This one is sure to spark some debate! Certainly had a few good (dis)honorable mentions that could have made the list. Who did I leave out that you think was a top 5 bust of the decade? Let me know!
I think you forgot Brian France lol
Kahne maybe
I'm Suprised Daniel Suarez is not on there

Errett Van Dee you forgot Danica Patrick
Errett Van Dee I don't think Stewart-Haas expected her to win I think they expected her to bring in money so I don't really think it's a bust they probably got what they expected
@Kaiden Vids they kept her until she lost her sponsors, so they were probably getting some good money from them

Danica sucks
Eric: top 5 NASCAR busts in 2010s
Danica Patrick: *hold my broken car parts*

DNG you should have went with -- Danica Patrick: Hold my brakes. Because God knows I never do.

Eric doing a Bust video?!
.... aaannnnd once again that will do it for another video, thank you so much for watching.... this is Black Flags Matter.... catch you next time....
*W A I T, T H A T S I L L E G A L*
Black Flags Matter, you could make a “Trash Team of the Year”.... like Roush in 2015-2018 or RCR 2019
He's stealing your thunder dude fight him! 🤣🤣🤣
As Jaret once said 🎵"whatever you can do, I can do better"🎵
Alternate title:
Drivers who sucked the most
Surprised Brian France was not on this list.
#1: Jimmie Johnson
...wait wrong video
.... aaannnnd once again that will do it for another video, thank you so much for watching.... this is Black Flags Matter.... catch you next time....
I don’t consider Travis Pastrana a bust because I had 0 expectations for him. I knew he wasn’t gonna do anything good
How did he not get sponsorship?!?! Thats crazy. Maybe if he had consistent sponsorship, he could have hung in there through the learning curve. (I mean this in the sense that companies should have been lining up to sponsor him in NASCAR.)
only driver I even liked out of this list is Trevor Bayne, I really liked him.
I really like AD tbh
I liked Trevor Bayne a lot too
I think Dylan kwasniewski deserves another chance in the Xfinity series. As for Danica Patrick welp.....no comment..........
Or maybe she could’ve stayed in IndyCar and maybe she’d be racing still?🤷🏻♂️
Damn, that’s a what if
Yes
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT patrick staying in Indycar would've have been better honestly.
@@DW98rosy exactly
Austin Dillon I can se being one of those MTJ type drivers to waste 10 years of his career driving for a team that doesn't give him success, then he gets lucky with a decent team and starts doing real well. Dude is real young, he's got a lot more racing in himm, he's not done yet
I doubt he'd leave RCR, as his grandfather owns RCR and I have a feeling he would never leave his grandfather and I don't think his grandfather would fire him, especially after he gave Dillon the 3.
@@sonnydog830 I mean he let Ty go. I know he’s not as successful as Austin but anything can happen
I really don't understand how in the world Kasey Kahne is mentioned by some people, that's insane. He won 18 races, an All-star and Duel race, 3 Coca-Cola 600s, a Brickyard 400, 93 Top 5s, 176 Top 10s, over 4,000 laps led, 27 poles, and finished 4th in points in 2012. Hendrick gave him the worst equipment and he had a horrible crew chief from 2015-2017. If he's gonna be mentioned then somebody like Larson ought to be mentioned.
Everyone expected him to be Jeff Gordon. Raced 15 years. Larson’s career is just getting started. Duh
I think over hyped is better wording than a bust. Which can easily be another top 5 video.
He was solid, but never lived up to the hype put upon him.
Pfft He was never a Championship Contending team with Hendrick in their prime. Once Hendrick started falling off only managed to get one win out of it. He had many opportunities to move teams but never did.
@@RC.41 He never really got a fair chance. He was breaking out with Evernham when they got into a lawsuit that hurt the team. That led to Petty buying them out, and that team never had the best equipment, Kahne made them look good in 2009. Red Bull was a one off and not quite on par with the big teams. 2012 and 2013 were years he was a potential championship competitor, and then in 2014-2017 Hendrick just started giving him weaker equipment and teams. I'm not saying he was a superstar, but he definitely wasn't a bust just because fans had higher expectations. I mentioned Larson because he's like Kahne in multiple ways. However, he has been racing for 6 years in Cup, and only has 6 wins and 3 winless seasons.
@@jamesdb7115 Agreed, I think he could have done more in the right equipment, but he was never given the best shot except 2006, 2012, and 2013.
As far as Busts Go: She-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named is always on top.
Funny, watching this as Austin Dillon is now in the second round of the playoffs
and in the playoffs again this year.
