Jeffrey Earnhardt Reveals Deals to Race Fell Apart | The Dale Jr. Download
Спорт
While he is an Earnhardt, Jeffrey has made it a point to earn his opportunities in racing based on hard work and merit, not his namesake. As a result, he’s followed a winding, sometimes turbulent road through the motorsports world. He provides great insight to listeners on the differences between top-dollar teams and smaller operations in NASCAR, and what he’s learned from his time spent with both.

Gotta love Jeffrey Earnhardt. He's chasing the dream big time.
I will never not pull for Jeffrey, he's my favorite underdog, hang tough Jeffrey!
JR, admire you for the honest and direct conversations, without ever provoking guests to create content.
Jeffrey is one of the most down to earth person you will ever meet...He has always worked for everything he has..Good luck to you no matter what life throws your way.

For everyone who keeps saying Dale Jr. should give Jeffery a ride, he has driven a few times for Jr in the Xfinity Series. He even had the opportunity to run full time for Jr but he wanted to make it on his own rather get a top ride based on his last name.

Thank you. Jeffrey may not remember this but my husband and I sat at a table in the fan zone and Jeffrey sat with us. He was very young, but I thought then what a remarkable young man and it was a joy. God will give you a chance Jeffrey. If I give you the year it will really show how old I am.

To come out of the quagmire they got kicked into when Dale passed away, and prospered in spite of it just amazes me!!

He had a path that one Toyota team that one year. 2018 or 2019 I think. Had the sponsor iK9, everything was looking ok, new team, then the next year Jeffery & the sponsor went to Gibbs and that's where it fell apart. I felt so bad for him because that could have led him to be in the Toyota pipeline or even just more eyes on him. He ran solid in Xfinity during a stacked line up of higher quality/better funded young drivers.

No not really... hes gonna give you a top 15 though, sprinkled in will be few top 10s too. In a 100 races he'd give you 80 top 15s, and 10 top tens and 10 top 5s. Imo he should stick to the truck series just like Todd, that way he can get wins

Dale you are so good at this. Asking the questions in a respectful way
i became a fan of his when i saw him live in that number 3 at Talladega last year for the xfinity race. the dude races clean and gives people space and is super smooth in great equipment. He legit almost came back on that last lap and almost got Gragson too. would have been a huge story if he had won.

I’ve watched Jeffrey race with the same interest that I watched Dale Jr race. He’s an Earnhardt, which doesn’t hurt of course, but he’s consistently shown the passion and talent necessary to succeed. How someone in the industry hasn’t seen the things I’ve seen in him & given him a chance - is beyond me. This man can DRIVE. How about JRM, guys?!?
Jeffrey is so underrated in my opinion, put him in a good ride and he’ll thank you
Jeffery is one determined & strong young man!!.. Just like Grandpa..
Can’t get enough stories about the Earnhardt family. All of them are so humble. Good to have Kelley there too. Have to listen to whole Podcast
Cool to see Dale, kelly and Jeffery just sitting around talkin to each other
It's amazing to see how all the Earnhardts look alike!
He’s brutally honest about his dreams
Dale this video was phenomenal!!! I wish and I pray that Jeffrey can find that perfect person for him that will support him 💯 million percent in life ,home and racing . He'll find a way to keep the family balance and bond and love and racing because he's set genetically as an Earnhardt to be able to do all of it and make it work 👍💞🤗💞 I pray he can get a cup ride that's with a great team that has the best sponsorships for him to have great equipment under him and he can use his dedication and skills to WIN🏁🏆🏁LOVE Y'ALL 💞🤗💞🙏🙏 Can't wait for the next video 💞🤗💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cool interview, thank you for posting, If the situation was right, I'd like to see Dale Jr give Jeffrey some seat time in a JR Motorsports car. Ultimately I like to see it lead to a competitive full time ride in Xfinity or Cup, or even in the Truck series. I wish the one race deal he had with RCR at Talladega lead to more races with that team.
I still remember Jeffery’s first Xfinity start at Dover years ago. He wrecked in qualifying and I thought oh boy. Cool to see him still racing and working
Jeffery Earnhardt is the one most underrated driver that if he had a full time ride in a quality car he would be a champion

