I REALLY hate to see that his career went downhill like it did. Bobby Jr was a good driver in his day, just not good enough to impress Cup owners very much. Had things gone differently for him, I can legitimately see him winning a championship for the Trucks or Xfinity Series. Losing his father was going to be a struggle no matter what, but he was still a strong enough driver that I think that had things been different, he could still be around today. His career was just plagued by inconsistency, driving for bad teams, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This guy will always be a legend in my book. He and his whole team brought their trailer and car to my elementary school back in 2002-2003(??). It was like an on site field trip. They even signed one of those team postcards that the merchandise haulers used to hand out in the 2000s for me. I would still love to know who either knew them or had the connections to make it happen because it wasn’t like we were a big school in a city.
I was wondering when this video was going to come out.... I feel bad for him not only losing his dad to such a horrible disease, as his fallout as an owner himself, to which I completely understand why he no longer wants ANYTHING to do with NASCAR.....
I still don’t know why, maybe because he was a real driver, but in NASCAR 09, at least the PS3 version, he was consistently running inside the Top 5 in the Nationwide Series.
Another case of "Why have you not done _"NASCAR Busts: Cal Wells"_ yet?" He was all about that Tide & McDonald's money... That's it. He *never* cared about his drivers, & especially after Ricky Craven left.
@@nascarsteve The McDonald's sponsorship for Cal Wells actually started in 2000 with rookie (& *actual* racing bust) Anthony Lazarro. He was Cal Wells' original pick to race the McDonald's car after a season in what's now known as the Xfinity Series... He. Was. Awful... His entire NASCAR car career last shorter than Andy Houston's Cup career. After Anthony was ditched by the guy who brought him to NASCAR from open-wheel, Andy Houston then became the new McDonald's guy after Bill Elliott's team folded. Unfortunately Andy's team was basically the guinea pig with Ricky Craven's Tide team being top priority having existed the year prior with Scott Pruett. Andy had no luck & definitely did not have PPI's top equipment. Andy's team was shut down after 3/4 of the way through 2001. McDonald's remained as a secondary sponsor on Craven's team a while after until they eventually left PPI... All because Cal Wells never prioritize the drivers McDonald's sponsored.
@@Ultimate23Dragonscrew Cal Wells, it's his fault that he only cared about sponsorship, and it's his fault for making Andy Houston a bust and hiring him
As a long time Bobby Hamilton Sr. fan i always had lots of high hopes for his son to do very well. I was very happy how we was so close to winning the Busch series in 2003. While my man Sr. Won the truck championship the following year. I felt devastated when he passed in 07 and how Jr just couldnt go on to race. And when Jr joined PPI I didnt have high hopes. But always cheered on the Hamilton family from Nashville. Always loved that Square D and Schneider Electric cars Sr ran.
I hated to see PPI Motorsports go out like that, not even 5 years after the iconic Darlington win with Ricky Craven. If they had better resources, and with the support from Procter & Gamble, McDonald's, Super 8 Motel etc., they could've been a powerhouse team. I know that's a hot take, but I mean they could have if they had the right drivers after Ricky Craven left.
@@KR_Diecasts I remember that story. He did a test in the 96 (Of all numbers) with the idea of that ride being sponsored by MTV & their "rock the vote" campaigne & Johnny being the driver. Thankfully for Johnny, it did *not* materialize.
Bobby Hamilton Jr. not only a bust but after seeing these videos. He had some pretty hard wrecks!.. I can’t even imagine how many concussions he had. This was way before the safer barriers
He was starting to get some confidence in the Busch Series, but his stint in the Tide ride broke him down and he couldn't handle it. Had he stayed in the NBS I think we would all have an extremely different view of Bobby Jr. Myself included.
I actually met Grubb at a local grocery store back in '01. He signed stuff and took pics with everyone. He shook my hand and thanked me for coming out. Such a nice guy. Never got over not being in NASCAR which sadly led to his demise.
