Busch's 2015 title was absolutely legitimate. If he missed those races for a suspension, it would be a different story. However, it was for an injury, something that was totally out of his control and not his fault. If Jr won a title like that, no one would be batting an eye. Kyles title is just delegitimized by haters of both him and the playoff format bc it gives them an outlet to channel their anger. Sucks to see one of the greatest underdog stories in sports history keep getting that type of label

The whole 2015 season just felt fake, rigged, and like NASCAR just wanted all of these things to happen beforehand, meaning they probably put together a script of how THEY wanted the season to go before the season started. - NASCAR: Every driver must attempt to qualify for EVERY RACE to make the chase/playoffs - Also NASCAR: They just let Kyle Busch in the playoffs despite him missing a third of the season, and he wins the championship.(Only because they let him) - Talladega fall, they just ditch the 3 GWC rule, and end the race after only 1 attempt. And they award the win to Joey Logano even though DALE EARNHARDT JR WAS IN FRONT WHEN THE CAUTION CAME OUT! I'm a Kevin Harvick fan, and Harvick deserved that championship more than Kyle did. All in all, everything about that season felt pre-scripted, fake, and rotten. But even after the fiasco that was 2015, I still love NASCAR. I hope we never see another season like this again.
@DL-nn1ws

Addressing the Talladega situation, Dale Jr actually was behind Logano when the caution came out. That can be seen quite clearly. What did happen was, they held out the caution until he was no longer in front. And well.... Harvick would have been a deserving champion but you can clearly see him squeeze Trevor Baynd into the wall. He wrecked him to preserve his spot. That’s... well.... dirty and unsportsmanlike. They only minimally “acceptable” case for wrecking someone is if it isn’t intentional (moving someone out of the way but the driver spins, for example) on the last lap for the win

And Gordon was trying to win in his final season in the sport. I absolutely loved the Final Four for 2015. Great work on the video though!

Personally I think that 2015 should've been Kevin Harvick's championship. Though he did only win 3 times, he: A: Was very unlucky to not win more (led the most laps at Watkins Glen before running out of gas on the last lap, dominated the second Loudon race before running out of gas with 3 to go, dominated the first Michigan race before cutting a tire shortly before rain ended the race, and dominated the second Phoenix race before pitting shortly before the race-ending caution came out). Realistically, he should've won like 6-7 times. B: Finished in the top three in more than half the races, scored 23 top five finishes, and finished in the top 10 in all but eight races. C: Led 2294 laps, the most laps in a single season since Jeff Gordon in 2001. What he did at Talladega was awful, but it shouldn't undo the many accomplishments of the season.

Kyle Busch is an unpopular driver BECAUSE he's a great driver and has been good from the start. People who hate him will say it's for other reasons but that's just a similar excuse as the ones used for other drivers who were hated the same way. Other drivers who were hated from the start of their careers for the same reason include but are not limited to Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Darrel Waltrip, Tony Stewart, etc. The fact of the matter is that all of those drivers weren't fully appreciated until late in their careers or until they were over because then those fans realized the sport of NASCAR is much better with them in it.

I feel like the fact that Kyle Busch was able to win the championship in 2015 shows off one of the benefits of the playoff format. The champion should be the best driver of the year, and whether or not you're forced to miss races doesn't change that. Also, I can guarantee that if a more popular driver won a championship after they missed races, people would see it the same way. If you need an example, just look forward one season and see how people reacted to Tony Stewart's win at Sonoma.

To just touch what I believe are the more controversial points of this season, Harv absolutely should've been punished for his actions at Dega. Clear as day, turned right into Bayne to send him around. It was the only way for him to move on in the Chase, it's hard to really give him any benefit of the doubt. KyBu, personally I think he earned that title no matter what. Let's say hypothetically the injury never happened and then everything played as was, he still wins the championship regardless. Granted, I know the ruling at the time was that you had to attempt to qualify for every race to be considered eligible for the title, I think his injury was so unbelievably out of his control I can't fault NASCAR for granting the waiver as they did.

I'm super neutral towards the whole Kyle thing because realistically, Kyle would've won it with the existing rules had the Daytona crash not occurred and all other raced played out as they had. Kyle's is at the bare minimum, with bad luck a Round of 8 driver. I get there ire, but it was more NASCAR saying "yeah, we kinda fucked up by not having SAFER barriers at our own track". After that was when a lot of tracks began to get inner SAFER barriers if memory serves right. Also, if you're going to say that Kyle didn't deserve it but thinks Chastain deserves a final four spot last truck season, you're not worth my time.

While I do argue Kyle Busch’s 2015 title is an asterisk as someone of a Kyle Busch fan myself. He was forced to miss the first 11 races of the season as a result of his injuries. It wasn’t his decision that he would eligible for the Chase if was in the top 30 that was NASCAR. As previously said while yes Kenseth’s revenge was totally justified and possibly for the suspension that Jeff Gordon would’ve deserved but didn’t was not only to Bill France son Brian France Jr and NASCAR’s higher ups being inconsistent on penalties but also even if Jeff Gordon was clearly at fault like 2012 Phoenix. They spared him because, he was popular and showed there was some biased between drivers. But on the other hand Busch deserved the 2015 championship. He did what he was supposed to do. Stayed out of trouble as best he could except the first couple of races where he did crash and some poor finishes which affected his average race result. The fact that he was able to get through to the final 4 where it’s the first to the flag and he won it outright. But really the main factor into why 2015 could arguably be a bad season was just down to NASCAR shooting themselves in the foot.

Anger) 5) 2014 (Kevin Harvick won the Championship with new ride #4) 6) 2019 (Things got a little downhill with DW retiring) 7) 2011 (Fuel strategy) 8) 2010 (Cars have wings in the back which looks quite goofy for Car of Tomorrow) 9) 2018 (Kyle Busch's repeat wins) 10) 2015 (Just like what mentioned about Matt Kenseth vs. Joey Logano)

I think it's good. Of course people have their own opinions liking certain seasons more than others. Some hatred against it and some drivers depending on who did what proved that some fans blindly hate drivers for one thing but when their hero does it it's ok. A lot of people don't do it but a bunch do to drivers like Dale Jr Chase Elliot when they are mostly in right or Kyle Busch, and the Dillon brothers they hate almost anything they do. Of course NASCAR in a way is a gigantic case of heroes vs villians depending on who you like and hate and it isn't wrong to cheer for or not like certain drivers no matter how popular they are. But sometimes you have to be realistic, Kyle Busch was first hated for the 2008 Richmond race when Kyle Busch got loose and spun out Dale Jr but a year earlier when Dale Jr wrecks Kyle Busch at Kansas most say it was an error by Jr. Another case it people complaining about Kyle Busch winning the title for not running the whole season but NOBODY says ANYTHING when Red Byron, Bill Rexford, Herb Thomas, Tim Flock, Buck Baker, Rex White, Ned Jarrett, Joe Weatherly, David Pearson, Bobby Isaac, Lee Petty, and Richard Petty won championships without running the whole season. Plus Tony Stewart technically didn't run the whole 2002 season, Stewart had to sit out the last like half of the Bristol spring race from injuries but because he followed the rules by starting the race he got credited the points. Yet people despise it when Kyle Busch followed the rules by getting in the top 30, win a race to win the title. True 2015 has a bunch of bad spots but not as bad as people sometimes make it out to be.
