The reason why Jeff Gordon was added as the 13th seed in the 2013 Chase was because of Team Penske striking a deal with Front Row Motorsports in order to help Logano make the chase during the 2013 Federated Auto Parts 400
NASCAR could've done better with that. They needed to either remove all of MWR from the Playoffs and add Newman & Gordon in, or remove Logano once the revelations of the Penske deal came out and add Gordon in. Gordon getting added as the 13th driver, while Penske got off scot-free and MWR got leveled, was gimmicky and the wrong move.
@@RacingWorldTV202 The funny part is they fixed it with the playoff system. All the guys cutting deals would’ve already been locked in with wins. Bowyer would’ve been the only guy who wasn’t in the playoffs if the ‘14 system had been in place.
@@danielwest9955 And that is the one thing I think is good about the new format. It's pretty airtight from a lot of issues and you can tell NASCAR thought things through very well when they made it 16 drivers, because that's where the gap between drivers tends to really widen. Now with Daytona as the regular season finale, you got that extreme wildcard element that makes the regular season part of the format perfect.
@@RacingWorldTV202 Yep. Once the idea of "Wild Cards" and race-winners being qualified came into play, the fairest way to do it was to just make sure winners were pretty much locked in.
Yes because the look of the car mattered so much, let’s forget the gen 6 has had the most stinkers and gutted the sport no matter what package was used. COT looked awful but it wasn’t a full throttle around the whole track conga line
@@ryanespinoza7297I Agree. The Gen-6 Car, Is 100% Times Better Than The Gen-7 Cars, That Looks Nothing More Than A IMSA Car, With No Safety At All, And Lastly, The Numbers Slid Forward.
2013 = Car looks like a street car but also has that older nascar feel. Numbers still in the right place, kept history going with the same tires. 2022 = Car looks so much like a street car that you could probably get away with a crime in that car. Numbers terribly off centered for more corporate view, tires are finally changed to one lug nut after almost 3 decades.
2013 season was such an underrated season for the Cup Series and the Gen 6. I actually miss it so much. The package was good for a learning curve of a package. I just miss 2013 in general.
For me, it was the size of the spliter and spoiler(2013 was my second year watching nascar)so coming from the COT, was a big change visually, i know the cot had a "different" wing and splitter when it launched but i started watching in 2012
What's interesting is that while Denny Hamlin had more wins than Dale Jr in 2013 It was the best winless season of Dale Jr's career and the worst overall season of Denny Hamlin's career up to this point And huge congratulations to Dale Jr on being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame And I really hope North Wilkesboro returns to the NASCAR schedule soon
@@JeffWeselyan That's a great start, at least then North Wilkesboro will at least have some income flowing with ticket sales, concession, merch, sponsor and TV money, rather than nothing, aside from the money that was donated.
I first started watching NASCAR late in the 2013 season before the chase. Thank you Gen 6, thank you Iceberg for teaching us modern fans the history and culture of NASCAR
2013 I don't remember to much. My family was always busy didn't watch much of nascar in 2013 or I forgot when it was on. I am not a Jimmie Johnson fan but he was one hell of a driver and seeing or hearing him win number 6 was cool. Thanks for the great videos iceberg
2013 was the first year I prioritized watching nascar over football. I consider 2011 to be the year I officially became a nascar fan, but it was still number 2 to me behind the NFL at that point. So, it'll always be a special season in my heart
As a HUGE Matt Kenseth fan growing up, this season was fun, but also extremely disappointing at the same time (for obvious reasons). But this season kinda started my falling out with nascar until the 2021 season. I still followed it and looked up who won every week, but thats the thing. I only looked it up. I wasn't watching nearly as consistently as I have in years past. The only races I made sure to watch from 2014-2020 were the superspeedways, and short tracks.
This is a nice assessment of 2013. I thought the racing in 2013 wasn't that great but the stories were interesting. The Homestead, Richmond II, Auto Club, Talladega II, Loudon I, Martinsville, Texas I, and Atlanta races were particularly good. The big spoiler they ran was counter-intuitive to close racing, but the racing felt like a breathe of fresh air, even in races like Las Vegas and Kansas I where, in retrospect, the racing wasn't amazing. 7/10 season. Much better than 2015; better than 2019; not quite as good as 2014, '16, the second half of '18, & '20-21 but on par with 2017, which was another really solid season. The '11-13 format was a lot better than the '14-16 format which was utter garbage.
I attended the chase 2013 Phoenix race as a JJ fan with my brother a kenseth fan and my parents Harvick fans. To say we were entertained is an understatement. I’m one of the few that loved the cot and gen 6. This is the era I became a true fan of it. 13 and 14 are the best years. 2020 and 2021 also were fantastic. I’m glad the Gen6 started and ended on a good note. The car also broke many track records in 2013
Everyone always forgets an important clause in the NASCAR rule book: EIRI. The "except in rare instances" clause literally implicitly states that NASCAR makes the rules and do whatever the hell they want.
Watched my first NASCAR race that year, which was Atlanta. Found it quite interesting and followed it a bit for the next couple years before becoming a fan in 2016.
i am very happy i found your channel...i haven't watched nascar in the last few years...but your channel is reminding me how great it is and how much i miss it..i may just have to start watching again..even if i dont have a driver anymore. thank you for what you do. keep it up!!
