This makes Dale’s death even sadder, when DW said “oh I hope Dale’s okay..” after the wreck it wasn’t a commenter talking about a driver, it was DW talking about a close friend.
@@default123default2 Yes they were. They became really close in the 90s. Stevie, DW's wife, used to give Dale scripture quotes, which he'd tape to the dash of his car on race day. Dale also gave DW a rocking chair as a retirement present and they had a 1 on 1 interview before the 2001 Daytona 500. You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!
I havent watched a Nascar race in ten years but I could listen to legends and vets from the mid 80s to 2010-ish talk about what the sport used to be all day.
I actually just started watching NASCAR again this year. I can say it hasn't gotten any worse than when I quit watching it but unfortunately it hasn't improved. I think they need to go back to actual off the lot cars modified instead of space-age aerodynamic fiberglass covered race cars they run now
I feel the same way as you do when it comes to NBA. Can’t stand watching now but I could watch guys from the 80s and 90s era sit around and talk for hours
You want a really good one listen to him on the scene vault podcast. He goes reeeeaaaalllly in depth with it and then they got Bill Gardner the Di Gaurd owner ( half) anything DW related is great!
i want to point this out, D.W. is already teary eyed even the mention of Dales name and not in a bad way...thats HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT Earnhardt made and left in this sport. its more than just stories and words spoken...Dale was the competition and the one you had to beat any given sunday...and is missed in this sport - Still. Goodspeed D.W. and i'll be here to listen anytime you want to speak about Dale Earnhardt.
Michael Waltrip also had Pennzoil for a sponsor at one time and then DW drove the #1 Pennzoil. Also, if you go back and look, Dale Jr honored DW with some of his old school paint schemes.
Growing up watching these men race was the best part of Nascar to me. As a kid born in 79 watching the 3 car Dale and 8 car Jr were my 2 favorite. Me and my dad would sit in front of the TV and cheer on. Never got to go to a race to see it live. But it was good enough for me as a kid. Thank you Jr and everyone who contribute to telling us all the great stories of some of the Nascar History.
We need like 5 more episodes with DW. Keep capturing the history of the sport guys. Nobody else is, and the work yall are doing is preserving an era of the sport that some people don't even know existed
Man I have been listening to 99% of the podcast you guys did and not for nothing can't get enough of this one get this guy back man he got stories to kill bring him back soon. Love the podcast you guys doing good job can't Get enough.
LOVE the DW stories, thanks a million! Since Darrell mentioned your Dads' jet here decided to reply. Quick note to Dale Earnhardt Jr., I'm the inspector that did the pre-purchase examination on your Learjet when you traded it in for the Cessna. I had them park it right next to my desk and spent hours sitting on the divan reading the logbooks thru the France family years and your family. Can't tell you in words what a thrill it was sitting in there reading the books. For everyone reading this and listening to these stories, that jet was in immaculate condition, a real testament to the years of professional maintenance and loving care it spent it's life in. Several of us seriously looked at buying it and leaving it just as traded-in and selling charter flights to your many fans. Imagine riding in the Earnhardt jet to a race, could not get any better than that!! Always wondered if anyone in the aviation community approached you about doing that. Anyway, God bless your family and have a safe New Year!!
Everyone says that NASCAR was better in the old days, one DW quote from this interview explains it all! “If you beat me you take bacon off my table” fills you in on the passion and commitment the older guys have. The younger guys don’t have the issue of not being able to eat if you have a bad finish!
I was never a Waltrip fan until he started in TV. He is a real racer that still has the fire. I miss him on Fox! I could listen to his stories forever. BOOGITY, BOOGITY!!! LET'S GO RACIN BOYS!
I was 11 watching the 2001 Daytona 500 at my birthday party as a fan of Mikey. Everytime I see DW I just think of him saying after the wreck “I hope Dale is ok” with tears of joy and sorrow in his eyes
Ironic, cause Dale was the one who approached Mikey and not the other way around (all the way back after his wreck in 1990). Don't know what the older bro would react seeing his #1 rival interacting with his brother, and I never knew that Hornaday was the one with the short end of the stick
I personally could listen to this conversation for days, I love the wayDW brings life to everything he says, what a great interview, thank you jr and crew, and thank you DW for sharing wisdom that was earned not bought.
