Yes it does and that’s a great advocate to have on your side. It’s also great when that person can call you out when you need to check up. Junior and Kelley have that type of relationship. He listens to her and he knows that she knows her stuff. Very successful because they have each other’s back. Most important person and truest friend that I’ve ever had is my sister. We both knew that the other would know what to do and listening to each other was all we had to do to be successful. Thanks little sis!!

For those of you who might not have known this. Gibbs was a coach under Don Coryle of the San Diego Chargers. Great offensive coach. Gibbs started the single running back offense that most teams use to this day. He did that so he could add extra Tight Ends to the offensive line, to help block Lawrence Taylor. Most O-lineman could not block LT by themselves. ☠️☠️

I thank you Junior for being who you are and showing that well mannered, simple and respectful southern gentleman can make it.

That might just be the most incredible and uplifting interview I've ever seen on anyone ...ever! I noticed that while the Coach was talking....there was an absolutely quiet absorbing presence in the studio. What an incredible take on everything in life. So very inspirational. Great job on just asking a few very good questions and letting the Coach talk.

Great interview with Coach and awesome story.

The world is full of what-ifs. It does make you wonder doesn't it? Great interview. Have always loved Coach.

quality conversation . very much enjoyed. thank you.

This makes me wonder what it was that Joe Gibbs and maybe even Rick Hendrick offered Jr, to drive.

How amazing was that???!!!!! Big smile, and good laughs....!!!

Look at the guys Joe Gibbs has had race for him. Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Dale Jarrett, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr., Bobby Labonte, and Joey Logano. What a guy. He knows race talent for sure! You could've easily added Dale Jr. to that list.

One hell of a story. I will have to use the Tomatoes trick next time I'm doing business.

What Dale should had done is had someone make those Tomatoes and have them here on the table for this show ha

Those model cars on the desk are pretty sweet. Man, that's a bigol desk.

I often wonder what it wouldve been like to have junior with Gibbs. I also wonder how he would've taken to the news they we're switching Toyota or would Gibbs even do that if Junior was a part of JGR. Great interview.

Joe is a class-act. Great man.

Did you see joes face when when dale said why he didn't sign .something new to him it blew joes mind. kudos to jr.

I still believe to this day that if Sr was still around, Jr would have a Championship or 2 under his belt. Jr knew what he was doing, but I think his dad helped him keep the focus where it should have been.

Jr. gets all the best guests.... I really wish Jr. had signed with Joe Gibbs cause that would've paired Tony Stewart & Jr. together who from like 01-04 just dominated plate tracks working together... I think under Joe just having Tony they would've put more effort into making Jr's tenure a success there... At Hendrick when u have Gordon & Jimmie Johnson you really don't need Jr. to win... He just needs to be there to bring in the Sponsors..

Now that is some cool history Wright there.

How would you react if you were all of a sudden handed a contract for a top tier team for tens of millions, all the while the people that are pitching the deal anticipating for you to sign it?

Joe Gibbs is such a class act.

Lifelong JGR fan here. I remember before a race, during this time, DW said he had good information that Junior was going to be in a #18 VISA car. I was elated. I’m glad it worked out how it did, but I think JGR would have been better for junior

I understand why Jr went to Hendrick, but my heart dropped in my stomach when he announced he was going to Hendrick.

JGR was still a Chevy team and talks were still ongoing with GM. Tony left cause of the opportunity to owning a team for free. Coach Gibbs let Tony out of his remaining year of his contract cause he wanted Tony to be happy owning a team. Gibbs could’ve forced Tony to stay. If you were offered half of a team with the other owner (a billionaire) committed to doing whatever it took and giving you almost complete charge of the team for FREE, would’ve you do it?

Never was a fan of Jr as a driver, but as an entertainer i enjoy him. I just wanted my Sideskirt painted. lol

Isn’t it insane how Joe Gibbs literally started his team by getting Hendricks engines? Look at all he’s built since then... especially in 19’ with his team winning a ton of races. Truly a Nassar legend.

I still can't get over the similarities I see in my neighbors and the Earnhardts. He looks a lot like little E, got a ride from his father (local dirt track-his father retired) and huge redskins fan. Maybe that's why I became a Jr fan, he reminds me so much of my neighbor. Only difference is he out preformed his father from what I recall watching. I am still proud to say my neighbors were great racers and I knew them and I'm sure Sr is proud of what little E has done!

Man at the Super Speedways they basically were. As soon as one of them found the other. They we're sticking together like Fleas on a hound dog. 🕵🏽 Right to the front of the pack. I remember when Tony and Bobby Labonte used to race together at the big tracks. They would hang at the back waiting for the others to wreck. Then come up front towards the end of the race. With Dale Jr and Tony. They would immediately try to get to the front. Everyone would wreck behind them. Lol

I always loved Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, and Richard Childress Racing. Those three will always be the three I cheer on. Hendrick and the Chevys will always be my top pick though.

There is no man, celebrity or not, that is as good and true and honest and kind and genuine as Joe Gibbs! Met him a few times and have never been in the presence of a greater man. HTTR!

I like how he knew Johnny rockets would be big and now look at it. It is in casinos in Vegas.

@Ironhardt_8 I remember sitting in a pub in far northern WI, one snowy night...it was a snowmobile club event. There was my father in law, a FORD guy, and a big Kenseth fan at the time, and this rough, gruff older dude that was an Earnhardt fan like myself. The Ford guy told the Chevy guys that Kenseth was more talented and would go farther than Jr. Nobody wanted to believe it at the time, but look how it turned out. The one thing I will say is, Jr. did alright considering the pressure he had to carry the torch of ALL those fans that wanted him to do well for his father's memory and legacy. As time went on, it became clear, he just didn't have the talent to drive a loose race car the way the top guys could. They'd tighten him up, and back in the pack he would drift. All good things must come to an end, just like the Petty's and the Allison's, now the Earnhardts.

Instead of sitting behind a radio show I think Jr needs to come out of retirement he could probably do it
