All sports have records, but the best ones are the ones everyone knows will never be topped. NASCAR has some crazy good ones and I aim to find out which are the best.

Juan pablo Montoya was in f1 before nascar so he didn’t know anything about nascar
yeah that an the time Dale Sr at the start of the race on the warm up lap hits the wall....or Mark Martin breaks a tie rod in the warm up lap and takes out Johnson...after I bet the barn on Johnson...grrr

That sounds about right
Hey, Cale Yarborough admitted to running into a fire truck at Richmond during his career.
I'm pretty sure that Petty has the record for most records owned.
Mike Heinrichs In NASCAR maybe

@@m.c.martin So tell me, what's it like living in a constant haze of stupidity?
You are idiots
Don’t forget the slowest NASCAR race was when the truck series went to Saugus speedway in the 90’s to have an average speed of about 45 mph 😂
That sounds like an interesting challenge to drive and watch.
mrwednesdaynight you can find the old footage on RUclips it’s an interesting race especially since you see full size nascar trucks on 1/3 mile bullring with no banking
@@Sh3isty_GangRacingSGR I believe it was also Larry Mac's first time as a broadcaster, and one of the last races of any kind at that track.
Tom Anderson yea it was now the track is a swap meet. I went to the Saugus reunion at Irwindale last month on the 30th and met hornaday jr there. I had him sign a die cast of the truck he raced at saugus it was awesome.
Back in the 50's, there was a race at Wilson Speedway that averaged about 35 mph.
I miss independent drivers like J.D. McDuffie. He will always be a champion in my eyes. 🏁
I like Dave Marcus. He could do everything Drive build engines,
Doesn't he have the record for most last place finishes lol
Marcis. A record of his that no one will reach is racing 20 years after his last win - 1982, until 2002.
@MackMcMillan as mentioned in the video Joe Nemechek start n' parked his way past J.D.
The Chicago Cubs of racing he was a Lovable Loser
There’s another one that will never be broke, seven straight wins at a track, Darrell Waltrip at Bristol.
Can only imagine buying a ticket knowing who would win
@MackMcMillan nah thats how people feel buying tickets to a F1 race
@@Mannyvg Nascar and F1 are very dangerous.
12 actually
Sarah Lawson 12 total, 7 in a row.
Mad props for McDuffie for loving racing as much as he did.
Dude just enjoyed going fast.
600 races. Top 10 in 100 of them.
RIP J.D.
7:44 Cars vibes setting in...

I’m so glad I’m not the only one 😭
Who's watching this in September and know Johnson misses the playoffs lol
Just commented on that, but Chad Knaus so far has. I'd love to see someone different. Truex JG's already into the 2nd round

He made it
GMS87 most overrated driver in history
Alia Sucks no he didn’t dumbass
Another record would be when Ned Jarrett won the Southern 500 by fourteen laps in 1965.

@@joedenhardt4604 Kyle busch is the Lebron of nascar.. no thanks. His brother has more pride and skill than him. Kyle is a cheat with money, his team is bought straight out of school that introduced the new tech in the league. No history, No pride. Just Money and an updated team every year. Logano forever... and Earnharhdt of course
@@xxnositxx I disagree. Kurt was on an equal race team for a while, which was Stewart Haas. It's not like Kurt sucks and races for this team that nobody knows. Kyle has more wins and a more recognized legacy for a reason.
@@xxnositxx Well, I like both lebron and kyle, so I think that's not a bad thing.
And then, if you don't cheat, it means you're not trying hard enough...
Because he had the money to race
The J.D. McDuffie segment is a sad one because of his passing, but can we stop and appreciate that shot of him in an open face helmet, gold tinted goggles, a friggin' cigar and dat mustache. Dude is a boss.
You are so underrated, my man.
Thank god I discovered you.
I appreciate it, my dude. I hope you like what I have planned for the future.
I want to like but you have 69
I plugged my phone in and watching as many I can.
@@kenntonontrac186 nice
How about Mike Skinner:
Two wins in Japan.
Completely unbreakable record.
VACATETHE48 Neil Bonnett, only nascar car driver to win at a Nascar race in Australia.
