I agree he should be left alone and enjoy his first cup win. However he unfortunately has to be the poster boy for change. This gimmick cannot continue . Any sport top X teams in season make playoffs not the team that scored most goals, had most homeruns. Nascar with their horrible ruling calling, caution calling and gimmick playoffs is making it border line unwatchable
@@Lowlife-jc8us It is not about who is best. Let the points accumulate to has most points at end...that is who is best. It was exciting then. Now, a driver that is not a top tier driver can end up being champion and simply isn't fair.
Like I said for years, anyone, I mean anyone can win at Daytona and Talledega. The best car and driver rarely win their do to other people accidents. Another thing win and your in needs to go, now this kid who was 34th in points is in the playoffs. What a joke! But good for him.
Too bad NASCAR insists on a garbage format where the last place guy in points can get a big day club push to a win on a plate track is considered playoff worthy.
It's not that he won. It's that a 35th placed team is now a championship contender. Same would have been true with Austin Dillon. The chase/ playoffs are a joke
Harrison’s win was great!!! Had chills watching it!! Hadn’t had that feeling watching a race since watching you win JR!!! Love the podcast listen to em every week!! Keep up the great work!!
#1...100th win for the Wood Brothers. #2... 1st win for a GOOD GUY. #3 and most important, Nobody can say they they didnt feel the same way as they did when Martin Truex won his 1st. A Great day for NASCAR all around.
I think everyone should be so happy for young Harrison Burton and his 1st race. There's so much emphasis on the drivers that everyone thinks should have won just because they have been regularly seasoned with wins, in playoffs, etc. He has done something great, let him enjoy his 1st cup race. It's not his fault for all the accidents that happened, so he had an opportunity to win. Integrity???? why, because he was the last driver for the season, like Jr said there were other drivers that found their way from the back, win, get in playoffs and it is what it is. Plus millions of dollars were made & Wood Brothers reap that!! Thanks Harrison Burton for being such a great young man, humble,, crying the victory lap, your proudness of giving Wood Brothers their 100th win. YOU WILL BE NEEDED AS A DRIVER FOR A SMART, CARING TEAM.
Leigh Diffey’s comentating reminds me of David Hobbs from the 80’s broadcast. Really enjoy the tone of the tone of both commentators. This was a great move for NBC!
The biggest winner of Burton’s win is absolutely without a doubt Josh Berry. Next year the Wood Brothers will have a funding boost on top of the already existing alliance with Penske. I can easily see the 21 having a season comparable to the 23, 17, and front row cars in terms of points finish and top 15 speed. Berry could easily take the 21 to victory lane at any short track.
Harrisons win was cool for sure, but thinking this is somehow gonna bring the Wood Brothers out of 30+ in the points is wishful thinking. If they had brought Rodney Childress over with Josh Berry I'd agree with you. Bringing Josh into the organization as it is, how could that bring any different results as they've had the last several years. In spite of the Penske alliance, the Wood Brother have underachived at an embarrassing level for an organization of their stature. Unfortunately the sport has passed them by to a point they may never recover. My bet is, Josh Berry will regret the day he signed with the Wood Brothers. I'm bettin' it will be Josh's ticket out of NASCAR. I hate it for both of them. I was always a fan of the Wood Brothers. David Person, Foyt, man those were the days.What they did for pit stops at Indy is legendary and will never be forgotten.
@@busher69 Remember, the 21 was a playoff car with Blaney and DiBenedetto. I guess it depends on your stance on Berry. I think his talent is in between Blaney and DiBi, rather than being close to Burton. The 21 is essentially a 4th Penske car, and Harrison has been greatly disappointing through his underperformance. I agree with you that the Wood Brothers are partly to blame for why they don’t have speed. It’s their car, a bad driver in a good car should still get middling results rather than be 34th and last in points. But I also think past results with other drivers prove that the 21 being 34th in points is more on Burton than the Wood Brothers.
Everyone talking about Parker in the 62 not helping Busch when the 62 gets their chassis and engines from RCR. Busch had a choice on which lane to take before the restart. He should have taken the outside lane then he would have been in front of the 62.
@@kevinhamrick5184 yeah you never know what would have happened because it’s restrictor plate racing. I’m more upset that the 20 of Bell didn’t push Kyle like he should have. Did he hold back? That’s what slowed up Busch.
