Episode 12 - R&J Racing
Controversy surrounded R&J Racing - also known as Carter Racing - when they first arrived in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series garage in May of 2004. Founded by a sponsor who, just days earlier, had sponsored another “field filler,” R&J now competed against all of them. At first, the team struggled for speed and often failed to qualify. But with the hiring of Kevin Lepage, R&J made the most of their Ernie Elliott engines and fleet of progressively faster Dodges. The result was a series of surprising runs - not just in qualifying, but on race day.

When Country Time Lemonade Went All-In On NASCAR

In the late 1980s, Country Time Lemonade Flavored Drink Mix became one of the most enthusiastic sponsors of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. In just a few short years, the subsidiary of Kraft General Foods spent millions on advertising and pioneered brand activations as we know them today. Their funding helped rebuild three different struggling single-car teams, each repainted in neon yellow and ...

Chuck Bown '94: NASCAR's overlooked talent
Man those days were great
This series is still amazing since it first happened in 2021
The Realpolitik that wasn’t discussed here is that nascar has made nothing matter except the playoffs, which means all the marquee races are at the end of the year. That means you’ve made the entire season into the portion that goes head to head with football, a ratings battle nascar has never and can never win. There is no point in American history where auto racing of any sort was more popular than football, college or pro. The only way for nascar to survive the football ratings battle is if youcw got some kind of unique battle every few years. If it’s engineered every year, it’s not special and football will destroy you
I couldn't agree more. Nascar has made itself into WWE
Stages are stupid. Who want to watch a bunch of mini races
R&J actually did some really impressive stuff for the era and quality of equipment. Remember being peeved as a child that we didn't get any of their cars made, especially since it was during the peak of die-cast. Only as an adult do I realize that of the three cars I remembered most from them, one was tequila and the other was virtual poker (the third was Underdog).
The concept "playoffs" in motorsports was always stupid. Too many cars, too many races, too many points. NASCAR needs to simplify...
Great video!
I agree 100% with this. The sad truth is manufactured drama has invaded NASCAR and every other sport. It’s nauseating.
I see a new ROTFF episode, instant smile on my face. As always, the production and narration of these videos is just top notch. Keep up the awesome work, sir!
That Redman sponsored car Kevin ran was a beauty.
I love LePage's State Fair Corn Dogs 71 car but was absolutely disgusted to hear about them pulling the sponsorship from the 71car because of that woman crying about a lack of AA drivers in the field. What a joke that was and it explains why the sponsor dissapeared.
This was such an awesome episode. I definitely have a lot more appreciation for Kevin Lepage as a driver. He and Tony Raines were some of the most underrated drivers in the 2000's. Could get a lot out of a car that had very little.
I like Lepage, but I'm pretty sure amp did better sponsoring the 88 over the 61.
In a a sentence. Nascar ceased to be a legitimate racing championship, but became nothing more than a series of gimmicks. I can thank Nascar for forcing me to seek out other series that I am now a fan of; Le Mans, Formula 1, Indycar, and MotoGP
56:14 I remember watching this whole sequence with the 5 minute clock, the run up pit lane, and the cheer from the crowd like it was yesterday. So appreciative Brock took the time to get this footage and let it resurface 18 years later. What a RUN!
lol lepage is a trip. Hendricks and dale jr couldn’t find a sponsor and stole his. 😂😂
Gotta love the fireworks of "Lepage the field" to close the video out. Especially after Lajoie nearly did the same at Daytona just last night.
Thank you, Brock.
Oh wow I never seen a driver with a plain Simpson suit in cup before til your bodine pick
Did Paul menard start as a field filler?
That intro gets me GASSED UP
SWEETTTTTT
every interview I hear from Lepage the more I hate the guy
Come on Brock where’s the fun in any of that? Fans want big crashes, fistfights in pit lane, and drivers jump off the top rope of the catchfence. This generation of fans are bored if there isn’t a “big one”. They will never accept real racing cuz they aren’t race fans.
Was already a little skeptical of some of the things Lepage was saying then he got to that whole Amp/Dr. Pepper story and yeah I'm taking everything that dude says with a grain of salt lol Amp isnt owned by Dr Pepper Dr Pepper isnt owned by Coke Coke is famously not a Hendrick sponsor as Pepsi sponsored Jeff Gordon his entire career 😂