I've had discussions with people about Pastrana in NASCAR - he went in thinking it was easy but learned the hard way that it's a real tough sport. He did end up leaving NASCAR because it would take up all of his time away from X Games and Nitro Circus and everything and came out humbled on the other side and now has strong admiration for NASCAR drivers.
Take a shot every time Eric says “controversial”
Danica may have been a nascar bust but after she retired she dumped Stenhouse for Aaron freaking Rodgers, so she's the true winner
@@pervotheclown2199 packers just won 😂
merry christmas Eric Estepp and everyone else 🎄
Eric: Austin Dillon is one of the biggest busts in the 2010s.
USA Network: Perfect candidate for a reality TV series I suppose.
Biggest bust, Kasey Kahne. I don’t really consider Danica a bust because I personally never expected her to win anyways. Back in 2004 a lot of people predicted Kahne would be a big thing. I said back then Vickers was more talented
Kahne is not a bust. He ended his career with 18 wins in Cup. That cannot qualify as a bust
@@KylitoNewt he was good at Hendrick till the made the 5 the rnd car instead of the 88
Your delusional about Khane he had his prime and was underrated driver, the reason why his career fell off was his injuries and health issues
HaVoX Unleashed and now it’s the 48
Seriously? 18 wins, 3 Coca-Cola 600 wins, Brickyard 400 win, won in all 3 series and every manufacturer he drove for, 27 poles, 93 Top 5s, 176 Top 10s, and I can throw out many more stats. Kasey was nowhere near a bust, if anything the only bust was the 5 car being hyped because in all reality it was the R&D car at HMS.
Top bust: Dale Earnhardt Jr
Everyone expected him to win at least 1 championship
Ya i agree with you.
Poor Junior. The original “silver spoon”
@@kishbrowning Nah that was *Kyle Petty* (the original)
JD Bennett good point. I stand corrected
Yeah totally agree
I almost completely forgot about Dylan K, and I think twice you showed how good and underrated of a driver Newman is. In 2014, nearly winning the championship with RCR while Dillon was mid-pack, and putting the 6 car in the playoffs this past season, while Ricky struggled. I was never a Danica fan. She was a pretty face that brought money and that was it, plus I think she was a total snot. Her expectations were so high that nobody could live up to it. Pastrana was one of the coolest guys I've ever met, met him twice that year, he was in over his head, and Trevor Bayne was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but Roush after the "Big 3" (Kenseth, Edwards, and Biffle) is where careers went to die, he had the sponsorship with Advocare too, that was the crazy thing. Anyway, great video as always, and Merry Christmas!
Mark Martin was the best driver at roush but after those 3 left the team it went to shit
Danica has to be #1 and honestly i think Jr should be on this list 100%
In 2019 I would have agreed that Austin Dillon was a bust as a Cup driver. I called him a Charter Member of The Lucky Sperm Club. But I am gaining respect for him. In the past year, it seems he has gained a knack for being near the top of the field at the end of a race. Maybe what he lacks in outright speed is being replaced with a veteran's ability to be there at the end.
I would also give Kyle Larson honorable mention. There was so much hype surrounding this kid in the early 2010s and while he has had a good career, 6 wins after all this time is not what people expected.
AD’s 2016 year is truly slept on

Top 5 NASCAR Busts of the 2010's
1. Danica Patrick
2. Natalie Decker
3. Daniel Suarez
4. Trevor Bayne
5. Dylan Kwasniewski
My guess is that Danica Crash Patrick is the entire list except for number one, which is Brandon Jones.
Brandon Jones won a race last year and almost won a couple more. Dumb af comment
Jones will be next decade

Ahh, yes
Being a Roush fan has been tough since Kenseth and Edward's left

2. Edit: Scott speed ( old one Daniel Suarez )
1. Danica Patrick
Edit pls no kill me
Edit of edit Brian France
Suarez isn't really a bust. He preformed statically better than Danica Patrick. He wasn't hyped.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld you got a point
Really good list. Honestly it is sad remembering how hyped some of these drivers were for them to ultimately fail. Dillion still has a chance to redeem himself, but I don’t see it happening.
Twisterduck I'm here in 2020 and Austin Dillon has improved.
@@sedulous01 He took a step forward this year and was impressive in the playoffs. Hope he can continue that success.
I was not expecting this!!!
Dillon is far from a bust, he's a hell of a driver and what do you expect from RCR equipment being not that great..no driver in that stable in the cup series is lighting the world on fire
Considering his equipment Dillon's done quite solid recently. Currently he's 11th in points and he just qualified 6th for the Coke 600. I think he could potentially turn RCR around. Not quite to the Earnhardt days however.

