Don’t you find it kinda awkward how a *NASCAR bust driver* and a *driver who lost his win Dega because of a failed test* would be the two *puppy fighting* after crashing… Just let that sink in…
Didn't lose his win. Just his playoff eligibility.
He kept the win, he just couldn’t be in the playoffs.
I mean, they're both busts
How is that awkward??
Both are trust fund kids
Famous quote in a NASCAR Busts video:
“Instead of going to a lower series, he got promoted to the higher series.”
Rich Kid’s racing in a nutshell
And with RCR 😂😂
Failing upward.

Coming here after hearing about his death. Rest in peace John Wes Townley
Rest in peace??:? Seriously? He brought a loaded gun and attempted to kill his ex-wife, only he was overpowered by his ex-wife new bf and he ended up eating his own lead.
@@DinsDetailin I didn’t know about that I only commented this when his death was announced
@@DinsDetailin He posted it before the truth came out, leave him alone dude
@@AtlanticCoastJoey well yeah I figured, no ill will, just wanted him to know
@@dacoolmilkshake4917 yeah I figured was an old post... No biggy man... Dude clearly had some major mental health issues for sure.
And he just died. I swear the stories for busts tend to be tragic.
He got himself killed!
Townley still managed to get more wins than Danica. Let that sink in. 😂
What a legend😂
…in NASCAR, in the IndyCar series Danica notched a win in Motegi.
@@ChiChiWoo yeah I’m sure he referring to her NASCAR career
@@DrSamwpepper so true though not every underperforming driver is going to become Danica
danica was only around for money no one took her seriously...
John Wes did not DNQ his cup attempt, he was replaced by Jason White after hitting wall off of two on his warm up lap
Yep NASCAR didn’t approve him to run. Jason White was good in trucks and would have won a race had he gotten Townley’s rides
This video hits different.
His fight against Spencer Gallagher put on a great show at Gateway 😂
two pansies...
Let’s not forget he confronted his ex and her new boyfriend with an axe… he wasn’t the victim.
R.I.P John Wes Townley
Rest in peace’s
There is a reason his nickname is "Sir Crash-A-Lot".
Still more wins than Dibenedetto and Hemric.
Nah, it’s John Wrecks Weekly.
@Reiks Fair. They do a better job at taking care of their equipment. A way better job.
Rest in peace,JWT
Rest in peace, John Wes Townley. He was killed in a shooting yesterday.
The guy knew how to get Zaxby's TV time.
4:48 Townley crashing with another driver who got a ride because his dad owns a company.
Who was in the 23?
@@hallo_welt_ag Ken Butler III. His father is the president of Aaron’s.
@@bradydicarlo9143 and 14:37. Gallagher’s father owns Allegiant
Richard Childress: *watches John Wes Townley wreck weekly*
Also Richard Childress: "GOD DAMNIT! I WANT HIM IN THE CAR!"
RC wanted that sweet sweet Zaxby’s cash
yeah but to his credit Childress got him out of the 21 Busch car really quickly
@@phelpsmarc who did Childress put in the 21 after? Because didn't it become the star car sponsored by Holiday Inn?
@@patrickracer43 I am not sure. Wimmer was in the 29 but a few years earlier
@@patrickracer43 Boyer took over the 21 and Xaxby's stayed as the sponsor.
This had to be recommended to me now jeez
Coming back to this is really sad now,RIP
I feel like this series was made for him and Stephen
Thank you, John.
Damn, RIP
Rip John Wes Townley
Damn, I knew I had heard of him before. Chap just got shot. RIP man.
Yes he was a bust but he was still gone too soon. Sad news today. RIP John Wes Townley.
I mean the dude attacked his ex & her new man witch a hatchet😬
Gone Too Soon: John Wes Townley
Well he attacked his wife soo
Rest In Peace
REST IN PEACE
Such a shame what happened to him on Saturday… May he Rest In Peace…
15:26 In the words of Chris Myers: *"And there's a punch!"*
My condolences to the towley family, let’s remember the highs of his wins in Vegas and Arca.
