NASCAR Drivers Who Deserved A SECOND CHANCE

[@TheIceberg]

What drivers do you think deserve a second chance?

[@coca-colatrackhousewarrior9925]

Jeff Gordon

[@sqweeps.03]

Kyle Petty🤡

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

Johanna Long

[@Nah_IdLose]

David Ragan(In Penske Xfinity)

[@samcentral6845]

Alfredo

[@tcjohnson3437]

Johanna Long . I have always considered that she was a hugh missed acquisition for a top tier team. In top equipment, she would have been the first female winner in Nascar.

[@kevinmingus3221]

I completely agree

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

YES YES 100X YES
Should have got a ride at JD, would have been awesome to see.

[@81casperflip]

Sucks she was around exactly the same time as Danica mania

[@TDDDDDDDO]

Danica should've stayed at IndyCar. She's good at that.

[@peepawghost]

Absolutely.

[@maureenobrien4968]

I would love if Marcos Ambrose came back for an Xfinity or Cup race. All he needs is a road course and a decent team.

[@makedragon]

Not even that, all he needs is a car that doesn't break down and that's it, he won in the Xfinity series in pretty underwhelming equipment multiple times.

[@markymarc12]

I will never forget the 2012 Watkins Glen Cup race

[@perhapscoleiro3164]

Highly likely he will never go back to America for himself. He's loving life at the moment in Tassie

[@jamesbraun9842]

With Australia COVID restrictions he won't be able to come up.

[@davidfabish-wood5278]

He’s old and retired now, he does driver coaching and guest commentary for Supercars rounds. When he came back in 2015 to drive for DJR Team Penske, he quit after two rounds because he wasn’t happy with his performances.

[@CarsSimplified]

It would be interesting if there was a non-points race that drivers get disqualified out of by winning a race in the previous year or ever winning a championship, but allowing the teams/cars to still run with a different driver. I feel like it would provide some great equipment opportunities for drivers like this, while also being an interesting experience for the fans.

[@Ultrase7en767]

So the all-star open?

[@CarsSimplified]

Had to look that up, but yeah, except it would be the main event instead of a qualifier, and the cars from big teams would have empty seats to be filled by drivers that otherwise wouldn't have a car. (I assume they don't do that in the open because those cars are being saved for the main event with their usual drivers.)

[@nothanksguy]

A fun idea, but good luck getting team owners to put their best cars and Best equipment in the hands of the unexperienced. There's a reason why teams don't just drop promising drivers and their top equipment, it is too financially risky.
Imagine A team's best car gets torn up in this event, or even their backup car gets torn up. That is a huge loss for a team

[@o7TailWhip]

My iracing league does this. Call it the biggest loser race. Its a blast

[@chada75]

Used to be call the Open.

[@boilercoasters8442]

James Buescher. Was a championship contender in trucks but then got placed at RAB racing in xfinity and didn’t have much success afterwards

[@catjudo1]

I would love to have seen an alternate timeline where Juan Pablo Montoya could have gotten hired on a good team after parting ways with Ganassi. It took him two or three seasons to really get the hang of oval racing in stock cars, but after that he was fast when the equipment was there. He also got to where he became a much more savvy and patient racer too. Had he stayed in Cup on a good team I think he would have won races; his top ten and top five totals the last few seasons were impressive. But I think in this universe Juan Pablo was getting tired of not winning and when the opportunities weren't coming, he went with Penske's offer to run in Indy car, where he had a career resurgance, and then went to run sports cars. There are only a handful of drivers who have won in Formula 1, Indycar, NASCAR and Le Mans, and Montoya is just about the most versatile driver of his era.

[@andyhayner8502]

One name came to mind when I saw the title of this video: David Reutimann. A lot of people won't agree but here are the facts: He finished 16th in points in 2010, while a future Cup Series Champion in Martin Truex Jr. finished 22nd in what was the same, if not better equipment than what Reutimann had. Unfortunately, Michael Waltrip Racing saw this as a sign that the equipment given to Truex wasn't matching his potential, and put every one of his assets toward getting Truex into a quality ride while also making room for Clint Bowyer. Having his decent tier equipment thrown into the dumpster had to have taken an emotional toll on Reutimann, and that combined with the lack of knowledge about how to get sponsorship (Went to BK Racing just to get a sponsor!!) led to him never stading a chance afterwards.
If that doesn't deserve a stand-alone video, than I don't know what will.

[@gabepollock1641]

I honestly think that what hurt Reutimann the most was his age. He was Truck Series ROTY in 2004, when he was 34 years old. If he broke through to the Trucks even 5 years earlier, he might’ve had another go of it after MWR for a team better than BK Racing.

[@vellbariaofficial]

I love to see Kasey Kahne, and Brett Moffitt racing with this 2nd chance they get. All of them deserved better chance as they developed.

[@deaf2819]

How much of a better chance could HMS have been? I think Kahne just got a damn bad luck deal lol.

