What is the Luckiest NASCAR Win?
Переглядів 6 тис.День тому
When you think about it, winning a NASCAR race is pretty hard. A driver has to beat roughly 40 other racers on track, not to mention the physical and mental strength it requires. Winning a NASCAR race puts you in elite company, as only 204 people have ever won at NASCAR’s top level. But as many of you know, luck often plays a huge factor in who wins a race. Factors like fuel strategy, pit road ...

If you ask any driver what their biggest fear is, the majority of them will say fire. Back in the early years of stock car racing, and racing around the world, drivers would go as far as not wearing seatbelts at high speeds so they would not be trapped in a burning car. But on the 15th of May, 1992, this nightmare would come to life for one driver. This is a driver’s worst nightmare - the truly...

Fred Lorenzen winning at Bristol in '64 after Richard Petty led 442 laps has to be up there. Petty broke a rear end gear on the last lap. I've actually done the same thing Mark did. In Papyrus's NASCAR 1, I usually hit "A" to accelerate time after the checkered flag waved, rather than wait for everyone to pit. But there was one time when I was really tired that I hit "A" when the white flag waved! Unfortunately I can't recall who benefited from my goof.
Danica kissed the wall more than her boyfriend
STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMEN CANNOT DRIVE....LET ALONE RACE, PERIOD.
This is why EVERY SPORT HAS TO HAVE A FEMALE COMMENTATOR
Did she even ever win a race? Cuteness does not count
What about the other way? I remember in an Indy car race, maybe even the 500, someone tony Stewart, Robby Gordon, I forget but was an eventual cup driver just getting started, and they had a five lap lead and decided to pit for gas with 10 to go just to be safe, and they never came out of the pits. That winner was probably lucky too, now that I think of it.
I was going to say when Michael waltrip was passing for fifth at the same time the top four all wrecked each other, but when the whole top ten does it and you go from 11th to first that beats that.
I wanted to like this video until you mentioned “Dallas” It’s in FORT WORTH!
There was that race at Bristol where Mark Martin pulled off the track a lap early while leading. Don't remember who won, but he wasn't going to catch Mark.
i already knw bro is gonna put there austin dillon
2022 Pocono. Elliott won because of a couple pieces of tape.
Honestly I’m surprised you didn’t mention Chase Elliott’s win at Pocono in 2022. Elliott originally finished 3rd but after post race inspection, original winner Denny Hamlin and Second place Kyle Busch were found to have some sort of clear tape on their grill. Elliott was handed the win with 0 laps led by
Any Daytona race Earnhardt lost with 10 or less to go is the luckiest win anyone can get.
Michael McDowell winning the 2021 Daytona 500. McDowell had the whole world in front of him, which caused a big wreck that took out a few finishers & allowed him to advance. Bobby LaBonte winning the 2003 Ford 400. Bill Elliott ran outta gas in the final corner, & LaBonte claimed a last-minute victory, which would prove to be his last Cup Series win. Geoff Bodine winning the 1986 Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt cut a tire (iirc ?) & had to go to pit row which allowed Geoff Bodine to cross the finish line & cruise towards a win.
Chase Elliot’s 2022 Pocono win I think is the luckiest due to the top 2 being dq
Jeff Gordon’s 2012 Pocono win and Kyle Busch’s 2021 Pocono win are up there.
When Jeremy Mayfield robbed da bank
Jeff Gordon won a race at Pocono where all four drivers in front of him wrecked simultaneously, during the caution for that very wreck it started raining and the raced was called short. That had to be his luckiest win.
Sadler went threw some nasty craches
Austin Dillon on the 500. He was maybe the 23rd best car on that day. The problem is that the top 20 or so wrecked then he wrecked Almirola for the win. All his wins are luck or a good strategy call by his crew chief. Dude has never driven to victory.
Kyle Busch Pocono 2021 has to be an honorable mention. Last on lead lap, melted clutch, stuck in 4th gear, direct drive.