@@TylerArnwine yea more news came out after that and now it’s sad tragically for all parties not . I will let the investigations play out and keep it at that. Domestic violence is serious issue and no one wins in the end
And sadly he’s no longer with us 😔
I wont lie I always wanted one of those zaxbys cars as a diecast.
R.I.P John Wes Townley :(
Who’s here after Jon Wes Townley got shot in Athens Georgia. RIP
John Wes at least hung in there long enough and got a Truck win towards the end and he appeared to have won that fight with Spencer Gallagher. Not many drivers get to say they won a race in one of the three series and had a wrestling match at the track. I mean he at least has a spot next to Cale Yarborough and Donnie and Bobby Allison where they had a physical fight during a race.
As of a few hours ago, John has tragically passed away in a shooting. RIP John Wes Townley.
My dad worked for JWT when they made Athenian Motorsports. He literally got 2 wins with JWT. Amazing!
Rest In Peace Townley 1989-2021 🕊
i remember him for his saves
Exactly! He had some talent.
@@Austin_Windric other then that, he was the original caution clock. -said someone on friskynixons video with John Wes townley crashing
A second consecutive NASCAR Bust video in a week? I’m speechless.
Wow rip JWT dead at 31 so young that’s awful
I distinctly remember his ratings and driving ability were always a bit too high in the handful of years he was included in Nascar games. I would be challenging him for wins on the game, but me and my dad would make a point to watch the Truck and Busch races to see what he could tear up lmao.
I think we all remember our reactions to John Wes Townleys win. And nobody could be mad. For all of the criticism and jokes that came his way, I can't think of many wins that could have felt sweeter for the driver
RIP ❤️❤️
Mr. Krabs: *Hello. I like money*
At least Krabs’s money craze is better than Townley’s was.
15:22 I genuinely forget they were fighting until John wes tried to punched him and fail miserably
I think he had a case of stormtrooper syndrome, it’s where you try to shoot or hit something or someone but you miss a lot
How have a never heard of this hug fight before this video 🤣
Dream of mine: race in NASCAR. fear of mine: be on a BFM video as a nascar bust
Remember when you had to know how to drive to race in NASCAR? Now all you need is a rich daddy and you've got a guaranteed ride.
nascar is a business...
Nascar and 98% of big time race series are like that nowadays. Either you need a dad with a wealth of Trump and Bezos combined, or a deep budget to land a seat.
Back then, even an ex illegal street racer can go into big racing series with reasonable budget. Some guy in Japan has proven that, he even can go to prestigious races like Le Mans despite used to go street racing.
Bezos' and Trumps' wealth are about 3 orders of magnitude apart.
Went back to this after recent news pretty crazy what happened..
R.I.P.
Fascinating episode of NASCAR Busts!
I won't forget his Zaxby's car, his constant wrecking in every race week and as the cherry on top, his infamous fight with Spencer Gallagher. XD
I usually don't laugh out loud, but I woke up everyone in the house when he "fought" Spencer Gallagher.
Rest In Peace John
14:57 that was the most awkward fight I have ever seen lol
watching this after he died hits differently
john wes townley could wreck racecars faster than a 4 year old could while driving the wrong way on a 1 lane track into oncoming cars
NASCAR Busts: Spencer Gallagher.
Rest in peace John Wes Townley 🙏
This hits different
R.i.p John Wes❤❤
Holy crap he hit everything except for the pace car
I watched this before he died, and it’s so weird to know he’s no longer with us
RIP JWT
Man R.I.P. John Wes Townley
RIP John Wes Townley
15:38 - "Hey guys, quit! This is a no dance zone!"
Another Bust video this week?
It’s Christmas in July! Also, if anyone ate Zaxby’s, is it good?
It’s average at best. Better than his driving.
@@peepawghost I have a Zaxby’s in a different city, but I never had it
It’s a 5/10
Not bad. Better than KFC.
