- This team at first seemed like it was doomed to fall very early, but as time progressed, they would emerge from the shadows of NASCAR's competition to become a championship-winning team, and just when they had reached their peak, it ended. Here is the story of Furniture Row Racing...

Furniture Row was always one of those teams I didn’t particularly pull for every week, but I wouldn’t be upset if they won. I’m Team Penske all the way but it was very satisfying to see them win the championship.
“It would be the only Cup Series victory for Regan Smith.”
Don’t remind me… 😢
SovietOnion I’m sure you are thinking about that BS call at Talledega. Tony forced him under the yellow line.
@@caughtyouin4k674 Yeah, I was a Stewart fan at the time and I still thought Smith was robbed of that win.
@@caughtyouin4k674 sorry to tell you this he willing went to left side of tony stewart car after he tried to go right and then tony stewart forced he under the yellowline which based on the rule
means tony stewart won the race
and nascar has essentally enforced the rule to the point that is no force down rule at anytime anyway meaning you can NE
VER go below the yellow line to pass another car unless your avoiding a crash
@@shawnschaitel838 yet literally earlier that decade Dale Jr basically went to the infield at the same track and still NASCAR declared Jr the winner. Smith got robbed fair and square
ragan smith and the DEI 01 should have been in victory lane
This hits home for me so much since I live in Colorado. I got to say “I have a hometown NASCAR team and they won a championship!” Still pisses me off that this town only cared about the Broncos the day after Truex won the championship. The Broncos, who got killed by the Bengals. The day he won, got the front page of the paper, while he was shoved to the 2nd page.
FRR will always hold a special place in Colorado sports history!
Could not agree with you more
That’s so low. The broncos lost to the pathetic Bungles
So the broncos got front page after getting thier asses handed to em but truex who actually won gets page 2
I was there at the Darlington race that day Regan won, I loved the simple design of the 78 and seeing that race that day at the race, it made me quite the fan of the little team that could. They were my favourite team all the way through MTJ's era. They showed a team didn't have to be from Charlotte to be successful. They were my fave team on the track and it still is heartbreaking that it was collapsed by Gibbs the way it did go. I wish it lived on, but one thing's for certain, the team will go down in the history books as one great team, the little team that could.
One of my favorite paint schemes when I first started watching NASCAR was Regan Smith's black Furniture Row car and it was fun to see it get more and more TV time over the years as it ran closer to the front every year
Was at the 2017 final race at Homestead Miami and witnessed the Truex win and championship. This is our home race. Being Truex fans my boys and I got to see history as a start up one car team defeated the giants. Glad to see Truex picking up where he left off at Gibbs.
SN95 Mustang Garage that’s a really awesome memory for you and your boys. I’ll be at all three races in Miami this year on my honeymoon. Hopefully I can experience wonderful moments.
5:48 The Ricky Bobby paint scheme. Priceless!
Unlike past teams, FRR went out on a high. Better off than where Richard Petty Motorsports is right now.
The Next Gen has been good to Petty thankfully
I know RPM was the very definition of a field filler so I won't hold my breath if they'll be competitive forever but I can hope

"This team's story is truly the definition of rise and fall". Couldn't agree with you more
Red Bull/BK Racing: The Fall and Even Farther Fall.
@@jamesbraun9842 2011 was Red Bull's best season, at least for Kasey because he got 22 top 15s, 15 being top 10s, and 8 being top 5s, 1 being a win.
They made rice and fall of BJ racing and Red Bull racing so fuck off
The video was made four months after I suggested it, so… _why_ would I have to f*ck off?
I don't care what anybody else says, Kurt made this team into a Championship contender. Pearn was already an engineer at the time in the team's history. Truex did terrible with Kurt's CC in 2014, imagine Kurt with Pearn. Kurt does this to every team he goes to, Penske got better when he went there, he made Phoenix Racing and Furniture Row Racing into contenders, and SHR has fallen a bit this year since Kurt's departure, also, one of the #78's lead engineers is at CGR now with Kurt, that's why CGR is getting a bit better.
