      @duffman18 2 года назад +9

      Yeah he saw a lot of himself in Jeff and knew that he'd take the mantle from Dale when Dale retired, to become the new top star of nascar. Sadly Dale never got to retire obviously
      But still, he was right, Jeff Gordon _DID_ become the new star of the sport and was arguably a bigger star than nascar had ever seen before, bigger than Dale and Petty even, even though he wasn't as good a driver as those 2 (he's still in the top 5 ever, for sure, probably even 4th behind only those 2 and Jimmie Johnson). But his crossover appeal with casual fans was extraordinary and led nascar to its most popular period ever.
      And to think, Jeff came from open wheel racing and could have likely ended up in indycar or even F1 and done well in them. But he chose nascar instead. So I think that's why Dale became his mentor. To teach him how to drive a stock car, considering it's so different, not to mention oval racing, and restrictor plate racing, of which there's nothing like them in any other motorsport. And it worked, Jeff learned from Dale, and ended up posting the most dominant season in nascar history. Winning more races in one year than anyone ever has before or since. Hence why many actually argue he's even better than 4th best driver ever.
      But yeah. It's kinda funny, he helped out Jeff like he was his son, but he refused to help his _ACTUAL_ son, Dale Jr. Jr has said that he and his dad never talked about racing except one single solitary time. They had years living and then working together but they never discussed how to drive better, how to tackle a tricky track, how to set up the car better, new driving techniques for him to learn that you only otherwise learn from years of experience doing it etc. He only talked with Dale Jr one time about anything like that. It's really amazing how good Dale Jr became despite that, despite being essentially a complete rookie driver as if he didn't have a race driver dad at all, and yet still became really good. It proves his talent is truly all his own.

    This clip was funny, I loved how Dale said "Jeff's goin' to test the rain" instead of goin to test the track. Many may not know it but that was Dale's sarcasm and humor, he knew the track was wet and he was going to bust his ass. That's why he said "if he's smart he will come to pit road.......nope...he's not too smart" then he did exactly what Dale knew would happen. The Jeff gets out the car all pissed when it was 100% his own fault...the track was wet and drops were hitting his windshield...common sense. I know it was 1995 and Jeff's 3rd full season in Cup.

    Dale was clearly concerned when Gordon did not pull into pit road and stayed out. He wasn't calling him dumb as much as he was concerned as a mentor knowing it was a bad decision. That wasn't meant as an insult, it was meant more out of concern.

    • @skepchica
      @skepchica 6 месяцев назад +1

      He didn't say Jeff's going out to test the car, he said Jeff's going out to test the rain. He was definitely calling him stupid, or at least laughing at him for being a rookie-- but when there was a wreck, there was no crack of a smile, or a "see, I told you", which he had the chance to do. Instead he shifted to concern for him after wrecking. Earnhardt was mischievous, but he was a good man.

My buddy looks at me and says "Jeff Gordon is going to crash riiiiiiight now!" with no expectation of anything actually happening, and sure enough Jeff fenced it. We were hysterical with amazement that my buddy had 'willed' Jeff Gordon to crash, lol. Great time, Earnhardt broke a timing chain in the race, which sucked, but great weekend none the less.

Koko's mom came over to visit Chili, and shows her a photo of her kids. She had a lot of experience with parenting, and Chili was a rookie. During that scene, I said this to myself, "Koko was the wise veteran, and Chili was the young lion." At the end of the episode, where Bluey takes her 1st steps in the kitchen with Chili smiling and crying with joy, I said, "The young lion has became the lion." That's what this video reminds me of.

      titanic flipaclip artist yes that's true. And it's because these new young drivers are basically born into racing and build there careers of their parents money and make it to the top. Like haley deegan there is plenty of young drivers with more talent than her but they will never rise up because they don't have the money to get there. That's what this sport has turned into. A contest of money. That's why I like Kyle Larson. He didn't get in because of a last name or because Nascar seeing him as a tool to get more fans (like Danica Patrick) he got in because he's that damn good. Also look at Earnhardt he worked on his cars got his hands dirty and clawed his way to the top. These new drivers? Some are in a top team cup car before they are in there 20s with long hair and baby soft hands. That's what is killing the sport. And it's the reason why I enjoy the local races more than the big ones on tv

      A face helmet literally does nothing except hold your brains in to keep you from grossing out the passers by. He hit the wall with an impact of falling 6 stories. A Hans device may have saved him-- but he'd have some very serious injuries, as in possibility being paralyzed, brain damage broken neck or back. It was a horrible accident-- bit it's racing I don't know why people have to always blame someone. It's a dangerous sport and unfortunately, some people get killed.