[@vellbariaofficial]

@@deaf2819 saddest truth ever.

[@schl0moti0n]

Speaking of Parker Kligerman, I saw The door bumper clear podcast said that Parker was supposed to be in the 2nd rcr car full time in Xfinity for this year, but the deal fell through and it went to Austin Hill. One of the biggest what ifs in recent nascar history

[@Nah_IdLose]

I wanna see David Ragan return out of retirement in top tier equipment

[@chardab8824]

In the Reddit ama he said that if the right car comes to him he would run the 500

[@vellbariaofficial]

I love to see Ragan back to racing out of retirement

[@81casperflip]

Yeah! I met Ragan at Kansas speedway in his last full season. Super nice guy

[@jamesbraun9842]

Yes , I think after 2015 was his chance to show what he could really do. (He was selected by Kyle Busch as his replacement and than Brian Vickers and Michael Waltrip). Ran pretty much where he would have usually done.

[@xaviercupseries5216]

He did race in Cup at daytona with FRM

[@thefranchise4698]

For me, I believe Reed Sorenson deserved a second chance. Got rushed too early with Ganassi. Was a title contender in the Xfinity Series with Turner Scott but got fired. Scott Speed is a honorable mention

[@skoalbandito5025]

JJ Yeley. I feel like they rushed Yeley into the cup ride and they tried to make him the next Tony Stewart. He does decent in the xfinity and cup equipment he has when he races. I’d like to see him in something good for one last run.

[@basementstopmotionproducti8677]

Casey Mears is one that could use another chance, he got booted from his ride by Ty Dillion after building Germain Racing up from a start and park team, to a full time top 15 contending car. I think Mears could really shine in xfinity or trucks.

[@jamesdb7115]

Agreed. They were top 15 and solid, they fell off soon after Ty got the ride, though as a whole RCR equipment went downhill too.

[@jaredoaks6317]

His average finish was 25.8 with Germain over six years. He drove for RCR, Ganassi and Hendrick and got 1 win. He got all the chances you can expect one driver to get

[@MrJoe1129uscg]

Mears? Are you serious? Come on...

[@basementstopmotionproducti8677]

@@jaredoaks6317 While all that is true, I think he matured a lot as a driver and was becoming more consistent by the year throughout the 2010s , im just saying it would be nice to see him race in ok equipment for a couple more years, just to see what he can do. Remember, he made the 500 in 2019 in the #27 Germain Racing car, so he has at least something left in the tank.

[@mr.boomer8794]

Long was overshadowed by the Danica hype when she made it to Nationwide. I agree with the one comment I saw on here, if she would've gotten the JRM ride instead of Danica, there definitely would've been more success

[@SEproductions6950]

I’ve always wondered what it would look like if Trevor Bayne was more successful in NASCAR. Same goes for Gray Gaulding, hopefully he will find success somewhere.

[@bradroper7694]

Ty Majeski. A little known fact for us in the States is Marcos left Nascar to go drive for Penske back in Australia in . He ran 6 races in 2015 and then decided he had enough of racing. He fell off the radar until 2021 where he came back as a commentator for the Supercars Series for a few rounds. He did an Australian podcast where he explained everything with a guy named Greg Rust.

[@sjs3469]

Sam Hornish Jr really needs a second chance he really showed his talent in the nationwide series for Penkse and Gibbs, put him in the #22 in xfinity or even the #33 part time in cup and he would run really good

[@ScottXC91]

Hornish ran multiple seasons in Cup between both part time and full time. In Penske equipment. He never set the world on fire. Sure, back then Penske wasn’t the team it is today. But I don’t personally think his results would be much different regardless.

[@jamesbraun9842]

@@ScottXC91 Penske has always been a front running team. The problem was trying to run a full team instead of putting lots of money into two teams.

[@ScottXC91]

@@jamesbraun9842 Penske even 10 years ago wasn’t the Penske it is today. Sure they were good, but not as good as they are today. Regardless, my point was that a sub-par driver back then wouldn’t have been held back by equipment and wouldn’t do any better today. So yes, thank you for further validating my point.

[@vette1]

Johanna long was definitely one of the biggest ones to miss easily a top driver that just needed the resources to be consistent as well as being very marketable as probably could have been a consistent top driver given the chance

[@xNobodyOfConsequenceX]

I feel like Carl Edwards could have a career renaissance if he wanted to come back and race for JRM in Xfinity or even SHR in Cup.

[@DirigoDuke]

I’d love to see Timmy Hill get a full-time ride, any series, in decent equipment, although he doesn’t really qualify as a second-chance driver. He’s still waiting for his first chance! TIMMEHH!!!