@@KeepinItRioPodcast True I mean Johnny Benson in the same era bounced from cup team to cup team after his Busch series championship in 1995, and sadly other than Roush he was never really given any competitive equipment other than maybe MB2 motorsports who got him his one and only win
I always wondered if Bobby Jr. was moved up too quickly. Some additional time in ARCA might have really done him some good toward really mastering the cars. Hope he's doing well though.
PPI had its best days early on when it entered the sport. They initially rans Fords with a Cosworth V8 as the company was interested in NASCAR. After the manufacturer change this team was pretty much lost, and I can attest due to the fact I worked for Cosworth at the time.
Rick Houston interviewed bobby Jr about his time with ppi recently. Bobby said management wouldn't let crew chief Harold Holly set the cars up how he wanted them. The team also was running RCRs 'c program' as far as technical support (arca level horsepower engines, etc) because that was all Cal Wells could afford. Sounded like Tide/p&g didn't give them alot of money to work with.
Unrelated to the main content, what is that song at the beginning of the video? I remember it from the Nascar 07 preview on the old EA sports games, but Shazam just doesn't come up with anything for it. I'd greatly appreciate if you could help me out, and keep up the great work Darian!!!
Would've like to see how he Would've faired out if him & team Rensi moved up to Cup together. I remember they ran a 1 off( I believe it was Kansas) and they was super fast. Came home 15th. They Would've had Ford support and that was during the time the Fords was very competitive.
I watched hamilton jr in nashville doing the weekly racing and he wasn't even the 4th best driver, yet he's the one who got all the opportunity. Such a shame when better drivers can't get the chances.
When they announced some of the top 75 i was slightly dumb founded his dad wasnt on the list based on some of the guys on the list. The man kept the truck series interesting for a few years.
J.J. Yeley is not a bust anymore. Yes with JGR, but as a whole career, no. He's gotten RWR the best results of the team so far this season, and ever too according to Colby Evans.
That's actually incorrect. Roger Carter was the scam artist & Bobby Jr. was one of Roger's many victims. Roger tried to get away by trying to pin his actions on Bobby Jr. because of his name, which failed.
@@larsongame4120 Part of Roger's scam against Bobby Jr. was Roger promising Bobby Jr. part ownership. So Bobby Jr. did believe he had a say & wanted Cassie to drive for him. But Roger is the one who scammed her & Bobby Jr. as well. Roger tried to use Bobby as a "Get out of jail free" card. Cassie thought Bobby Jr. was involved in the scam, but he wasn't.
he won 2 races at the Cup level, and who knows what more he could have done had he not had to deal with injuries? I think Craven was incredibly underrated in both Busch and Cup
No. Given how PPI was towards it's drivers, Craven winning the races he did were miracles. Probably an even bigger miracle given his multitude of injuries he sustained in the mid-to-late 1990's. If anything Craven is underrated.
Casey Atwood is currently racing a friend's legend car at Nashville Fairgrounds very sub paringly no wins but maybe it will get better he's a nice enough guy
Was gonna dm you him lol he put up a great season at rensi but he also had Harold holly and was known to not be respectful to Crew members and others but he also had the weight of the world on his shoulder with Bobby sr and his health battles too which couldn’t of been easy at all but if the attitude was there he would of been a little better but not much
EXACTLY I se all these people on here saying how nice of a guy he was & I agree to the fans maybe but to race with him & know him they WOULD have a different opinion
Before a driver gets labeled a bust, it should be considered what kind of equipment they had an opportunity to drive in their career. The best equipment Bobby Jr. ever got to drive was the Cal Wells 32 which according to Bobby’s recent interview on the Scene Vault podcast, was basically a 3rd tier RCR hand me down operation that was on par with an ARCA equipment. I wouldn’t call Bobby a bust because of that.
Bobby should have stayed full time in nascar busch series instead of taking ppi cup ride, he could have a solid career down like Jason Keller did, and Justin allaiger is having now.
Uh, for the record "Gone too soon" is about racers who passed away far too young or in racing incidents. James Buescher is still alive. You're probably thinking of "Not a bust."