Being from Colorado, September 4 2018 was a pretty sad day. They gave us all in this state something to identify with and root for in NASCAR, and it felt like it was all taken away overnight. Due to this I say screw 5 hour energy for leaving at a point in the year when they wouldn't be able to find a sponsor in time. And don't give me that "Joe Gibbs put them out of business" crap, all y'all in the comments. Visser denied it. Plus if that really happened I can guarantee you Cole Pearn wouldn't have gone over to JGR
Yes. I definitely believe losing 5 Hour was the biggest contributor. Yeah, I bet JGR was gonna charge more because why are they getting beat, but ultimately, if Visser wasn’t having to pay out of pocket, I think he would have still paid it. He was done paying to fund his cars.
5 Hour Energy is a curse
look at every team they sponsored then what happened
They were my favorite team and truex my favorite dude
More like "The rise, maintain, and folding" of Furniture Row.
"The rise, maintain, amd screwing over by Joe Gibbs" of Furniture Row
There was no fall. Just a sudden drop
great coverage of a unique story, they say single car teams don't have a chance, the 78 showed that isn't always the way
I really really enjoyed those guys, at the 78 team, real Cinderella story
Again, I'm late to this one, too (pesky job & wife)... but, I'm impressed. Awesome video.
Awesome content.

You should do the Rise and fall of Roush
this team holds a very special place in my heart due to the fact that the one nascar cup event i have attended was the 2011 Southern 500 and from that day on, I was a big fan of the team. I was already a fan of Regans by then and that was a very happy day for me~ (And ironically enough, eleven years after that, a few weeks before Darlington 2 this year, I visited the track again and lo and behold, another underdog wins the race in Erik Jones' 43. ...maybe i should head there more often)
As any racer knows ya got know when to hold em know when to fold em Know when to walk away..... No way JGR was gonna let them beat them every week so the raised the cost to furniture row. They said " well we proved we can win win championships etc time to walk with our heads held high
The story of Furniture Row Racing closing after winning a Championship is a obvious sign that NASCAR's business model is broken
Could you do a “Rise and Fall” on Junior Johnson’s team?
Hhmmmm
ruclips.net/video/tuvQxFVKOwE/видео.htmlsi=zQgBdHbZQ0p9Gz5v
Great show DannyB! Thank you
You should do a rise and fall of yates racing
Basically they were like furniture row, only they lasted longer before and after their lone championship.
What made them the most successful? They were located right in the center of the Cup Series Map. They had less average travel miles over a total season... One edge many do not think about, but gave them a little more rest and budget.
Thats not a "rise and fall".
Thats a rise, and retire when you were *THE BEST* .
(And, retirying in the best moment, just dissapear when everybody loves you. And dont mess it later. A retire in the best moment.)
Evernham Motorsports The Rise & fall?
It’d be a 2 second video with the intro stuff and all DannyB would need to say is “Erin Crocker”.
They techically still exist as RPM.. maybe a Rise and Fall of Petty Enterprises?
Richard Petty is the sole owner of RPM, though, and Petty Enterprises still lives on through that team... so not quite yet on that video.

I believe KHI was just "i'm too busy for this shit"
This team was a great team in the cup series ever and had great drivers the two best driver's for them was Martin truex Jr and Regan smith.
I actually went to the 2018 Ford Ecoboost 400. It was really emotional seeing Truex get passed by Logano with like 20 to go. Even though I wanted Harvick to win, Truex was my second pick if Harvick didn't.
It was so so sweet to watch that 22 blow by that shitty Toyota.
If the caution didn't come out, Truex would've won that race. He was catching Harvick and had the best long run car.
thank you for your service mr. visser!
Y’all can’t say Joe Gibbs put FRR out of business. When they got the alliance and switched to toyota, it changed their performance. They won way more and won a championship with Toyota and JGR. And tech got more expensive, and no sponsorship takes a toll on an expensive sport
I Remember Seeing Truex Jr Win The 2017 Championship Live
It still blows my mind that a team struggling to make races with guys like Kenny Wallace and Joe Nemechek became Cup champions.
Joe Gibbs Racing got tired of getting beat by they're own equipment, so they raised the price out of reach for Barney Vissor to afford. Joe Gibbs calls himself a christian yet what they did was not a very "christian like" thing to do. For the sake of staying in racing LFR should know what to expect if the beat JGR. IMO this was a real shitty thing to do by Joe Gibbs Racing and they should be ashamed.
@John H. Heres more reason why He's dumb and Shady Tells Tony and Bobby Labonte to piss off and they hired supposed replacements that did worse than those 2 when they took their places in their equipment.
