Greg Sacks’ only cup win in a car that did not have a single sponsor on it, the only logos on the car was the #10. th-cam.com/video/-oAsYNkfTvU/w-d-xo.html
I was at that race because our family business was sponsoring Corey LaJoie for the race. I have always been a Matt Dibenedetto since we sponsored him in the 32 at the same race the year prior. It was so sad to see him tear up. I got to shake his hand and wish him luck for the future though.

@@crash3366 I'm referring to the guys who won it in their third starts. Jamie McMurray, along with Red Byron, Norm Nelson, Chuck Stevenson, John Rostek, and Trevor Bayne, won it in their second starts.
Yeah that'd be an spectacle, but I guess that their money went to the infield renovation and I don't think they're willing to spend some more millions on installing lights and promote a night race
Dude I feel that I remember watching my favorite driver back in the day Tony Stewart lead on the final lap at Talladega on my birthday with the whole family watching before he got wrecked
I was always against Gray Gaulding in cup because he seemed rushed but dang I've been cheering for him ever since that move that almost won him the race
Same here. He always seemed like just another talentless, punk pay driver when he suddenly was put in a Cup car. But man, this year I can't help but be a fan of his. He has really matured and he's become one of those underdogs you can't help but root for.
I met Gray Gaulding at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he had a hauler and Gaulding was signing autographs! I got one and a souvenir car, and then we had a long conversation with his dad and we formed a friendship there and then
I never once rooted for anyone in a Toyota. But, when it was Matty D vs Denny, I was hollering and screaming for Matt to win and was so heartbroken when he didn't get it. But, I'm very glad that when I think sponsors or The Woods brother's asked Paul Menard who he thinks should be in the 21, the first set of words Paul said was "Go get Matt!" .
14:35 ...and something DID come up, and he's still racing. Multiple top 5 finishes this year and currently 14th in Points with four races to go before the cut-off. At the beginning of the year, people were saying Matty D wouldn't let us down, and boy were we right! Imagine the party if he makes The Chase! Matt Dibenedetto in 2020 has got to be one of the best Underdog Seasons in NASCAR history!
I remember the day of the Bristol night race I was telling my buddies at work that Matty D was gonna win and they thought I was crazy but I was so damn close to being right and on Monday they told me they wanted him to win too at the end
David Ragan winning Talladega was incredible. I remember getting my ass chewed for screaming so loud. That was incredible and for me, one my my favorite NASCAR memories. Me:RAGAN DRIVE GO GO GO My dad: SHUT THE FUCK UP( no one in my family is a NASCAR fan)
13:28 i was so sad that Dburritodo didnt win, that interview was so emotional that i wanted to cry, but i knew that what he did that race, he could one day win a race 👊😎.
Man, I was rooting for Matt to win so badly against Denny, thankfully (if I read correctly) that he has a ride for the 2020 season, so hopefully he can get that chance to stay for as long as he's hoping for. Though, not sure if theses guys count as underdogs but Marcos Ambrose's win against Brad K at the Glen and Regan Smith's win against Carl Edwards at the Southern 500 are my two favorite underdog wins.
I’m looking for the moment where there was a driver who had an emotional reaction to getting his all-time highest finish of 5th place. He couldn’t hold back tears and could barely talk. Does anybody recognize this driver?
I still don’t know how Justin Hayley won and not Byron. You watch the wreck, Byron came out second to Kurt Busch and Jimmie followed William. Kurt pitted. How does Justin Hayley who was way far back somehow get up front. And why didn’t Hendrick Protest? It’s clear that Byron should’ve been in first after Kurt pitted. Am I the only one who thought of this?

Bristol was only the beginning. DiBenedetto would get multiple second place finishes... and who was there to deny him the W every time, it seemed like? Denny Hamlin. It's why I call him The Dreamcrusher. You know what, though? Michael McDowell had our backs. 2021 in the Daytona 500 and again in 2023 at The Brickyard.
Maybe easier said than done. Considering the only time underdogs or rookies have a great chance at a win are either superspeedways or short tracks, and very, very rarely would you get a underdog win at a 1/2 mile track like New Hampshire, Las Vagas, or Auto Club.
Honestly I don’t think nascar liked Matt he lost at Bristol fair and square, but at talladega Denny went under the yellow line and they gave it to Hamlin and penitilised Matt cause apparently he hit Chris B to hard and made Denny go under so it would have been Matt or Williams win but no. Also isn’t it a coincidence that Matt and Denny fight for the win 1-2 and Denny wins everytime
Imo stage wins don't count.. Drivers would be way more aggressive if that was for the win and I doubt Ty would've been in those situations to win if it was for the actual win
That’s the thing. You have to consider the amount of time you have till the next race and the TV deal NBC has set and needs to get to for the next race. It’s the same reason why Aric Almirola’s win was the same way back in 2014 and why they had to run the Southern 500 late at night this year.
Any that I might have missed?
Maybe Dibendetto at the Daytona 500 this year? He led the most laps

