He and Bobby Labonte's title runs were similar in my book. Just dominate and stayed out of trouble. Love to see one on Bobby because he led the points in 31 of 34 races. A record at the time for most races a driver led the points in a season.
Agree. DJ’s 1997 season was a better year. A bullshit black flag in a late race at Watkins Glen cost him a huge number of points and ultimately the championship.
1997 standings: 1st - Jeff Gordon, 4,710 points (10 wins, 22 top 5s, 23 top 10s, 25 top 20s, 1 pole, 1,645 laps led, 9.56 average finish) 2nd - Dale Jarrett, 4,696 points (7 wins, 20 top 5s, 23 top 10s, 25 top 20s, 2 poles, 2,076 laps led, 9.56 average finish) 3rd - Mark Martin, 4,681 points (4 wins, 16 top 5s, 24 top 10s, 27 top 20s, 3 poles, 796 laps led, 8.97 average finish) 4th - Jeff Burton, 4,285 points (3 wins, 13 top 5s, 18 top 10s, 26 top 20s, 696 laps led, 12.41 average finish) 5th - Dale Earnhardt, 4,216 points (7 top 5s, 16 top 10s, 27 top 20s, 220 laps led, 12.13 average finish)
Dale Jarrett was one hell of a driver, if you weren’t Jarrett, chances were you were struggling to even catch him, he drove that 88 with absolute pride, he may not have won more then one championship, but he was one talented man He may be long retired, but I’ll never forget his Ford Credit Union and UPS 88, speeding around the tracks he loved to race on, and his involvement with the sport post retirement
Another fun fact: Dale Jarrett actually had an even higher Top 10 percentage in 1999 than Jeff Gordon did in 1998. Gordon had 28 top 10s in 33 races (84.85%). Jarrett had 29 top 10s in 34 races (85.29%).
I realize many champioship seasons end up with something in the 500. For Green and Jarrett it was a flip and for others like Gordon and Jimmie it was a win.
Winning the 500 back then give the points leader such an advantage....i think if dale sr finished better in the 500 in 2000 he may have given Bobby a better fight
What I love about that era was how solidly dominating DJ and Bobby was then. Jeff used his magic up after 1998 and took a 2 year hiatus from the trophy. He wasn't bad or anything but they were both so solid that no matter how much he won those 2 years it wasn't enough. Both their titles were well deserved. Funny story but if you take Jeff out all together Dale woulda been the dominator of the circuit but it woulda had more parity. Martin prob would have been champ in 1998. 1997 see being DJ's. See Terry keeping 1996's trophy though.
Great '99 season for Jarrett. Then, he kicked off the 2000 season with his 3rd Daytona 500 win. I thought '96 was his best season for wins, Daytona 500, Coke 600 and Brickyard 400. Hard to imagine winning those 3 in the same season, and in dominant fashon
To me, Robert Yates should have had at least one more title for his team. Davey Allison was leading the points for most of the 1992 season and Erinie Irvan was in the midst of an intense battle with Dale Earnhardt in 1994 before his season ending crash at Michigan
Oh shit you got the legend UrinatingTree coming up in the next show? Daaaaaaamn that's legit!! DJ's 99 season was just so dominant. They were just so fast and consistent. He was just head above shoulders over the competition over that year.
With 4 wins, Dale Jarrett did not have the most wins in 1999; Bobby Labonte had 5 wins, Jeff Burton had 6 wins, and Jeff Gordon had 7 wins. But DJ won out on sheer consistency, with 24 top five finishes, 29 top ten finishes, and a 6.76 average finish.
Didn't watch him in his prime but I can definitely say he's my favorite of the drivers turned color commentators. He knows his stuff, he's enthusiastic but not to the loony point of DW and I don't remember him shilling for NASCAR too much (correct me on that if I'm wrong)
theravenousbeast Dale Jarrett is of course the son of the legendary Ned Jarrett, two time NASCAR Grand National Series Champion (1961 and 1965) and a well known broadcaster after he retired from racing.
"You guys are the shit!"- Todd Parrott on the radio to Dale Jarrett as he coasted to the line on fumes during the 99 Pepsi 400. They surely were. While 1997 was the dominating year, 1999 was Mr. Consistency, a lost art in championship winning. 1995 is probably about as snake bit as any one season DJ could ever have. He was involved in odd crashes and mechanical failures also sidelined him. 1999 was the fourth of 6 straight years Dale would finish top 5 in the points. Only Jimmie Johnson in the modern era could meet and exceed that feat.
Jarrett in the late 90s could be so dominant on any given week. Hall of Famer but still under-rated driver who doesn't get quite the career respect he deserves, in my opinion.
yaay a person with good qualities on nascar drivers :) DJ i got alot of stuff of him i saw him sadly around 1994 -1995 sometime in that range of 96 when in #88 QC i loved teh colors i love the logo and i loved the #88 2nd fav number but it was that got me into racing or i wouldnt of but then it didnt matter wher DJ went i loved his personality and talent! :) same as Hut Strickling, Robert Pressley and others that i saw talent in but DJ is the king to me / well also Hut Stricklin due to tied ... that and #8 CIrcuit City beautiful car and his talent he tries so hard he should of won as much as DJ to me but .... its fen to me he Hut is a champion too :) but LOVE DJ he the best!
Black Flags Matter? What do you think of the TV coverage today compared to 1999? I love the split screen during commercials but I have a complaint about the camera work. What has happened to the continuous wide angle shots where 15 - 20 cars are visible all the way around the track? I used to watch Dale Jarrett passing cars up through the pack because of the continuous wide angle shot. Today the camera zooms in on 2-4 cars and tries to hype the speed as a visual rush. I think fans want to watch their fav driver and when they start 15th they don't get to see them much. Also, the actual racing a driver does is a 10 second setup and then pass. Sometimes we see the pass but never the setup. Nascar and the celbrity anouncers understand the fans but the cameramen don't get it. This poor camera work has made me disinterested in watching a whole race on TV. I think the fall off in ratings is because of this change in camera work. What say you?
I remember it seems like it was always long green flag nobody had anything for the yates boys at michigan pocono, I loved rudds 2001 year that was great, tough year but after that richmond 02 03 i think i moved to Happy when Rudd left. That 88 car just dominated if I think back. Now time for the video see how much i forgot.