I always thought Dale was a bully on the track. I was glad when Jeff Gordon came along and started pushing back. It made for the hay day of Nascar until Dale died. What a great rivalry. Love the inside stories.
Earnhardt was a total bully. If he was currently driving, and pulled his crap against today’s drivers, they would have put him into the wall the next race.
@@donjeffries9190get real man, there ain't a driver on today's track that would equal a pimple on Dale Earnhardt's butt On the track or off of it Certainly not you!!!!
@@donjeffries9190 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dream on. Had Busch and Shrub acted like they do with Dale, they'd have had to quit. The modern era drivers will never be what guys like Sale, Darrell, Neil, David Pearson, or Cale were. They could take a tenth place car and win with it. And they could drive rough with the very best. Modern day NASCAR drivers aren't even close. And never will be. The best days of stock car racing are long gone.
Really loved the video of your grandmother speaking about you grandfather and your father..I lost my father shortly after your father passed and I would often think of how you handled your grief and loss...and then...I watched you at Rockingham and so on ..when you got out of that car in Daytona , man I cried for the both of us..god bless young man
My favorite show so far Dale Jr. I have questioned why it has taken so long for Darrell Waltrip to be on the show, but I am so glad that was able to happen. DW is the closest ambassador to Dale Sr in my opinion. DW is a strong connection to the old school days and tells awesome stories as well know. He is as real today as he was back in the day! Great show guys!
I could listen to these stories all day. Hearing about NASCAR history from those who lived it is an honor and a privilege. Thanks for sharing these fascinating stories!
Dale Jr. - love your show man - you're the perfect host for these interviews and I always finish them laughing and with a smile. Keep up the amazing work!!
Jr. is one of the few that if you didn't know him & he walked into a bar you'd have no idea how set he is......one of the most down to earth "celebrities" out there 👍
Loving the DW interview. Can't get enough of the old school drivers and their stories. It would be great to get Cale, Bobby Allison, Harry Gant and as many other old school guys to come in and interview them.
These PRICELESS TREASURED STORIES ARE HISTORICAL AND PURE SOLID GOLD🙏 Jr don't ever stop doing these Priceless Treasured Stories that are TREASURED BLESSINGS AND PRECIOUS MEMORIES 🙏💞🤗💞🙏
These men are NASCAR Legends because they built the sport into what it is today. Man I miss watching their great races. Today just doesn’t have the same energy it used to.
Watching the videos brings back good memories. As an Australian, My last vacation was in 1994 in NC. I was crewing a late model driver ( Chrissey Oliver) for 2 meetings at Hickory Motor Speedway and Tri County Speedway. Met Chrissey when she came to Australia and raced in the USA team in dirt speeway. I worked on my nephews sprintcar. As a big Dale Senior fan, Met Kerry and Kelley when they raced late models. Also spectator at the Coke 600. Great memories.
Every sport needs a prominent figure that has a polarizing love/hate relationship with their fans. Dale was the archetype of that idea without ever taking it into consideration. He just wanted to be in Victory Lane after it was over.
I bet I watch these, and listen to the 2 part DW interview podcast at least once a month. I haven't figured out why until just recently. DW's story telling ability, and intimate knowledge of the history, combined with Jr hearing the stories about his Dad. I just can't get enough. I wish you'd have DW back. That man is a national treasure, and a critical link to the sports history.
Hey Junior... I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. I get so much joy listening to these old stories. Having done a little short track racing back in the day every episode takes me back to similar stories and characters in my own life. These stories are all played out thousands of times over at each of the little short tracks across this county. The names and the places might be different, but the stories always seem to remind me of someone I know or raced against. I just love listening/ watching these. You do such an awesome job at taking us all along for the ride. Thanks again!
Man I miss DW, he'd was my first driver i rooted for in 1987 . The look of disgust on his face when he talks about k mart car. They saved him as well, and put a lot of marketing dollars behind it and him. But he was ready to go prior to his team closing, last race He won was what 1992 ?? Great stories from as great man. Keep this up grab more late 80s and 90s drivers!!
Was never a NASCAR fan, but I was always a DW fan. His interviews were the best part of some races. I learned more about racing by accident listening to him than I ever did on purpose listening to other drivers.
