dale Jr..... your content is amazing..... i am a guy that was born in the 60' raised in the 70' 80's Was never a nascar fan but my grandfather always had it on... in the old days i could name all the drivers... grew up and never watched except for you and jeff gordon....... your podcast reminds me of the old days and i appreciate it... keep up the good work and keep getting the old timers on video for history..... so many people don't know in these days
@@edshoprag5738 yep. If you had a couple match box cars, maybe a bicycle,and a few friends you had a blast. Hell we made wooden boats out of 2x4's with a string and yanked them down the creek.
I was born in the mid 80s and loved sitting with my grandfather and watching the races. I would fall asleep during the race but my grandfather would always make sure he woke me up to watch the last 10 laps. Great memories
@Dooguy I remember making paper boats and racing them in the gutters while it was raining. Recently, I showed a couple of kids out playing in the rain and grabbed a couple of sticks, and showed them it. They loved it. I'm in my 60s now. Life is good when there's racing in it!
Yes!!!! Same! But I am an 80’s baby and feel like I grew up with Dale Jr! Love, love, love hearing Dale Sr stories and my hometown, Kannapolis North Carolina! 🫶
The best part is I love you at the end.It’s genuine. Always tell your loved ones that you love them after every time you talk to them. It might be the last time to say it. Thanks Dale
There’s nothing better than hearing about/knowing men of good character. They have a solid internal compass, and are not afraid to step back when things don’t smell/feel right. I love this interview!
How I wish Dale was here...I love these stories...I jus imagine how Dale Sr. would be right now..What he would be doing...Keep doing what you do Dale Jr. your dad would be so proud...
I can see why your Daddy liked Donnie so much, that dude is way cool, hell I’m 65 and I’d love to hang out with him just to hear about life, good livin and Dale Sr. He’s got that classic American look old school look about him, that was a great interview Jr. thanks for having him on! 🇺🇸
The ones that want to protect and keep your Dad's stories close and personal without someone twisting them around looking to make money off them. That is the greatest best friend to ever have! Dale Sr was very blessed to had Donnie in his life as Donnie was blessed to have Dale Sr in his. Much respect to you Jr, the introduction to Mr. Rives was touching. Your Pops meant the world to millions of fans and also to a long haired kid on the west coast that begged my folks for wrangler jeans because it was on his car. ☮✝
Donnie was an incredibly loyal friend to Dale Sr. Thank you for sharing your personal stories about Dale Earnhardt. He was bigger than life for his fans. Watching the story, it gave Dale Jr some missing pieces in his life, and has us all wishing we had more time with our father's! Donnie Reeves God Bless You
I miss Dale every day and think about him often and didn't even know him personally, but i felt like i did growing up.Thanks for Sharing Donnie and condolences to u and your family
Dale. I want to thank you for having Mr Rives in . Was so Amazing to hear about his experiences with your Granddad and also with your dad. I’m so glad that he felt comfortable enough with you to open up and share with you and us. And when he spoke of how he handled when we lost your dad was enlightening. Again I want to thank you Jr for all that you do I love your Dirty Mo program. Hearing from and getting to see some of those who have been apart of NASCAR History. I look forward to every episode of your show. You take care and God bless you bud.
Thank you Dale and especially Donnie. Dale's passing left a huge hole in me and all of these breadcrumbs you bring us helps fill them in some. Never met your Dad but saw the raw talent he had many times. Then there was the other Dale most of didn’t get to see, felt it was there but you, the family and some of his friends give us a peek behind the curtain. Donnie’s a great man helping with that. Now Kelly, been in LOVE with than woman for ever - her perspective has been extremely valuable too. The Earnhardt family and friends are the true story of America and what’s possible, not just a story but a journey. Thanks again.
Wow, what a blessing to hear a man like that share his wisdom. Thank you for showing great respect and how friends treat each other in being a true friend.
Great interview. I'm 43 and when I was a kid I went to metrolina ,concord, and Charlotte those were good times for me .these stories take you back to an amazing times for the beginning of a legend and great friendships. I'm a Nascar fan of the past and these interviews make me feel like hearing close friends or family stories.
This was great. My grandfather was a huge Dale fan and I remember sitting and watching with him. He was the silent type until about 20 laps or so left. My grandfather passed away when I was 15 and Dale passed away a few years after. Not a lot of “celebrities” get to me when they go but that one did. It was like an end to an era.
Thank you! As someone who’s father wasn’t around much, I feel so many deep emotions around the stories of you and your dad. I’m not even a NASCAR guy. But I was a little kid in the 90’s and we loved your Dad! He was bigger than the sport itself! Much love to you, your family and the culture around NASCAR 💜
It's not easy losing your best friend. My best friend of 40 plus years passed away about 4 years ago and I have to admit, it was hard as hell. I lost my dad about 8 years after that. I definitely know how both y'all feel. Much love. Dale Sr. was my driver. That was a hard day. Proud of all of y'all.