For international race. That not an unbreakable record.
One driver got 4 wins in Canada I think. Or I might mistake to formula one. Otherwise. That might breakable record in the future by the winning more race international because of Canada here.
@@CamaroAmx Morgan Shepherd and Terry Labonte also won at Australia in 89 and 90, respectively.
Sean Nolan not in a Nascar cup race....
The only thing that i know is the Fabulous Hudson Hornet from Cars (a.k.a. Doc)
CAR!
But in the movie he is 51and real life he was 9
@@eventplanner8780 The only characters in Cars who actually share their voice's numbers are Strip Weathers with Richard Petty's 43, Junior with Dale Jr's 8, and the announcer voiced by Darrell Waltrip with DW's 17
“One driver you may never heard of” the guy that doc Hudson is based off of lol yes we know that guy tho haha
By the way I kinda just notice each race car in that movie is based off of different eras of NASCAR, Doc is pre NASCAR so from 1930 to 1959. King is Early NASCAR 1960-79, Hicks is I don't know the real fun era let's just call it that from 1979-01, and Lightning is the future.
I still consider David Pearson to be the best, since he never ran full time (except two seasons, he ran half the schedule or less) yet somehow found a way to reach 105 wins
He didn't make that call. The Wood Bros. ran the limited schedule. He was just their driver so he had little say in the matter. Everything else about your post is spot on.
@@Miatacrosser can you imagine the silver fox's numbers had they run full seasons ?? i bet king richard's numbers would be a little lower.
@@sicfrynut absolutely no doubt in my mind. Used to see David out here on the west coast at Riverside and later Ontario. His car control when he had the bit between his teeth was a thing to behold.
Nah my favorite driver all-time Dale Earnhardt is NASCAR's greatest driver ever
@@rcracer8872 I knew as soon as I seen this comment about David Pearson that you'd be replying about your precious Earnhardt being the best.
You can't seem to grasp the concept that other people have different opinions about NASCAR drivers other than yours.
An honourable Mention ? Ned Jarrett wins by the furthest margin, 1965 Southern 500, by 4 laps over Buck Baker
Correction: 14 laps!
Honorable mention: Elzie Wylie "Buddy" Baker first to break the 200mph barrier, on a closed course. 1970 @ Talladega Motor Speedway, in a Shriner Keg Kart.
Technically, Jarrett's Southern 500 was the biggest margin in terms of mileage. At Piedmont and Cleveland County, he won by 22 laps! David Pearson is the only other driver who ever won a race by 10 laps+.
The 1951 Southern 500 at Darlington had 82 starters - that record will never be broken.
The 1953 Daytona beach race had 106 or more starters
The HORNETs win rate is 21.05
Kyle Busch' win rate is 20.00
He still has a little way to go
Thats cause he basically races against kids twice a weekend. That's not something to be proud of
austin bennett yeah it’s like the Yankees celebrating that they have 200 wins in a season and 190 of them were against minor league teams....
@@austinbennett9812 honestly him in trucks isn't so bad cause it's his own equipment... but him in xfinity that's a problem...
cuz most of top 10 contenders retired. so yeah. racing against 2nd level drivers. sure.. let’s see if kyle busch can do that back in the day when jeff gordon raced against those legends.
@@austinbennett9812 Well Richard Pettys wins were against much smaller teams. He had top notch equipment against small county fair drivers. If the other drivers had similar equipment Petty did, he wouldnt even have close to 200 wins. So if you gonna discredit Busch, you gotta discredit Petty.
This is incredible - I only found your channel hours ago, and now you've released your third (from what it seems) video just now. Love it. You've got a skill - I'm not even interested in NASCAR at all anymore, but your talent at condensing history, and presenting it, is impressive.
Always glad to see JD McDuffie mentioned the man worked harder than any man in the garage. He deserves to be in the hall of fame. A humble guy who did a whole lot with a little. Legend.
Nolan Cain not only that but also the fact they had basically the same equipment and ran at the exact same time
Love this channel already.
I love your perspective on J.D. I couldn’t agree more.
Superb video. I'm in the UK and don't really 'get' NASCAR, but this was fantastic. Great job man.
