And to be honest I never could really accept his decision to drive for Hendrick, never. I put up with it yes, but just didn’t feel right wearing hats , shirts with Hendrick on it.

I wish they would make it OLD school again Make them "STOCKcars" not heavy Formula one cars. In my opinion the word STOCK CAR needs to be remembered. Nascar in my opinion has went backwards since the car of tomorrow, in race quality. Due to costs a guy like Dale Sr. today may not exist or ever get a chance to race at all, a guy who busted his tail and through hard work and persistence became a legend from the efforts of his own 2 hands working and his driving skills. If the cars had more in common to a car i can buy and drive I think nascar would get back what it is losing. But at the same time i understand, how can you go backwards, tough situation. When a championship winning team has to close shop there is a problem. Nascar should not be F1 in costs.

There was a post race interview with Dale where he said, they call me the Intimidator? Have you seen all of the red paint on the back bumper of my black car? He was smiling, he seemed proud that Jeff was learning to race like he did.

DJ GREEDER, BULLCRAP. I worked at Daytona, Darlington, and Talladega NASCAR tracks 1996-2006 as part of the security/safety teams. Of camera, behind the scenes, "Wonder Boy" wasn't a humble nice guy at all. At least twice, at Daytona Speedway garage area, he told a few fans to F-off. Another time, a woman bought a #24 hat and asked him to autograph it. He said "GFY" to her. She got really angry and threw the hat at him. He called her a POS and started to approach her. Our team stopped him from doing that. I told him to look in a mirror for the real POS. I wish that he'd gotten physically aggressive with me.

Jr really respects Jeff. I’ve heard him talk in other interviews about his love for Hendrick MS and Rick too. It’s taken me a long time but man Jr is a good guy, good husband and good father. He never minded walking in his dad’s shadow. He had a pretty crappy childhood. Especially when you think Dale Earnhardt was his dad so it must have been great.

Dale Earnhardt Sr loved the sport so much, he pushed others after he won the Daytona 500. Gotta love when the competitor loves the sport more than the award.

My take on Jeff: From 1995 to present, absolute GOAT. I miss him on the track a lot.

He could have rejected it all he wanted too. He'd just have to stop racing. You folks that think he held some God position over NASCAR are delusional. The only thing that has power over them is the almighty dollar. Sr. wasn't gonna change that. He'd have been retired anyway. I don't like comparing drivers across generations. Things change. Tracks, cars, technology, money. Heck, even within their own careers success becomes fleeting at some point. It all changes. There's no certainty any of the greats would have been so in other times. When Petty won 200 races, they raced a lot more and against lesser competition. He wouldn't get anywhere near 200 wins now. Earnhardt probably wouldn't have 7. Gordon may not have won anything in the 60s & 70s. We already know Gordon would have had more championships if the point system didn't change. JJ would have less. Beyond speculation and belief in our driver, we just don't know. One thing I do like when ranking a driver is success with different crew chiefs. Earnhardt and Gordon both had it. JJ hasn't.

I guess i am getting old, I rather watch my two favorite drivers talk chit about the past than watch current races. I think I am losing interest in NASCAR since I do not play virtual racing anymore. Back in the day when you were still a teen, and I was in my early 20s, I remember racing with you on the Sierra / Papyrus NASCAR RACING simulator/game. Back when it was still BETA test on the TEN Network if I remember correctly. I was mainly a "Professional Quake Player" But when the TEN Hawaii Beta test came out that was my game for the next 10 years. We were in the same race club for some reason you Mr. Dale Jr. seem to give a chit about me or was in a good mood that day, and gave me 3 race setups, one for TEXAS, one for Bristol, and one for restrictor Plates. They made me go from a driver to a winner. I used that Texas setup until they removed that "bump" out of 4. The question I always wonder is it courage or Insanity that allows you race like that in real life? In the time I raced "on simulators" i must of died 30 times or more times a year just on the crazy wrecks I always ended up in trying to hard to compete. Even greater is the courage to get back in the car after a wreck. Dale and Jeff I miss you two racing but I am glad you got the help needed on your concussion.

I’ll never forget watching Jeff’s booger car fly by the screen when the announcers done the “turn up the speakers” laps. Golden days of NASCAR.

I know this is probably beating a dead horse but they took all the prestige out of the sport with the way the championship is decided. It used to mean so much more before the chase. The change alienated a lot of fans who appreciate the consistent grind of the old format. To me its a true motor sports season, not the randomness of a 10 race shootout. A top 5 during the season used to mean something. Now, not as much. It cheapens the whole experience at least for me.

Same time you don't want the race to end under caution like it used to before overtime, that's even worse.

I saw a beautiful sight just about a month ago. I was rolling down I-89 towards White River Junction in my Honda Element. It was a little sloppy that day, wintry mix, so I was cruising along at the speed limit. I could see this large truck growing larger and larger in my rearview mirror. He was on the move! When he rolled by me, it was so awesome. The truck may have been a rig that once hauled Dale's cars from track to track. It was so awesome! Then we hit the junction of 89 and 91. He kept on rolling towards Concord, NH, and I headed South.

Wish this was 3 hours long instead of 10 minutes.

God, it goes without saying how much I miss Dale !! Drafting with the angels now.

I remember a story I heard years ago, in Daytona, for the 500, owners and drivers were bringing their boats in to dock, and I think it was Felix Sabatis said he was on his boat and all of a sudden a big shadow was cast over his boat. He went to the window, looked out and Dale's yacht had just pulled in next to him.

Miss Jeff on the track. He raced hard and clean, as true champion and a gentleman…WonderBoy!