I would consider Joey Logano The Luckiest Driver in NASCAR History
for sure, he's in the conversation. To have two titles because of the current playoff format where he wouldn't be close to a title in the Latford system says a lot.
Michael Waltrip's 2004 Nashville "win".
Still more eventful than most f1 races 😅. (F1 fan myself)
Funny make this video, and then Eckes leads every lap at Nashville😂
Surprised Chase Elliott's 2022 Pocono "win" never got mentioned here
Ya I’m pretty sure he didn’t even lead a lap
justin haleys nascar career is full of lucky wins, his truck series win at canadian tire motorsports park, the coke zero 400 win, his two xfinity wins at daytona
204 winners in cup or at the top 3??
Cup only. You can probably add another 200ish from the other two.
Need to add: Chris Buescher at Pocono 2016 and Jody Ridley at Dover 1981 (7 laps down!).
Top3 luckiest wins, in kronological order because I really can’t decide out of them.Mark Martin’s choke of a lifetime at Bristol.2013 James buscher pressing self destruct on the top10.Justin Hayley getting basically getting a little bit of both of them, which now I think about it may have the slight edge over the rest.
Derrike Cope in the 1990 Daytona 500 is the luckiest win. No question about it. Dale had that race in the bag before that tire gave out.
Burton at Darlington 1999 winning in the rain with a car that was literally junked is the one that comes to mind for me.
Did Am Racing fire Hailie Deegan? Joey Lagano will be driving Hailie's #15 Xfinity car this weekend.....
Fraternity Order of Eagles cars always finds the absolute weirdest ways to win at Daytona 😂
All of Austin dillon wins have been luck
I would add stenhouse's win at Iowa in 2011 where he blew a motor while leading on the last lap and still won cause Carl Edwards spun into him and pushed him across the line first
Justin Haley Cup Daytona 2019 and it's not even close!
richard petty 1979 daytona 500 win was lucky imo
James Buescher making his way through the last lap wreck to win definitely counts as a lucky win.
*_Ive won a race upside down before…_*
Zane Smith at Nashville yesterday Oh wait...
Oh💀
For me, the luckiest win is either Stenhouse's Daytona 500 win, or the 2018 Charlotte Roval, when MTJ and Jimmie Johnson wrecked each other, handing Blaney the win.
man that was heartbreaking for jimmie, maybe that was his 2nd nudge into further collapse 😔
@@cykablyatman6242 heartbreaking for JIMMIE? Truex had a hotrod that day and Jimmie's impulsivity and not being able to handle the fact that he was going to finish second genuinely stole it from Truex. To top it all off, Jimmie didn't make it into the next round because of that. Second place guaranteed him a spot in the next round.
i feel like the luckiest win in 2024 was reddicks win, dude was in like 8th then the big one he got to first without damage
Michael Waltrip's 2004 Busch series win at Nashville deserves an honorable mention.
Brett Bodine's win wasn't lucky. He was leading the race. NASCAR had him scored as the leader of the race. He had one of the best cars on the track. The conspiracy was debunked and has only been kept alive by Earnhardt and Waltrip fans who probably thought Toyota coming into NASCAR was a betrayal.
The luckiest win is when I gained 9 positions off the final corner in an online NASCAR Heat 5 race at Bristol
12 of us ran out of gas on the last lap in an online race at talladega once, I just happened to run out last due to actually paying attention and trying to save some fuel. Crossed the line at 30mph for the win lmao
@@vermonstersinc5567😂lol
most talented heat 5 lobby
You never passed me tho
I once won a race where I was over 50 mph slower than everyone else because literally every other car had wrecked by lap 186. I then circled the track on my own for 314 laps.
Yes, Copes win was pretty lucky, but at the same time his car was a monster that day. Rode around the front like he owned it.
The trophy doesn't care who, how many, or how you beat them...
Better be bubbas one and only win
1?
The craziest thing about the last one is David Green would go on to win the championship that year and this was his only win of the season
