@@osurocks24 You answered your own question. The quality of talent and personalities outside of a hand few which made the sport fun to watch...Less rules changes and sponsorship not as much of an issue. Amazing how 5 or so years can change like that. Love him or hate him, guys like Jeff Gordon were still around. Raced in Petty's last one and made it to the era of Chase Elliott in both '15 & 16. Guys don't race that long anymore and the successful ones don't have to. It sucks but that's just how it is.
@@RKOClips That is true. There less drivers I know now. I miss drivers like Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr, and Mark Martin. They were still racing back then. Good point.
Jeff Gordon kicked ass in 2014. Winning 4 races and nearly winning his 5TH Championship. In 2015 Gordon ended a 38 race losing streak by getting his 9TH and Final Win at Martinsville. He made it to the Championship round of the Chase. Homestead would be his final race. He led the opening 30 laps but had problems later in the race. He finished the race 6TH and and finished 3RD in the Championship Points. Jeff Gordon had One Hell of a Career. 4 Championships 93 Career Wins 3 Time Daytona 500 Winner 5 Time Brickyard 400 Winner 3 All Star Wins 3RD on the All Time Win List Won at almost every track in NASCAR It will be weird not seeing him behind the wheel again but he chose a great driver in Chase Elliot to drive the Iconic #24 Machine
Kyle Thompson You did mess something up. It would of been his 5th championship and with the homestead thing. I don't think he had problems it was just the transition into night time, had it not of rained that day he would of had a great chance of winning his 5th title.
First and only race I saw Jeff Gordon win at. Very thankful I got to see this since I have been a long term die hard fan of Gordon. What a party we had in the grandstands and infield after this victory!!
oh yes...i love NASCAR. I'm german, so for me there isn't any chance to watch the races in free-TV, that's why it's even more awesome that you upload the races. And the positive side of Nascar is: every race is close and full with action, everyone can win, the cars are on 1 level. That are the problems in other racing series like the Formula 1 or some else
@@jonathangrey6354 Oh no, someone disagrees with your opinion. Immediately try to discredit them by calling them some sort of "ist". Danica was a trash. The fact that Almirola was able to put that team into the playoffs and make it into the round of 8 says it all.
Didn’t matter the track, grip, weather or driver. This package produced the best racing on mile and a half tracks of the Gen 6 era and arguably all time.
Damn the 2014 package was good. Revisiting these 2014 intermediate races is night and day compared to any of the low downforce races. And while the 550 HP package has produced fun racing at times. It is very hit an miss, and I hate that the are full throttle. But I will say this 550 HP is fine for NASCAR. The Next Gen car with a smaller spoiler and the diffuser and lack of sideforce will make it slower in corners and faster on straights. Of course we need a non restricted 550 engine, because with lots of torque it will be better throttle response and acceleration. All an all I’m saying the next gen car does not need 850HP, 550 is plenty as long as NASCAR makes those changes which they are doing. All and all the next gen car is gonna be amazing. It’s gonna even put some of these races to shame. The return to mechanical grip, so people just get through this and next year because 2022 is gonna be a major change.
I heard the reason they changed the power number (to 750 from about 900) was because of insurance problems for the drivers as the cars were frequently breaking track records since the Gen-6 debuted. And for good reason because the cars were approaching open wheel speeds (only about 20-40 mph slower) in an all oval series basically. I wouldn’t quote me on the insurance thing but I totally agree, these cars were mechanical monsters and should’ve stayed in the sport, if anything else I liked the 2016 package with about half the spoiler and the same power as the 2015. The 2019 package wasn’t bad but doesn’t quite feel like stock cars did in the past.
I totally agree to a 100%! No matter what Simpson's episode you watch, they make fun of Fox, but their Nascar coverage simply rocks! The team makes way more fun than those of the other TV channels. Only, they should give us a "crank it up" after a full course yellow! When they turn 'em up and the cars accelerate on the green flag wave, the mike's will fly of the cameras XD
Gordon would be a 7x champ this year if it was Winston cup points. 2014 was the last best season and it’s 2023 now. After 2014 the cup series was ruined with changes
I'm agree ! Danica and Gibson was a tremendous pair, we can see progress year after year. Maybe she would running 15th or something almost every week at this moment..
First time seeing a race at this track. My god is this track boring as hell...sick of these duplicate cookie cutter tracks like this, vegas and Chicagoland....Nascar is dying a slow death.