Dale Jarrett is the best racer in the world tied with me with Hut Stricklin tho i saw Dale jarrett car and # everything before i saw #8 Hut Stricklin i saw and remember these races some and its like i dont care if he had just 1 title he is a Nascar Champion and along side is great father who is awesome. Ned Jarrett and his wonderful kids and whole Jarrett family :) DJ that beautiful beautiful 88 Car gosh damn i love it Got models even got a dale jarrett book from a bday gift and other models and even his white rain Busch series #32 :) Jarrett rules and always will dispite the other new overrated ... drivers.
See, there's the Garbage Motors bias I've been talkin about for the last 25yrs.... @4:08, instead of concentrating on the #88 Ford takin the lead from the #6 Ford, all the announcers can talk about is that junk #24 car....that's some bullshit right there....
It's why I gave up watching NASCAR. It's so biased towards GM, especially Hendrick Motorsports. They slowed down the Ford's a couple times when Chevrolet couldn't keep up, but never the opposite when Ford fell on hard times.
This season was a key that led to changes in how points were allocated. Jarrett had practically won the championship with 4 races still to go because he had built up so many points. Also, he won most of those points with top 5 finishes and not race wins. The New points system puts more emphasis on wins but still allows points to add up as a qualifier for a final "Chase" to the championship. Fans love the new format because it keeps hope alive until the last race of the season.
Sorry, but I have to disagree. A championship year should be a measure of consistency. Being able to get in the “championship race” on the basis of one win is stupid. NASCAR was a better product and had a better following than before the powers that be tinkered with it and screwed it up for everyone.
Just skip to 0:48.
We need one of these on dale st 2000 season
He and Bobby Labonte's title runs were similar in my book. Just dominate and stayed out of trouble.
Love to see one on Bobby because he led the points in 31 of 34 races. A record at the time for most races a driver led the points in a season.
Bobby Labonte also finished every race in 2000, having no DNF's.