Something about NASCAR right now. Very competitive. Great races. I think the car and everything is in a good place, producing great racing. It reminds me of the old days when NASCAR was growing. Even seems to have lost the sterile nature of corporate clean boys. Daytona felt old school again. Even the announcer had that distinct voice like a Chris Economaki did to bring that old vibe back
Yeah I dont like him but that was easily the most impressive race performance since stage racing began. I might be confusing it with his Daytona 500 win season but one of them he was good enough to make it on points and thats fine. Otherwise great win but you still dont deserve a playoff spot if you can't even be one of the best 16.
I'd like to add that the teams below the top 16 have a reason to continue to push hard because there's always that chance they steal a win and get that 3 million $ benefit from being in the playoffs
I was actually rooting for Bush but when Harrison had a chance I jumped ship ! Happy for him, hope someone gives him an another chance next year in a competitive car. Kyle Bush, hope you win this weekend .👍
Only 47,000 plus plus watching so far in 24 hours. You are more popular than a super star Dale. OH, but you are one of those in NASCAR ,always worth the time.
Dale, you have matured so well. You are so iconic, and you help keep the sport exciting, and you are an all-around GOAT for a Nascar expert and analyst.
One of the wildest finishes ive seen in awhile. In terms of who was in contention. In those last 2 laps, i legit asked myself, is cody ware going to win?! Is parker retzlaff gonna win? Never thought i would be thinking those words in that order lol. Then is burton gonna win? I knew as long as kb didnt win, we were gonna have an odd winner. Great job by quite a few of the smaller teams. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. Especially at daytona. That said, i saw rick ware cars up towards the front most of the race. Kinda reminded me of the old front row motorsports days with ragan and todds dad
I got to hang out with the Wood Brothers when DW was getting into the Hall of Fame (the same year Glen Wood was getting in). What can you say? They're just great people!
I agree its not good for other teams when a 30+ teams win and there in. But if those other teams were better, then they wouldnt have to worry about it.
I remember drinking Sun Drop as a young boy in the back of my parent's car everytime we headed to Myrtle Beach. I haven't had one in over 40 years but I want one right now.
HB earned a playoff spot under the current system. Many of us remember the 36 race points system. BUT, this is now. Congrats to the Wood Brothers! This is my favorite win in along time.
Dale is absolutely correct about us not Appreciating all the challenges on the track but we only see one car the whole 500 miles !, the media makes boring on purpose
This is what the sport needs!! There is so much info available on everything now, but we need the aspect of WOW & UNPREDICTABILITY!!! The Wood Brothers could have a monster of a car just for the playoffs that they never have had the opportunity to unveil? Watch out and I’ll be pulling for them all the way because my 1st StockCar race was in 1969 watching that Mercury Cyclone fastback at Riverside 🏁 Still my favorite StockCar of all time🏆🏆
Congratulations to the Woods brothers racing team, I love watching history being made. That's why I love Nascar. For example, when will you see 3 cars go upside down in two race weekends.
These conversations feel like 2003. Just like Harrison Burton, Kenseth was not the first driver to clinch mathematically before the end of the season, but the conversations are suddenly starting now that this has happened a few times.
A great night for Nascar. Nostalgia and traditional racing family successes have always been part of stock car racing's appeal to the good folks who have been fans for decades. The points system still drives us nuts though.
Let’s not forget who was behind Harrison for those last laps, Kyle Busch! If that’s not enough to scare the you-know-what out of you! Great job Harrison!
I'm thrilled to have another competitor with some actual personality. I think the playoff component is where our Cinderella stories come from, and those stories are part of what's missing. I have grown quite tired of watching the same 8-10 drivers up front every week.
I’ve always been team Hendrick but can’t help pulling for Harrison! At 60 I feel I’m a good judge of character. I love him winning for himself, his Pop, and getting Wood Brothers Racing 100th win! ✌🏼
I know, it seems easy to say, and it can sound cliche. Based on the show in its individual sections which were all great. The range of topics that were covered is unique in its scope. Then bringing it all together this is one of, if not the, most memorable episode of the year so far. Thank you Dirty Mo Media for bringing us the Dale Jr Download.
what most people dont understand is how these cars DRIVE. It is an 800-1000 hp GO KART, more or less. The front end is ALIGNED to favor LEFT TURNING configuration, the REAR END literally goes anywhere it wants if your TECHNIQUE is novice and IT ROARS like a LION breathing 500 degree air. THAT is what Dale Jr means by a "challenge"..or at least PART of the challenge. Love the podcast Jr. Hope alls well. Never forget #3 sir
The top 16 n points or win u r n that’s the rules. Ain’t one of the strategies along with hitting your marks,, don’t speed,, take care of your tires etc.. one more is have Fun!!! Everybody loves an underdog brothers it’s great!!!!😎
NO NO NO! The TV Shows us the race. Let us WATCH and just inform from the TV booth. The Excitement is on the Track, not in the fast, shrieking out of control voices of the announcers. Happy for the Burton family! And thanks for today’s show with Buddy Parrot. Great show and Fantastic guy!