Ayy Trevor Bayne not a bust, that one win is the best win of the decade
Watching this when Austin Dillon won at Texas
Glad you didn’t include Suarez on here because the way his career has been handled so far is pretty bad. He’s now gotten rushed out of 2 rides the past two seasons despite improving over the past year in a worse car than the JGR 19. If they could keep Logano around when he was doing nothing for 4 years then why get rid of Suarez after 2
Happy Birthday Everyone!
I'm lucky my birthday is 3 days after Christmas
ITS NOT MY BIRTHDAY.
I said this before about Danica, she had other good races but it didn't go her way. 2014 charlotte night race running in the top 10 got wrecked by Joey logano, 2014 talladega fall took the lead we fans thought she might win the race but the caution came out, 2014 Martinsville fall running in top 10 got wreck my martin truex jr and then got caught up in a wreck later on, 2015 new Hampshire chase race running close to a top 10 got wrecked by Ryan newman, 2017 Kansas running in top 10 joey logano lost his brakes 2017 Richmond in top 10 got dumped by Austin dillon.
Spoiler:
Danica Patrick is 1-5
Oof, better watch the video
Daniel Suárez is one of the biggest bust I have seen in recent history. He was all hyped up at JGR. He won the Xfinity Championship and had the Arris sponsorship. He then replaced Carl Edwards and finished 20th and 21st in points, not making the playoffs both years. Truex goes to the 19 in 2019 and almost wins the Championship. Then Suárez goes to the 41 and doesn't make the playoffs in 2019. Danica is #1 but Suárez is a very close #2.
update?
Good job for 100K
Trevor Bayne is the unluckiest driver in NASCAR History
Here's my Top 5:
5. Trevor Bayne
4. Justin Allgaier
3. Danica Patrick
2. AJ Allmendinger
1. Ricky Stenhouse Jr
Anyone else?
In my opinion, Brian Scott is a NASCAR Bust
Do a top 10 best throwbacks of the decade
Who is here after the 3rd biggest bust of the 2010s won the Daytona 500?
If so, do you also thing that means winning the Daytona 500 has just been rendered worthless now that Stenhouse won it?
Bayne’s coffee shop has a 4.8 rating out of 124 reviews
sHu redhawkk What is it called?
@@jakeumebayashi3243 Mahalo
Sounds like he’s doing well for himself. Happy for him!
out of 10 or 5?
jason out of 5
I think Bayne was a big hype after the 500 because he was a southern young gun, and I think a lot of Tennessee fans lached on to him. That, I'm sure, played a big part in the hype.
*OHHHH-Kay...* Here we go with this again!...
Your honorable mention: No because of the team he was with. That'd be like saying James Buescher or Ross Chastain are a bust...
5. No because he's won titles in 2 of the 3 top series & races in all 3 series. Seriously!?
4. No because Roush sucked & he wasn't even Roush's main priority during that decade.
3. Yes because he was Roush's priority.
2. No because *WHO* had him doing anything in NASCAR!?...
1. No because by that logic you can count every single Stewart-Haas driver not named Tony Stewart or Kevin Harvick; You know, one of the owners of the team & Stewart-Haas' *_ACTUAL_* top priority guy!
Here I'll fix it for ya:
5. Spencer Gallagher
4. AJ Allmendinger
3. John Wes Townley
2. Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
1. Brian France
@Nowhatamsaying Bubba Wallace wasn't a Roush priority despite being better than Stenhouse & RPM isn't a high-level team, so he doesn't qualify.
Also Hailie Deegan hasn't been in a Top 3 series race yet so she doesn't qualify for this decade. But I will not be surprised if she ends up not only being the #1 bust not only next decade, but of all time!...
Dolly Parton, Betty Boop. .............Oh wait , I'm on the wrong Biggest Bust video ! Lol
Only thing Austin is memorable for besides bringing the Three back. The Bowman feud, and the Coke 400 flip
Austin Dillion has been pretty decent. Of course he has won another race since this vid
I think Austin Dillon will be like truex race for years with a meh team then get a decent ride and start winning races. He's young give him time.
*hey a couple got on the list*
i think this is the most fair and balanced take on Danica Patrick
My list (cup series only)
5: Austin Dillon
4:Dale Jr. (Compared to his teammates)
3: Ricky Stenhouse
2: Danica Patrick
1: Brian France
Edit: HM Trevor bayne
Dale Jr...post dei
@@IanHowes_nashuacc2015 exactly, for Hendrick he should have had multiple wins every year only time this happened was 2014 and 2015 not to mention all of his concussions
I would say Brian France, but he became CEO in 2003. Soooo...