This was so good to listen to my husband was and still is a Earnhardt fan he always said that Dale sr was the best driver in the history of nascar he was a man’s man tuff as nails but he had a heart of gold he cared for the less fortunate and never ever forget where he came from and Dale and Kelly you all are amazing people you both are keeping your dad’s legacy alive ❤love you guys and always remember that your dad loved all of his children god bless you all
I have greatly enjoyed so many of the Dale Earnhardt senior historical stories. I was Dale's PR rep through the Wrangler brand in 1986 and 1987. Two championship seasons. I have some similar stories to tell. Dale and the way he would control how much he would allow one day to the next. But I am glad to have been part of those wonderful championship seasons. One day I set up a PR piece with a Charlotte TV affiliate at his house on Lake Norman. Dale Jr was there maybe 10 years old. When Dale wanted to do the media work he was the best. When he didn't, it was pure hell.
I always enjoy hearing stories about Dale and learning about the person he was, not just the driver. A lot of respect to you Jr for being the story teller and keeping your father's legacy alive and sharing your family's history with us all. Thanks
Man, I’ve been a fan of your dad since I was a kid, and of you too from the beginning. I’m trying to find the words to express my admiration, for working through such an amazing, and difficult conversation with Mr Donnie. I pray it was a healing experience for you and anyone else who was watching. Simply your best podcast ever.
Dale Jr Thank U for twisting Donnie's arm to come and sit with you for awhile and letting US All know more about your Grandpa n your Dad I followed your Dad for many years,and you for a little bit, I truly appreciate you n enjoy your podcast, listening to them as I embroidery n quilting for others, I pray that all of you continue Sharing n Shining your Light for us all. Wishing each of you a Wonderful Merry Christmas and a Great 2025.🇺🇸♥️✝️😎🌴✝️🇺🇸
My dad told me years ago that most of us can count our true friends on one hand. Those brothers or sisters from another mother are few and far between. This interview kind of brings that to the forefront. I enjoyed this episode. Dale you bring that little something extra to the racing world. We the fans appreciate you.
For me this is the best parts of youtube these stories told seeing these to some heros andnwatching them as themselfs and hearing these amazing stories its awsome
Thank you for all that you share with us in regards to your dad. He was such an amazing figure all of us growing up and you really show us a whole Nother side. Thanks for everything Dale.
Jr…I respect and admire how you have handled your life as challenging as it has been in many forms we would never know. It is real life no matter the situations we as individuals face. You seem to have remained true to yourself and should be an inspiration to all. Thanks for sharing your stories and laying close things to your heart for all us to hear
This was great Jr. Thank you for somehow talking Donnie into coming on to the show. I can see why your Dad held him in the highest respect. Great Character Donnie reeves
Well, there you go again. Another amazing interview You didn't have to know your dad personally to understand he was one of a kind but it sure was good to know that one of his best friends explained his views on that. Thank Dale for these trip through the past.
I absolutely loved this interview with Donnie! I’ll bet it would have been a blast to hang out with those guys in the 70’s & 80’s! Hopefully you can have him back on again.
Thank you Donnie for not only sitting down with Jr, but all you’ve done for the sport of racing! Above all thank you for being Dale’s best friend. A man doesn’t become who he is without a best friend! God bless you Donnie and your family!
If BIG E had a person in his life exactly as Dale Jr. described him ...... This man absolutlely fits the profile !!! i can easily see there would be a strong connection betweem Donnie & The Intimidator , they are very much alike !!! ( Same age as well ) . It s so great that he choose to come on the show and talk to Dale , Bless this man !!!!! 😊😊😊
The best interview I have ever listened to. Thank you Donnie! I love his honesty on everything and for explaining Teresa, your dad was a sharp judge of character, I have a new respect for Teresa she stood by her guns and did what she thought Dale would have wanted. Keep doing what you do little Dale! Thank you again.
Wow, what a fantastic episode! Thanks for sharing this Dale Jr. Hearing Donnie's stories about Dale Sr. was incredible. Especially loved the parts about Ralph. You could really feel the deep friendship between Donnie and Dale Sr. The whole conversation between Dale Jr. and Donnie was heartfelt and emotional. A must-watch for any Dale Earnhardt fan!
Thank you both for sharing amazing stories about an amazing man. You're both truly blessed to be able to share that time together. Thank you for myself and all of us.
Love the show so much. As a fan your show helps keep the past alive. Your comment after your dad's passing helped me through my grief. A fan or racing since the early 70's.
What a great conversation and episode. The stories are unreal and so raw because it is authentic heartfelt. I was 17 when i lost my best friend and still think about him almost every day! It was 36 years ago Monday.
Great interview, I love hearing these older guys tell there stories of faith and friendships. He and Hank both portray the goodness of the Lord. It’s good to know Dale had such Great men around him.