@@joshjarnagin3161 I know that the opinion is that he should be giving back to fans, but as an old man towards the end of his run I’d do the same thing. You want me to make an appearance during the pandemic too? Double it 😂😂😂😂
I will always care and love DW. I never got to see him race in his heyday, but I grew to love him.. and Larry Mac! When DW speaks about anything and starts telling stories, I can see the emotion in his eyes. He’s animated about his stories and I love that quality in people. I’ve never had the chance to met him but I can tell that he is a really good person and most of all he cares about the sport. As a 12 year old boy in 2001, 6 months past my grandfathers death and watching my hero die.. it was easy for me to attach to someone like DW
So Darrell did talk to Dale on camera about the Richmond incident. It was the *Dale Earnhardt & DW interview done February 13th 2001* DW ask Dale “what scares you, or what are you afraid of?” Dale responded with “I’ve never been scared in a race car except for when I saw Tim Richmond coming up the track looking like he was gonna kill me at porcono! And when you and I got into at Richmond, I thought Stevie was gonna kill me!” Dale worded it in such a way he took responsibility for it. Dale wasn’t the type to just come out and say it directly because he was embarrassed he did that I’ve personally got into incidents on the track in my younger days. And it’s extremely embarrassing after the incident. But in a Dale type of way he admitted it was “him that tore the cars up, not Darrell” for some reason Dale was in a very good place and he matured a lot threw the 90s where he started dropping the baggage the last 2yrs of his life.
I was never a fan of DW but both Part 1 & Part 2 were the best interviews. I really had a number of laughs and appreciated the great stories. I'm looking forward to you having DW back again. Keep up the good work on the ole race tracks. Even us west coast Canadians like what you are doing. I'm a history buff as well on ranches here in British Columbia and Alberta.
The beauty and brilliance of a great interview/podcast is the ability to suck folks in and keep their attention, even when they have no clue or like of the subject. Although I loved NASCAR, you just can’t walk away from Jr’s podcasts and interview skills! He very well could be known as a skilled interviewer, as much as his racing career! And NOBODY can say BS that he was living off of his Dads name in this arena!
Man the memories are flooding back Pocono Mountain Speedway I believe it was 1984 1985 and 1986 I want to say it was called the Mountain Dew 500 we were in Infield all three years it was spectacular thank you DW God Rush Dale senior Neil Bonnett and Davey Allison
First time I went to Pocono was in the early 90s, saw Dale Sr. win both days races! Won the Busch race on Saturday! Never will forget those 2 days there, I still have a small notepad that I'd brought with me and took notes of the entire race of where Dale was and what was going on! Dale took it from Jeremy Mayfield in the last turn on the last lap! Went to see him at Bristol a year or two later and he crashed inside the first 50 laps and went back out just for the points, rode around the rest of that day with no fenders or hood on the car! It was all I could do to set there and watch the rest of that race, knowing Dale had no chance of ever winning, yet, I thought if Dale can get back out there and ride just for the points, I've got to stay and see him finish the race too!
I have a in person Dale Sr story I wish I cud share with Jr .Sr had alot of compassion for people.I met him at a dealership and his security would not let me close.but he saw I was curious and called me over and talk to me in the nicest way .I was not a Nascar fan til I met him !
The thing that made dale so popular and a life long favorite and legend was he was so real about everything. He wasn’t there for just a show or to be a fake figure he was always real

This makes Dale’s death even sadder, when DW said “oh I hope Dale’s okay..” after the wreck it wasn’t a commenter talking about a driver, it was DW talking about a close friend.
Bingo. DW was the only one in the booth that understood how hard Earnhardt hit the wall.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched this, it was the most honest, real, and heartfelt moment in network sports, hands down!
They weren't that close. Dale was a nutter
@@default123default2 Yes they were. They became really close in the 90s. Stevie, DW's wife, used to give Dale scripture quotes, which he'd tape to the dash of his car on race day.
Dale also gave DW a rocking chair as a retirement present and they had a 1 on 1 interview before the 2001 Daytona 500. You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!
DW's wife gave Senior bible scruples before races including that race
The light in DW’s eyes as he recounts these stories says it all.
