Who do you think is the best driver who missed the NASCAR playoffs?
Kyle Larson
Dale Jr
Jimmie
Larson
Jeff Gordon in 2005
Tony Stewart in 2006
Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2007
Matt Kenseth in 2009
If Harvick or Hamlin misses the playoffs they will be going to go full satan on the sport
Well Hamlin led points most of the season so understandable for him but Harvick eh
Yeah Hamlin would be understandable, but Harvick no 😂 He’s been so bad this season
@@CDNC22 harvick is tied for the most top 10s I believe tho
@@CDNC22 But he's still 10th in overall points, so I could fully understand his frustration.
They should
I think Jimmie Johnson in 2020 had the most heartbreaking loss out of at if these. I mean he had so many things just not go his way. If he doesn’t wreck at Darlington while leading, probably in, if he didn’t cheat at Charlotte, probably in, and if he didn’t miss a race due to Covid, probably in.
Stewart’s 2006 season gets extremely overlooked. He was so good that year. Poor Kyle Busch in 2009. Imagine losing a chase spot to Brian Vickers.
BAHAHAHAHAHA "Poor Kyle Busch in 2009. Imagone losing a chase spot to Brian Vickers" bro i can't
Considering Brian was good at that point in his career, not that hard to imagine
@@forrestrobbins8074 true lol
Just saying that we can still have 16 winners:
Indy: Chase Briscoe or Matty D since he did do the first test there
Michigan: an RCR driver or Ross
Daytona: who the hell knows 😂
Hopefully dibby makes it
Yeah Daytona for all we know Suarez and Wallace could be fighting for the win
Then Stenhouse wrecks them both and wins
@@micahkinton Matty D can still do it with Determination Built inside of him. And Reddick & Chastain shall amaze us!
@@Alpha-nj8gn Either #99 or #23 can pull off the Upset.
Indianapolis with Practice & Qualifying - Definitely Matty D
Michigan - RCR with Reddick
Coke Zero 400 - Stenhouse Jr., Chastain, Suarez, or Wallace Jr.
0:27 i’m absolutely in stitches at the way Eric is just standing there 🤣
Erin Go Bragh
He's just standing there. MENACINGLY!
bro facts
Imagine winning your 7th championship one year and then completely missing the playoffs 3 years later…
Basically Richard Petty would have done the same.
7th "Chase/playoff"
Its called infinite decline
At least he had a championship
It's called being washed up, denny will be there sometime to
Larson went from Missing most of 2020 to Making The 2021 Playoffs in 3 Weeks
It was really 2 weeks from the first race if you think about it
Jimmie johnson missing the playoffs in 2019 was upsetting, but it was understandable, he was inconsistent as hell. But him missing the playoffs in 2020 was such bullshit. So many things that happened to him were not his fault and him getting a (probably) false covid test fucked him over
@AuroraKs53 and the disqualification after getting 2nd in the coke 600...
2020 was actually what got me much more sympathetic of Jimmie Johnson. I mean, I kind of saw even 2018 and 2019 as somewhat cathartic, but 2020 was not fair under any circumstances, I will admit. And yes, I also think that positive COVID test was bull. I have been one of the most outspoken people as far as how I have seen the COVID pandemic play out. I mean, mandating people to wear masks who are already vaccinated? Yeah... I would take people more seriously if they wore the clown makeup and nose.
@@52YANKSFAN that just straight pissed me off
I know
People who couldn't drive like Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer and Chris Buscher wrecked him
And not to metion he had that Talladega 2020 Spring race won before he got spun out
I am also a Jimmie fan after watching the wreck at daytona where he got knocked out the chase Matt flipped Logano that started the wreck so matt D cost Jimmie a shot at the playoff in his final season so f matt D
Finally someone brought up Kahne in the 2011 playoffs, what makes that truly amazing was that was the last 10 races for that organization and they had to deal with Vickers making an ass out of himself during those last 10 races 🤣
"Vickernism" as Jimmy Spencer called it.