I'm hoping to get to the UK next year to see some races.
9:20 Many people worried that Jimmie Johnson would single-handedly destroy NASCAR.
Meanwhile, Brian France said, "Hold my beer..."
By that he meant the drops left in the glass.
Johnson wouldn’t of won all the championships if they wouldn’t of came up with the chase shit.
@@antz350 This. This right here. They weren't trying to prevent his wins they were trying to create them.
Dale Jarrett was also a 3 time Daytona 500 Champion.🏁🏁
IS, also. 15
And now so is Denny Hamlin
Fuck off. Denny sucks.
Ned Jarrett won a race by 14 laps at Darlington. That will never be broken!
Great content. Great knowledge about the history of NASCAR. Keep it up. Greetings from Colombia (and a NASCAR fan since 1996)
How about two drivers finishing first and second 63 times? Pearson and Petty
And doesn't Pearson actually edge Petty in the W column for this stat?
@@doomusrlc I wish I could say yes, because I think Pearson was a better driver, but according to Racing-Reference.info: "Petty and Pearson raced against each other 551 times, between 1960 and 1986. Petty beat Pearson in 290 (53%) of those races. In those races, Petty earned 108 wins to Pearson's 97, Petty earned 292 top 5s to Pearson's 289, Petty earned 367 top 10s to Pearson's 349, and Petty had an average finish of 9.8 to Pearson's 11.3. Petty wins in all categories."
@@stevegabbert9626 I meant just when they finished 1-2, so of those 63 races.
@@doomusrlc Yeah, I think you're right on that part, and not by much either. There will never be a rivalry like that again.
@@doomusrlc Yes 33-30
I see great potencial in this channel. Both your videos so far have been great
thank you for the video . great . no longer nascar fan . loved watching it in the late 60,s , 70,s , 80,s part way through the 90,s .
I am not a Nascar person, ride or die open wheel. However, I find myself really enjoying this content. The enthusiasm, the history, the personalities, it all makes for riveting quick watches. Keep up the good work slapshoes, you made a believer out of me
Just wanted to say I've been a car guy all my life but never really could get into NASCAR. Your videos about the history of it are so well done that as soon as it starts back up my buddy and I are going to watch it. Thank you for doing what you do!
I enjoy the hell out of these videos you are doing sir. Keep up the bad-assery. Subbed :]
RIP Jimmie Johnson’s streak.
Edit: good luck to Jimmie on his final try at 8. Really Hope he does it.
Personally, I hope it doesn't happen. I would be happy for Jimmie, but I like the fact that Petty, Earnhardt, and Johnson are all tied at 7 championships
I’d love to see it but if he performs like last year, sadly he won’t make it.
JJ DID destroy nascar. A mediocre driver working for a team that is a proven cheater, and an owner in the back pocket of the owners/operators of nascar. (And that contract with the devil must be the biggest of all time)
@@HorribleHarry Good god how much can you hate one man? Did he sleep with your wife or something? Jimmie Johnson is an all time great. Plain and simple fact. If you think otherwise, you're disqualified to talk NASCAR
@Mycheal Lugibihl You sound like a Hendrick hater. How is Rick Hendrick a cheat and a crook? Ask everyone in NASCAR and they'll tell you he's one of the all around greatest man in the business. And Ray Evernham did what every crew chief ever has done. He just did it better than everyone else. Please come up with a better argument next time. And how do I sound like a Hendrick fan when I'm stating a simple fact that Jimmie Johnson is an all time great. Is 7 Championships, 5 in a row, and 83 race wins not great? If not I'd absolutely love to hear who you think are the greats.
i have watched like 10 of your videos tonight. awesome stuff
Thanks for the fun and entertaining video. Never watched racing much. Then I went to my first cup race... the last race of the 1990 season. The Atlanta Journal 500. Sat in the first row on back strait. When the pack of cars went ripping past on the first lap, 50 or so baseball hats went flying. I was dusted with rubber and half deaf, but man what a thrill!
Great video man, you should really have more subs!
I love how people are still complaining about Kyle Busch's 200+ wins across all 3 series not being the same as Petty's when Kyle doesn't even compare them. He has said himself that they aren't the same thing (though I agree some arguments could be made, but overall they are completely different eras and agree they don't compare).