The cost stayed the same for three straight years. This statement you made is not factual at all
Both JGR and Barney Vissor stated the price had gone up. With Five Hour Energy leaving Mr. Vissor did not want to write a check for the missing sponsorship and what JGR wanted for cars and technology.
I figure it wasn't exactly Joe Gibbs that come up the idea.....
I have a feeling the France family might have had a hand in it...
I mean....How dare this guy from no where near NASCAR country succeed in a business designed to be done where THEY can keep everything in their greedy little hands....
Once again.....as Harry Gant said ..if Nascar doesn't want you to win or succeed or you don't play the game the way they want you to.....
They'll find a way to get rid of you and you'll never win again
A great example of this is Robby Gordon, NASACR did not want him to succeed and they fined him and penalized him anyway they could. Robby said in an article I read that,"NASCAR doesn't want small teams with small sponsors, they want big teams with big sponsors who bring in more money to the sport." This the team alliance concept we have now.
Robert Yates Racing - The Rise and Fall? It may be a longer one but it’d be a nice one
I was by no means a Truex fan, and I’m still not, but during 2017 when Logano was doing awful, Biffle was out, and all the other Ford drivers I liked were irrelevant, I was rooting for Truex and FRR.
I never was a huge fan but i ended up rooting for him the year before - i like the way he seems so laid back and respectful but also will stick it to anyone if needs be. I havent seen many go after Kyle Busch the way MTj sometimes has and i like it!
Hope youre good.
These guys did alright
Petty Enterprises/ Evernham
Wish we could more rise and fall videos.
The Rise and Fall of MB2 Motorsports. (The team that once owned that #01 U.S. Army car in the 2000s.)
Called it. I knew it'd be this when you said it was a Truex video (One of the community posts for evidence).
That being said, this story sucks in the latter run. The fact that Gibbs was a major factor is just as upsetting because of what JGR has become in terms of the respect category (Which for the most part is null).
In addition, Truex has seemingly... changed... since it was announced FRR was shutting down & he was going to JGR. I wonder what will happen first; A Rise & Fall video on JGR, or Truex himself... It's kinda sad to think about since the latter is most likely, but I've seen things like this before where a driver gets corrupted after moving to a team with a bad reputation & low respect level, like JGR is now. It was like that with most of the Roush guys in the 2000's. Yeah some survived, but most of those guys because they weren't in Cup or they were there since the early 90's when things weren't as bad before the main crop of guys starting in Cup in the 2000's.
They shut down after nascar’s 70th season. What a shame.
R.I.P. Furniture Row Racing.
You should do one on Roush Fenway's Xfinity team.
Hope Spire Motorsports would bring #78 as 3rd car team in 2024.
Spire Motorsports' #77 has the same font
You should do the Raise and Fall of Bobby Hamilton Racing
I miss furniture row
There back!
As a guy from Colorado living 10 minutes away from they're shop and working 5 mins away. And racing at Colorado national speedway. Everybody was saddened to see FRR go and was really hoping they would've been able to show they're true potential
truly inspiring
I LEGIT went to the same high school as Barney. Not even joking same state and city.
Biggest team in nascar for one year
Why not do the rise and fall of hendrick?
I was at the 600 that truex dominated!! And the won he won this year too
And now we're probably gonna have MTJ as Champion again in Gibbs equipment.
Love this series. Id like to see a rise and fall on Roush racing, Jeremy Mayfield and Robert Yates racing in the future!
Phoenix Racing Fallout?
Do bk racing next please!
Need to do Bk racing
They never had a fall. They went out on top
Don’t take the name of the series too literal.
I disagree...that Darlington race where they got their first win, it was no fluke. Regan was in the top ten all night
Did I just race with you in NASCAR Heat 3?!
I was an employee of Furniture Row when things in the economy went crazy in 2008-2009. Of course they laid me off with hundreds more, but Barney kept putting millions into his racing team. I was 59 years old and this was financially devastating to me. So when Furniture Row folded, I was truly happy! Barney Visser can go on a honeymoon with himself.
All to often they forget who took them to the dance!
do Red Bull Racing
Ginn Racing/MB2 Motorsports Rise and Fall
Furniture Row sells furniture?
Maybe I NEVER went to Furniture Row
They sell Rows and Rows of Miniature Ferns. No Refernds.
