Biggest NEGATIVE Surprises of the NASCAR Season So Far

*_Eric Estepp jumpscare!:O_*
You need to show us the bloopers!
It’s not that track house got slower, everyone caught them and passed them.
Yeah, I think this is exactly what happened. Especially with their road course program.
And wrecked them
Not like suarez is fire driver
it isn’t even a strictly Trackhouse problem imo. Chevy as a whole are down from where they started the year. If Honda joins, I don’t know why a team like Trackhouse wouldn’t join them.
@@owly4126Honda isn’t going to Cup, they’re likely going to the the EV series…. That’s a big Cope for the Chevy teams because all Hendrick drivers have been to victory lane.
Surprise? More like Surprise! Negative Pyramid!
Also do a video on what tracks you think should return to NASCAR
that intro was mortifying. horrifying, even. perhaps, even terrifying. so scary in fact, i suffered from a heart attack and am now hospitalized. not cool, eric.
This partially shows that Chevrolet drivers generally have higher expectations. 5 Chevy drivers on this list.
That jumpscare was more surprising than the way James Buescher won at Daytona back in 2012
Layne Riggs has had good speed this year. He’s just been very unlucky. Was running well at COTA before he had an issue. Was top 5 at Darlington until he was caught up in a wreck. Many other examples of rookie mistakes and bad luck put him in this spot. He’ll make a jump next year.
With what we saw with Daniel dye being awful last year and on the bubble battle this year, I think Layne might be able to be a contender next season.
Deegan was not a surprise
I thought Zane Smith would be on the list for sure! Also maybe Brandon Jones or Sammy Smith.
I feel like Thad Moffitt should’ve been on here. I expected him to be 20th-25th in truck standings but always finishes around 30th every race and is 30th in points
I’m surprised Brandon Jones and/or Sammy Smith for JRM aren’t on here
The first driver I thought of when looking at the title was Corey LaJoie. At the beginning of the season, I had him picked as the next first-time winner in Cup.
I can’t say I’m disappointed in Hailie Deegan. She has fulfilled my expectations.
Don’t count Ross out just yet. Remember, his only win last year was in the finale. No, he wasn’t in contention for the Cup, but still…it was a win.
I hope Kyle Busch can turn his season around somehow
Thanks for making me piss myself with that intro Eric. Thanks a lot.
