You can hear the frustration in DW's voice on a lot of these clips. Watching his brother and his team try, and fail.
DW went through the same frustration with his 17 team from 95-98
@Konodioda 2001
"Oh, for Pete's sake, brother!"
Ikr. I thought he was gonna cry 😭
I was thinking that same thing. Especialy that wreck at Charlotte, you could tell...
OH FOR PETE SAKE BROTHER!
Scott Morgan you could hear the frustration. Felt bad for em both. You can tell there's still a lot of love there tho and that's what matters. Me? I would've thrown my mic and headset down and walked out xD better man than me.
damn dude i almost feel worse for dw
ChuggersLR same
Honestly, this video more than anything illustrates just how strong Nascar was in 2007. Car counts were the best by far in the modern era, I remember most races that year getting 50+ entries, and almost all of those 50+ were fully sponsored, full time teams and drivers. Start and park teams and field fillers pretty much didn't bother even showing up that year. The fields were so strong that fairly large teams with even mid pack drivers like MWR and Red Bull were DNQing on a regular basis. Qualifying was intense and actually worth watching to see those guys like Waltrip give it everything they had just to qualify 43rd and make the race, sometimes pushing too hard and failing. Such was the case for the Busch series as well in 07. But then Nascar introduced the COT and things were never the same again. I truly wonder where Nascar would be today had they just stuck with the gen 4 car, and not tried to fix what wasn't broken.
It was a awful timing to switch to COTs also.
What will it honestly take to get that high of car counts again?
Affordability. Plain and simple
This video in five words: “Oh, for pete’s sake, brother!”
Hearing DW's commentating is just depressing
His personal life wasn't any better. Divorced with Buffy around this point.
AutoRockinRacing94 it almost looked like he spun himself out when he was qualifying at Charlotte. I felt bad for him.
My wife thinks he’s gay.
@@rubatowolf1170 His car got loose in the marbles and the car lost traction as soon as he tried to get out of it. Definitely didn't wreck himself on purpose.
Didn't Dale Jarrett have an affair with her?
Those 2007 Toyota’s were so damn good looking
Noah Fulks if only they performed as good as they looked
Naw chevy
It should've been Waltrip in the Burger King car instead of Reutimann/Jones. "Yo dawg, I heard you like flames, so we put flames on your car you can flame while you flame." www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/P+J+Jones+Toyota+Save+Mart+350+Practice+uue_rzRZ1zAl.jpg
@@BLyonsDesign, how come it took having Joe Gibbs Racing aligning with Toyota to get Toyota performing real good?
@@tomdalfonzo9959 All of the teams that Toyota was with in 07 were either completely new teams or ones that had been going downhill in performance over the years. Gibbs was really the first good team they were with
6:14
Rockingham in 1975.
IMO, Michael Waltrip, despite the scandals with MWR, should be recognized for blazing his own trail in becoming a NASCAR Cup Series team owner, and helping to bring a brand new auto manufacturer into NASCAR.
You could do a whole video on Toyota and the 2007 season. It was rough all around
Be on the look out for it
to be fair a new manufacturer who only was signed to shit teams wasn't gonna be very good
got a ton better when JGR signed on in 08
2007 wasn't a good year to come into Nascar period. Running the CoT for some races meant they'd have to build 2 different types of cars that year.
On a related note,maybe do one on Pontiac in 1994 or 2003.
At least Pontiac got an win in their final year in NASCAR. Ricky Craven at Darlington in 2003.
Bad Seasons: Dale Earnhardt, 1998
He won the Daytona 500 that year, but statistically that would end up being one of his worst yearly average finishes in his entire career
didnt he get hurt that year too?
Nicky D yes, in the All-Star race I believe
1992 and 1997 were worse.
No he didn't. He won one race and finished 12th in the points, right in the middle of a span of five years that saw him win four championships.
Brentanic Talladega I think. He was in a big wreck where both him and Bill Elliott were upside down and on fire
With all do respect, I like Mikey as that goofball NASCAR TV personality on Fox Sports and I respect him for being DW's little bro. But lets face it, most of Michael Waltrip's Cup seasons were bad! A good year for Mikey would be the average drivers mediocre or bad year. I'd say MW's good years were the DEI years obviously and when he scored his first non points race win in The Winston in '96 with the Wood Brothers!
