tried a new video style! thoughts??
@RawGatorits PERFECT
Morgan & Morgan screwed me when I hired them after I got hit on my motorcycle. They left me with less than 1/3 of the settlement, definitely wouldn’t recommend.
@AreaNinety ouch
@RawGator Lovin This!
I love seeing that you posted a video, always brightens my day
Jimmie Johnson is one of the GOATS, hes on the mount rushmore of NASCAR. Great driver.
Nope Nascar mount Rushmore is
1 Dale Earnhardt
2 jeff Gordon
3 Richard petty
4 David Pearson
@Traxxas and Nascaryou forgot Kyle Busch
@Traxxas and NascarRichard Petty os number 1
@Isaac43. nope Earnhardt is try again
He only has 7 due to the playoffs. In a season where every race matters he doesnt…
It’s a good day when raw gator uploads
6:25 this is exactly why we need the chase or full season points back the chase actually had memorable moments instead of the playoff format
If you had all year long points, people going for it wouldn’t happen as often.
Its been 20 years, Time for people to let full season points GO.
@Jeremy Leechthese moments are fake and everyone knows it. And the ratings prove this. If you want to give drivers some incentive to not be content with a “top-10” finish at the end of the season, then differentiate finishing positions points wise. Like F1 does, for example. Even a kid, based on unofficial “top-xx”s can create such a system (40th is 1 point for finishing last, 39-31st +1, 30-21st +2, 20-16th +3, 15-11th +4, 10-6th +5, 5th +10, 4th +15, 3rd +20, 2nd +25, 1st +30 which is 190 points for a win). But there is too much meth and coke down South to do this. NASCAR will continue to endlessly moan about sinking ratings and ask themselves “why to do?”.
I agree with you, but Carl wouldn’t have won that either. Harvick, Logano, and Busch had more points than him.
@Роман Бекиров every sports tv ratings are down. You can’t blame that on a points system that hasn’t been a full season since before their biggest year. Let the past stay in the past. Adapt
that caution with 10 to go really became dylan lupton’s defining legacy
DENNY WOOOOOOOOo
Jimmie is a legend
JOHNSON never gets old
I never knew Kenseth got eliminated like that. That is one of the WORST moments in NASCAR I have ever seen lmao
Bowman with the late block on the 18 started all that.
You know its a good week when RawGator uploads TWO videos in the SAME WEEK.
i know this story is about JJ…but come on, you gotta feel the heartbreak for carl edwards.i never knew exactly why he left, and this sums it up pretty clearly.a janky championship format, making it to the top 4, running solid, and get screwed cause nascar wanted to play games.what a trip.
Keep in mind that without the Chase/Playoffs, he would be a 2-time Cup Series Champion. (2008 and 2011)
For me what really cements Jimmie Johnson as the possible GOAT of NASCAR is when in 2004 he won the very next race after the Hendrick Motorsports plane crash that claimed the lives of all 10 people onboard. To recover from such tragedy and come close to winning a championship in the face of that, when so many great drivers would have been derailed (for a recent example, see MTJ after Sherry Pollex passed away), cements prime Jimmie Johnson (and Chad Knaus for that matter) as being, for lack of better words, “built different.”
“These championships aren’t like the ones Petty and Earnhardt won. I’d rather go out and win races.”
— Kevin Harvick 2020
Sooooo right! Like don’t get me wrong, I like Jimmie and he’s one of the greatest drivers, but this playoff system doesn’t reward the best driver of the year a championship anymore!
@Brian5995M And it hasn’t since 2004. I mean, I’m not saying it never happens, (it happened in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2019, and 2021) but when it does happen, it’s only by chance.
I agree though, this doesn’t necessarily warrant hatred towards Jimmie Johnson; the man was just doing his job. You can’t blame a guy for doing what he gets paid to do.
Jimmie Johnson is one of the best NASCAR drivers of all time. 83 Career Wins, 7 Championships, and a 2 time Daytona 500 Winner is just a little bit of his legacy, I started watching NASCAR a year before his 7th championship and to see him win it the next year was insane. There will never be a another 7 time champion, there will only be three, Earnhardt, Petty and Johnson the three best NASCAR drivers of all time.
Still tragic what happened to Carl here. Very sad this is how he went out.
I never tired of it once.. loved all 83!
I missed the accident because of my cable but it was always my favorite Championship race of this playoff format. Very sad that Carl stepped away from racing and I never saw him on TV ever since.
We’ll never know but with what we know now about the final four race and nascar being involved near the end… did logano get told to go easy on the next restart? Did nascar want Jimmie to get that 7th and then Blaney pays it forward to logano for his.
Crazy to think about but winning 5 titles in a row does get forgotten. It’s possible the popularity of NASCAR took a hit because no one could stop Jimmie, but however you look at it 5 in a row is just an insanely ridiculous feat.
