Good thing it wasn't Joe Rogan interviewing him. Jr would have never gotten a word in edgewise, we'd just hear about all the plane crashes he's never been in.

Dale Jr is so open and honest about his life. We all should applaud and appreciate his successes, and also understand how precious life is! Thank God his family is still here

What a great dad. His girls are blessed.

So glad Jr. survived, couldn't imagine losing another Earnhardt

JR is so wise beyond his years. Takes a real man to admit that we ALL got issue we need to work on. And to add JR has balls of steel not sure I could get right back into a plane after that traumatic situation wow.

Dale Jr. sharing this is reliving a past trauma. Obviously that is not easy.. You can tell your human when it gave you a lump in your throat and hold back the tears.. we all are better people for having heard this awful experience. Hopefully it evolved us all as compassionate people.

Dont know much about nascar, but Dale Jr seems to be a real solid dude.

I'm so glad that Dale Jr. made it through this crash. My family has been fans of the Earnhardt family for 37 years. Our entire family mourned Dale Sr. for years. We've been to so many races. I've watched Dale Jr grow up. I love him and their entire family.

My dad used to work as a paramedic at the Rescue Squad Station just down the road from the airport. He was there that day and actually helped comfort Amy and Ila shortly before they were transported to the hospital. He also made sure that Dale knew that they were ok and that they were being sent to the medical facility before he was transported to the hospital himself. I will never forget the story he told me on how he met Dale in the most bizarre circumstance possible. I think he said that when he told him that his wife and daughter we ok and being transported he said, "Dale". Dale responded, "Yeah?" And then it clicked to my dad who he was. The voice, the face, the wife and daughter, the private jet. It all started to make more sense. I'm glad that Dale is ok and I hope he forever recovers from this.

JR is what our generation needs as a role model! Thanks for giving him another platform for him to show the world his character

As a former Flight Attendant for Northwest Airlines for MANY years, I cannot express the fear that went through me just hearing him relive this experience! I lost friends in the 1990 NWA collision at Detroit due to fire. I will never forget remembering that when I saw video of Dale’s plane on fire when it came on the news. People never pay attention during the safety demo prior to takeoff. ALWAYS count how many rows you are from the closest emergency exit, including the window exits. I can’t express how important that is!

If I get to choose my seat I always try to pick exit closest to the wing area. One because I’m 6’4 225 lbs and strong to operate door. Two because it only makes since that area most likely is the strongest built structurally because of forces applied to wings and weight etc. Three I’m first aid trained for 30 years and being in center of the plane I can help front or back equally if needed. And if there’s ever a terrorist threat also gives me position to see most of plane to see threats and situation so I can eliminate the threat without endangering others.

Dale Jr is the freaking man! His dad is the reason I started watching NASCAR. He died on my 16th birthday while we were watching the race. Sad day. Dale Sr would be so proud of Jr

Hearing how he talks about his daughter on planes makes me think they're going to have a real good conversation about it when she's old enough to be able to

Man you can hear the emotion in his story telling. So glad that it didn't end different.. God bless

Jr is a great storyteller, great detail doesn’t rush it, builds up to the climax perfectly. This probably didn’t help his ptsd from crashing. Damn, this boy has been through some shit. Hope his days of being in wrecks is over

Ok, I was amazed. The gentleman did not interrupt Dale Jr. That was a great piece of journalism.

Thank God you all survived it looked horrible. Your love for your family is very encouraging and inspirational for others. I hope your experience helps others.

I remember that day vividly. I'm really glad he was able to talk about it, and even more thankful they got out in time.

Dale Earnhardt was my only hero growing up, and I cried for 3 days when he died. But now, Jr. is my new hero just because of how good of a dad he is and because of the great man he is! Amazing and intense clip. Thank you guys!

Jr is such a good Dude. He puts his family first. Great interview guys!

Damn,I totally forgot that he was in a plane crash. I remember hearing the news about it and deep down inside I was feeling something I can't explain until I heard he and family was ok.