Bad Season- Micheal Waltrip 1986-2017
Sad but true!
So... a NASCAR bust?
Nascar busts don’t win 4 races and 2 daytona 500s
@@Nah_IdLose Yeah I know, BFM even uploaded "Michael Waltrip Was Better Than You Think" for this reason.
he started gaining a little momentum at the end of the season by qualifying on the pole at Dega, then finishing 10th, 18th and 11th in the next 3 races but lost it when he dnq'd the final 3 races of the season
Dammit Mikey!! Now we’ll never know where Ricky Rudd made his first NEXTEL Cup Series start.
To answer your question Rockingham in 1975.
How the hell does one Waltrip be one of the best drivers in the era that he raced in, and the other only take 4 wins. Maybe Michael wasn't a champion, but he was definitely worth a lot more success then he had with the dumpster fire cars throughout his career. Some of those teams he raced for were nothing more then low mediocrity
As far as why Darrell was so far above Michael, he had a lot more help from his dad getting started. He built Darrell cars and took him to the track to get him going and was pretty hands on with his early career. By the time Michael started, his dad didn't want to help and Darrell was too busy racing IN Cup, so he had to do it mostly on his own,
Brad Keselowski 2013
Jeff Gordon 2005
Kasey Kahne 2011
Clint Bowyer 2016
Danica Patrick her entire career
More like Kasey Kahne 2007.
Jeff Gordon's 2008-2009 seasons were worse.
At least in 2011, Kahne won a race. 2007 was miserable for him.
Oh, and 2010 was bad for Kasey.
Jimmie Johnson 2018... It will be your top vid
Wow that hurt to watch especially his qualifying crash in Charlotte but it’s weird seeing where Toyota was in 2007 compared where they are now and what they accomplished in the 2017 season
I remember following the first part of Waltrip's 2007 season, because after the Daytona 500 & the penalties he got for the fuel additive he was sitting at _-27_ points to start the year, and because he missed the next _11_ races in a row he was dead last in the points race with _negative_ points until mid-June.
Dale Jarrett completely destroyed what was left of his career in that 44. He had to slink out the back at Bristol in 08.
we all got to appreciate him though for breaking his back to help Toyota get information on nascars cup series and stuff like that. without him Toyota wouldn't be as great in the sport without his efforts.
StreamCheese wish Toyota never came in
John Boy Toyota is helping the sport stay alive lol
@@Bobert27 By buying all their success? Fuck Toyota, and fuck all the people that pull for them.
@@DerrickRG Cry about it Chevrolet simp
Ive been binging on your content and its so good. Would like a little more narration though. Also you should do a nascar busts on danica patrick for sure
2007 was one word for Michael Waltrip: Abysmal and/or Awful. I know that's two words but I know Michael had to feel either one or both of those words. Toyota didn't even win a single race in their first season in the Cup Series.
BowserFan4Life Gaming At least Toyota ended up doing better in NASCAR than they did in Formula One--they never got much better there...
Back when cars missed the field on qualifying time. Now they can't get even get 40 cars per race.
On the subject of Michael Waltrip Racing, you should do a Bad Seasons episode on Dale Jarrett's 2007 season, which forced him to retire a year later.
What a mess of a season. He looked so out of place and destroyed what was left of his career.
If he went to a more competitive team such as maybe going to Hendrick's #25 he could've retired with maybe 3-4 more career wins after 2007. MWR wasn't going to start off great so early being in their first year with 2 full-time teams and being with a new manufacture
@@chancegheno8096 The problem was that DJ's career was already on a decline, as he stopped winning after 2005 and his consistency wasn't in the same level as 2002. Moving to a top-tier team such as Hendrick or Joe Gibbs Racing wouldn't have guaranteed him a win, but maybe hopes of making the Chase. In the end, it was age that caught up with him, and joining a fledgling MWR just made things worse than it should've been.
what really hurt him was the Daytona penalty
he was negative in points until midseason
combined with Toyota's being absolute garbage in their first year
Something to ask here. With that knowledge of Toyota being absolute garbage in their inaugural year, how was Joe Gibbs Racing able to be enticed to align with them?