Gibbs raised the partnership price because they got tired of being beaten.
Joe Gibbs is at fault here, here raised the price so furniture row wanted to raise the price for the sponsors, causing 5 hour energy to leave
Wow did not no a lot about them
The should have made one side of the car matel black and the other side showing were they’re at now
Unfortunately, NASCAR now has a rule where one side of the car can’t look too different than the other side of the car, because spotters need to be able to recognize the car.
A man who decided to to something, and he did.
Alright Danny if you see this please respond do you not think it's kind of funny how they won the championship the the year before was in the running to win the championship that year and all of a sudden they cannot find a sponsor they went to Gibbs and they didn't have no problem finding a sponsor I think it was Barney's health want to let you go out what do you think
FRR ghost still today as SPIRE MOTORSPORTS.
Egos on the 78 killed them. They forgot that minus JGR they would not be in the position they were in.
Furniture Row didn’t fall. It had its legs cut out from under it.
This team was the _definition_ of standing back up after every fall. Shame they died a final death after Homestead.
Forgot Kurt Busch was with them
The rise and fall of Roush Fenway Motorsports.
In 2028 maybe.
The thing I don’t get is the cost of NASCAR has gone down these last few years from my understanding. Furniture Row struggled for so many years and yet financially they were fine when costs were higher? Then once they hit success they couldn’t afford it? Leave the Gibbs alliance if it’s costing that much. Just hate seeing less than 40 car fields.
This is going to be Richard Petty Motorsports in a couple yesrs
It was more like rise and stop
If NASCAR don’t want you there no matter how hard a team owner tries to please NASCAR if they don’t want you there a team will not make it, just like Bill Davis and others,I we would lose Jack Roush, Rick Hendricks, Joe Gibbs and Richard Childress the sport would be over forever.
And this was the downward trend of NASCAR started when a championship team couldn't get a major sponsor while NASCAR was pulling in the big buck sponsors! They lost site of the teams and became seriously greedy! Then they continue to ruin the sport in 2022! Way to go NASCAR! I haven't watched or been to a race since those days! I just follow results now!
They absolutely sucked until Truex came in 2014. Regan Smith was the only other driver to win, winning his "only" race, although he should've been credited with that 2007 win.
Nascar Junk with the 2008* win u mean😂
Kurt Busch had a great year for them in 2013, much better than MTJs 2014 campaign
You mean this team absolutely sucked until they bought that turdyota advantage their consistently getting from nascar for that oh so important sponsorship money......Truex Jr’s career before then was a joke and now there doing the same for Dibenedetto another no talent scrub but with that JGR turdyota advantage instant career year only took him 20 races to smash all his numbers that he had in 131 total races.....
@@starscream9683 jeez, you actually think DiBenedetto has no talent!?
@@NASCAR_Junk well let's go over his career before getting JGR's advantage shall we.......in 140 races 0 wins, 0 top 5's, 3 top 10's, 23 laps led, 27 dnf's, average starting position no better than 29th, and average finishing position no better than 27th, so is this what you would call talent?
Basically Gibbs wanted the driver and the sponsors and simply priced Furniture Row out of business

more like rise, rise, R I S E, fall
Another team Gibbs ran into bankruptcy, such a shame.
First comment.good video
JGR was getting its arse handed to them, so they screwed over the team from Denver by jacking up the price. I hope JGR folds soon. Truex should've put that POS logano into the wall the teams final year at Miami.
Kevin Harvicks team rise and fall pls
I don' think it "fell" I think it was just "i'm shutting down my doors"
The Rise and Fall of Red Horse Racing
We would all be glued to our Monithorse, for that one.
Martin hasn’t won yet this season neither have his teammates
Damien Harteis Denny Hamlin has 3 wins, including the Daytona 500, and Martin Truex Jr won Martinsville.
Bk Racing the fall and fall
Gibbs hated them
So, in 2016 Martin Truex Jr. has a strong season, but a single bad race at Crashadega and he's out of contention for the championship. More than anything else, this ongoing playoffs idiocy is what has ruined NASCAR for me and a lot of other fans. Now that Drunk Brian France is out, why have they not reverted to a season-long championship fight, something that not only made every race equal but also saw the sport to its greatest success? Is there a single smart brain cell left among any of the Frances?