@@chada75 what? No way
Hey, BFM, would you ever consider covering the EuroNascar series?
For whatever reason Travis Kvapil is in the Zaxby's truck in NASCAR 09. To make it even more unlikely for JWT, the other series weren't featured in the games until he wasn't racing anymore.
R.I.P. It was just confirmed that Townley has died in a home invasion.
not a home invasion. the articles say there was a call about domestic violence at the house his ex wife lives at (he was living with his parents during the divorce), and the guy who shot him has been in contact with the police, and they still haven't charged him with anything, which made me think Townley was most likely killed in self defense. When they revealed that he was seen carrying an axe while entering the building, it pretty much shows that Townley was the aggressor, and the guy who shot him did so in self-defense. The woman hasnt been named, but it is most likely his ex-wife who lives there. it sounds like she was shot unintentionally. Check out the article in BFM's post from a few hours ago
I came to UA-cam to watch something else but this showed up as well, immediately clicked on this, the other video can wait.
Townley and Gallagher both fight like drunk people stumbling out of a Pub on St Patty’s day
I was actually at Pocono and got to see the entirety of his cup career: 1 corner, 1 hit to the outside wall, and 1 right hand turn back to the garage
He's bad, but can't beat Joey Clanton, who went through FOUR trucks in one weekend before being canned.
Rip john
R.I.P
R.I.P JWT
Been looking forward to this one
NASCAR's equivalent of nikita mazepin except he took pole positions, took a win in one of the top divisions, and didn't post something controversial on Instagram
He also didn’t grope someone (that we know of)
That dude must have really been pissed to bring a hatchet!!
Townley died in a shooting today, rest in peace John Wes Townley.
Now that i've heard the recent news, rest in peace John, prayers for his family 🙏
Not mention also, JWT got concussion in 2014 after Q crash in Arca. He missed 4 Arca races and 3 truck races. He swapped teams halfway in 14, in trucks. Did sweet music video shot with the identical movie cast
ua-cam.com/video/YFf7UER0Xts/v-deo.html
This video completely left out the biggest detail as to why he never made that Cup start:
He never even made it a full lap around Pocono in Practice before he crashed the car. They pulled him immediately and was replaced by Jason White, who finished 31st (which was actually ahead of Junior and Kyle Busch). They wouldn't approve Jennifer Jo Cobb to run in Cup, yet decided it was okay to let JWT attempt a start at Pocono and that immediately backfired.
Both were absolutely terrible. Jennifer Jo once wrecked her teammate at Daytona while both had lost the draft on like lap 1 in an xfinity race
You know you aren’t that good when the announcer says, “career best finish of 15th place”
Rest in peace
I honestly hate how people are mourning his death without going into it he literally tried to kill his ex wife and her boyfriend
Also there are people who are saying that there should be a gone too soon video for him and I honestly think that he doesn't deserve one
Christian Elder or Kevin Grubb deserve a gone too soon video
John wes Townley is now racing with Rob moroso in hell
I don't think they're necessarily mourning his death. They're mourning the fact his mental state had gotten that bad in a short amount of time after his retirement.
@@Ultimate23Dragonyup
He will be dearly missed
Apparently not by his ex-wife.
Now do a Gone Too Soon of him.
>Leads one lap
>fails upwards and leads 10 laps
Thats like, a 1000% improvement, quality driver turning it around like that!
Yea he died attacking his ex-wife with a hatchet 😯
That fight or whatever it was. That clip had me laughing.
Both need to consult a hockey player and fight properly
This hits differently now…
So did the axe
RIP
Hi
Rip
I will NEVER forget the comment from NASFACTS after the JWT/Spencer Gallagher fight - "John Wes Townley couldn't really hit [Sprinkler Galopagos] because he's not a wall."
Who’s here after he just died?
Just heard the news. R.I.P
While he wasn’t the best on the track, or the fan favorite, it is really sad to see John pass away… R.I.P JWT. You will never be forgotten. 💙
Hell if I founded zaxbys my son would have a ride too lol.
RIP KING