I mean Lepage was definitely wrong obviously, but you are as well. Pepsi did not sponsor Gordon his entire career, he was actually sponsored by Coke before Pepsi ever came along.
@@CCRacer48Gordon and Pepsi actually go back to his dirt days. Surprisingly pepsi even sponsored Smoke in a dirt car. Pretty sure it was the same team Jeff drove for.
Coca-Cola was a associate sponsor of Gordon early in his WC career
Had to wait to watch this when I got home from work and it was well worth it!!! Can’t wait to see the 51 car and American Spirit make its appearance!!!
TIL AMP was an energy drink, always assumed it was involved in natural gas or something similar
NASCAR once was the purest form of endurance racing. I wish it was that again.
26:13 the bumps on the old charlotte surface are inane!!
MSRP Motorsports next
Yes. YES! A thousand times, "yes." Yeah. Right. Correct! Oh and about that one thing? YES! Watching the former sport today and the way its ran is like watching a family member die. I love the integrity of tacing like I love a member of my own family...because it is. And having to see these France clowns kill it is like watching cancer take its toll on my father. Oh how i wish things could return to the way they were before the Chase and all of this BS. I didnt even watch Daytona last night. Completely forgot it was even on. Because it and the rest of the races dont matter anymore...neither do the play9ffs and neither does the champion (of Phoenix ot Homestead). I honestly couldnt even tell you who they were last year or any year since. R.I.P. to the former sport of stock car racing.
21:55 there’s probably an alternative version of this story where she got to meet Bill Lester and she didn’t pull the sponsor
I looked up State Fair on Racing Reference Sponsor Search and they left Kevin LePage in 2001 and returned to the sport in 2005. Bill Lester's first full-time truck season was in 2002.
AMP and Dr Pepper are under the Pepsi umbrella 🌂. Don't be hating on Coke Kevin le page. Duĥhhhhhhhhh! 😂
Hope to see you back doing @nascarman history videos. It would be a true shame for that channel to die on an AI voiced hill.
Good news - I'm still narrating videos for him. He was just trying the AI modified voice for smaller projects.
GOOD STORY BROCK
Great work once again, Brock It sucks NASCAR doesn't announce the prize money for any race...imo There used to be a time when you could spend $75,000 on a race car for Daytona and get paid $250,000 for just starting the race. That seems like a good investment to me but I never had money to invest...lol
He was great agsin after his surgery. 99 and 2000 he was awesome. Especially for 49 years old
Kevin was always a great NASCAR driver. I have a lot of respect for Kevin. That incident at Talladega in the Nationwide Series was a very ugly crash. I always liked Kevin’s paint schemes from Front Row Motorsports in 2007. Qualifying was very interesting back in those days.
Carter partnered with Front Row for the 2007 season which is how FRM ended up with the #37. When that partnership ended, Carter started the #08 E&M Motorsports team. Nemechek's #08 car was one of the #37 Huddle House cars from earlier in the season. E&M entered the #60 for James Hylton in the 2009 Daytona 500, this was a car number/owner point swap with Mark Simo which is how Boris Said ended up in the #08. Neither car made the race. In 2011 Front Row sold the #37 owner points to Larrry Gunselman who renumbered his #64 team. FRM renumbered from #37 to #55. Larry would then partner with both Rick Ware and Tommy Baldwin before the #37 lineage ended in 2014.
I find it cool how some of those drivers would take time to talk to you and tell their story. It’s pretty nice
Absolutely love this series and I was a fan of Chad Blount. I remember cheering for him when he ran that 78 car
Big fan of the content. Not a fan of Lepage. Keep pulling out in traffic Kevin, then crying about how you never got a fair shot.
Ok...
If you listen to Kevin's vault interview, everything bad that ever happened in his career was someone else's fault. He refuses to take any responsibility for anything.
Dr. Pepper is not part of Coca-Cola or Pepsi, it is the 3rd of the big 3 soda companies in the US.
Great video as always, but Kevin doesn't even know who owns his own sponsors. AMP was always owned by Pepsi, the owner of Mountain Dew. Dr. Pepper is not owned by Coke, it is its own company, but is bottled by Coke or Pepsi depending on where you are in the country. Sorry my Dad worked for Pepsi for 40 years, so I know more about this crap than I probably need to. 😂
Kevin also threw just about everyone under the bus in the 3rd part of his Scene Vault Podcast interview, and refused to admit his 2008 Talladega mistake.
do rick ware racing
Correction: Amp was a Mountain Dew brand, a part of PepsiCo (not Coca-Cola)
Amp was a part of PepsiCo not Coca Cola.
Brock you have done it again!
Dr. Pepper isn't owned by Coca-Cola. Coke owns Mr. Pibb. Dr. Pepper is independent. Amp is owned by PepsiCo as is Mountain Dew.