The knowledge that they would be Toyota's sole priority, instead of being one of the five major Chevy teams.
Hmmm, 10 dislikes? mustve been ALL of Mikey's fans down voting the video lmao.
Great video BFM. Keep up the great content bro!
He wasn't the best driver but don't shit talk him
The fuel that MWR used in his cars was not unspecified. I read his autobiography called “In a Blink of an Eye,” in the last chapter when he talked about his team and that incident, he said that he used jet fuel and methanol additives. In the book, Waltrip says that him and his crew had no idea what had happened.
An idea for bad seasons would be Kevin Harvick-2002
And I just realized ironically enough that was the video recently posted! 👍
Lol 😂 "The racing Gods wld make him pay" & they rightfully did
Let's be honest if it wasn't for jgr toyota would have been out in 3 years
If only...
2007 was so bad that if rob Kaufmann would not have invested they would not have made it to 2008. I wonder if jarrett retired early due to money problems. He was supposed to drive till 09.
I guess Darrell had it and Mikey didn't. But how the heck can one be so bad while his brother was such a success!?
Mikey was not that bad
@@hunterwade9030He totally was. He won 4 races and all were plate tracks, he couldn’t do anything in the 30 other races that mattered.
@@IBangedUrMom69420 he grades out as average
Interesting how MWR bookended it’s full time Cup existence with scandal. Shame it somewhat overshadows the success they had in the early 2010s
You can do this with Darrell also, more about his last years
Idea for a series: Good races. Usually for drivers that were either busts or those that usually didn't do very well. Like Casey Mears' Coke 600 win, or Danica Patrick's top 5 in the Bud Shootout. I know, lot of Danica hate here, but just an idea. Haha
Bad season: All of Toyota camp in 2007.
2007 restrictor plate cars were so obnoxious. 13 inches higher than the 1.5 mile cars haha. They were as tall as the COT
If you’re looking to do another two part series. Ricky Craven 2003 and 2004
Advance_Auto18 not 2003 he won a race that season
StreamCheese But he finished 27th in points
StreamCheese Look, Dale Jr got one in 2005 and he also got a win yet finished 19th in points.
Scary Butter but in his career 2003 was one of his best 2004 was horrible tho
StreamCheese THAT DOESN’T MATTER SINCE HE FINISHED 27TH IN POINTS! THAT IS AN ATROCIOUS SEASON! IT DOESN’T MATTER MUCH IF HE GOT A WIN!
Darrell put it best when he said, "Come on Mikey."
it's really bizarre that he had more top 10 finishes and a better average finish in a season where he didn't qualify for half his races than the previous year
as much as I loved the designs of Michaels Cars in 2006 & 2007.... the on track performance was tragic. Leaving DEI to go to Bill Davis/Doug Bowel was a Mistake running non-Dodge Supported Chargers and then struggling with Toyota and scams within MWR in 2007....... YIKES
Even with the daytona issues I call mwr dealing with lots of teething issues from a brand new car with a brand new team I suspect this happens
I love Michael Waltrip 💗 I'm Michael's biggest fan ❤️
Bad Season: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 2018- 2019
This kills me as a racecar driver. You can hear it in Mikeys voice there in the Qualifying run at, looks like texas? Just awful
Charlotte, Coke 600.
Do a nascar bust on casey mears
Wait what Casey Mears Had A Few Wins And Had a Pretty good Cup Carrer
@@BobbertYates Not with the last name of Mears. He sucked.
@@DerrickRG yes because being on the worst Verison of Chip. Then switched to the 4th car at HMS (test car) and then the 4th car at RCR. Then had to build on entire team from scratch
Bro at this point , just do a '' Bad Careers '' one for Mikey
The fuel additive was said to be jet fuel
It's both funny and sad to hear DW getting increasingly more frustrated at Michael
I really like your videos, however, I feel like you failed a little on this. Your forgot to mention in pt. 1 that racing with a new team is hard, and racing with a new car (Toyota) is even harder!!! I will admit, MW was stupid for getting busted with the fuel additive. BUT, in 06-7, how many wrecks where his fault? He was either collected in several accidents or had tires go down. So, was 06-7 bad seasons? Yes, but mostly for reasons beyond MW control.