The racing journals all compare them. I don't give a rats........what Kryle thinks. He is far from the best driver out there. He just has really good equipment
Hilariously the biggest crybabies are the Kyle Busch haters
@@sophiaevans9908 kyle crybaby is trash and nothing compared to my favorite driver all-time
It's true Kyle doesn't compare his wins to Petty's but what irritates people is the way NASCAR tries to hype it as being the same thing. That's what people don't like.
@@EclecticHillbilly agreed. It just seems that most that get up in arms over it don't realize it's Nascar hyping the numbers and not Kyle
Your channel is awesome, please keep up the great work!!!
Your videos are just straight fire! Thank you!
I don't even like NASCAR but these videos are too dang sweet.
Bobby Allison's leading a lap in 39 straight races. Incredible
Erica Leigh Taylor or being the oldest driver to win a cup race. That’ll never be broken, since lately the trend is to force the older drivers out, even if they are still competitive (Gordon, Edwards, kahne, kenseth) and put in young drivers (chase, Suarez, the Dillions) who rarely if ever win and are amazingly inconsistent in their finishes.
@@CamaroAmx wasnt harry gant the oldest to win a nascar race?
StreamCheese yes at 51. Bobby was oldest to win the Daytona 500.
CamaroAmx pretty sure harry gant beat that record he was 54 when he last won a race
Awesome channel, great videos. Please do one on restrictor plate racing before and after.
Glad i stumbled across your channel!!!
I'm not a fan of NASCAR, I never watch a race but these videos are great.
Most underrated RUclipsr. You deserve wayyyy more subscribers!
Just found your channel, subscribed! Awesome work.
Never been huge on nascar but something about hearing you explain it makes me want to really keep up with it 👌👌😀😀
Did the music of this video bring great memories for anyone else? I loved Nascar Thunder 2003 as a kid :)
It is from that game
You should have your own show on Fox.. U make the best Nascar videos... The way you present the sport is refreshing & you have true passion for the sport. You're very knowledgeable of the sport as well , so yeah, they entertaining.. 💎 So you should make some more. 👍🏁
Knowledgeable, is only determined if the person judging the statement is as knowledgeable. Otherwise, how can someone else know. I'm not saying he's not, I'm just saying no one has been everywhere and seen everything. And so much stuff even the "experts" get wrong on TV because they don't always do their research.
Great channel! Love your videos.
Really good video. I really am glad you talked about JD Mcduffie in a respectable way. Appreciate that. He died doing what he loved best.
A journalist was interviewing Richard Petty one day and he asked Richard about his 7 Daytona 500 victories. Richard, with his wonderful smile said, Well, we lost some we should have won, but then again, we won some that we should have lost. So, I guess it sorta evens out. The journalist, with a smile of his own said, Well Richard, win or lose, you're still the king.
Personally, I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Mike Pardue
A lot of old time records set in nascar are totally unbeatable cause of how it was back then. They did numerous races in a season and the field was so different in cars without inspection and everything else.
They've had inspections in NASCAR since day one.
David Pearson and the Wood Brothers won every pole position at Charlotte from the fall race of 1973 to the fall race of 1979. That's 13 straight pole positions there and nobody else has even come close.
Pearson also won 11 races in 1973, in 18 starts. Nobody has come close to that either.
Cale Yarborough led all 500 laps at Bristol in 1973 and all 420 laps at Nashville in 1978. The 1973 race at Bristol was a day race on the asphalt. At that point, most drivers would take a relief driver to Bristol but Cale never did. Matter of fact, I don't remember Cale ever having a relief driver in any point in his career.
Great vid man can’t wait till the next one
Great video!
You should add two Modern Era records that will never be broken.
13 wins in one season, both by Richard Petty & Jeff Gordon.
And also 30 top 10s in one season, done by Jeff Gordon in his dominant 2007 campaign.
With the way races and schedules as they are now, these two records will likely never fall.
I was at Daytona in 1980 when Buddy Baker won the fastest 500 still to be run there.
