Exactly. March 2013 in Martinsville I was in the pits before the race and Jr was on the passenger side of his car leaning on the wall between pits and the race track. I swear we caught eyes but because I thought - heard - assumed - he was TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE meeting new folks at the racetrack, I didn't approach him. And in this busy front pit road I wasn't the only one It seemed to me that it was simultaneously to when I learned he meant the girl, the lady he would ask to be his wife, he became more approachable. Just me❓ ✌️🇺🇲🗳️
I really love Dale Jr Download and although he wasn't my favorite driver (well at times I almost didn't like him, gotta admit) I love him now. He's great at this but I still think sometimes he talks too much, I mean he starts asking a question, changes the course multiple times, starts something else and finally asks a question and it takes him too long to do so
Ross is so needed in the sport as much as Jr , when I realized this show was happening, I couldn’t believe it , made my night thanks Man 🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸,Still praying for the families and animals in the Mountains 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great interview, Dale! Ross is my and my daughter's favorite driver. We met him at the Roval and he was incredible to us. You have 2 fans for life, Ross. We look forward to what the future holds for Trackhouse. Great job, Jr. I look forward to all of the Dirty Mo content every week.
Ross is my favorite driver and now hearing him talk about being a mentor type figure in my favorite young drives life Hocevar is the reason I continue to love and support NASCAR. Sundays with F1 in the morning and the NASCAR race after lunch are great Sundays! Keep doing you Ross and Dale Jr Thank You for this podcast! Look forward every week for this to be uploaded!
Let's go, Watermelon! Took years after Jr retired to find a driver I wanted to root for. In 2020, Ross became that driver. His aggression was the key. Nice guy in an interview, and a ruthless demon in the seat. Kick ass, boys!
Ross reminds me of Ernie Irvin. Their career paths are very similar. Without that michigan accident he has at least one title and probable 15 more wins
@@DaveReece-u4b even Earnhardt admitted if Ernie hadn't of crashed in Michigan and was out the rest of the season, he may not have won the championship that year since Ernie was leading the points.
I love how Dale ask’s the same question for 5 minutes, and then answers the question for the guests and then will ask them if he answered that correctly. lol
@@ColbyArmstrong-u4o Dale is hilarious! But I love it because it is so real. He hasn't scripted every second of the interview. Jr and Joe Rogan, best interviewers out there.
Chastain has been my favorite driver before he got famous for his shenanigans. He such an easy guy to root for and extremely talented. I met him at NHMS this June and hes such an awesome guy.
Same. Basically as soon as trackhouse became a thing i was a fan. Started out watching Suarez. Now im a fan of both. Actually all three SVG too. Im trackhouse guy. But Ross is #1
As a 60 year fan of all types of racing, Ross has become my favorite Nascar driver. Besides the fact that he looks like an identical twin of my East Cape, Baja fishing friend!
7:15 Here's the thing. The greatest racers of all time understand something. You always remember what it's like to miss a car payment. To miss the light bill, or to have your house in danger of foreclosure. Whatever it is. You remember those struggles it took to get you into a comfortable position now. You appreciate that comfortable position but never EVER forget the fire and drive it took to get through the struggles. If you drive every race like the light bill depends on it, you get Dale's father. And that man did pretty damn well for himself if you ask me...
This is such a good point, there are a few outliers I feel like, but all of the older generation of greatest drivers had to fight as hard as they could every week because it was they’re only income.
Ross’ family owns a farming company with hundreds of employees. They’re a huge company. Not some small town family farm. He was never going to miss a car payment. Stop it.
@@ScottXC91 You really don't get it. Did he have a safety net? Absolutely. In Farming. Is that what he wanted to do while he was a young man for a living? NO. He wanted to go racing. Guess what. Dale had a safety net too. It was called Fieldcrest Cannon cotton mill. And he did NOT want to be a mill worker the rest of his life. Did Ross's dad help him go racing? You bet. So did Ralph with Dale until the day Ralph passed away. Ross's dad might've kept the lights on for him a few times, but trust me. Ross remembers that pit in his gut because he knew he had to ask for that help. And that's the feeling I'm talking about. That dejection, embarrassment and that feeling of "I never wanna have to do that again."
Yeah, he just went through wives like Budweisers, shipped his kids off to military school so he could play race car driver without them getting in the way, yada yada yada, what a hero.
To be honest, I've always rooted against Chastain in the Cup Series mostly because I'm of the mind that they should be able to compete without wrecking others around them. After this chat, its fair to say I will definitely be pulling for him more. You REALLY get to know someone so much more in this casual chat format vs an 'interview.' I also didn't know that Spire had such deep Texas roots...as a proud Texan, I'm now obligated to add myself to their fan ranks...damnit
