    What surprises me is that a lot of the wrecks shown in this video don't seem to be Justins fault, a lot of getting caught in other peoples messes. Dude had some terrible luck. Although I guess part of being a good driver is not putting yourself in situations where that can happen to begin with.

    Justin Labonte, Steve Wallace, Jason Jarrett, Glenn Jarrett, Kerry Earnhardt, Larry Pearson, Clifford Allison, Casey Elliott, David Bonnett, Richie Panch, Adam Petty, Maurice Petty, Ritchie Petty, Mark Petty. All relatives of well known Cup drivers who had careers of their own but never had success in the Cup Series for one reason or another. Some just couldn’t cut it, others made their careers elsewhere both in and outside racing, and a handful had their careers cut tragically short.

      It seems like being the son of a great NASCAR Cup Series driver makes it harder to be a great driver yourself, due to the pressure to follow in their footsteps. While he still wasn’t nearly as good as his dad, Dale Jr was probably the closest modern-day example of a driver’s son that was successful in Cup.

    It should be pointed out that when it comes to the Jarrett-Labonte Stock Car Racing video game, there are no ovals or stock cars in it at all. The only reason why it was called that was because Codemasters wanted to generate higher sales in the US and figured using the last names of two legendary NASCAR drivers would do the trick.