Thanks for making me smile and cry today a super interview! I lost my dad who was my hockey coach fishing and hunting buddy just over 3 years ago and this brought back some great memories and I thank Dale Jr. and Donnie so much. Brian from Colorado 🤠🏁
Reese thanx so much for sharing your stories. It reminds me of when I was a boy riding around to different garages with my dad to get parts or help out on their cars, great memories and that’s what keep them alive in our hearts.
I love this stuff. Getting older people to tell their stories is amazing. Doesn't matter the person or their background, as long as it's honest, it's humanity at it's greatest
Still to this day. Even after all these years. Jr still gets so giddy and visibly happy when he gets to do things with his dads friends and learn more still. And its always going to be just a treasure to see.
Dale jr I know how much drive your Daddy put in you and i truly thank you for continuing your career after such a tragic loss you are definitely a class act Thank you.
Mr Rives is a class act! Thanks for having him on and thanks to him for feeling comfortable sharing some of his experiences. Great program thanks to you both!!
I finally got a chance to watch this and I’m so glad I did! I think Dale Jr. has turned into an outstanding interviewer but more importantly he just a fine human being and its shows in all his walks in life. I was race fan when he was racing. Now I’m a super fan for what he brings out of the sport of racing and the realities of life. He might be junior but he’s a Giant among men in my opinion.
As "fan" of Nascar my lifetime from 1968 till now ,i was 6 when i got to watch Tiny Lund on Dirt in jax,fla it was the most exciting moment bc my Dad,Mom,and ALL of their freinds where cheering for this driver,not their Saturday night always driver,Eldon Yarhbourgh,wayne shuggart,david ezzelle,etc ,i knew then he was special,he was Nascar Proffessional,Daytona,Darlington,so on,then Richard Petty set me on fire,lived racing,i bought hotrods,worked on my own cars,then Dale Earnhart came along & changed Everything,he was a True Driver in the sense of " not wanting to be the 1st loser,,long live his memory❤❤❤❤
I sincerely enjoyed this download. I also sincerely hope you connect closely to this guy and learn more about your dad through him. He has priceless stories that will fill the blanks for you and enrich your family history. They, in turn, will enable you to give us a better glimpse into the life of your pop.
Choked me up as all interviews with Big E's friends do. And I pray for a reunion with my own dad when my time comes. Love, friendship, and lovalty -Donnie is a gem. ❤✌🌮
This is a good man with high moral standards that he doesn't waiver on. You know he didn't tell much. Most of it is a different version of stories we already know. For personal reasons and respect for the friendship with Dale he won't talk about. He could probably make a ton of money but he's one of those rare people that believe some things are better than wealth.

Donnie reminds me of several very special men that have helped me in my life, in racing and in living. Thanks for bringing this honorable man to us.
My dad told me years ago that most of us can count our true friends on one hand. Those brothers or sisters from another mother are few and far between. This interview kind of brings that to the forefront. I enjoyed this episode. Dale you bring that little something extra to the racing world. We the fans appreciate you.
Still love all the stories. Dale jr was my son’s first favorite driver. Built many of the buds model cars. Keep it up jr. Still our favorite driver!

Only few min in and awesome video, luv hearing about dads past & his close friends and family.
This episode was incredible! Right up there with the Kerry, Mamaw and Aunt Kathy episodes! Thank you, Jr.

This conversation does my heart well
Great piece here Jr , I can listen to stories like this for 8 hours straight , thanks brother
Still to this day. Even after all these years. Jr still gets so giddy and visibly happy when he gets to do things with his dads friends and learn more still. And its always going to be just a treasure to see.
That’s a pretty good old boy there! I can see how him and Dale got along so good!

I was in my own 2 wheel adventure while Sr/Jr we’re tearing up the pavement, so glad to relive a lot of the racing history , great job Man
As "fan" of Nascar my lifetime from 1968 till now ,i was 6 when i got to watch Tiny Lund on Dirt in jax,fla it was the most exciting moment bc my Dad,Mom,and ALL of their freinds where cheering for this driver,not their Saturday night always driver,Eldon Yarhbourgh,wayne shuggart,david ezzelle,etc ,i knew then he was special,he was Nascar Proffessional,Daytona,Darlington,so on,then Richard Petty set me on fire,lived racing,i bought hotrods,worked on my own cars,then Dale Earnhart came along & changed
Everything,he was a True Driver in the sense of " not wanting to be the 1st loser,,long live his memory❤❤❤❤
I sincerely enjoyed this download. I also sincerely hope you connect closely to this guy and learn more about your dad through him. He has priceless stories that will fill the blanks for you and enrich your family history. They, in turn, will enable you to give us a better glimpse into the life of your pop.
Choked me up as all interviews with Big E's friends do. And I pray for a reunion with my own dad when my time comes. Love, friendship, and lovalty -Donnie is a gem. ❤✌🌮
This is a good man with high moral standards that he doesn't waiver on. You know he didn't tell much. Most of it is a different version of stories we already know. For personal reasons and respect for the friendship with Dale he won't talk about. He could probably make a ton of money but he's one of those rare people that believe some things are better than wealth.