I was a crew member on a competing team there in 1979 when Baker ran for the same team. He probably would've won that race had he finished. That was the only car I can remember that would make the ground shake under your feet on pit road when it came thru the trioval.
Driving an OLD PLYMOUTH!?
It wasn't OLD IN 1967!! SMH
According to Richard Petty at the Goodwood Festival, this car was modified from a 66 Plymouth to a 67 Plymouth. He essentially went on this hot streak with a car that was a year older than his competition.
@@S1apShoes In my day they ALL ran one or two years with the same car. Pretty much until the manufacturer changed the model or did a complete redesign or they wrecked so many it was time for a new car. His '66 car was more than capable of winning races in '67. Especially since all but 3 of his wins were on short tracks with no David Pearson(not saying he didn't have competition though).
Ford was the big winner on the Super Speedways in 1967. In fact Ford was the big winner throughout the entire world of Motorsports in 1967.
Like your videos. They're well made and well researched.
@silverbird58 irrelevant and not true. Not at Atlanta and certainly NOT in 1967. facepalm
@@S1apShoes That's true but back then even the factory teams only had 3-5 cars. They saved the newer ones for the superspeedways and drove the older ones on the short tracks. Likely, after he'd won the first two or three in the streak, he decided to stick to the hot hand.
@silverbird58 In Charlie's day, Atlanta was the old short straightaway, long turn, 1 1/2 configuration. Your comment is completely wrong.
Compared to last year when this video was uploaded, you have almost tripled your view count IN A MATTER OF HOURS! Holy shit dude, well done! Don't forget us little guys when your rich and famous!
Never gonna forget you and the others, my guy. Thanks for being with me since the beginning!
I’m not even a huge NASCAR fan but I can’t wait to see more from this channel
Darrell Waltrip winning 7 (correct me) straight at Bristol I think is the greatest consecutive winning streak of any track in NASCAR history.
It's not one to sneeze at.
Ernie Irvan starting last and WINNING the race on a road course at Sears Point...I was THERE.
Swervin' Irvan was a helluva driver.
Never been a NASCAR fan, I mean I watch it on the weekends because I'll watch any moter racing. Thanks for all the history and info your winning me over.
Stumbled into your channel, I'm glad I did. Bloody good content. Shame about the mention of Johnson's 14(now 15) straight Chase appearances, my favorite driver, being Denny Hamlin, could've absolutely been there if not for a pesky Logano encounter at Fontana in 2013.
Or the pesky encounter when Hamlin tried to knock down the wall at Martinsville with Chase Elliot 's car. Or knocking teammates, twice, into the wall in turn four at Daytona. The three or four times he took out Logano when they were teammates.
Hamlin will never be respected by anyone whose ever raced against him, or had to deal with him as an official. The little runt has no respect for anyone, including someone in a position of authority over him. Everytime I come across his name, an image of me with my hands around his neck pops into my head.
@@DDS029 Whoa! That's a lot of damage. Mate, I'm not here to listen to your personal issues that have all the makings of psychopath written all over them. Take your slanted view bullshit elsewhere and get some help.
@@DDS029 Denny isn't the only one running Lagano into the wall regularly. There is a reason for that.
wait i know him, hes lightning mcqueen's coach
The 200 wins streak actually did get broken. Kyle Busch at California 2019.
Love him Or Hate Him He Is The King Of Restarts Driving Machine Unlike 24&48 He Don't need Yellow flags For In seen Debris
Great video brother 👊👍💪
Loving this channel
Richard Petty having 200 wins at NASCAR’s top level is ridiculous
silverbird58 That’s still a very high win percentage especially when you consider his last win was when he was 47 and he still raced full time until he was 54 which brought down the stats a bit, his longevity and sheer volume of wins is incomparable to anybody else
silverbird58 And it was 1185 starts not 2100
Yet isn’t Kyle at 200 now counting all three series.
Sean McGeeney it’s about the competition not the age or how long he drove! Johnson has only 600 starts, 80 wins yet 7 championships! So clearly back in the day with 40-50 races a season n no where near the competition of today (20 of the drivers today can win any race) compared to back then when it was petty vs! Why would you start a team just to get dummied by him? Lol
Devin Poli so cute when people think athletes of the past would have a shot against the ones of today! Yet every althete of today has been trained since the age of 10ish to be a pro
You Jinxed it! JJ failed to make the Chase in 2019.
