Right which is why I said yes and no lol. In all actuality, the 28 and 88 stopped being competitive after 2001. The 38 was only competitive in 2004 but not much else except front row starts etc. Sad, I loved that #38 but it just wasn't competitive
As a Dale Jarrett fan, I am ready for the pain. Would need to recap his God awful 2003 season. Had a great first two races, and then fell off of a cliff. That was brutal!
With joy, but I missed the finish live. Didn't record it either. I would have been 14 at the time, and I was biking back from a family function for some reason. Yates qualified and ran well at the restrictor plate tracks, so this was his best shot to win. He had a realistic chance to make the Chase that year, but collapsed down the stretch of the regular season.
16:28 he got his ride just "because he won a busch race?" bruh i think he was the only non-Cup guy to win a busch race that year, and he did it in an unsponsored car too. Thats a pretty impressive accomplishment
Don’t get wrong it’s impressive but it doesn’t change the fact it was a massive fluke. His career best Busch series finish before the Kentucky win was 29th and his best finish afterwards before clay Andrews racing shut down was 26th. Outside of some strong superspeedway runs he was a massive bust at Yates and hasn’t accomplished much of anything in his career outside of said win
As a longtime fan, since birth, practically (35 now, so it gives you a good idea of how long i've been watching lol), love your videos & enthusiasm dude. This was one of those teams I liked growing up, & was sad to see shut down after ALL they did (despite still building engines to this day I think). Always loved them, & Morgan-Mcclure (had to, especially when hometown icon Kodak was the sponsor for years), seeing them downfall so fast disheartened me. Yates had such talent for years. Sadler could have been something, but this year was when everything went downhill. Jarrett leaves for MWR to finish on a sour note, gets replaced with Skeet Ulrich's uncle (Ricky Rudd), who's last year was 'meh', Sadler leaves halfway to go to dumpster fire Evernham (gotta love the Mayfield incident...oh, that has plenty to talk about on every platform lol), gets replaced by David Gilliland in a head-scratching rush-up move, then we see Travis Kvapil come on board down the road, & alas....history for RYR. Such a whimper for a team that was so dominant for years.
This was pretty much the nail in the coffin. Other than Stephen Leicht winning at Kentucky in 2007 in the Busch Series, things were done for Yates Racing. It was depressing too as I still have memories of the classic era of the Quality Care Ford and DJ winning the title and while the 2000 Daytona 500 was boring, Jarrett winning his third was still a moment I treasure to this day. I still miss the team but Front Row Motorsports has inherited the spirit of Robert Yates Racing in my opinion from a multitude of factors, especially performance on plate tracks.
The 38 team could use some stability (three different rookie drivers in the last three years) but McDowell in the 34 has come a long way from that kid in the 00 car at MWR who hit the wall head-on at Texas in '08...
I loved this video. You did a great job! I really enjoyed watching. One suggestion I do have is to remove the NRF logo in the middle of the screen, but other than this is awesome. Love your channel buddy!
I'm still a believer that Yates should have traded Sadler to Roush for Ragan and that way they could have had Gilland and Ragan in the 38 and 88 respectively while Sadler could have taken over for Mark in the 6 car and probably could have won Roush another title if he was in that ride.
@@deathtowrestling2518 Well considering he in the nationwide series could have been champion at least once I'm sure if he was at Roush in his prime he would be up there for a title.
Or RCR in '09 when they had FOUR teams and NONE of them (not even Harvick) made the Chase, while SHR made the Chase with BOTH their teams in their first year together... and even JPM at Ganassi made his one Chase appearance that year...
2006 is why I continue to defend David Gilliland to this very day. It wasn't his fault at all. Sadler and Jarrett weren't doing jack shit either. Sadly, it seems the other teams didn't see it that way and he never got another decent shot in Cup.
No offense but Jarrett won Dega with Parrot that season and Bobby Labonte and Parrott were doing fine together in 06 I don’t know where u are getting your information …

If Nascar 07 released for 360 and PS3 Sadler appears with Evernham suit on the cover Gilliland drives 38 and Stephen Leicht in 90 Busch Series car.
