Elliott Sadler 2005, Jeff Gordon from the same year, Kevin Harvick 2004, Jeremy Mayfield 2000, Rusty Wallace 1985, Kurt Busch 2019, and Brad Keselowski 2013.
Thank you for starting this series. Whether it was you or black flags matter I wanted someone to do a series on season collapses. Thought its a great idea for a series. I know Dale jr season collapses 2008 has to be coming lol. Ran great all season up until the chase and then fell off big time. Only 3 top 10s in the chase and finished last among the chase contenders. Dale jarrett 2003 is another
That was a sad video to watch. I always knew he won 2 races in 2003, but I never realized how good the first half of that season was for him and how bad he fell off in the second half.....
After Michigan, Michael was 5th in points, 208 ahead of 11th place Tony Stewart. After his dumpster fire end to the season, he ended up 15th, 228 points behind 10th place Terry Labonte.
Joey Logano, 2017. Consistently rattling off top-five finishes before sealing a seemingly inevitable win… which looked to be the first of a good few on the season… only for the win to be encumbered. The #22 camp subsequently endured their worst season to date, as their pace and their finishes fell off of a cliff following the “hollowed” victory. I’d be interested in seeing the full story behind what the heck happened there.
I may not have been a NASCAR fan at this time (I was probably too young to understand it), but but I can see why fans love this time period. Such great engine sounds.
Kevin Harvick 2004 was 8th at 1 point and completely dropped out of the top 10 by Richmond and was a non factor for wins Jeff Gordon 2005 won 3 of the first 9 races and didn’t win until Martinsville and missed the Chase. Outside of Vegas, Atlanta 2, and Charlotte 2, ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE on 1.5 mile tracks Denny Hamlin 2007 Solid the first 26 races and FELLLLLL OFF Dale Jr & Kyle Busch 2008 Jr was top 5 for what it seems like the whole regular season and completely missed setups at tracks they went back to. Off of my head I can tell you 3 of his only top 10s in the Chase are Martinsville, Texas, and Phoenix. Other than that, TRAGIC. Kyle Busch completely was MIA in the playoffs Clint Bowyer 2009 First 10 races top 10 and dropped all the way to 15th by the end of the season.
That was the last season as a diehard fan. Not on purpose either I was in Jr High and became interested in other things but kind of crazy how a lot changed immediately after I stopped watching and also when I did watch was when NASCAR seemed to be at its peak. Definitely took it for granted. Honored to have been a fan during that era
Mikey was good on superspeedways and that’s about it he cashed in while DEI was at it’s peak would be interesting if MTJ was in the 15?2)3! Mikey was in his prime
That 2003 collapse was what started the decline for Michael because he didn't win at all in 2004 and then 2005 was even worse and Mikey crashed the most times that year. But still this was a splintered organization, and this is about the time where those issues began to manifest themselves.
Micheal Waltrip is a driver that just never got any chances. I will always believe he could have had great career with better cars. I don't think he was as good as Darrell but he definitely could have had a better go then what his cards dealt.

Here are some more recent season collapses (All near the end of the season) Kevin Harvick 2020 Michael Annett 2021 John Hunter Nemechek 2021 (depends on perspective)
What do you mean? He won the championship by winning 35 of 36 races, only losing to Timmy Hill once. If that's not a good season, I don't know what is!
I remember a Bristol race in which Michael easily had the fastest car...UNTIL he managed to drive it into every obstruction available to him. One of NASCAR's all time mediocrities.
Ya know what regardless of all of the bad the man just wanted to prove he could compeat and win and he did 2 Daytona 500s 1 @dega and a car owner with competitive cars well untill spin gate he accomplished more than any one would of ever had given him credit for !!
You should have included the interview he gave after he finished 3rd at Vegas. He literally did donuts in the infield after the race, and when they interviewed him he said he hoped everyone supported our president and the war in Iraq. It was so cringe.
What are some other huge season collapses you’ve seen in NASCAR?
Logano 2017?
Jeff Gordon 2005
Elliott Sadler 2005

After Pocono 2 his season just died.

Plate tracks: _MIKEYYYYYYYY_
Basically every other track: *_nah… Napa don’t know how…_*
You could bet money on Mikey at a super speedway otherwise it was napa no now
He won a race that didn't count, 1996 Winston, car 21
Michael ran very well at a lot of places in 2003.
Dale Jarrett 2003 almost fits this. Started out the first 2 races and fell off the map to 26th in points after this.

Curious as to what Mikey‘s point finish would have been had you substituted his DNFs for his running position at the time of the DNF
I absolutely loved that Napa car when I was a kid lol that and Stewart's home depot car are what got me into Nascar
After Michigan, Michael was 5th in points, 208 ahead of 11th place Tony Stewart. After his dumpster fire end to the season, he ended up 15th, 228 points behind 10th place Terry Labonte.
Was always a Michael fan rooted for him every week
Jeff Gordon and Elliott Sadler for 2005.
Joey Logano, 2017. Consistently rattling off top-five finishes before sealing a seemingly inevitable win… which looked to be the first of a good few on the season… only for the win to be encumbered.