Jeff Gordon 2005
Joey Logano 2017
Jimmie Johnson 2019 and 2020
Jimmie johnson in 2020: im gonna have a great final year and make the playoffs for the last time
Covid/ Nascar: no way in this universe
I still am sad about that . Also sad every time I see him run indy :(.
2019 for me is DiBenedetto, he had an average finish of 14.5 in the second half of the year, which would've easily made the playoffs
He had a really rough first third of the year. It wasn't until Sonoma that the team got their shit together
@@DepravedCoTApologist I agree, but during the PlayOffs he was the best of everyone out, just like Kahne in 2005 or something I don't remember, but yeah I understand you point of view, they were bad for a third of a year indeed
Nascar in 2014
Jeff Gordon: great job we made the championship 4 and finished 2nd behind kevin harvick
Ryan Newman: Are you sure about that
Kevin Harvick: this makes it easier to win the championship at homestead
Agree with all of these, but gotta show some love for the background music! Both parts of I won’t see you tonight are very well done from avenged sevenfold 🤘
8:30 let's not forget finishing 2nd in the 600 and Southern 500.
I think the 2008 david ragan was spot on! I didnt realize he had so many top 5 and 10s!
Just want to point out. 2010, Jamie McMurray had an average finish of 1.5 in the 4 crown jewel races. As you mentioned, he won the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400, but he also finished second in the Coca-Cola 600 and second in the Southern 500.
IMO the best nascar driver to miss the chase/playoffs was Jimmie Johnson 7 time champ missing the playoffs all together for 2 straight seasons (2019-2020)
Nah Jimmie was on a decline then lost Chad didn’t deserve the spot
Fact: The last time jimmie johnson was apart of the playoffs was Charlotte roval in 2018 where he took out truex for the win
The sad part is he didn’t need to win to move to the next round, I think he really wanted to finally end the winless streak
I'm Thinking Kurt Busch 2012 and 2013, and Jimmie Johnson 2019 and 2020 will be here
kurt made it in 13 i think.
Yeah he did make it in 2013
@@williambaker787 oh, well I stand corrected. Cuz I knew he struggled with Phoenix Racing in 2012, I didn't think he made it with Furniture Row Racing in 2013
Love the Avenged Sevenfold instrumental in the background!
I Won't See You Tonight Pt.1
Video Idea: Top 10 Winless Season in NASCAR History.
So maybe the driver ran very consistent that season and even was a championship contender come seasons end, but they just could not put a whole race together that year to find victory lane. But also, you have to factor in the playoff/chase system as an aid for some of those seasons in recent years. Perfect example, Ryan Newman's 2014 season.
My top picks would be James Hylton (pre-modern era) and Kevin Harvick in 2021 (modern era).
14:47 damn it Jaret, I want to get out of depression, not climb back into it 😢
I would like the playoffs to be 12 people . Don’t stop at stages but keep
The points , 16 is too many . Also make the playoffs like the old chase system. One race is not fair for the drivers to determine it at the end
The playoff system made nascar a joke among competitors when it was already a joke to non nascar fans.
Bring legitimacy back to this sport.
MAN i forgot about Vickers vs Busch in 09 thaat battle was awesome. Especially seeing Vickers bring Red Bull to victory lane and the chase in the same year.
Step 1. Briscoe wins at indy
Step 2. Stenhouse wins at Daytona
Step 3. Larson wins regular season championship
Step 4. Hamlin and Harvick miss the playoffs
Step 5. Watch nascar twitter burn 😎
chaos. i love it
10/10
I friggin’ love the nascar playoffs man. It brought me back to nascar after a few years of not really watching in the early 2010s. It’s just straight up fun.
Glad to see Jr in the 2016 year. Was a solid, but inconsistent half a season. Plate races were brutal though
As a truex fan, I thought Keselowski was the best driver in 2013 to not make the chase, but I guess it made sense that he was winless until winning at Charlotte. Kind of surprised
I'd go with Mark Martin for 2007. He was the points leader before he started skipping races due to his part time schedule.
Kevin & Danny - 2021
As for the last three races with First-Time Winners with their first Career wins: Matty Guido DiBenedetto, Watermelon Ross Chastain, and Tyler Reddick.