"With special guest, UrinatingTree".
*quickly bolts to second channel and subbed.*
Robert Yates was a hell of an engine builder. He really deserved more than one championship.
Yates definitely deserved to win at least one with Davey Allison.
As an owner? *Definitely*
Davey Allison nuff said. Kenny Irwin, Junior also but he didn’t get along either.
Another fun fact: Dale Jarrett actually had an even higher Top 10 percentage in 1999 than Jeff Gordon did in 1998.
Gordon had 28 top 10s in 33 races (84.85%). Jarrett had 29 top 10s in 34 races (85.29%).

Dale Jarrett was at his peak between 1996 and 2000, cementing himself as one of the greatest NASCAR drivers of the 1990s.
1996 and 2001 more so he was just so solid
It should have been Mark's. Really wish he won a title
I’m glad you made a video on this year. Dale was one of my favorites
What I love about that era was how solidly dominating DJ and Bobby was then. Jeff used his magic up after 1998 and took a 2 year hiatus from the trophy. He wasn't bad or anything but they were both so solid that no matter how much he won those 2 years it wasn't enough. Both their titles were well deserved.

So by this theory Jarrett would've won 2001 title?
Bobby’s 2000 Cup Title should be a cool video
Great '99 season for Jarrett. Then, he kicked off the 2000 season with his 3rd Daytona 500 win. I thought '96 was his best season for wins, Daytona 500, Coke 600 and Brickyard 400. Hard to imagine winning those 3 in the same season, and in dominant fashon

I love Jarrett's blue quality care scheme!
Ayyyyy 1999 👍🏻
ACS Racing Network ACS Racing 99 was the last offical Winston Cup I love Dale J&those race days.
My favorite season ever! Such great memories. Bob Jenkins with the call for Dale's win at Richmond and Indianapolis. RIP Bob
That is 29 top-10 in 33 races. THIRTY-THREE!! After the flip at Daytona, he only failed to be top-10 3 times that year!!
Damn...
Didn't watch him in his prime but I can definitely say he's my favorite of the drivers turned color commentators. He knows his stuff, he's enthusiastic but not to the loony point of DW and I don't remember him shilling for NASCAR too much (correct me on that if I'm wrong)

this helps me with my "NASCAR Careers: Dale Jarrett" video I'm working on, thank you
Oh what a hell of a season, DJ was my driver back in the day!!
Suppose Dale didn't leave Joe Gibbs Racing?
Jarrett in the late 90s could be so dominant on any given week. Hall of Famer but still under-rated driver who doesn't get quite the career respect he deserves, in my opinion.
Thank you Great job DJ was my favorite driver I got to play golf with him in 2003

DJ is my favorite driver all time also! His 88 QCFC car is awesome!
Good Seasons: Sterling Marlin 2002
He was out for most of the season because of a cracked neck vertebrae.
jaedog53 1995 was a better season for him honestly
I was a big Jarrett fan and had the pleasure of being at Richmond when he won and never looked back
What do you think of The new Toyota car in Xfinity in 2019?
My favorite driver, in 1995 I got a model of his car to build.
That late 90s Ford toruse was the best looking ford race car I’ve ever seen

Dale Jarrett is also the most recent NASCAR driver to win the season championship then go on to win the Daytona 500 the following year.

Out of all Jimmie Johnson seasons, you pick a season where he had 4 wins, led 1000 laps and 20 top 10s. Smdh
justin dinkins well the reason I pick that is because he didn’t finish in the top 10 in points......Look it up......
Or maybe 2017 was worse
Eric Catozzi He didn’t finish in the top 10 because of Kansas but he was top 6 in points for majority of that season like Jr and Jeff.
justin dinkins Okay.......I see your point now