And i'm sure that everyone is happy about that because I've gotten tired of Jimmie Johnson since I am a long time Gordon fan his first year was the first year of watching nascar racing and my favorite candy bar of all time Baby Ruth so that's how I found Jeff Gordon.
Thank you for this! Ahh, damn! The memories! I grew up near the Ontario Speedway and I still have my ticket stubs for the Ontario 500!
Went there every year they ran there. You could sit in any of those 155,000 seats as the attendence averaged about 15,000 at the Grand National events.
Most memorable wins. A.J. Foyt in 71 & 72 in the Wood Bros. Mercury. Buddy Baker in '75 in Bud Moore's Ford. David Pearson in the Wood Bros. Merc in '76. Bobby Allison in Bud Moore Ford in '78. Also saw A.J. win the Indy car race in '75. Great track and nobody came. That's why it's no longer there
@@Miatacrosser I started going there in 1974 and the last time was probably in 1978. I can't even say what it was that pulled me there. I just felt like I was soaring when I heard those engines!
Loving how you have the Nascsr theme playing in the background
How about Earnhardt Sr winning 10 Daytona 500 Twin 125 races in a row?????
So is Jimmie the NASCAR equivalent of Michael Schumacher
But with much less dodgy driving standards *cough Adelaide 94, jarez 97, monaco 06, Hungry 10*

@@slideways7768 idk I wouldn't blane Michael for that one that was more Ferrari being shady AF and fucking over the #2 driver again
That's basically how I've always thought of him.
@@brianglennon9386 I think Michael was genuinely pissed at that one too, and his actions after the race showed it. Frankly the FIA should have been ashamed of themselves that they handed out a million dollar fine to anyone except the team management at Ferrari.
Some of the best nascar content on RUclips brother.
Petty won 27 races in 1 season but thy run 50 races then
Caden Scott hahaha that land mass though.
During JJ's reign my best friend managed a Lowe's in MA. #48 made an appearance before a NHMS race and my buddy had absolutely no idea who he was. He told me about it afterwards...Somehow we're still friends.
lol
Martin Truex Jr. leading 588 miles in a single race
I was waiting for that to come up....
That has to be a Coca Cola 600 race, because I don't think that there's any other race on the schedule that goes for more than 500 miles.
I think Ernie Irvan led more. One race in Charlotte he didn't lead only like 3 laps, can't remember if it was spring or fall race though.
Martin and erenie are close.
Because of stage racing Martin record is unbreakable.
I miss the chill drivers like Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. They were pretty chill
Richard is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet overall.....good stuff slapshoes keep it up man
Great videos man can’t wait to see more!
Johnson won 14 in a row., I think they accidentally forgot to check Johnson's engine to see if he had something that isn't allowed.
How bout Pearson winning 11 poles in a row at Charlotte?
Wasn't it 13? Quite a feat either way.
@@EclecticHillbilly yes but 11 were in a row
Good Stuff Fam. I subbed
Great job!
How about Earnhardt's 10 straight 125 Daytona qualifiers ?
annnnnnnnnd rip Johnson.
I feel kind of sorry for McDuffie, but also kind of happy for him. He stuck with doing what he loved to do even though he was never the best at it, and that's okay. He was just happy to be there. It's really too bad he died racing but I do suspect he wouldn't change that for the world. Wherever we go when our life is no longer ours to live, I hope he's still racing there. I know he wants to be.
10:30 I kinda feel like 'The King' needs an asterisk in that he really didn't have that much in the way of competition.
Back in the 60s not only did they run 45+ races a season but the King was usually only racing 3 or 4 other guys most of the time. He just happened to be the best out of those few drivers.
The rest of the field in these races, while no doubt talented drivers were mostly local racers that probably didn't have the money to even go to the races they did go to.
I forget which season I looked at but probably 67 or 68 but only a handful of races ever had 3 or more cars on the lead lap. Pretty sure no race had more than 5 cars on the lead lap.