What a moment that would’ve been
You mean STUNS THE WORLD!
Almost did it at Daytona during the night race. He needs a chance with a good xfinity ride because he can do something.
That is literally the best call from Mike Joy I have ever heard at 6:08 - 6:54
Talladega super speedway should have lights for a night race
Yeah that'd be an spectacle, but I guess that their money went to the infield renovation and I don't think they're willing to spend some more millions on installing lights and promote a night race
Yea I'd like to see a race with that many cautions causing it to be night time
A Talledega night race will be cool in the Playoff race. In October
Too expensive. And there is no need as Daytona is a small bit shorter and tighter but it is relatively the same.
That David Ragan Talladega win was sooo exciting
IKR! I think that is one of my favorite finishes of all time!
I was so upset that Matt DiBenedetto didn't win at Bristol. He is my fav driver and he would have won on my b day

@@orangesnailgaming OMG that sucks real bad
Nothing Denny Hamlin did wrong, but Ryan Newman held him up.
I met him when cosmo motors was a really big sponsor to him when he was in the 83 he is really nice too
Matty d is my favorite driver too, I reckon he'll get his first win this year
Matty D for the win! 🎯

He is the most underrated guy in Xfinity right now. He deserves a better ride for next season.
@Jacob Collantes if Gaulding had a better car Reddick might have gotten turned
At Talladega for the Xfinity race, I thought that Reddick was going to wreck, still sad that Gray Gaulding couldn't win

Man , I hope Matt gets at least one win next season ( would be awesome to see him get 4 )

Imagine if that was for the win.
Would’ve absolutely been the closest finish in NASCAR history. Probably like .0005 or less there...
@@johnathanbryan7015 What about the 2007 Daytona 500?
Matt gave everything he had that night at Bristol, our sport and fans live for the stories, I wish him well, I think his win is coming soon
Do Nascar Dark Horse moments (where people that usually finish in like 30th win)
I remember the day of the Bristol night race I was telling my buddies at work that Matty D was gonna win and they thought I was crazy but I was so damn close to being right and on Monday they told me they wanted him to win too at the end
Why is Tyler Reddick who races for RCR an underdog moment. Especially when he beats out Greg Gaulding. Not sure how this is a phenomenal win
it was gaulding as the underdog cause he almost won like the dibenedetto bristol race
Are you missing some brain cells?
10:41 is that Austin Dillon?
Which car?
Harvey Zelt no the other announcer
@@jam_plays_games My bad, yes that is Austin Dillon and Kevin Harvick was an announcer that race, too.
man that david ragan one put a huge smile on my face. listen to DW get excited for him

Great video!
Wow for just asking 12 hours ago this was made very quick
That camera angle @ 12:14 is awesome
9:30 anyone here after they both work with each other now?
Isn't the 2 car an RCR car in the xfinity series???
Yeah i guess it was an underdog for the damage on the car. He was the previous years champion so not much of an underdog.

They all pitted laps before Kurt because Kurt was trying to stretch it. When they said one to go, Kurt pitted, but Haley didn’t. That’s how.

@@jbaskinger41 so McDowell in the Daytona 400 in 2017 when he led some laps
Vine 6 sure
I hated it when Hamlin passed him for the lead, stealing his first career win from him. I booed him at first, but only at first.
This needs to be updated with custers win in Kentucky
I have never wanted to punch someone as much as I need when Larry said Brad won that race at Talladega. I don't know why it irked me the way it did.
I mean he did win that race
Matty D and Denny is one of my favorite and least favorite race.

Imo stage wins don't count.. Drivers would be way more aggressive if that was for the win and I doubt Ty would've been in those situations to win if it was for the actual win