Such a legend 😎 Dale Sr. was my racing inspiration 🙏🏽 Peaceful Journey Legend! 😎 Feb 18, 2001 was both the most Iconic race for me and the most gut punching reality slap! Love Dale Sr so very much! When he ran (#5) Terry off at the finish my brother didn’t talk to me for 3 months!!! He was so mad! 🤬

No matter how many times I've heard these stories they never get boring. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Boys!!

Great job. Love hearing stories from the drivers. Makes me feel like I’m there

Earnhardt Sr. was a hard racer but fun person. You hear the stories of the funny times drivers had with him makes me wish I could have raced and laughed with him

"Seventh, eighth all day. Terrible." *thinking emoji*

God I love these senior stories.

I hope somewhere The Intimidator knows just how loved he'll be for generations.

I cant get enough of this kind of stuff.

Notice how jr just sits back and listens....?

I was thinking Jr. had some thoughts he never got to finish. I guess I'm not the only one that noticed he got interrupted a couple of times. Good stories though. I just discovered this channel and subscribed. Looking forward to more of these

Yeah I noticed that. I wish the other dude would either leave the room, or shut the hell up and let Jr and Gordon y’all.

I agree....I could listen to Dale stories all day long.

I'm English and in 2001 NASCAR hadn't reached a huge number of us over here still! I had become aware of the cult following of DE3 in the States and remember willing him over the winning line in 98' being a massive sport's fan I'm touched deeply by all such stories! So I'm from that moment a big fan of DE! never give up, rewards will come if you work hard and keep faith! Etc etc his story is a perfect example to follow and learn from! I lost my dad also age 49! A massive heart attack caused due to a congenital heart disease passed from female's to males down the family line! It had taken my nan nan (my dad's mum) in 1970! Knowledge of disease etc had not yet advanced to understand the particular heart defect or the genetics or whatever that will show congenital passing on of health issues! Outwardly my dad was quite the specimen! Lol didn't he know it too! I joined the military at 17 and still was some 7 years later! I was serving with fellow NATO forces in Bosnia, I was commanding a forward CP (Communication Post) actually a REBRO or rebroadcast station! Where in operational zones a requirement for the sending of radio communications between HQ's and deployment troops separated by high altitude terrain and the like! An armoured vehicle would be positioned on a high point that allows unobstructed radio signals to all area's of operation and a duty of 24hours relaying messages is where I was at when my squadron Sergeant Major received a call from our RHQ back in Germany a family member had tried to call me to give me news dad was critical! My Sgt major was also my friend and had no way to get anything done to have me underway back to England! Didn't find out til I returned to my squadron HQ following morning by which time another phone call meant I was finding out that I had now lost my dad! Please forgive me for taking this convoluted route in making my point known! I was only a few weeks passed my 24th birthday! My heartfelt emotions with DE3 are obvious! To Dale Jr', I will never be able to stop your hurting, unfortunately! But hopefully by reading my message your understanding that the acuteness of pain will ease, not cease! but lessen to a manageable level but always have our dull ache of absence and missing our dad's! I pray your stronger than I found myself in my abilities to deal with the loss! Think I'm sure you are! I'm thankful for the fact of being allowed to be aware of your father's achievements and witnessing his long awaited Daytona triumph in 98! Which albeit through heart breaking tragedy has brought your own inspiring story of dealing with losing a dad to my attention. And which in turn gave me strength to hold onto and not let courage fail me! Thankyou and hold fast! always.

man i miss those days of nascar....wish dale was still with us. only sports person i get sad when i think about.

I love stories. I never cared about nascar when watching with my grandfather but he loved #3 ... now they’re both gone and I wished I knew that I needed to be more present.

Jeff has such a great impression of Ray Evernham wow

Both those stories were awesome! I am so happy I was able to hear them!

Dale is a good story teller

I could listen to this for hours and hours. I miss the way NASCAR was before Brian France Jr. decided to destroy it. I haven't watched a NASCAR race since Jeff Gordon retired and I wasn't even a big fan of his.

I was never much of a Big E fan, always rooted for Mark Martin. However, the older I get (45 now), the more I enjoy hearing stories about Sr. One of my dearest, best friends who has since passed away was a huge Sr fan and we we're going to the Texas race the year Dale died. We had a good chance to possibly meet Dale or at least some of the team (he was a big fan of Chocolate, too) because of some local business connections my wife had but when Dale died at Daytona, that of course never happened. I think about that every year at Daytona 500 time and at the Spring Texas race time.

Stories are awesome.

I went to about 10 12 races a year. Big earnhardt fan, Jeff changed the sport more than most people will ever know. Before Jeff drivers would sort of ride for 400 miles and race the last 100. Jeff ran every lap like a qualifying lap, he could and flat wheeled his car wide open every lap, rather it was at Richmond Bristol Charlotte Darlington or Talladega. That got under all the drivers skin i know. They knew you had to go right from the start because he would be gone. Dale, rusty and the rest had to play head games because that boy came to race. He wasn't intimidated by nobody. This coming from a lifelong diehard still today earnhardt fan.

In the day, I was never a Dale fan, But since his passing I have learned so much about him that I didn't know. I may not have liked him on track, but off track he just seemed like a likeable guy

The Intimidator was definitely his on track persona. And he easily separated himself from that once the race was over. Gordon in another interview simply stated Sr was one of those guys you just couldn't stay mad at, cause after the race he would come up grab them around the neck in a hug and start joking and carrying on with them like the last 500 miles of racing hadn't happened. Didn't matter whether he was the one who got wrecked or did the wrecking. Very different personality from today's racers.