Ross is such a good guy. I recall visiting his trailer when he drove for Johnny Davis in the Flex Seal car. He always tried to get the most out of very little. He has taken what is now considered to be an "unconventional" career path. He didn't just show up with big sponsors and a big check. He EARNED every step he took. He earned better rides with his skills. He earned bigger sponsors with his skills. Whatever Ross does, he just needs to keep being Ross.
Very cool......been following Ross Chastain since the Johnny Davis Racing days.......great background information and a bunch more as always! THANK YOU!
Great episode!! Cool conversation and i enjoyed learning a lot of things that a Cup driver does behind the scenes on s daily basis. I always appreciate how Ross will drive for lower funded teams in Xfinity or Truck and he usually gets their best result of the year when he's in those cars. Also sounds like Kayden Honeycutt was in serious talks with JRM about driving a car them which i didn't know
In New Mexico, we call him "El Hombre Sandia". I feel like Ross would be my late Dad's favorite driver, so he's mine. Plus, he has "the clip" which is unmatched in Nascar video history. He's so great on so many levels.
Love, love, love Ross! Smart, aggressive and so refreshing needed for NASCAR… thinks outside the NASCAR box like Road races and Martinsville. Of course that blue collar boy is just the Cherry on top! And we follow his AG shows because we are small farmers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
28:54 I love listening to Dale and others try to pronounce Kubota. I was listening to this episode at work on Wednesday, while working on Kubota tractors, and I laughed so hard listening to Dale try to say Kubota.
Chastain brought me back to watching nascar and getting fired up again. For a little while he was the intimidator again and I loved it especially when he didn’t care what whiny veteran he roughed up. I miss that Ross. I’m back to watching maybe 1 race a month.
@@DerrickRG He has the money, he's just cheap as hell. Remember the episode where he was crying about a houseboat while his listeners were probably getting laid off or furloughed left and right?
Jr. You were born the same day that my father passed away in October 10th 1974, my father was 50 years old, I started watching nascar in 1975, and when I started seeing your dad racing, I started to follow him and I been a fan for your father and I cried when he was killed in that accident in 2001, I quit smoking cigarettes in 2001 February 17th and the next day your father died at the end of the Daytona 500 race!! Rest in Peace Dale Earnhardt Sr. 🏁🦌🎣🇺🇸🍻
Ross, stop letting others neuter you. Keep doing what got you there. I’d leave Trackhouse after Justin didn’t have your back last year. Be yourself and sponsors will follow. You’re the only guy in this modern era I can somewhat relate to, don’t let these pansies change you.
I disagree 100% that having cup drivers and teams keeping ground roots race alive. The problem is a guy like me with a LMSC in the shop can’t afford racing against $200k race cars. The Va Racer series is the best division going right now.
I don’t think you understand what he was talking about. He’s saying that having big name cup drivers having late model team will bring more eyes to the grass roots series.
also i used to think ross was and raced like a bit of a knob, but now i miss it and realise i really actually enjoyed it. hope some of that comes back. reminds me of marquez in motogp, brings excitement
As a 75 year old lifetime race fan I watched a lot of racing. Back in the day Dales father was Ross Chastain before Ross Chastain. Dale Senior was not my favorite driver because of his disregard for the other drivers on the track, So I hope everybody is aware of that and remember that.
Ross is my favorite driver i got out of it a few years. After gordon retired. Hail mellon like everyone got my attention. then when he smacked Noah i was like ok this aint no snowflake millennial company spokesman. This is flordia man incarnate behind the wheel😂 im in
NASCAR is attempting to put an IMSA product on Oval....it doesn't work. That is why Road Courses are more exciting and why Mustang is dominating IMSA in the races I have watched. Camaro's don't seem to be able to work in IMSA, however, Corvette's are magic. HMS needs to switch to the new Corvette Body...sarcasm. But, there is a sweet spot for each manufacturer and with only a short practice period, they are not likely to find it. Some will stumble onto it in the race, but, Goodyear is the wrong tire company for this car and I don't care what NASCAR says. IMSA has the correct tire which is meant for cars with a diffuser. IMSA Ford and Chevy need to come to Phoenix with their tire to show NASCAR what could happen. I say let the Teams decide what tire manufacturer they will use based on testing, period. Dale, I thank you for showing us a different side of Ross Chastain. I have a newer appreciation for him.
Like your interviews BUT, you talk 75% of the time and we hear from the guest 25% of time. We finally get a candid interview with someone in the sport but don't get to hear from that person much. Look at others that interview people. I want to hear more from the guest and their story than you.
Dale, what's gonna happen when they quit gasoline-powered vehicles? NASCAR is already sliding, what in the world are we going to do without the roar of the engines?!