NASCAR needs "Cinderella’s". Many fans root for the underdog and it is compelling. The need to over react and think about changing the rules is crazy. I have learned more about Harrison's character because of his win, and I am sure many other fans feel the same. If you aren't going to give the "back markers" a chance, why would they show up.
Fair and Square, win and in. There is plenty of 'points system' balance with green white checkers and the points system in general to ensure we know who are the best drivers throughout the year. I like the win and in because it highlights the core rule of our sport: 'if you aint first, you're last.'
For me Leigh Diffey took me back to the days when Jackie Stewart announced NASCAR races Harrison owes Retzlaff a case of beer for that push ..... It's cool to see two young guys exceed expectations doing something that actually quite hard especially in these new cars where a little slip will wipe both of you out
@@johnhaas2523 missed the “get to the playoffs” bit? Why have points at all? It fails every time. Road course specialist 💩 the ovals but wins on a road coarse and makes the playoffs over a team that consistently runs to 20. It amateur. NASCAR is not best of the best. Everything lowers the bar. Stage racing. cookie cutter cars eliminate team engineering. Win and you’re in is the Hail Mary nascar created to help popular drivers and teams make a playoff. Best teams and drivers don’t always make final four. Good deal of luck plays a huge role. Get rid of those and Kyle Larson wins everything and takes Petty’s records. It’s nerfed racing.
This ain't F1... if you have a chance to go for the win, you go for it. You don't let your teammate pass you because the team said so. That's not racing. It's just not. Retzlaff did exactly what he's supposed to do and both he and Bell can't just back off and not push the other guy. If anyone has a problem with this, they're an idiot.
I look at Harrison winning like the 9-7 Giants going on to win the Super Bowl against the Patriots. You don't have to have the best record or be the most naturally talented team. You have to want it more and play your hand flawlessly which the #21 team can do. If it were a Hendrick or Gibbs car going from the bottom in points to the playoffs we'd hear a lot less of this "struggle with the integrity of the system."
Happy for Burton and the Wood Brothers. As of now, there are three drivers (Suarez, Cindric and Burton) who are below 16th in the standings and have the golden ticket.
You win, your in!!! That is exactly what it was set up for. Who doesn't like an underdog? A Cinderella story is good for NASCAR period. What better way then a good kid who is loosing his ride next year to bet all odds and to give the wood brother's their 100th win. You go Harrison. You know tickle me even better (probably have a better change of winning the lottery but) if he won the championship. Now that would definitely stun everybody and be something worth talking about
Only way to truly name a champion. None of this playoff win and your in bs. We could have a driver win 5 races and finish last 31 times and still win the championship. Burtons win should be celebrated for what it actually is, a win at Daytona which is awesome but that's it.
They need to, but they won't. Nascar hasn't had a real true champion since they changed to this playoff garbage. The system has been flawed and fake since it started. I hear stupid people say this is what makes Nascar unique, but it doesn't. Every sport has a playoff system. None is as flawed as Nascars. Nascar is lost, and they keep getting worse.
I was at the track with a headset on, tuned into Parkers radio. Everything they talked about to not push the 21, help the 8, etc... was not heard on "channel 1" it was radio silence when Parker asked what the plan was. They must have forgotten to switch back from "channel 2". Obviously, they said stuff because it's all over the internet that they did, but no one tuned into his radio at the track heard any of it.
26:50 we need more Ken squier energy in the booth “Covering a city block in less than a second” “It is a two car Joust” “He fireballs his way to the lead!” “It is a game of improvisation, being played by the very best right now” “The engine tortured in car number 27 and beginning to give up. the heart of the car beginning to go” “Slithering! Sliding!” “Like bullets, they propel themselves out of the corner!” “As they storm out of turn four at over 190 mile per hour!”