Absolutely phenomenal to get to ask your brother questions so you and us fans get to know Jeffrey Earnhardt because he hasn't been talked about a lot in the racing industry like your Granddaddy Ralph and your Daddy THE INTIMIDATOR and of course, you yourself. Love this podcast and all of your podcasts!!🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He is fortunate to have one of the most marketable names in the sport. But that also brings a lot of pressure to live up to it. Dale Sr set that bar so high, I can't imagine what pressure Jr and Jeffrey have had to endure. But over all, life seems pretty good for the Earnhardt's.
We need more of the table full of Earnhardt's ...good to see...great interview !
gotta love the way Jr talks to him. "WHEN are you getting married?"
Jr. is a great interviewer.
3 Earnhardts in a room.. Something special about that
Give him the shot that he needs, we need another Earnhardt on the track , I was a die hard fan of your dad's since the beginning of the time I think and yours .
It still surprises me that Jeffrey is the second 4th Generation NASCAR driver and I hope he wins a race one day… That’ll be a story to tell! Last year when he raced the number 3 for RCR at Talladega spring race and grabbed the pole during qualifying I prayed for Jeffrey to win the race and I picked him to win the race and I was on the edge of my seat as the laps wind down and when Jeffrey finished second against Noah Gragson I was shaking… And after the race I thought “Jeffrey you didn’t win the race but you won the race in my book!” He drove that car very hard that day…
I think it would be awesome if he would race for JR Motorsport

Im sure the name alone got him some places, but racing is an expensive business, and if you dont have it, you just dont have it. Im speaking ine general since i havent followed Jeffrey. Jr didnt get to where he was/is because of his Dad alone. He had skills like his Dad, natural ones, and people like Smoke saw it. Its hard to get a compliment from a racer like Smoke (grassroots, dirt track guy), and Smoke isnt going to compliment a guy that has a great team and money behind him, but no skill. Not to be mean, but I am sure if he had natural racing abilities that are needed at that level, JRM, Childress, or Hendrick would be pulling him in. That name, work ethic, and maturity is going to bring in the sponsors. I think his natural abilities is the missing link. Look at Jr, didnt start racing at all until late teens, partying/playing and having friends was his passion when he was younger and that pissed Sr off alot, it seems. Got in a race car and Tony Sr told Dale Sr, hey your boy has it. This all came out of Jrs mouth himself. That is when Dale Sr started investing in Jr. Too much money to risk, just to have your kid run around in circles, having fun, but never getting anywhere.

This was excellent show with all the family.
I like him as a person. As far as Nascar driver he has had way more Chances then 99% of other upcoming drivers, just because of his last name. Nothing wrong using what your given. If I could use my last name to get ahead I would. Kyle Petty, Adam Petty,, Dale, Kerry and Jeffrey Earnhardt. Steven Wallace. The Dillion Brothers Ty and Austin Dillon both Grandsons of Richard Childress. These and there have been many others in different disciplines of racing that have used a famous last name such as Foyt, Andretti, Rahal. Drag racing the daughters of John Force one thing about the Force girls they all have great talent and winners and champions.

Jeffrey was that close to winning the Talladega race last year in the RCR #3 Camaro with McReynolds as his crew chief. Hopefully, J. Earnhardt will do well with the #44 TJM Camaro this year.

Just had an idea. Has anyone heard a rumor or stirrings about Dale Jr running in the All Star Race? He is a past winner, so technically, he can enter if he wants to. I think he should enter it in his own car, number 88 or 83. What do y'all think?

Jeffrey has come along way I'm very surprised Jr you just don't get him in the 5th car at Jr Motorsports especially on Super Speedways because Jeffrey can draft and run up front. Great run at Daytona Jeffrey never give up.🤘🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸🏁👍

I'd like to see more of Kelley on these broadcasts. She's had a full career I'd like to have her discuss on the show.
Hey Dirty Mo, you guys mentioned several key aspects during the interview but then didnt help the listener understand the details around it. 'The Gibbs deal", "The DEI deal", and a few others. Please remember that the listener is not privy to what you guys already know so it would be great to fill us in if only briefly. Enjoyed hearing Jeffrey's interview from a born and raised Wythe County native that was mentioned.
I don't understand why JR motorsports doesn't give Jeffery a chance to drive one of his cars
I can't wait for the day Jeffery gets to drive for JR Motorsports
I’d love to see Jeffrey get 1 full season in quality equipment like JR Motorsports, Hendrick, or RCR for Xfinity level. After seeing Jeff only race 1 time for JR & 1 time for RCR plus the 5 races for Gibbs, I think he deserves a quality chance vs having to fight his car/equipment to stay on the lead lap. In his 7 starts in quality equipment in Xfinity he has 5 top 20s, 4 top 15s, 3 top 10s, & 2 top 5s. Just missing a W (which I wish would have happened @ Dega with Larry Mac)

The big problem for Jeffery is, he's been in filler cars for far too long. If a team would give him a quality car he could win some races. He's been working hard for it unlike some in the Nascar scene who have had nothing but the best given to them. He has a passion to race, not doing it for the money.