Plus with BDR/Waltrip-harper in 2006, they had no factory support from Dodge due to circumstances beyond Michael's control, and most of the resources Bill did have went to Dave Blaney's car. As for 2007, a newish team with a brand new manufacturer, no owners points and jumping from one car to three was an insane jump for anyone to make.
maybe the single worst season of the 2000's by any driver and any team. Waltrip was in over his head as an owner and he wouldve been better off focusing on the busch or truck series first.
I wouldn't be able to commentate if my bro was racing
Bad Seasons - Jeff Burton 2004
Bad Seasons - Denny Hamlin 2013
Bad Seasons - Martin Truex Jr. 2014
Mark Martin 2006, Jeff Gordon 2008, 2009, and 2013, Kasey Kahne 2007, Kurt Busch 2012, Bill Elliott's entire McDonald's team tenure, Andy Houston 2001, Mike Skinner 2003, Tony Stewart 2013-2015, Kyle Larson 2015, Brendan Gaughan 2004, Rusty Wallace 2003, Bobby Labonte 2004-2005, Dale Jr. 2009, Greg Biffle 2013-2016, Rusty Wallace 2005, and some other ones.
Oh, and Kasey Kahne 2010.
Do Bad Seasons: Denny Hamlin 2013
he already did
As much as it hurts to say... Bobby Labonte's 2005 season was not great. As a fan it wasnt a fun season to watch
That season was also the last chance he would battle for a win at a non-restrixtor plate race
Bobby wasn’t the same after Chicago 2003.
Michael Waltrip is the worst driver in nascar period.
Do Bad Seasons: Dale Earnhardt, 1998.
I love this series you do of past and present drivers' worst career seasons. Keep it up buddy! I subscribed to you and hope you subscribe back. You have a great channel and your content is awesome and very entertaining
Why did the car change in the middle of the year
They tested the COT in a few select races in 2007.
Worst season ever by a nascar cup winner
at least this season, he ate the costs.
Bad seasons: Dale Jarrett 2003, 2006, 2007
Not gonna lie. I kinda miss qualifying.
Now I gotta tell you, these two seasons were pretty bad, but his brother put up two even worse seasons for Haas-Carter in 1999 and 2000. Carl Long is still salty to this day.
VACATETHE48 I dunno. Carl has dealt with much worse since
Oh, I'm aware. He's definitely not gotten any help.
his whole carreer was meh i do love him as a broadcaster
Bad seasons: Dale Earnhardt Jr, 2016
They put FUCKING JET FUEL UNDER THERE CAR
This is painful to watch. And remember the divorce?
Bad Seasons: Kurt Busch 2012
OH FOR PETE’S SAKE 😂
Bad Seasons: Michael Waltrip 2005
people were cheering at 2:00? tf?
The guy had just been busted with freaking jet fuel in his car the week before, and his team had stolen tools from Roush that weekend. This was karma, pure and simple.
And there's a subsection of Junior Nation who subconsciously blames him for Dale's death, but I think the former is what caused most of the cheers.
maybe thats what toyota and stewert haas os doing
Jesus is not a cuss word.
"Damn, Karma is a bitch!".......for what exactly?
AFLAC!!!

"Micheal Waltrip is the worst driver in Nascar Period." - Clint Bowyer th-cam.com/video/V8CippcqBpI/w-d-xo.html
Jeff Gordon?
A Very Wise Wolfy NEVER
4 wins in 23 years according to 2007, most overhyped drive I believe.
Who the hell was overhyping him? I don't think you understand what that term means.
Before Joe Gibbs, there was Michael Waltrip Racing... the original cheatin' Toyotas... ;-)
Or maybe he just sucked as a driver.
Michael Waltrip is the worst driver in nascar history
Thank you, Clint Bowyer.
*worst driver to ever win the Daytona 500, TWICE.
Blame jack roush and blame ford
Blue Cat how so?
The only mistake Dale Sr had as an owner was thinking Michael Waltrip was actually any good at racing.
Good ol Toyota Junk!