I havent watched a Nascar race in ten years but I could listen to legends and vets from the mid 80s to 2010-ish talk about what the sport used to be all day.
Me too... There is Damn near every race from the 90s on RUclips
yup
I actually just started watching NASCAR again this year. I can say it hasn't gotten any worse than when I quit watching it but unfortunately it hasn't improved. I think they need to go back to actual off the lot cars modified instead of space-age aerodynamic fiberglass covered race cars they run now
@@racejunkie566 Exactly !
I feel the same way as you do when it comes to NBA. Can’t stand watching now but I could watch guys from the 80s and 90s era sit around and talk for hours
Being able to see DW's facial expressions adds something invaluable that the plain audio can never convey. An absolute character.
You want a really good one listen to him on the scene vault podcast. He goes reeeeaaaalllly in depth with it and then they got Bill Gardner the Di Gaurd owner ( half) anything DW related is great!
i can't just listen to the podcast i have to watch it.
I hear ya but tbh Im just too busy to sit and watch the longer in-depth stuff. Got things to do. Gotta git er done!! LOL
RC c y
Check out DW going for a ride in a V8 supercar round Bathurst. Its a blast!!
Love these old Nascar stories. Nascar definitely hit its peak in the 90s.
And pretty much died off in the 2000’s sadly.
Didn't just about all of the good stuff?
Happy Thanksgiving hombre.
As did so many things
Loved this video
@@ThomasWilliams-uq9lo 2010s more so
DW has his moments, but we cant deny this man is a legend.
This man and all the older drivers are what Nascar is lacking today
Its what everything is lacking these days, NFL, UFC, NHL, public schools, even the hood
its the drama between the drivers that made it entertaining
I know when you’re right!!
I agree
It lost its roots... got big, became too much about money, everyone got media trained and it lost the magic it had.
when Darrell got to drive for Dale in 1998 he had a new lease on life and proved he can still drive with the right equipment...
imo DW took better care of the car then Park, i think they should've kept DW in the 1 car

Goodspeed D.W. and i'll be here to listen anytime you want to speak about Dale Earnhardt.
Probably literally calling Dales death has alot to do with that
Junior and DW both had Budweiser and Mt. Dew for sponsors. That’s pretty cool.
I wonder if you could have both as a sponser at the same time, one beverage during dinner one beverage for the rest of the time
Also the 88 number
Bro I totally forgot about that it was ment to be
Both drove for Rick Hendrick and both drove Chevrolets.
Michael Waltrip also had Pennzoil for a sponsor at one time and then DW drove the #1 Pennzoil. Also, if you go back and look, Dale Jr honored DW with some of his old school paint schemes.

5:37 when he goes No Listen is the funniest thing ever. You can tell DW is down to earth and loves talking about the old days. Genuine guy.
Dale earnhardts walking away stories are really funny
We need like 5 more episodes with DW. Keep capturing the history of the sport guys. Nobody else is, and the work yall are doing is preserving an era of the sport that some people don't even know existed
Yes, we need to document all these stories as told by who was there.
indeed.. legends
Stuff like this is great as one day these older legends will all be gone & so many will have never experienced it.....
Absolutely need more DW. He basically watched 3 generations of the sport evolve.
One of my favorite interviews, concerning, Dale Sr. & D.W. Really ties their relationship, together.
Thanks Jr.!🤜🤛

I miss the old nascar , for the ones that wasn’t there! It was bad ass racing and that’s all it is to it , BADASS
Me too. They were enemies when the green flag dropped, but would drink beers together and vacation with each other’s families.
Everyone says that NASCAR was better in the old days, one DW quote from this interview explains it all! “If you beat me you take bacon off my table” fills you in on the passion and commitment the older guys have. The younger guys don’t have the issue of not being able to eat if you have a bad finish!

Couldn't believe Dale dumped Hornady in favor of Michael when the team went to cup

Is he still alive?
@@hunnerd4566 Yes. He doesn’t do many appearances because he expects to be paid to go anywhere
@@joshjarnagin3161 Wow that sucks. He can’t give anything back to the sport they made him rich and famous? That’s really sad!
@@joshjarnagin3161 Seen him about 20 years ago. Can confirm the money thing.
