivers won races, and barely did anything.

Scott Riggs could of been a good decent driver who could get a win or two each year if he was in good equipment and if he wasn’t wrecking every week every some of the wreaks he was in weren’t his fault except for Kurt

Love these videos & your choice in instrumentals.

NASCAR Busts: Trevor Bayne and Danica Patrick

Nice video. Keep up the good work

I remember as a kid their was a fighter like meet and greet in Fontana & I overheard one of the kids tell a guy im a Scott Riggs fan & even I felt bad

Nice Work! 10/10

Is Almirola the only good driver thats ever been in the 10

I miss the old days of Benny in the booth I loved listening to him call races, but I wouldn’t put Scott as a bust I mean stat wise I see it totally but he wasn’t really in the greatest of equipment the majority of his career

Riggs was one of those guys who was good in lower series like trucks and xfinity but sucked in cup.

I apologize if you’ve done one on Scott Wimmer but please do one so Wimmer33fan can lose his mind 😂

Always loved running that Stanley Tools Dodge in NASCAR racing games. The 10 car was a badass ride 😢

@ Black Flags Matter what do you think about toyota running the supra in the xfinity series next season?

I know Scott Riggs in person I also know his son layne Riggs who races late model cars in North Carolina

Next Nascar busts video on David stremme.

what a sad night when you see a hauler like Valvoline leaving early in the weekend

7:25 is that Rodney childers

What about a NASCAR bust: Jimmy Spencer is NASCAR Bust

I have an idea for a new series. How about the rise of race teams and the fall of race teams. Like the rise of Stewart-Haas, and the fall of Bud Moore Engineering.

What if it is just the number 10? Multiple drivers have had issues with it, just like after Richard Petty retired the 43 just isn't the same.

Like Steve Park, I feel like Riggs is most known for his flip than anything else

You know I have played the Scott Riggs Mission on Nascar 06 but have never seen the actual crash with Kurt Busch I just remember having Kurt or Scott having a crazy wreck sometimes during it

This is just an example of how some are just meant to be full time Truck or Xfinity drivers. I never understood how you can have success in those series and then struggle so badly in cup it's just crazy.

His 2008 season with Haas before Tony Stewart was so underrated...

Great music choice sir

One of the most underrated nascar announcers is Ned Jarrett. Very smart guy who knew what he was talking about, and he and Ken Squier were a good fit

Can you do a video about drivers who jumped ship from one Motorsport to Nascar

I'm not a huge racing fan so I'm not all that knowledgeable, but it's amazing to me that you can have a crash like that and walk away fine. That seems like it'd be pure luck, but I'm sure it's more about how safe they've made the cars.

That list of cars that failed to qualify for a random Atlanta race at 5:43 👀 mid-200s entry lists were longggg

Amazing how much Scott Wimmer and Scott Riggs had in common

Wow! I remember Scott Riggs I'm old as hell man 😧

You should do a last starts for people like jeff gordon, richard petty etc

I Still Remember The Talladega Flip From Scott Riggs 2005

Scott Riggs would have been a superstar if he took over the 25 Hendrick car and not Casey Mears

Lets remember he led basically every lap of the Open in 2006 with MB2 to transfer into the all-star race. Remember that he was racing against guys in top tier equipment in that Open like Yeley, Hamlin, Vickers, etc. Wish this dude could've made it stick.

What happened with the 10 car in 06 was Evernham bought it, and Riggs was signed onto valvoline so he ended up bringing the sponsor along with him.

That background music sounds like there's a loose belt under the hood.

That was the Nicest move I ever seen Jr make!

This was when NASCAR was at its best every week you had 50 something cars show up to try and make the race so qualifying was always awesome and the races actually had action now you have to wait for a road course or a super speedway

Need a David Ragan bust video, or maybe a David Gilliland one.

I remember his Busch seasons well he came close to Winning it I think in 03

Whats that beat name?

I think if he didn't blow the Coke 600 that 1 year we wouldn't be talking about him being a bust.

The same Scott Riggs I saw take a dominant win at Nashville in 2003...

IDK why he didn't do that good all I remember was he was the one guy who would always find a way to be in the big one for some reason.

Well he made people be scared to be near him

always felt like riggs could've been a winner with a stronger team.

Talk about rags to riches for Rodney Childers

Do pls a NASCAR Casey mears bust

We need a NASCAR Busts Danica Patrick

Man look at all those fans at a TRUCK race not even a Cup series race, the good ol days

The Valvoline car and CAT car missing the same race is why NASCAr now has automatic qualifying.

I have to admit watching nascar growing up I was already a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan in cup but who to follow in the lower ranks? It was Scott Riggs shame he really never got the opportunities he deserved. :(

Riggs and Wimmer were the reason NASCAR introduced the Top 35 rule in 2005. No one would have cared about changing the provisional rules for 50+ car entry lists if it weren’t for Atlanta 2004.

Ray needed the sponsorship, he saw the ship starting to sink and had to do anything he could to keep it going. I liked Riggs as a guy but he was never "Cup material" IMO. He was one of the few who didn't take a start and park at first believing it was wrong and it ultimately sped up his demise in the Series. I am waiting for a bust episode on Mike Skinner though, truck success aside, he was a failure in Cup reminiscent of Park when it came to a bad break on some injuries but he never closed the deal in a Cup car.

The music in the background.

He deserved better :(

NASCAR Busts: Brendan Gaughan? Bobby Hamilton Jr.? Johnny Sauter? Travis Kvapil? David Gilliland? Stacy Compton? Stanton Barrett? Sam Hornish Jr.? Larry Foyt? Todd Kluever? Erik Darnell? Colin Braun? Joey Coulter?

Please do a NASCAR Bust Buckshot Jones. That guy wrecked more cars than Danica Scott Riggs Scott Wimmer Derrike Cope Chad Little Trevor Bayne and David Ragan combined

Great video, but what’s with the anxiety causing background music?

He has another highlight. 4th in the 2005 Daytona 500

NASCAR Busts: Dario Franchitti Bad Seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2014 Bad Seasons: Carl Edwards 2012 Bad Seasons: Joey Logano 2017 Championship Seasons: Martin Truex Jr 2017 Championship Seasons: Tony Stewart 2011 Championship Seasons: Chase Elliott 2014

To be fair he did finish 4th in the 05 Daytona 500

Riggs had some sweet paint schemes tho!

Riggs was actually really solid following 2005 he just happened to be the third car in a terrible evernham

I don't get how some of these team owners think. You see a guy that has a terrible record, wrecks constantly, is always at the bottom of the points rankings... And they want to bring this rolling catastrophe aboard. Wha...??

Bad seasons: Ford, 2009

Riggs won multiple truck races, multiple Busch races, and came two races away from a Busch series championship. Plus he overperformed in the Evernham 10 car in 2006. I'd say that's not a bust.

Is that window pain at the beginning?!???!

He was in Haas racing before it was rebranded as Stewart Haas and he was not retained.

I remember Andy Petree critiquing his stats saying " his numbers aren't terrible"....that was enough said.

Well I am here today and I know his son is about to make his first Truck start at the track where Kyle Busch and Ross Chastain also had their first starts.

He actually has wins in both Xfinity and trucks. He just didn’t have a good cup ride

Bad seasons: Danica Patrick 2017 (or anytime in her career) or just do a busts video on her.

Who was better? Scott Riggs in NASCAR or in WCW?
