Mike Joy is a Legend. Plain and simple.

One thing that really made this podcast interesting to listen to is the fact that it felt like there was a conversation going on between two broadcasters. Mike Joy really gave a lot of advice to Dale Jr and we, the listener, were able to hear almost all of it. Mike Davis occasionally coming in as a viewer like the rest of us, really made this feel all the more real.

Mike Joy has the passion of a driver for the sport and it translates well in his commentary of the race. One of the greatest!!!

If that's one word to describe Mike: genuine. He doesn't care if you're Dale Earnhardt Sr. or just a fan online. Such a down to earth guy. I will always appreciate his work.

Mike Joy is a great commentator and has for many years. Thank you for sharing his thoughts and all he has seen in his experiences.

One of my favorite episodes. This guy is such a class act. When Mike Joy hangs up the Mic, NASCAR will lose one of the best there ever was. What a amazing guy.

Such a freakin professional! The sport is so lucky to have him!

Mike Joy Is Legend. I hope Dale Jr finds that confidence to take over the play-by-play role.

Mike Joy us such a pleasant person to listen to.

Mike Joy, Larry Mac & DW. They made quite the trio in the booth. I'll always love Mike Joy. He called the man in black to victory in the 500, He was the friendly face that grieved with us with Dale's televised memorial back in 01' Mike Joy & the dudes in the booth & their fixation with the beach ball @ Martinsville in the mid 2000's. There's just so many fond , great racing memories from listening to Mike Joy . His time in the pits & worked his way into the booth. When he made it into the booth & had Larry Mac & DW , They would always bring the special excitement at the crowned jewel events.

My favorite memory of Mike Joy is when Darrel Waltrip won the Daytona 500. In victory lane DW grabbed Mike by the lapels and exclaimed "I won the Daytona 5oo!" Mike's smile and joy for Darrel was memorable.

They did Larry Mac dirty taking him out of the booth in favor of a second driver. All it was after that was DW and Gordon butting heads because DW was going off of being a driver in the 70's/80's whereas Jeff actually had current success and recent insight to the cars/drivers/teams.

I can’t love this enough ! It’s almost a passing of the torch. Dale Jr. has matured so much as a broadcaster in such a short period of time. Mike Joy is an icon.

Not enough people appreciate what Mike Joy means to NASCAR and motorsports, hopefully this podcast sheds some light on just how big of a GOAT he really is.

Hey Dale, i don’t know it you will ever see this, but here goes.. I have been a Northwest Motocross announce for 22 years, and I always love it when someone like Mike Joy, and yes YOU, come across these moments of clarity, when someone explains something about broadcasting that is so simple and brilliant minded that you instantly say: “Dang!!”

I can remember that last lap in 1998 when Dale Sr won. Mike had us worked up. I wasn't a Sr fan but a Nascar fan that day. I cried that day he finally won the 500. Thank you Mike Joy. Love your broadcasting

Mike Joy is the best. I met him at COTA in 2014 during the SVRA Nationals while he was racing his Mustang.

Dear Dirty Mo Media, When Mike Joy retires from the commentating booth, please offer him a podcast of his own. Someone like him who has been a part of the sport for a really long time must have a lot of interesting and amazing stories to tell. I'm very sure a lot of people would love to hear from a NASCAR TV Legend such as Mike Joy and the wild stories he must have and has been keeping from the media, just waiting for the right time to share them. So again, please offer Mike Joy a podcast of his own once his TV career comes to a close. Sincerely, Farkle8000

Mr. Joy is one of my heroes.

Mike Joy Is A Legend

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this podcast. Not only is Mike a great sportscaster but the best human being.

Born in '81 and have been a Nascar fan since. Precisely as long as Mike Joy has been broadcasting nationally for Nascar. This is honestly the first time I have ever seen him outside the booth or not in the pits. And it was brilliant! You guys have grown Dirty Mo into one of the most respectable podcasts on the net.

My God were all blessed to have moments like this to truly detail the greatest moments we were all blessed enough to see.

Thanks for asking the "wrap-up" question. I've wanted to know how those moments happen since I started watching racing. Great job and what a great segment!

Luv Mike's booth work. Solid. 👍

I've been a fan forever... but listening to Mike in the booth is like listening to an uncle telling stories at a picnic... always fun and educational... the man is a treasure

The Vin Scully of racing commentary. One of the all time greats.

Poised. Mike’s the Man! Hell of a mentor!!

Dale all of your podcasts are Amazing and since I've been around racing my whole 65 years on this earth, I've truly enjoyed every podcast but this one is extremely special ❤ because Mike Joy has been around racing forever, LOL, not that long but he truly brings the racing to life and incorporates stories which to me adds to my love of stock car /Nascar racing and I can't thank you enough for keeping the older stories alive, some even being heard perhaps for the first time!! It's PRICELESS AND A TREASURED BLESSING 🙏🤗❤ I enjoy the current stuff too but driver's in the early days of Nascar used every trick in the book to get an edge on fellow driver's (most illegal 🤣) but it was racing at It's best considering some like Junior Johnson was running moonshine before racing 🤣🤣 And some of those stories, you simply can't make up things they would admit to doing 🤣🤣 A lot was kept secret because you didn't want your rivalry to have the same edge as you because they might be a tick faster than you and NO DRIVER EVER WANTED ANYONE ELSE TO WIN EXCEPT THEMSELVES!!! Thanks for another jewel of a podcast!!!

Mike Joy nailed it! Why I don't like watching most sporting events. The announcers never know how to shut the hell up for 10 seconds.