He was screwed over a lot in his career & dealt with a lot of internal pain, & a lot of it in a short amount of time. -BS way to lose the 2003 title to an *actual* bust who was in a ride he *never* deserved - The bust that is Cal Wells - Losing his dad to cancer - The people who took over BHR after Bobby Sr.'s passing didn't want him involved - Rensi wasn't what it was when he returned - The bust that is Landon Cassill - Attempted to make a comeback in ARCA only to be scammed by Roger Carter, who then tries to pawn off his scam on to him to avoid jail (& failed) - Owned a track where a team caught cheating there one day threatened to kill him for DQing them I don't blame him for being bitter about how things have gone & wanting nothing to do with NASCAR or ARCA anymore. iRacing is the closest thing to racing he does nowadays. I'm not sure he ever got the chance to overcome his bitterness regarding a lot of that, especially losing his Dad literally the day before his birthday. I know there's the phrase "Time heals all wounds", but I'm not sure his ever did.

@drummerbob10 that was also during the height of Buschwhackers stealing the series.

I worked for Bobby Hamilton Jr. in the Arca Series back in 2016. It was cool listening to his stories about his dad.
That is so cool.....
I remember when he took over his dad’s truck in 2006 when Hamilton Sr. got cancer. At the very least, he had a long career unlike other NASCAR Busts.
I REALLY hate to see that his career went downhill like it did. Bobby Jr was a good driver in his day, just not good enough to impress Cup owners very much.

The same year bust Brian Vickers won
@@DEIFANhonestly I wouldn't really consider Vickers as a bust seeing as how he was at least competitive at certain parts of his cup career

I just hope that he found some peace. I feel bad that he lost his father in 2007
I hope so too, John.
I know Bobby personally. He's doing fine now adays. Currently he's doing rental properties and real estate. Plus spending tons of time with his family

He actually wasn’t bad in the Nationwide/Busch series. He finished 4th in points in 2003.
It’s a shame Bobby Jr. had such a poor showing in the Cup Series, given he was actually fairly decent in Xfinity and Trucks.
It wasn't his fault he was in bad equipment

For me is wasn't a case of someone not having the talent to join the Cup Series, the just joined it with the wrong team.
With Bobby Jr you could definitely see the potential. He joined PPI at the worst possible time.
Funny enough, the first ever race I attended as a kid was the 2003 Busch Series Race at Kentucky, which Bobby Hamilton Jr won.
Hamilton Jr shoulda stayed in the Busch Series a couple more seasons since he was showing championship contending potential
I met Bobby Hamilton Jr at Highland Rim Speedway just outside Nashville in 2011, he is such a nice guy.
The remains of those cars probably went into making actual Dr. Pepper cans.
The cars then had 900-1000hp, and those cup cars took so much throttle control.

You really do a great job with these shows
The biggest mistake in Bobby Jr's career was leaving the Marines Busch series car to go to cup with PPI, he basically pulled a Scott Whimmer
It’s true, but it would have to be pretty tough to turn down a Cup ride in that era.

By the looks of it ya he probably needed at least another season of ARCA
Ran with him on iRacing a bunch, he’s a super nice guy.
He's a nice guy! I chatted with him on a group on Facebook
Interesting note despite only 3 top 10s in 2007 he still finished 6th in points in the Busch series.
Kinda goes to show how consistent he was that season
Usually because Cup guys took most of the Top 10 spots.
In defense of him he almost won the 2003 Xfinity championship after being 369 (nice) behind Scott Riggs at Richmond
Ive been waiting on this one for a while...

A fourth NASCAR Bust video in a month? You are the best Black Flags Matter.
It was rough seeing that Tide car run like garbage 😢. My favorite car from my childhood.
seems like a bad career move not a bust
I wouldn’t say he’s a NASCAR bust. He’s a NASCAR Cup series bust but he did decent in the Busch series so I don’t think I can put him down for that.

I like what one driver said about Bobby Jr a few years ago: "The guy's got a 10 foot ego in a 4 foot body"
I think that was either David Green or Vickers
Extremely accurate. He bought Highland Rim Speedway & 4ft wasn't enough to deal with the drivers there I know 1 of those drivers personally 😏....

I don't blame him for being bitter about how things have gone & wanting nothing to do with NASCAR or ARCA anymore. iRacing is the closest thing to racing he does nowadays. I'm not sure he ever got the chance to overcome his bitterness regarding a lot of that, especially losing his Dad literally the day before his birthday. I know there's the phrase "Time heals all wounds", but I'm not sure his ever did.
@@Ultimate23Dragon I was certainly a fan of his & I was a fan of his dad too. I don't blame him at all for being bitter. I just had different expectations of him.
How about Brett Bodine, Casey Mears or Mike Skinner?

There's NEVER been a female Nascar driver that was competitive & Never will be
I was in the stands when he won the Busch race at Kentucky. I always liked Bobby, but he just kind of had some bad timing and luck.
NASCAR Busts: Travis Kvapil or Chase Miller.
@countryboychristian Kvapil only won thx to Jimmy Smith... After that... He didn't do much.