@@joshjarnagin3161 I know that the opinion is that he should be giving back to fans, but as an old man towards the end of his run I’d do the same thing. You want me to make an appearance during the pandemic too? Double it 😂😂😂😂
Dw was great on this ! One of the best ones yet.
I will always care and love DW. I never got to see him race in his heyday, but I grew to love him.. and Larry Mac! When DW speaks about anything and starts telling stories, I can see the emotion in his eyes. He’s animated about his stories and I love that quality in people. I’ve never had the chance to met him but I can tell that he is a really good person and most of all he cares about the sport. As a 12 year old boy in 2001, 6 months past my grandfathers death and watching my hero die.. it was easy for me to attach to someone like DW
Absolutely love DW
I could listen to DW tell his stories for hours
So Darrell did talk to Dale on camera about the Richmond incident. It was the *Dale Earnhardt & DW interview done February 13th 2001* DW ask Dale “what scares you, or what are you afraid of?” Dale responded with “I’ve never been scared in a race car except for when I saw Tim Richmond coming up the track looking like he was gonna kill me at porcono! And when you and I got into at Richmond, I thought Stevie was gonna kill me!” Dale worded it in such a way he took responsibility for it. Dale wasn’t the type to just come out and say it directly because he was embarrassed he did that I’ve personally got into incidents on the track in my younger days. And it’s extremely embarrassing after the incident. But in a Dale type of way he admitted it was “him that tore the cars up, not Darrell” for some reason Dale was in a very good place and he matured a lot threw the 90s where he started dropping the baggage the last 2yrs of his life.
I was never a fan of DW but both Part 1 & Part 2 were the best interviews. I really had a number of laughs and appreciated the great stories. I'm looking forward to you having DW back again. Keep up the good work on the ole race tracks. Even us west coast Canadians like what you are doing. I'm a history buff as well on ranches here in British Columbia and Alberta.
The beauty and brilliance of a great interview/podcast is the ability to suck folks in and keep their attention, even when they have no clue or like of the subject. Although I loved NASCAR, you just can’t walk away from Jr’s podcasts and interview skills! He very well could be known as a skilled interviewer, as much as his racing career! And NOBODY can say BS that he was living off of his Dads name in this arena!
Thank you Dale Jr. for your channel.
Man the memories are flooding back Pocono Mountain Speedway I believe it was 1984 1985 and 1986 I want to say it was called the Mountain Dew 500 we were in Infield all three years it was spectacular thank you DW God Rush Dale senior Neil Bonnett and Davey Allison
First time I went to Pocono was in the early 90s, saw Dale Sr. win both days races! Won the Busch race on Saturday! Never will forget those 2 days there, I still have a small notepad that I'd brought with me and took notes of the entire race of where Dale was and what was going on! Dale took it from Jeremy Mayfield in the last turn on the last lap! Went to see him at Bristol a year or two later and he crashed inside the first 50 laps and went back out just for the points, rode around the rest of that day with no fenders or hood on the car! It was all I could do to set there and watch the rest of that race, knowing Dale had no chance of ever winning, yet, I thought if Dale can get back out there and ride just for the points, I've got to stay and see him finish the race too!
love the both of you drivers - both my 2 all-time favorites right here - DW and Dale Jr. what a fabulous episode.
I love all these stories. Jr is doing alright with these Podcast.
I loved sr, I loved Jeff. They were both awesome drivers. I loved watching it.
I have a in person Dale Sr story I wish I cud share with Jr .Sr had alot of compassion for people.I met him at a dealership and his security would not let me close.but he saw I was curious and called me over and talk to me in the nicest way .I was not a Nascar fan til I met him !
True friendship right there
Dale Sr. Was a savage and that's why I love him and always will
I love DW! He's got the best personality and spirit you could have in racing!!!
This is Priceless. Nothin' but Love.
Poor Darrell..he looked like he was about to cry..
He's an emotional guy. Part of his great character.
The thing that made dale so popular and a life long favorite and legend was he was so real about everything. He wasn’t there for just a show or to be a fake figure he was always real
these were so cool. DW was tuff as pig iron in his day...he was a pleasure to watch race then and to watch now.. great stories
One of your best videos ! DW keeps me wanting more of his stories👍🏼