More like a broken condom cuz that’s what he is
I add one for the ages and that was Michael Waltrip 33 years racing and 784 starts with 4 wins I tend to agree with the assessments that you have but the biggest bust was Waltrip, I include Mikie because he did race all the way to 2017
Before watching:
1.) Danica Patrick
2.) Trevor Bayne
3.) Austin Dillon
4.) Ricky Stenhouse Jr
5.) Paul Menard (maybe controversial)
Set house has the number 17 car and the year he won those two races was in 2017..
I might be overestimating, but stenhouse, in JTG EQUIPMENT, might be making a playoff run this year
you overestimated
Austin dillon is ok....im not saying he is a bust
In My Original He is.
He is My Favorite Driver but He is NOT doing well. & I have been even thinking he should not be in the #3 car because of how he is doing rn
his first win was luck his second win he wrecked almirola for the win so thats bust
Winston Parker Winston come on hes a bust with respect MO
He’s trash
@@Mathiowetz i agree but he is like the only one on the list that got wins
Hey Eric do you work at disney world because I saw a worker at the tower of terror that looked exactly like u.
And his name was Eric
#5 - Totally agree he's a bust. RCR isn't the organization it was with Dale Sr., Harvick, Jeff Burton, or Ryan Newman at the helm, but they should still put up top 15 results for the season with their #1 driver. On top of that, Austin's attitude just makes him seem like a spoiled kid, so I'm not cutting him any slack.
#4 - I've said this since he pulled off that Daytona 500 win, he set the bar way too high for himself. Ryan Blaney and even Paul Menard have proven that with Wood Bros. equipment you can run better than Bayne ever did. It didn't improve at Roush, and he showed he didn't have what it took to run in the premier series in NASCAR. Honestly think he should be further up the list.
#3 - I actually did have some expectation for Stenhouse to do okay in Cup, same as with Austin, but his aggressive driving style only suits superspeedways at this level. He should have become a career Xfinity driver, he would have won quite a few more championships imho.
#2 - Pastrana's hometown is literally 20 minutes from where I sit right now. I've followed his career since he raced dirtbikes, before he became a freestyler and blew up to become an extreme sports icon. He can wheel just about anything, but NASCAR was a bit out of his range I think. Would have loved to see him stick with the sport and try to improve, but he was in during the time when a lot of drivers were in and out of the sport (such as Kwasniewski), and as much as I love the guy, I knew it probably wouldn't last.
#1 - I paused before you even said her name. It's gotta be Danica. And there's nothing more to be said about her sad career than what all the NASCAR RUclipsrs have already said. I've never seen a driver who's career lasted as long as hers did, when she wrecked SO. MANY. CARS. A talented driver, but like Travis, stock cars were not her thing. And she just wouldn't give it up, for years.
Lol Spinhouse and Danica are on the title picture......
DennyDelivers is this u Zach ?
@@matthewfontaine251 Yes
Danica has good taste in music, her favorite song is, "THE WALL" by Pink Floyd........
this got reccomended to me after I watch your latest episode and wow, so much had changed in two months.
Top 5 in no particular way (pretty controversial as of now possibly)
Danica Patrick
Ricky Stenhouse Jr
Trevor Bayne
Juan Pablo Montoya (I know he came in 2007, but he truly fell off a cliff in this decade)
Daniel Hemric
Danica Patrick is the G.O.A.T. of all busts... wait Brian France exists...
Keegan Lowe Danica should have never went to NASCAR, she should have stayed with Indycar and if she did she would be a decent Indycar driver.
My Top 5 of the decade...
1 David Reutimann
2 Danica Patrick
3 Ricky Stenhouse Jr
4 Paul Menard
5 Max Papis
I understand that Juan Pablo was 2006-2014 so it's hard to decide which decade really. But I'd have to say Montoya has to be on this list.
There was an Indy 500 win for Danica out there had she not moved to NASCAR. I truly believe that.
No, she'll never win in NASCAR. Even with HMS/Ford power she got lapped nearly every race by the 50 lap mark. She's slow, has bad car control, and no skill for this style of racing. She should have stayed in the IRL where she was at least mediocre.
Also, look at the her old rides, both of them (her old NW ride and IRL ride) have both won races this season all they changed was the driver. I'll say it again, she will never win in NASCAR.
@@thefossillcave Never said she would win at NASCAR, she was crap at driving stock cars. I think she could've won an Indy 500, because she always ran well at Indianapolis in an IndyCar
I don't think she wins an Indy 500 nor another IRL Race.