Today you got easily 10 drivers that could realistically win any given sunday, and another 10 who it would be surprising but not exactly impossible.
Earnhardt’s record of losing Daytona on the last lap ?
Jimmies 15 year streak just ended
3:47 love this bit of perspective.
I love Richard and can think of no finer driver that represents NASCAR as he does. But you left out a very important point as to why the King has 200 victories . I talked with Ray Fox about this and he agreed that Richard would not have had 200 victories if GM has not dropped out of racing from 1963 to 1972 or so. That period is the heart of Richard's streak.
A wall told him to stop... Rip JD McDuffie
Why did I laugh at this
There's 2 more that will never be broken Dale Sr 1979 rookie of the year and champion the next year also Dale Jr's 4 straight Talladega wins
Yeah Jr. 4 straight un that track uff.
The 1980 championship was tainted. David Pearson drove for him while he was injured, that included one win. It was because of that they made the rule that only the person who starts the car gets the points. Four plus, straight at Talladega could happen.
@@DDS029 he competed in all 31 races in 1980 with 5 wins 24 top tens and 19 top fives
@@DDS029 that was 1979. Pearson had as many wins as Dale in just 4 races for Rod Osterlund. He finished 2nd at Tal. Put the car on the pole at Michigan(finishing 4th). Had a 7th at Bristol....And Won the Southern 500 at Darlington. Dale won at Bristol that year, but those points by Pearson helped him win the ROY
@@DDS029 That's not exactly true. It's ALWAYS been the rule that the person who starts the car gets the points. There were also two points championships, driver points and owner points. In most years, those are one and the same team but the owner championship never received the hype that the driver championship did
I remember watching McDuffy’s fatal crash at the Glen in 1991. Pretty shocking
Love the cars throwback :D
I wonder if Herb Thomas' career is what the Hudson Hornet in the Cars movie's career is based off of, especially since HH had a crash that ended his career, as depicted in the first movie.
Yes he was, as well as Marshall Teague, the first man to fly the Fabulous Hudson Hornet banner
Kyle the Pyle only has 148 wins in NASCAR, monster and Xfinity. 55 in the truck series (nastruck, lol) don't count. Petty still king!!!
Curtis Smith petty has 201 wins across all nascar divisions (he won one convertible race). So 200 cup wins is a lot different then Kyle Bush’s 201 nascar division races because a majority of them came from undercard series with a lot of them coming after he already began racing in the Cup series full time. I doubt he’ll make it to 200 Cup wins.
I see Kyle running in the lowers series and winning is like the Yankees beating a bunch of minor league teams and counting them towards their total wins... not a real fair assessment of their talent...
But its all nascar all 3 series
@@CamaroAmx all petty wins some came b4 it was nascar
Rick Davis Nascar was founded in 1948. Petty ran his first race years later, so it wasn’t before there was a nascar.
Nascar has one top series, the cup series and about 5 or 6 lower tier series. Petty won 200 Cup series wins. Kyle has won 54 cup series wins. If you wanted to count the lower series wins with the cup series, that’s a whole different story. There are 3 drivers that put Petty and Kyle to shame. Richie Evans has 400 Nascar sanctioned series wins. Ken Schrader has over 1000 (including 4 cup wins). Dick Trickle had over 1400 wins.
If we were doing that, then my grandfather should be on an all time wins list with 5 nascar sanctioned series wins and he invented his own fuel cell back in the early 50s. But I can almost guarantee that he appears no where in a nascar record book.
@@CamaroAmx Petty won majority of his races before '72 and most of his competition never ran full seasons like drivers do today. If your name wasn't Petty or Jarrett, you didn't run 80%-100% of the schedule for consecutive years.
Record of most miles led in a race: Martin Truex Jr., 2016 Coca-Cola 600. He led 392 laps or 588 miles.
True
Just found your channel and really enjoy your content. I agree with your list although I do feel it is missing one record, Michael Waltrip losing 462 races before finally winning. In today’s nascar with sponsors and teams are geared for instant results, drivers simply won’t get the chance for that many races if they don’t win early in their career.
You have a point but at the same time Michael McDowell went 350+ before winning, so I feel like it could happen again.