0:27 a friendly Eric has been spotted
9:57 "ahead of Jeff Gordon, who basically did nothing"
Hey. HEY. HEY. Hold on!
I can already tell jimmies gonna be on this list
Jimmie Johnson has made the playoffs not liking the later years but in the beginning when it was called The Chase
Jeff Gordon's 2005 Season was the worst of his entire career based on his average finish
Best drivers to miss Championship 4 2014-2020:
2014: Jeff Gordon
2015: Dale Earnhardt Jr. (would have made it in if he won Talladega)
2016: Kevin Harvick
2017: Matt Kenseth (would have likely made it in if it wasn't for DNF penalty at Kansas)
2018: Kurt Busch
2019: Joey Logano
2020: Kevin Harvick
I will say this forever Dale Jr got screwed in 2015 at Talladega. And Gordon got screwed in 2014 at Phoenix.
My man loves A7X background music
I think an argument can be made for Greg Biffle being the best of 2004. It's true that he was inconsistent, but I think he would've put up somewhat of a decent fight had he made it. He won the last race of the year, after all.
I also think that an argument can be made for Bobby Labonte, as well. He was doing well in 2004 until the final few weeks before the Chase.
Also, as a Jeff Gordon fan, here's my middle finger for the little rubbing of the salt on that 2014 wound: How many Cup Series Championships does Jr. have again? Yeah, exactly.
this video getting recommended now hits different
Haven’t seen the video yet but I bet McMurray 2004 is on the list
Haven't even watched it yet, and I'm already expecting to see a lot of Jamie McMurray on here.
Thank you for making these dawg, enjoy watching them while I 💩
:27 I spy an Eric Esteep
2006. Tony Stewart 2005 champion not being able to defend the title on BS. When you’ll 12 years old on The NASCAR Weekly Podcast hate on the win and your in playoffs. Under right playoff Smoke would have been in.
After doing some maths, these are how far the drivers would have made the Playoffs from 2014 onwards
2014:Larson makes the Round of 8, but a bad Martinsville race and being punted on the final lap at Phoenix leave him just short of the final 4
2015:Larson makes the Round of 12, but doesn’t get a single Top 20 finish in said round, eliminating him after Talladega
2017:Logano makes the Round of 12, but a poor Charlotte and Kansas leave him eliminated
2018:Newman would have been eliminated in the first round, with consistent runs not being enough to usurp the three-way tie for 12th
2019:Jimmie Johnson would have made the Round of 12, but after an early exit at Talladega, his championship hopes were essentially already over
2020:Jimmie comes just short of making the Round of 12, and is eliminated early
As an alternative to Jr missing the 2016 Playoffs, had Kasey Kahne made it, he would have made the round of 8 and would’ve finished 13th in Points.
Newman getting to Homestead in 2014 should have been enough of a red flag for this system.
Johnson has to be on the list for missing the playoffs. Ps sorry BlueJimmie48Fan and Ian48
Knew he was gonna be on it. As a jj fan it hurts
Hot take: Kenseth's best shot at a championship in the 2010s was 2017 but he got fucked in the ass by his pit crew
2022: Truex
2023: Elliott (probably, Daytona hasn’t happened)
No views, 1 like.
It would have been extremely wrong not to mention Logano in 2017, so I'm glad that one made this list.
Gonna say it, cos someone should - JJ missing out on the chase in either of his last two years was not a shock, or an upset. His current laughable stint in Indy shows that he was just on the washed portion of his career. Nothing wrong with that, he's the 7x and no one can take that away from him, but his fall from grace was by no means an upset
2021: Austin Dillon
2022: Martin Truex Jr
2023: Chase Elliott
2024:
I think you have them all right except 2015 and 2019 in 2015 Aric Almorola missed by just a handful of points behind Paul Menard and had a pretty good chase
And in 2019 Daniel Suarez would have been my pick for that one
The best driver to not make the chase in my opinion is David Ragan, solely because he was consistent in 2008, unfortunately he wasn't able to get the job done due to inconsistency, same goes for 2011, He could've locked himself in but inconsistency derailed him aswell
0:26 why Eric so dead inside
I think you should’ve put Daniel Suarez for 2019 instead of Jimmie Johnson. He was more competitive and had some great runs in the 41 car
I hear the won't see you tonight pt 1 in the background
You really did tyler reddick dirty for 2020
As a Jimmie fan the 2020 season was not good the worst lost was the coke cola 600 where he finish second to brad at one of his best tracks
I’ve noticed that in Cup racing that some drivers literally fall off a cliff in a year, not over time byw.