@@thefossillcave Well, not now for sure, pretty sure she's done with all forms of racing. My opinion is that she would have only improved with time in IndyCar, but we'll never know for sure who would've been right.
She wanted fame only not to drive.
Ok i think you can wipe stenhouse off that list. Hes doing well now with that 47 car
Austin Dillon 2020: Ha! Fool!
Danica:...
Eric:
*YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE????*
love the new intro!!!
Surprised to see Austin on this list but I see where you’re coming from. I still think Austin is leagues better than Ty though
my only tip of the cap in predicting results 3 weeks before the Daytona 500 I said Trevor Bayne would win the Daytona 500...
I also agree with you on Mr A. Dillon and his lack of normal race wins. He has used his grandfather's name and the #3 car and done nothing with it, but became a reality TV star instead.
Are we gonna forget that Danica Patrick litterally almost won Sonoma untill she got wrecked out in 2017.
Danica was one tough lady. In nascar cup she would have had to be way better than any man out there. 90% of them were not going to race her the same way as they would a man. Losing to a woman was too scary. I think we're already seeing Hailie Deegan being treated the same way. She'll have to be the best AND the most aggressive to have a chance. If she even makes it to cup.
A true statement. She was tough, at the very least, she took some hard hits to the wall, I mean she kinda became a crash test dummy, but she still got in the car the next race and drove the car.
Nah
Or it could just be that women aren't very good drivers? Like seriously, apart from Hailie, Janet Guthrie and Patty Moise, the overwhelming majority of female drivers have been abysmal. Besides Danica, you have Erin Crocker, Kelly Sutton, Jennifer Jo Cobb, Tina Gordon, Tammy Jo Kirk, Natalie Decker, Kim Crosby, Deborah Renshaw, etc.
This guy must be the best talker ever
Dude, you cant be a bust if you win 2 championships in the lower divisions of NASCAR and the 2018 500
Not to mention Stenhouse winning the 2023 500.
Totally agree with everyone of your drivers, and I agree with all of them, but a few of them I blame the owners and NASCAR( Travis Pastrana, and Patrick) name recognition drivers who in my opinion were brought in to bring new fans to NASCAR, thus putting a lot of pressure on not only them but on the owners that hired them. I believe Natalie Decker is going down the same road.
Danica Patrick more like Danica Crashtrick
Marcos Ambrose was the Dale Earnhardt of supercars and struggled to even be remotely competitive on ovals. I was a big fan of his either way but he too was a bust, albeit in less than top shelf equipment. Man, that late race battle w/Brad K. at Watkings Glen was fuggin awesome.
No surprise at #1. But you can't blame her for chasing the money. Indy Car in 2010 was nowhere near the popularity and purses of NASCAR and in the decade even a talent like Simona DiSilvestro found Indy Car to be an eventual dead end. I initially was surprised to see Austin Dillon on the list, but you made very good points so I don't contend that. Several of the drivers were Wrong Place Wrong Time Victims joining teams going downhill.
I was at Danica Patrick’s only Top 5 finish in the Nationwide Series. It was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Even then she only made the top 5 because, on the last lap: Carl Edwards (leading at the time) ran out of gas; and Brad Keselowski (who took over the lead from Edwards) blew a tire. (Mark Martin got the win.)
9:51 Oh my good man !!!
Stenhouse and bayne are both good drivers that just lack any consistency whatsoever
Daniel Suarez needs to be on this list. Two years on Joe Gibbs where his teammates DOMINATED. Then a year on Stewart Haas where his teammates all won and nothing. He drove for two championship teams and could barely even run in the top 15 weekly.
I remember there was an interview where Danica told Joe Rogan that she basically knew nothing about the cars she raced, and when Joe asked here how she could know nothing about cars and race them, she just arrogantly said "I don't need to."
I'm from Brazil heppy cristhmans 💕
NASCAR AL EMOÇÃO merry Chrysler
@@RailCityFishes happy chrisism
The sad thing is Danica will probably be in the hof in a couple year’s
Yep only because of the media.
Most likely never, because these are the requirements:
-Has to have been active in NASCAR for at least 10 years
-Has to have been at least retired for 3 years
Danica raced for 5 seasons and has been retired for 2. And let’s not forget, they also have to be a _good driver_. Danica was _not_. Hell, even Dale Jr has a better chance of being in class of 2021 than her.
I forget that Travis Pastrana was in NASCAR. That was a crazy time
I agree with this list. Danica by far was the biggest bust of the 2010's.
If you have won a Cup race, you are disqualified from ever being considered a bust.