Imagine front row motorsports without David Regan’s talladega and in Micheal waltrip at the time of without big wins Even trackhouse wouldn’t be as much without big wins like this This is a great point that these lottery wins help teams for years What if wood brothers could run a second car after this
when the system is inbalanced, maybe the system needs a change next year, however to the at the moment rules, respect Harrison, congratz on top 16! I hope he can just finish the races and get in the round of 12!
In golf an amateur can win a major Open tournament, that is another sport with a lottery win opportunity. But this was pretty awesome also! Happy for the Woods brothers racing team!
As a Gordon fan, I'm still pissed at Junior for not letting him in on some of those restarts at Martinsville! LOL but seriously. And I know Jeff is pissed too, because he spoke about it on this show earlier this year!
Jr. you pushed JJ to a win, I will never forget ot it!JJ even said in his interview that you told him that keep his foot to the pedal and you would push him all the way! He said he couldn't believe you kept your word! He wouldn't have won if not for that!
The current NASCAR playoffs is like being in the first round of a Fantasy Football league playoff game and the other guy you're playing against that week stopped playing 2 months ago and has 4 players on IR and no quarterback. No one enjoys a slam dunk victory. The playoffs are suppose to be exciting. It defeats the point of a playoff when there is a lack of competition.
Love that Columbia is sponsoring Bubba. Mother Gert would be proud.😊 I love that so many Oregon companies sponsor NASCAR. Nike Reser Fine Foods Columbia Sportswear Freightliner
I wish everyone would would leave that kid alone he did the right thing he was trying to get his first win

@@debrawardlaw4558 just watch the race, and stop looking at the points.
Wish we could enjoy Harrison’s underdog win without dealing with this Playoff drama.
This is exactly how I feel.
lol it’s not hard to ignore it 😂
Too bad NASCAR insists on a garbage format where the last place guy in points can get a big day club push to a win on a plate track is considered playoff worthy.
Then maybe he should win more often
It's not that he won. It's that a 35th placed team is now a championship contender. Same would have been true with Austin Dillon. The chase/ playoffs are a joke
When the Wood Bros. win it makes NASCAR's history more exciting.
ABSOLUTELY!
You should still be able to win and not be in the playoffs

Yep!! Kyle was very nice to Harrison!! Much respect for bush on that one
Exactly
He damn near wrecked him. Burton even went below the double yellow lines when Kyle hit him in the rear.
@@Buddha-of8fkthat was bump drafting

The added income puts Wood Bros in position to be more competitive next year.
Yet everyone was mad at Austin Dillon and rcr doing the same
Exactly they will prob stretch that money for 2 seasons ! Not like they just use it all up the next race.
Harrison's win gives his team a "Lottery Pick" in the draft, a burst of enthusiasm for team, sponsors and fans
just like getting rid of a top tier player in DiBenedetto

Think of March Madness, is the 16th seed going to win? Absolutely not but underdog or Cinderella stories are always fun to watch

Shout out to Andrew for acknowledging how Kyle Busch raced clean to the finish. As a fan of Kyle’s that made me feel better after he didn’t win.

You're in the minority my guy. Everyone else likes leigh, and wants more.
NASCAR needs "Cinderella’s". Many fans root for the underdog and it is compelling. The need to over react and think about changing the rules is crazy. I have learned more about Harrison's character because of his win, and I am sure many other fans feel the same. If you aren't going to give the "back markers" a chance, why would they show up.
Fair and Square, win and in. There is plenty of 'points system' balance with green white checkers and the points system in general to ensure we know who are the best drivers throughout the year. I like the win and in because it highlights the core rule of our sport: 'if you aint first, you're last.'
Hey jr I'm happy about what you said about Harrison Burton and the wood brothers team thumbs up pal
For me Leigh Diffey took me back to the days when Jackie Stewart announced NASCAR races
Harrison owes Retzlaff a case of beer for that push ..... It's cool to see two young guys exceed expectations doing something that actually quite hard especially in these new cars where a little slip will wipe both of you out
At this point I watch because I love the Racing. I understand the gimmicks pay the bills.
This was great - good take + checking boxes is a good thing - I love that too ✅ 🤩🎉 M. in Miami : )
Great win for Harrison, but this playoff system is junk, i hate it, always have and always will
Yeah, the 34th place car is now in the playoffs. What a joke.
The Wood Brothers Racing Is Awesome
The points jump is lame. Takes consistency out of it. Takes away the argument of “best teams” get to the playoffs.
