Thanks for watching. Have another suggestion for a team I should cover? Let me know down in the comments.
This an opinion piece backed up with facts as well, and all photos and videos are used ONLY for educational purposes and under FAIR USE LAWS
Talk about odd,great job covering this team. Also Dale Earnhardt and Jimmy Spencer? Osterlund loved his aggressive drivers now don't he?
Hey whatever it takes to win
@@DixytheGoat9 exactly!
@@DixytheGoat9 yeah kinda like Joe gibbs
4:41 this would be a very cool throwback to see on track someday.
Possibly one of the JTG Daugherty Racing cars 👀
Jimmie Johnson ran this paint scheme in 2016 at Darlington.
@@trecooledge1326 he drove the Blue and yellow 2 car; I believe this person is referring to the Heinz 57 car being a cool throwback
Have you done a rise and fall of Turner Scott Motorsports? That one had some drama. Neat video on Osterlund's racing team.
Once Dale went to Childress #3 Chevrolet in 1984 His Career Skyrocketed with 6 Championships and all until His 2001 Death
Good on Osterlund for winning the Rookie of the Year and the Championship with Earnhardt, but I really don’t see that as being enough for a Hall of Fame induction.
Richard Petty said Roland from Poland. He couldn't pronounce it either.
Great rise and fall here, loved that it was an older team. You know, that Blue Max team that you mention in your Rusty Wallace video has an interesting NASCAR tale. It all started in NHRA Funny Car. That might be an interesting rise and fall. By the way, Kenny Bernstein, a NHRA FC & TF great, at one time owned a NASCAR team.
I'm really enjoying these videos. Keep up the great work
Do the Rise and Fall of Robert Yates Racing next.
You should do the raise and fall of Bobby Hamilton Racing
Just in case people didn't know, Dale Earnhardt missed those 4 races bc he broke both collar bones in a wreck at Pocono. That's what side lined him for 4 races.
I honestly think without Earnhardt this team probably wouldn't have been as relevant as it was.
They won a race with David Pearson when he subbed for big E . They had the talent and equipment but the question would have been how long they would have lasted without a major sponsor
It shows how good Dale was by making the best of a mid pack team and making it the best it was ever going to be. Only reason Osterlund ever gets hall of fame considerations is because of Dale Sr getting rookie of the year and a championship
Red Bull Racing
Roush Xfinity
Gnassi Xfinity
Hscott Motorsports
I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for Rise and Fall of Turner-Scott Motorsports/H-Scott Motorsports.
If you do get to make this video, I would like to suggest adding in that TSM originated from what once was known as Braun Racing.
Also sets up well for a rise/fall of Braun since he absorbed a few different teams in that chapter
Love this Series. Keep it up man!
right on Danny B.
enjoyed that, and was short enuff for my attention span lol.
Cool history, Id like to see more if you make 'em.

I remember when Rod wanted to get into cup racing. On Byrd Ave in San Jose Ca the Pepsi 54 car was shipped in , That was the Lennie Pond super speed way car, The second car was delivered on a Chevy Chassie body trunk lid doors and that was it, NASCAR had it's own chasse which was standing on the wall' The Kenworth K100 was to tall for the shop so somebody cut the exhaust stack off to fit in the shop, The car was original paint of the car was done by a guy named Marco Flores. He was the same guy who painted my motorcycle. I have mor to say but that's it for now
Osterlund? HOF material? I really don't see it. If he had some consistency in time in NASCAR I could see it happening but nah he never stuck around long enough, but personally I liked the fact that you included the short time David Pearson drove the #2 Chevy and made light of the fact that David got his last cup win driving for Dale Earnhardt.
I'd rather hear it from Danny B than anyone else!!! Thanks for the memories!!

Jim BOWN, no R. Younger brother of BGN champ Chuck Bown.
Do the rise and fall of Furniture Row Racing please
Do Robert Yates
Thanks. Good video. However you have a pic of the red and white Cam2 Chevy driven by Dave Marcis. That car was actually owned by Roger Penske.
Can you do Team III Racing. No.24 team
Tbh, I'd say Osterlund might be in the hall of fame had he not sold his team. But who knows how things would've turned out had Osterlund not sold the team, but still ended his involvement in NASCAR around the same time.
@@strokeraceventura2550 that's actually very interesting to think about!
Osterland pissed off Dale,
Dale finished -1081 point back from Petty in the championship in 1979. Even if Dale had ran every race in the 79' season there was no way he was catching Petty. Still one hell of a season for Earnhardt as he got his first win as a Cup driver and won rookie of the year.
Then quickly Won the championship the very next year
That goes to show how great Big E was. 👏
This a great video the movie 3 about Dale Earnhardt made out like Osterlund wanted to make the team and hire Earnhardt
I recommend the next Rise and Fall be Blue Max Racing
You should do a video over swan racing, always wondered what happened to that team
Always loved those Pontiacs
I have ideas
Rise and fall of BK Racing
Rise and Fall of Tommy Baldwin Racing
Rise and Fall of Furniture Row Racing
Rise and Fall of HScott Motorsports
Rise and Fall of Junior Johnson’s Team
Rise and Fall of The Motorsport Group
Rise and Fall of Darrell Waltrip MS
Rise and Fall of AJ Foyt Racing
Rise and Fall of AK Racing
Rise and Fall of Evernham Motorsports
Rise and Fall of Mayfield Motorsports
Rise and Fall of Phoenix Racing
Rise and Fall of Red Bull Racing Team
Rise and Fall of Robby Gordon Motorsports
The Rise and Fall of Evernham Motorsports
5 nascar drivers you forgot won a race? Would be a cool video
Cool
@DannyBTalks Earnhardt missed 4 races in '79 due to breaking both collarbones in the tunnel turn at Pocono.
Ghostmotorfinger oh yeah!!!! I forgot about that one. Thank you.
I mean, what the hell???
Why did Osterlund sell his Team in 81?
Nobody mentions Lou La Rosa building alot of those engines
[WAH-LOW-DEE-KA]
[WAH-LOW-DIE-KA]
[LOW-DIE-KA]
Oh, NOW somebody tells me...haha!
DannyBTalks Pretty much anyway you say it is correct there is so many pronounciations
Rise and fall of furniture row racing... Oh and make sure to unload on 5 hour while you're at it. Screw 5 hour.
i think dale WAS suppose to run the full season in 1979 but got hurt, hence why they got david pearson (who got let go by the wood brothers) to run 4 races that year
He had a broken collarbone. That was why he missed 4 races in 1979.
It would have been mathematically impossible for Earnhardt to win the '79' championship, he ended the season about 1000 points behind Petty, since a race win was only worth 180 points even if he won all four races he missed he still would have lost by over two hundred points.
I think the title dale gave rusty in 89 is his missing 8th ring or the 95 title he lost to Gordon
The Rise and Fall of Bud Moore's team
The curse of the 28 yates car.
Allison dies. Irvans crash.. Another driver died (name slips my mind)..essentially ended irvans career in 94 as a top tier driver. Thats 3 drivers in a row it destroyed
@John LaFever it still destroyed him. That car was bad luck to anyone
Can we get Ricky Rudd Motorsports?
Earnhardt was injured during the period
Joshua Giddens okay. Thanks so much for clarifying. I thought maybe that’s why. But it was honestly really hard to find a lot of sources on Osterlund because there’s really nothing on Wikipedia, so Racing Reference was my biggest help for doing this one.
Woohoo