Jr. we're sure glad everything turned out as well as could be imagined in that type of situation. We knew about the crash and knew you and your family were safe from harm. But we had not heard the story from yourself. God bless You and Your Family my friend. Yes you are a great story teller, and we all get to witness that on the Dale Jr Download every week.

its stuff like this is why he is beloved by his fans.jr has got to be the most down to earth,working man type of celebrety there is.you'd never guess he's wealthy beyond his wildest dreams.he could easily retire.but he's a working man at heart.at least the broadcasting is a much safer career choise for him.

Such a super good dad. Dale jr is so great.

Junior was doing a Mountain Dew promotion on his podcast around this time. It was called "Dew Time off", where he chose an employee to give them a day off and some cash to do something they want. The week of this accident, he had given his long-time pilot the "dew time off". I still wonder if it was that pilot or a fill-in pilot.

God is great. God bless you, Amy and Isla lil’ E. 🙏❤️🙏

Glad they made it out safely and are back in the air

Good to know my all time favorite driver is such a great father and role model!

the best journalism is when you can simply set up your guest with something that allows them to just speak with no filter and no interruptions. Awesome segment

I hope he never questions again if he made his Daddy proud, I know that Dale Sr. could be a tough cookie, but I know that he was proud of Jr. and would be even more so had he lived!!!! This man is the most real, honest person there is and he deserves the best life!!!

How can you not love Junior, damnit.

Dale jr is a good guy. Crazy story. I remember when it happened. Glad your okay.

Awesome story. Thank you Dale for sharing. Hats off to you!!! Miss you do much in Nascar!! Prayers yo you and your family. Continue on and do great things. Love you man ❤️

I am a FedEx Express driver in the area of Elizabethton Tennessee where he crashed . I was literally about 10 minutes behind getting to the highway where the plane stopped . Glad they were ok. Plane was burnt to a crisp as well as the road

Thank you for letting dale speak ..i am 56 old man and had tears running down my cheeks..same way i was when we lost his dad.

I drove by there as it was happening could see a plane down at Elizabethton Airport and smoke and flames had started but could see people near the plane, I went on up and picked up a load of tires and by the time I was coming back, it was on the radio that was juniors plane, I did alot of praying that day

A year later & DJ still sounds emotional. I’m glad he & his family is still here ❤️❤️

a story few get to recount and fewer get to hear. great job guys.

Dale Jr. is a wonderful young man. Unbelievable story & just shows how much he loves his family. So glad Amy & Isla are okay. Dale & Amy are going to therapy to work thru this trauma is such a great idea. Blessings & prayers for them.

This is what I love about this show, ya-all put it all on the table every time, no holding it back 👍🇺🇸

Thanks to Dale for talking about it. As a Racing driver, pilot and human, Dale's words stick with me. Its good to learn from others experience. You are a good man and a great daddy Dale!:)

Best Bussin episode yall have created!

Great interview. Glad they are ok. Can’t imagine what they went through.

ALL the things a Good Dad says , thinks & feels .... Doing real good Dale !!!!

I live close to this airport. They use it to train missionaries to fly into remote airstrips. It’s down in a valley between mountains and has a short runway.

It’s really strange what your mind is thinking when hell is unfolding all around you and you realize that it’s really happening right now...

Answered prayers. Was so grateful that Isla, Amy and you made it out of that plane ok. God definitely had y’all in the palm of His hand that day. Love you guys and will continue praying for the fam. God is great. 🙏

More from Dale for sure.. Awesome story....So humble...

i bet he kept the pilot that stayed in the aircraft until his entire family including dog was out

U can see the admiration they have for dale when listening. Really cool boys! Why the pod rocks

This man has been a major influence since I can Remember.

Thank you Jesus for allowing Dale Jr ,his family,and flight crew to survive this❤!

Thanks for the interview and letting a good speaker speak. A good job all around!

I’m not into NASCAR or know anything about it, but I watch anything with Dale Earnhardt Jr. when it pops up on my recommended feed. Seriously. No idea about racing. At all. But he’s such a class act, role model and story teller.