Amazing how this is going to be considered the good old days.
Sad.
How so? I think 1995-2003 is. I don't watch much these days, I guess the racing must be worse.

no its not. this is 2013... like, I think we get this is one of his wins
SMDH This is 2014 his first of 4 wins that season.
Gordon gets the W, first night race at Kansas, Blaney's first cup start 🔥

Danica Patrick's best career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finish at Kansas Speedway
1:15 - Our first Cup view of YRB!
*your first nascar race is the first night race at a speedway you didnt know it existed*
Ryan Blaney’s first race
Yes
Yeah, that legend
Who?
Was it? He definitely looks like a baby here.
Ryan Blaney running the 12! A preview!
I love jeff Gordon good for him😊
IMO this is the best race I think Danica ever ran in cup, it's either this or Atlanta in the summer if 2014
35:11 waltrip is like, ok shut up mike i was talking 😂😂
Miss the days when they would almost hit 210 into the corners at Kansas. Only problem was dirty air with this package.
#24EVER
I love FOX's presentation of NASCAR. ESPN does a good job too but FOX is better. TNT is horrible with way too many commercials and crappy commentary.
I totally agree to a 100%! No matter what Simpson's episode you watch, they make fun of Fox, but their Nascar coverage simply rocks! The team makes way more fun than those of the other TV channels.
Only, they should give us a "crank it up" after a full course yellow! When they turn 'em up and the cars accelerate on the green flag wave, the mike's will fly of the cameras XD
stocklausen Simpsons has a left wing agenda (for better or worse) so of course they hate fox.
I Agree But I liked ESPN Better
hey
hey
I still remember a nasty crash from Mio Honda and Miyuki Shiba 6 years ago.
I’m here after today’s Kansas race and all I can say is, how did we downfall from this?
We didn't.
@@DennyThePanther We did drastically. Tell me what's good about cars going faster in the turns at full throttle and taking talent away from drivers?
@@Tylnorton Yeah, ig that's true. I'm slowly pulling away from NASCAR ngl
we need this car and package and with the current tracks we are golden
Gordon would be a 7x champ this year if it was Winston cup points. 2014 was the last best season and it’s 2023 now. After 2014 the cup series was ruined with changes
Taking Tony Gibson away from Danica is proving to be a huge mistake.
I'm agree ! Danica and Gibson was a tremendous pair, we can see progress year after year. Maybe she would running 15th or something almost every week at this moment..
Fact:this was the first cup race for ryan blaney
Was this the race where Allgier and gilliland had their huge crash
Nice race to watch thanks
That was Ryan Blaney first career cup start.

After watching this...don't tell me Danica can't race!
Danica had fluke race and is out of the sport. She is awful and one of the worst drivers in NASCAR history.
osurocks 24 JJ Yeley is the worst driver in NASCAR history. He was literally in the best car and equipment and was barely running top 15.
1:10:37 Super Bowl 47 Power Outage
Danica surprised me
1:10:10 Lights Off Track
I slept thru this race it was like 1:00am and woke up 100 laps im
You know, if Danica ran like she did In this race throughout her career, thing definitely would have played out differently for her.
this is great :)
Why, but just why pulling Tony Gibson away from Danica ?
I kinda wished Patrick won this race, but wow, she was as high as 3rd though...
Zottffss Fun: She's lead laps before
Yeah I know but this was her 2nd best finish in her career.
Her ego would take over the sport and destroy. She an embarrassment for women in general and represents them in a terrible way. Thank God she's gone.
Would it be embarrassing if Ryan Blaney had a wheel bearing failure during this race?