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Marcos Ambrose. If he had good equipment. He win an oval race or two.
His race against Brad K at Watkins Glen was amazing

[@hockeylake7219]

Scott Wimmer was pretty good in the lower series and I would've liked to see another team give him an extended look after he left Bill Davis Racing

[@limestonebutter]

Think there were plans to get Scott in the RCR #33 in 2009 but sponsors didn’t want him

Get Timmy hill in a top-tier ride in any of the 3 series and I think he will get the job done. Also I’m going to agree and say Johanna long should come back and get an opportunity in some good equipment. Imagine what she could’ve done

[@therealmotorcyclemichael]

You said Marcus Ambrose only performed well at Watkins Glen..... He was leading at Sonoma when he shut the car off and couldn't restart it.

[@rampage7777]

Cameron Hayley, basically had his truck ride bought out from under him. Another year in trucks and I think he would've atleast won 1 race.

[@kylesanders8472]

I think Justin Allgaier deserves a second chance at cup, I mean we’ve seen what he can do in JRM equipment give him a decent-top tier ride just imagine what he can do then

[@catjudo1]

I'll second that. Lil' Gator was called up to Cup to run in the worst car on the grid and he knew it, but he probably felt a sense of obligation to the team owner. Sad that drivers his age are passed over now in favor of young ones that are all speed and not so much experience. Allgaier is wily and clever with his years, and I still think that counts for something.

[@davidpeters2625]

Elliott Sadler, even though he may not have much left, if you give him great equipment, in the truck series (like he had at KHI), you won't be disappointed with the results...

[@maley2552]

There's a 2012 Xfinity Qualifying session on youtube that took place at Richmond where Johanna took the underfunded 70 car and put it on the pole and was faster that the next 20 cars that went after her, she ended up qualifying 12th I think.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

11:57. Check out that "did not qualify" list. I miss the days of an entry list like that

[@Nerrt45]

Johanna Long was my first thought as well. Also, Austin Theriault had multiple top 5's and 10's in the Trucks with BKR in 2015, won the ARCA title in 2017, but could never get a strong, long-term foothold in the Big 3 series after that.

[@DirigoDuke]

As a fellow Mainer is echo that second call for Austin Theriault. My only fear is that he kinda got his bell rung a little too often and too loud that, as happened with Dale Jr., it might’ve taken the fire right out of him. Could he get that spark back?

[@jughead8705]

For awhile I've been wishing for a competitive "old guy car" in which every week we see the return of a different retired driver, and they don't just run in the back, either.

[@jamesbraun9842]

That would have been cool but many drivers who stay around too long just to be in a car brings down their credibility and marketability. Perfect examples being Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart knew when to hang it up so they went out on top. Other guys didn't know when to.

[@redracer1985]

Johanna Long definitely, I was a huge fan of her's when she ran in Trucks and Xfinity (and I haven't had an Xfinity favorite since), I felt like her career was shunned by all the attention focused on she who shall not be named (the one who drove the GoDaddy, Tax Act, and Natures Bakery cars) She took a team that was a near backmarker in that 70 ML Motorsports ride, and took it to top 20 finishes, even a few top 15s as well too, she did well with a ride like that. Drivers like her and Trevor Bayne (who I also really liked too) would be perfect for a Truck Series team.
Even though I have since found a current favorite woman in Nascar now in Hailie Deegan, I still wish for one day Johanna would come back.

[@Spitfirethedragon]

Casey Atwood if giving the chance like Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney? He would have won races.
Buckshot Jones, a popular driver who was a fan voted favorite for the All Star Race, could have been winning if he got some years like a young talent.
Hermie Sadler was the better driver than Elliott in the lower division, but he never got the big rides in NASCAR.
Matt Crafton, Jay Sauter, Jason Keller and David Gilliland can be the journeyman like Mark Martin. Mark Martin failed cup and went down to ASA and ARCA, and finally got a deat with Rousch. We need another Mark Martin type who worked himself back to the big boys.

I’ll echo all the ones saying Johanna Long, or Johanna Robbins, as she’s known now. But as a mom does she still have the fire. How does that change a woman’s perspective? I assume a lot more than being a dad affects a man. But if she still wants it, I’m confident she could be a regular Truck or Xfinity contender in ever moderately okay equipment. A few runs this year and a full-time ride next year, and I bet we’d see her in Victory Lane before Hailie Deegan. Which is not meant as a knock on Hailie. It would be great to see, for the first time in maybe ever, not just one but two genuinely capable and competitive women out there.

Had he been given a good ride in the late 2000s and 2010s, I think he would have been someone much similar to Ryan Newman

Screwed over by awful team situations

A coworker of mine and her husband were co-owners of a dirt modified racer in the early 2000's, and they "loaned" their ride to Riggs for an appearance at a "special" modified race in Iowa while he was still in NASCAR. When the car needed some work he "got his hands dirty" and helped them work on it. They were impressed.

I think Reed Sorenson could have done good in better equipment than Ganassi. I watched him come up from Legends cars and was disappointed when he signed with Ganassi. I feel his talent was wasted in the 41 car. I don't know if he would won championships but he would have been 1 to watch every week.