Appreciates hearing from dale jr.bouts the experience because back in 2017 April i was on a 50th. birthday trip too BRISTOL, too the nascar trac! I believe I've traveled on that road close too his accident & I've had miracles happen in my lifetime 💛🎶🏁

This man has been through a lot!! Still standing, it's remarkable

Im glad their ok. I wouldnt wanna even imagine the fear

Wow! That was a close one Dale.🤘🏻🏁

Pilot error they deployed the thrust reversers and the plane is programmed to throttle back if you try to fly if the reversers is out. So the go around they tried turned into stay on the ground and a runway excursion.

He broke it down. I'll never forget. I love Dale, Jr.❤🖤✌

Quick tip for your highlight videos. Put a link to the whole podcast in the description please and thank you!!

Humble. Legend. Legacy. Respect

Dale would be proud to see you

I respect and look up to him. I hope I can be as good of a father and husband as him.

We love ya Dale!

My wife & I had just put a bid on a house, just up the hill from the Elizabethton Airport. We were traveling out of town when we heard about the crash. I can't fathom what all they went through. When we came back into town and saw where this happened, we thought, OMG we were at that very spot just minutes before the crash. Thank God everyone came out safely & no one on the ground was hurt, either! By the way, we got the house & love Elizabethton!

Awesome video, letting Jr. Do the talking!!

Wow what a story, Jr can really paint a vivid picture

I live on this road!! I remember when it happened, the road was shut down for quite awhile.

Incredible.

I love that Junior is all about his daughter, history doesn't have to repeat itself.

Good interview fellas and Will where’s your Husker Jersey?

That shit was scary to learn about because I was down for the race that weekend

I know your dad loved you and you him. I would have been so happy to have a son and daughter like you both. Dads can be tough and scary some have hard parents or become like them I can tell your your own man I also think you were never a dirty driver and admired your skill. Take care and your family.

Dam y’all got the first Dale Jr plane crash interview

Man Dale this is so hard for you to go back over. I was night shift lead on T wheel campaign , Engine shop technician. hangar had to furnish 2 mechanics. They didn't take there work serious, I would send them to the terminal watch people get off the airplane to meet their family. Just to get them away from the airplane. It's very serious business to change out a turbine wheel and People fly on it 12 hours later.

Thank you God! Thank you for sharing them all 🙏❤️

Wow, what a story, so glad you were ok.

Best quality for a pilot and life in general...solid decision making under pressure.

I can tell you that being in a plane is safer then your personal automobile. I come from a family who are pilots and fly, You have to talk to someone about your issues and get through that part. So glad that everyone came out okay!

Oh my glad your walking and talking makes one believe in miracles god bless

Boys, well done!

Jr was also thinking about his wife & child. I was so scared for them & Jr kept his cool to make sure his family was okay

Damn man, I’m glad y’all made it out safe!

Those planes land so dam fast, zero room for error

Amazing how as it’s crashing he’s analyzing blindly in slow motion just like he would through a crash in a stock car

I can relate to the not wanting to put your child on a plane. We had a place crash on its way to pick my family up when I was 19. I’m 44 now and have flown 3 times since then. Those were situations where it was fly or don’t go and I took the “risk.” But I will not let my kids fly. They want to. But they’ll have to wait until they’re adults and can make the decision for themselves. We travel a lot, so I’m glad I enjoy driving across this fantastic country. I can’t relate to what it feels like to actually experience a plane crash firsthand. My guess is the no fear life of a race car driver made it a little easier. Still gotta be a little frightening.

Wow! So scary. So glad they are ok.

Great interview let the guest talk and just listen.

I like how he's ok with getting help , because in my world it's a sign of weakness if you seek help. That is the tough greman head strong side, that being said. The world and every thing has gotten so much more complicated. Dealing with some kind of treatment or counseling, could be a better reality than just bucking it all the time.

Never liked dale jr much when he was racing. After getting to know him through his podcasts and things like this, hes a good guy and comes across very genuine and down to earth.

Dale Jr. Witnessed his father's death, the Corvette he was driving explodes and catches on fire, the plane him and his family are on crashes and catches on fire, he has been in some really bad wrecks while in NASCAR to cause him severe concussions that puts him into early retirement. Dale Jr. Has witnessed, lived, and went through major traumatic events that have changed his life, but he doesnt give up, he finds ways to heal and learn, he has the love and support of family, friends, and fans.

Wow!
