Biggest choke in NASCAR ever?

No not even close.

See Jeff Gordon in the All-Star race where Ray didn't put enough fuel in his car to go the distance in the last segment.

Also see Mark Martin in the Busch race coming to pit road (while leading) a lap early because he thought the race was over.

Jeff Gordon's flop wasn't a points race.

Mark Martin's flop, though stupid, was a Busch race.

Ambrose was turning his car off when he had more than enough fuel to make it (plus some green-white checkers) to the end while heading uphill. And it cost his very first victory in Cup.

Marcos didn't do anything "wrong" and he still managed a good finish. He cut off his car, like I am sure other drivers were doing, and then his car wouldn't fire back up.

It was a strange mechanical failure.

Also, for what it is worth, I hear JJ has choked on JG quite a bit. Does that count for choking in NA$CAR?

If im not mistaken last year on the last turn of the final lap he jumped the curb and got loose and got passed and got 2nd. May not have been at the same track. I can't remember.

That was at Montreal in the Nationwide series I believe.

      Canes vs Blackhawks 7pm

      By PantherChris · Posted

      19 of 20 would be .950    No he's not horrible he's just horribly inconsistent he can make amazing saves and then just complete brain farts.... I expect the dude to save the crazy ones but I also expect him to have at least one controller disconnected goal every game. He's not great agaist break aways Freddie probably stops both but a minimum of 1.

      He was beat on two breakaways, those are hardly “soft goals”. Should have closed the five hole and stopped the last one.  He held it to less than the opposing goalie so we won. Stopped 19 of 20 that’s a .900 SV%. No one claimed he was elite but he’s not terrible either.

      I realize that it has been about 2 weeks since the last post; these things evolve.  I n April we will laugh at our January comments. OK, I obtained some intelligence watching ESPN, I think.  Mina said (and I was not paying attention to the reasons they were talking about this because a squirrel ran by the window) that she does not think Tennessee is interested in taking a QB at #1.  To me, that means it will be Hunter.  Then Dan (i think) chimed in that the Browns may not take a QB at #2.  Oh my!!  I would guess they would trade back, but with Watson being out in 2025, what are they going to do?  I understand that they might move back, pick up an OT, and then pick someone like local hero Will Howard in the early second round.  Lotta tea leaf reading there, but the point is, the teams at the top may not be in love with Ward and Sanders....