Man, can you imagine thinking to yourself in 2008 that one day Junior would be an absolutely excellent interviewer?
Absolutely not! But only because of his social anxiety. I have it a good bit also. Frickin awesome to see him do such a great job at interviewing. 😊❤
😂😂
He's so easy to talk to and he has a real empathy towards his guests.
Exactly.

How cool is this. My former favorite driver interviewing my current favorite driver. ✊🏾✌🏾
👍😊good stuff for sure! Ross has really grown on me. Same with Hamlin since his podcast. We get to see a more real.and personal side
@AR_420 Yeah. I actually really like that Denny is outspoken and opinionated. I still root against him on Sunday but I like his podcast.
Same!
I grew up a Gordon fan, watching Rick take him under his wing. It's great seeing my next favorite diver go through the same process with his owner

Just a perfect interview again. Ross is an instant like. Thanks for being so diligent to get him back.
what a great interview! Chastain brought me back to Nascar. Hes the real deal. Hope you bring on Jeff and David and more on MMI. Thanks Dale.
Ross reminds me of Ernie Irvin. Their career paths are very similar. Without that michigan accident he has at least one title and probable 15 more wins
I was a big Ernie Irvan fan and I now follow Ross cause he does remind me of Ernie a lot.
Ernie was too inconsistent to win a championship.
@@DaveReece-u4b he was leading the points and that 28 was the best car before that crash

I agree with you. I haven't wanted to like him from stuff a few years ago but this changes my perspective. Justin Marks is also super interesting.
Fantastic episode. Ross needs to visit with Dale more often.
Great show. Showing support with the Butterbean shirt. 🏆

Man, I don't watch or listen to Podcasts but yours is an exception and this one is a favorite.
Great talk. Listened to every word and loved it all. Don't ever give up this show if you end up getting older. Ha Ha ♥
Been waiting for this interview👀🍿🍻🍉 Florida is proud of you Ross Chastain!!!
Dale struggling to say “Kabota” still pales to Ward Burton saying “Cat skid steer loader.” :D
Great interview! For me, it shed a whole new light on Ross. Now, go rest your voice Dale 😊
I’ve been waiting for this interview. Great to get to know more about Ross my favorite. 🤙🏻
Finally a Ross interview!! What a great interview, thank you Dale!! 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Man I already know this is gonna be a banger of a video
Very cool......been following Ross Chastain since the Johnny Davis Racing days.......great background information and a bunch more as always! THANK YOU!

Ross is awesome
Great job guys
jr you need to start a cup team you have sent so much talent to cup already now is time for you to keep some of this talent.
Someone's clearly not paying attention. He can't do that without one of those stupid charters. It's too expensive.
@@DerrickRG He has the money, he's just cheap as hell. Remember the episode where he was crying about a houseboat while his listeners were probably getting laid off or furloughed left and right?
@@djmohab2
Yeah but he also knows that sponsors will line up to wait on the chance to have their name on his cars IF in cup.
@alfee9411 which makes it even worse because he can easily do it with no risk to his fortune
We need more like ross and carson
We love you too Jimmy ❤

I think that Dale is a Ross fan because he is the closest driver to what his daddy was, Tough, Talented, aggressive, and Smart !!!
Awesome Dale
1:08:03 Easy buddy! My mom grew up on a dairy farm 😂
Yeah, he went for it until the Hendrick phone call !!!
15:27 "slammed" 😎
Common thread between Hocevar and Ross is Johnny Davis...
So Ross definitely plays the latest Farm Simulator when he gets the chance
A man of culture

@ then only the big money can only afford to run.
So Lugano is the reason for Chastains driving… Hell of a role model.
Butterbean shirt!!!!!
i'd like to hear the difference between iracing and manufacturers sims. like how much different do they feel and whatnot
also i used to think ross was and raced like a bit of a knob, but now i miss it and realise i really actually enjoyed it. hope some of that comes back. reminds me of marquez in motogp, brings excitement

Ross should buy the Earnhardt farm that Teresa just put up for sale and hire people to farm it.
When Ross shaves, he looks like an Indy driver.
Ross is Very Measured in All His responses. If He raced Like that He would have a few more Wins....
damnit dale you forgot to askr oss about the hail melon and wtf went through head doing it lol
He looks so young with no beard.
28:50 💀kabooter
I have an original life size bud stand up of you..I am coming to florence for the race..would love to get it signed and get a pic
What is in the water bottles, LMNT..?
😊😊
Tires are being measured lol
Why. They're running radials. Stagger. Isn't an issue anymore
I don't like the fact money takes the place off talent
Uhhh 18 + 18 = 36 🤣🤣🤣🤣

TRUMP NEEDS TO MAKE NASCAR GREAT AGAIN
Harvick knows how to fight...lmao, except when it comes to Nascars most popular driver intentionally wrecking him!!!
I really like Ross but I hate this new car. Idk why they changed so many things on the car.
Instead of the heavy Goggles⁉️
Too bad a helmet that replaces the three computer screens hasn't been developed.
Or has it❓
Dale, what's gonna happen when they quit gasoline-powered vehicles? NASCAR is already sliding, what in the world are we going to do without the roar of the engines?!
Big speakers going "vroom vroom"
he the only damn one put the hands on if he got get out thid mofo… not even jamie stewart
And got caught cheating for Hendric every one involved needs a one year suspension from nascar
As he quits wrecking them all ? yes
hosan wrecks themaall to get to where he is ??
Pause... the government can come after you for having rent too cheap?
I love your guest but give them a chance to answer. You ask a question then continue to ramble on without giving the guest a chance to answer.
Great show!!