I remember that fox cama happened clearly as bell. Because I was there in other end of where you had this clip. The camera wire directly above me. All four us look at the fox Cama and said to each other that doesn't look stable and safe during pre-race. In my side of the cable fell in front of us and we all grabbed each other to duck in our row. I was glad that no one was seriously injured when we heard it in the announce speaker at the race.
This was honestly the first year I really remember watching most of the races in a while, mainly because I started dating a diehard Carl Edwards fan! Do this season basically got me back into watching the sport along with her!
It had way too much sideforce and was too aero sensitive and fragile to be a good race car, no amount of cutting downforce could fix the bigger issue that the cars were literally glued to the track.
They really did hype the Gen6 as the future of the sport. I'd be lying if I didn't say I will miss this style of car. 2014 will be my favorite for the speeds alone, i never had so much fun watching qualifying then I did that year.
Jeez I started watching nascar in 2010 when they got rid of the wing cot and I feel old watching this and I miss the early 2010s with Johnson gordon Edward's stewart and others being up front and I really miss allan bestwick as an announcer
13 and 14 were our last years of good racing. Cars had horsepower which took a real man to handle. If they wanted a change they should have left the motor alone and cut the spoiler down. They based all of this crap on the repave at Michigan and 220 mph straightaway speeds. The Michigan winters would have taken care of that on their own
Ah yes I miss the beginning of the Gen-6 Era when it all started in 2013 with all of the great racing and the great racing battles the 2013 season was great overall in my opinion.
Because MWR's move ended up taking place. Had that not happened, and race went all the way, and if Gilliland ended up being forced to give up 1 spot, then it'd be a different story.
Apart from Spingate and Hamlin $25k fine for criticizing the cars, the only thing I remember about 2013 was some Gen 6s being featured in GT6. Apparently Danica was also planned but she didn't make it to that game.
The 1st 2 Years of the Gen 6 Era were Awesome, why ? Because the Cars had Unrestricted 850 HP. Also the 1st Part of the Video of Rick Allen, Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds during Pre Season Thunder was Cool
16 free meals seems a little bit sketchy, have you enjoyed everything you have gotten from them Iceberg? Thanks for the constant uploads, its hard to keep up 🔥💪
I still remember watching NASCAR for the first time in 2015. I'm not quite sure on the memories but I thought the gen-6 was the coolest looking cars in the world lol Atlanta was the race I watched first and got invested into watching races. How times have changed
You failed to mention the suicide that took place in the infield during the 2013 NRA 500. That's always a forgotten moment in NASCAR You also failed to mention that Jeff Gordon won the Chase race at Martinsville and went from 13th to 5th in points. Also, Gordon finished the season top 5 in points after being added as the 13th man. Another forgotten piece of the 2013 season Also, the Stewart vs Logano fight at Fontana The 2013 Food City 500. Hamlin vs Logano in a fight. Which is what actually lead up to the Fontana incident the following week
I don't think over the long run the cars were that bad. Where most of the problem was. Was the fact NASCAR kept manipulating. Taking away horsepower. Etc. It wasn't the car it was all the limits placed on it
The year i started walking away from the sport, and the year before Jeff Gordons last race. This sport has sucked, HARD, since 2013. The cars suck, the racing was boring, and the entire field has become full of rookies, rich kids, and no name ringers that nobody has ever heard of. Plus the points system got set up to where you could just skip half the season, come back and win a few races, and then the championship. And someone actually did that. The sport hasnt been the same since this car, and the cars after it.
I was always a bit suspect of Danica winning the pole at Daytona. Look at the list of pole winners through the years. I’m not a conspiracy guy but it sure looks like NASCAR wants particular news worthy drivers to build up hype
Them adding Jeff Gordon as the 13th driver in a 12 man Chase along with MTJ and MWR getting made examples of whilst Penske walked away with little more than a slap on the wrist caused me to stop watching NASCAR for over a year and stop attending races for 4 years.
The fact that you mention that Jeff Gordon was in the chase that year for tv reasons to me is absolute bullshit. He was going to be in before spingate took place and the fact that it happened affected the outcome. To me he deserved to be in. Sure it would’ve been better for TV ratings but I watched that race. You can say whatever you want about his appearance in the chase but I smell pure hatred about it. He was a total victim of the situation, and I will support NASCARs decision on letting him in because to me he got cheated out
Great video. And you know one thing that NASCAR won't be able to do with this new car like they did last time that whole stupidity of finding Denny Hamlin when he didn't deserve it in any kind of way they ain't going to be able to do that this time if a driver talks crap about the car they're not going to be able to say oh here's a $50,000 fine not in today's cancel culture.
Hamlin wrecked himself. He turned hard left to try and turn Joey nose into the outside wall after the initial contact. I didn't feel sorry for him then and I still don't now. Don't like to see drivers hurt, but it was his own fault.
What do you remember most about the 2013 season?
The champ
The Daytona 500 being boring as ever.
Jimmie tearing the shit out of his spitter at Daytona
Brian Vickers, Greg Biffle, David Ragan, Jamie McMurray etc. winning there final career Cup wins
That legendary last 11 laps and aftermath of Auto Club
The fact The Iceberg is dedicated to fill our brain with nostalgia is amazing to me. You keep inspiring me dude to push on. Thanks for the content!