I honestly feel bad for Michael
After his collapse in 2003, he never won anything in Cup again
RCR as a whole in 2009.
This is NASCAR “Bad Seasons” with extra steps!
(Still love it tho, here’s to a new series!)
Lol, kinda but not necessarily. For instance a season collapse can literally come in the last couple of races when running for a championship.
@@TheIceberg hmmmm, true.
I read the title as in “good season gone bad”. Whoops
@@TheIceberg Please do Jimmie Johnson 2012 for your next Season Collapses Vid

Kinda blows my mind that huge pack finished Talladega without wrecking on the last lap. Not used to seeing that anymore.
I hope you do more of this, maybe a series
After 2003 Michael’s career fell off a cliff.
A friend of mine STILL HATES Jeff Green for that accident at Bristol
Ruined Rustys day too. In that sweet Winston paint scheme.
Kevin Harvick 2004 was 8th at 1 point and completely dropped out of the top 10 by Richmond and was a non factor for wins

Kyle Busch completely was MIA in the playoffs
Clint Bowyer 2009 First 10 races top 10 and dropped all the way to 15th by the end of the season.
Love the content keep it up 👍
I'm Michael Waltrip's biggest fan since 1990. I love Michael Waltrip 💗

Some nice alternate schemes that year. Did any of the Winston Cup tribute schemes finish well? Was the black base at Loudon in tribute to something?
Wow, lots of carnage that season, definitely "All or nothing" for the #15 team in 2003
Season Collapses: Sterling Marlin 2005
@Kuromori 2002 he got injured you can’t say he collapsed
@@ballerbeast8283 yes he did he lost the points lead after Loudon and was in a free fall in the points
@@alexthesniper1952 he was about to rebound and then he ended up getting hurt for the season at Kansas

He did a donut after finishing third at Las Vegas

Although I wasn't alive. I find it astonishing that he went from a potential championship "contender" to an afterthought.
Here are some more recent season collapses
(All near the end of the season)
Kevin Harvick 2020
Michael Annett 2021
John Hunter Nemechek 2021 (depends on perspective)
It was funny to see Michael trying to shake the gas can off.
winning a plate race that's rain shortened is one of the worst ways to win
MIKEY!!!!!
Oooooooo a new series, I like it!
So if it weren’t for Dale Jr being laps down, Jimmie Johnson might’ve won his 1st 500 in only his 2nd start for the race
Jeremy Mayfield 2004. Dale Jr 2004 as well. Elliott Sadler 2004 and 2005.

Elliott Sadler 2005-2006
Real
Kyle Busch 2008 is another season collapse
Michael waltrip the man with more dnfs than finishes.
Still way better than Danica Patrick
Least he won twice
7:46 wait, when did nascar have a roof that you could pop out of lol
They’d still do
Michael Waltrip is the best driver in nascar period. Cannot believe napa didn't sign back on after spingate
Kasey Kahne 2006
His brother had the skill
my guess The Bristol nightrace killed his Carrer
Dale Earnhardt 1998
I remember a Bristol race in which Michael easily had the fastest car...UNTIL he managed to drive it into every obstruction available to him. One of NASCAR's all time mediocrities.
Ya know what regardless of all of the bad the man just wanted to prove he could compeat and win and he did 2 Daytona 500s 1 @dega and a car owner with competitive cars well untill spin gate he accomplished more than any one would of ever had given him credit for !!
I think Michael Waltrip could've won more times in the early 2000's
Leave it to slap bfl
*DW would not approve*
Can you stop hating on Mikey so much. He was a better driver than his given credit for. We all know you have a bias against DEI after 2002. Shameful
You should have included the interview he gave after he finished 3rd at Vegas. He literally did donuts in the infield after the race, and when they interviewed him he said he hoped everyone supported our president and the war in Iraq. It was so cringe.
First
Most overrated driver in NASCAR history only given a ride because of his last name.
He didn’t actually win the 2003 race since it was rain shorted not a real win.
Michael Waltrip was always garbage... he got Jr's team that won (what?) 6 races the year before? He's never been good... just had a superior team...
I wouldn't say garbage, I mean he had twenty years of driving cup cars and only a few wins but he's still a talented driver.
@@COCarDude 4 wins, all at plate tracks...
@@tanjirouzumaki144 he may not have been a great cup driver, but the fact that he got paid to drive in cup for that long shows he had some talent.
Danica Patrick makes Michael Waltrip look like Jeff Gordon
Leave Michael Waltrip ALONE !!!