I was about to make the fight for the biffs 2006 but then I remembered smoke went and murder the field in the chase...
Do a video of best comebacks of the season. Ie a race where a driver defies the odds to get a good finish. Kyle Busch 06 at the glen comes to mind. 5 laps down and still gets a top 10
This video just proves how stupid the playoffs/chase is
Eh, not really.
@@Michael29Shell you’re telling me a guy who would’ve finished third in the points deserves to finish 14th?
@@_lucas_1k_ Given the rules at the time, that driver had 26 races to get in, but didn’t, it sucks for that to happen, but that was the rules
@@Michael29Shell yeah. It's unfortunate but rules are rules
I agree
awesome
Hi
@@siteofalexa Hi
_Jr fans: Man what happened in 2007? We fell!_
_People that watched Mark Martin in 2003: _*_First time?_*
About Jimmy, it's hard for drivers to know when they should exit a sport. I think Bill Elliott, Rusty Wallace and Terry Labonte all managed to quit full time at the right time. (EDIT: Tony Stewart may qualify IMO here too)
And it's depressing when your driver lingers outside the top 10 every race after they were so strong all career.
I peep the Eric estep cameo😂
Better video concept and headline...
*The best fans that left Nascar because of the Playoffs*
I feel like Jimmie Johnson would've made the playoffs in 2020 if he didnt get the beer bug
Out of curiosity when you say they would have finished blank in the playoffs did you add an extra spot are steal a spot from the lowest ranking guy
The playoffs in nascar are more like gambling than may the best man win
What about Tyler Reddick in 2020?
It me or is the oh chase or 12 man chase the bet version of play offs to date
People forget about smokes 2006 chase season. He said screw you guys I’m here to win!
It would be a shame if harvick or hamlin dont make the playoffs they have been very consistent all year. The full community will go beserk and ask to change the point system
liked video
Had brad not wrecked Jeff at Texas Jeff one won homestead or Phoenix and would have been champ
Erik Jones was the best in 2020 he prob woulda made the round of 8 he was good in the round of 16 and 12
I get the feeling that someone is a huge Jr fan...
You kidding, watching JJ struggle like that was a boost in the arm!
Any Rick Ware driver
As for your back to back Jimmie Johnson. That was all legacy and you should be ashamed of yourself
Eric!
I think the best driver to miss the playoffs this year if it stays the way it is would be Chris buescher
I think Reddick is only slightly better so I disagree.
If Reddick makes the playoffs and harvick and hamlin make it, Austin Dillon is on my list of the best driver to miss the playoffs
@@dileblade7659 I think reddick is in right now over Austin Dillon
The playoffs are a freaking joke
Kyle Busch has more talent then Dale Jr prove me wrong
Nope not even close Jr was far better than cryle
@@nascarandbowlingfan3888 Not really look at the wins and championships bro and I'm not a kb fan at all
@@idontgetpaidenough3633 nope Jr was better than wins don't tell the whole story
@@nascarandbowlingfan3888 I'm just saying as much as I hate it Kyle Busch Is better bro look at the wins and championships
@@idontgetpaidenough3633 can you not read I just explained that doesn't tell the whole story
The morale of the majority of nascar that got to celebrate Jimmies last two years trumps his fans. It’a a good thing they didn’t throw him a bone like they did Jeff.
nascar shouldn’t do stage racing during the playoffs
2013 denny hamlin who should have made the chase
No he didn’t he was horrible in 2013 only 4 top 5s and 8 top 10s
He didn't even win until the final race
Weep
That injury he got at Auto Club really ruined his season
Dale Jr was never a good driver
cant stand the format go back to the old ways consistincy and best finishes paid off no resets no mixing it up
