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.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