Mike Joy is one of the greats I have gotten to hear in any sport and the knowledge he has and willing to pass on to today's generation is superb. The 1998 Daytona 500 was one of the greatest races ever broadcast, with Joy's "Twenty years of trying, Twenty years of frustration, Dale Earnhardt will come to the caution flag to win the Daytona 500!" and with however many laps to go Buddy Baker saying "lady we feel the same way you do". Mike was close on the laps Dale never led in the 500, he never led laps 96-98 throughout his career.

Dale Jr. doing his Commentary Booth homework... good on you Dale 'n stick on this guy like glue...

I Like MRN Radio Coverage From The 70s 80s And Early 90s Thanks For Uploading

One of the best to ever grab a microphone.

Excellent!

This part of their exchange blew my mind. I had to stop the video because the life advice is just so profound. Dale Jr - "I don't have that ability." Mike Joy - "Yes - you do. But maybe you haven't prepared for it."

Mike Joy retains knowledge, I retain water. Sounds about right. Anyway, 2 or 3 weeks ago I was listening to some USAC races on Floracing, midgets I think, and there were two announcers doing play-by-play with perfect timing, telling us the action, back and forth like a tennis match. First one would talk, then the other, then back again. You could tell when they were done with their part just by the way they'd end the sentence, and by that time the other was ready to jump in. It was fun to listen to.

Mike joys voice is one of the most recognizable voices in broadcast history.

Fantastic podcast Looking forward to Joy and Earnhardt racing together

Dale & Mike both sitting there listening to Mike Joy like little kids soaking it all in. I loved this episode ty Dale & Mike D. For doin this for us & ty Mike Joy for the amazing job you do

Mike clearly is very passionate about his job. His passion really inspires me.

Mike Joy, confirmed my assumption, wat a class act, I cherish his many autographed paraphernalia. My souls delights in the wisdom of Mike Joe.

Love Mike Joy! This guy is a legend

Mike Joy is a national treasure. Dale Jr needs to give himself more credit. He's very good in the booth and he's a great podcast host. He asks thoughtful questions and then he listens and doesn't interrupt his guests.

This is such a beautiful account. Mike Joy's live commentary is pure art. So many great moments

This was such a awesome 9mins listening to Mike talk about his dad winning and how it was a raw moment when he won, and it was for all Sr fans...but this was genuine just watching Jr. sit there listening to legend and a great friend

Great head of hair to go with the big brain on Mr. Joy

Mike joys knowledge and experience is unmatched. He truly is the GOAT

"Giant ass spoilers" and "SLIDE JOB SLIDE JOB" are my favorite Dale broadcast moments

Wonderful interview!

Dale, So Happy you guys finally did this interview with Mike Joy ! I remember him at Stafford and Riverside Park when I was a kid. In my opinion he is voice of NASCAR. Excellent Interview !!!

Mike Joy is a legend and Dale is was absorbing all that..Master Class in session

Mike Joy is a true gift to planet earth. Great episode!

Listening to Mike Joy has always been relaxing to me. I've feel asleep to him talking and woke to his excited voice many of Sundays. And he was a Earnhardt fan just like the rest of us.

Another of my favorite episodes

Mike Joy is a treasure. Great seeing Dale soak this in. So far as HOF announcers like Joy go, Tennessee Vols had one of the best to ever do it in John Ward. Mike Keith who now is Tennessee Titans announcer learned from Ward, and Keith is now already in TN Sports HOF. Would love to see a crossover podcast about their research practices and what they do behind the mic. The greats like Joy and Keith are worth the time to listen no matter if the sport they're announcing is the sport you usually watch, but I have a good reason to believe CFB, NFL, and NASCAR fans crossover a good bit. Keep up the great work Dale.

Not a fan of NASCAR, but Mike Joy on Barrett Jackson is amazing. Few have his knowledge of cars & their history. Must see TV.

Great stuff thank you!

Awsome interview and insight to the booth.

easily my favorite clip that’s been uploaded to this channel. i want to do play by play in nascar one day and this gave me so much insight

That was a cool video because that was a legend talking to a legend !

It's funny they talk about the "Slide job" 'incident', and say that's what made it memorable. Because it's true! It was such an unexpected surprise, that I remember who was involved and at what track. It was Kyle Busch in the 18 vs Kyle Larson in the 42 racing for Chip at the time, and they were battling hard for the win at Chicagoland speedway in 2018. Larson was wanting to put the slide job on Busch, in the corner of 1 and 2 ,but couldn't quite get there. There was a bit of contact a slide prior, prompting Kyle Busch to then punt Larson in turns 3 and 4, with Busch then crossing the line to win the race. If it wasn't for that "Slidejob!" commentary, I wouldn't even think to remember as to when that moment was, or who was battling who.

Thank you for the video.

I love Mike Joy, he has been in the sport longer than most people 🙏 im thankful we still have him, from the pits to the booth

Mike Joy is the voice of Nascar now. I do think without a doubt though that the great Ken Squier was his greatest mentor. Loved listening to those two with Buddy Baker and Neil Bonnet. Mike Joy always had a great supporting cast around him when he was learning the ropes and boy did it ever pay off. I mean Chris Economaki Dick Bergren Barney Hall Eli Gold etc etc. There were so many great broadcasters back in the day. Ken Squier and Ned Jarrett will always be my favorites. Don't sell yourself short Jr. You do a fantastic job and are only going to get better. Keep up the great work.

Mike Joy is my favorite guy in nascar he and Larry Mac their knowledge about racing about nascar is my favorite

Got to love Mike!

TOTALLY AGREE! THAT VOICE IS NASCAR!

Mike Joy truly is a legend and should go into the nascar Hall of Fame. In my humble opinion, Mike joy and ken squier are the voices of nascar.

riverside park speedway had so many greats come from my home track 92-99 ! when mike leaves the air it will be end credits for the park for me .