The best teams are already in the playoffs and the best teams out of who makes the playoffs are going to MAKE the final 4
@@johnhaas2523 missed the “get to the playoffs” bit? Why have points at all? It fails every time. Road course specialist 💩 the ovals but wins on a road coarse and makes the playoffs over a team that consistently runs to 20. It amateur. NASCAR is not best of the best. Everything lowers the bar. Stage racing. cookie cutter cars eliminate team engineering. Win and you’re in is the Hail Mary nascar created to help popular drivers and teams make a playoff. Best teams and drivers don’t always make final four. Good deal of luck plays a huge role. Get rid of those and Kyle Larson wins everything and takes Petty’s records. It’s nerfed racing.
This ain't F1... if you have a chance to go for the win, you go for it. You don't let your teammate pass you because the team said so. That's not racing. It's just not. Retzlaff did exactly what he's supposed to do and both he and Bell can't just back off and not push the other guy. If anyone has a problem with this, they're an idiot.
Restricted superspeedway racing is dumb. And pointless.
That's it Jr it's his Character and it's tradition, and Family. I absolutely loved seeing Harrison win that race
17:34. Berry better send Harrison a care package ....😅
Great show!! Thx!
I look at Harrison winning like the 9-7 Giants going on to win the Super Bowl against the Patriots. You don't have to have the best record or be the most naturally talented team. You have to want it more and play your hand flawlessly which the #21 team can do. If it were a Hendrick or Gibbs car going from the bottom in points to the playoffs we'd hear a lot less of this "struggle with the integrity of the system."
Great show!
Daytona is always a lottery
As I said once before any driver can win Daytona Talladega because it's a battle of survival
And being in the right place at the right time.
Harrison certainly helped Josh Berry out at Wood Brothers next year!
Harry Gant was 10th in points in 1992 with 10 races to go and finished 4th in Winston Cup.
Damn. First question to Bubba is how excited he was Harrison won. Kicking him out of the playoffs. That took some balls.......
Love your podcast JR
Happy for Burton and the Wood Brothers. As of now, there are three drivers (Suarez, Cindric and Burton) who are below 16th in the standings and have the golden ticket.
You win, your in!!! That is exactly what it was set up for. Who doesn't like an underdog? A Cinderella story is good for NASCAR period. What better way then a good kid who is loosing his ride next year to bet all odds and to give the wood brother's their 100th win. You go Harrison. You know tickle me even better (probably have a better change of winning the lottery but) if he won the championship. Now that would definitely stun everybody and be something worth talking about
Make the Winston Cup Points System Great Again!!!!!!
Stop living in the past
Nah
Only way to truly name a champion. None of this playoff win and your in bs. We could have a driver win 5 races and finish last 31 times and still win the championship. Burtons win should be celebrated for what it actually is, a win at Daytona which is awesome but that's it.
They need to, but they won't. Nascar hasn't had a real true champion since they changed to this playoff garbage. The system has been flawed and fake since it started. I hear stupid people say this is what makes Nascar unique, but it doesn't. Every sport has a playoff system. None is as flawed as Nascars. Nascar is lost, and they keep getting worse.
@@jamesburdette4113 stop watching simple as that.
I was at the track with a headset on, tuned into Parkers radio. Everything they talked about to not push the 21, help the 8, etc... was not heard on "channel 1" it was radio silence when Parker asked what the plan was. They must have forgotten to switch back from "channel 2". Obviously, they said stuff because it's all over the internet that they did, but no one tuned into his radio at the track heard any of it.
Off subject, Dale you've got to get a charter man! Cup has to have you involved, we need it!
26:50 we need more Ken squier energy in the booth
“Covering a city block in less than a second”
“It is a two car Joust”
“He fireballs his way to the lead!”
“It is a game of improvisation, being played by the very best right now”
“The engine tortured in car number 27 and beginning to give up. the heart of the car beginning to go”
“Slithering! Sliding!”
“Like bullets, they propel themselves out of the corner!”
“As they storm out of turn four at over 190 mile per hour!”
Imagine front row motorsports without David Regan’s talladega and in
Micheal waltrip at the time of without big wins
Even trackhouse wouldn’t be as much without big wins like this
This is a great point that these lottery wins help teams for years
What if wood brothers could run a second car after this
when the system is inbalanced, maybe the system needs a change next year, however to the at the moment rules, respect Harrison, congratz on top 16! I hope he can just finish the races and get in the round of 12!
Jeff taking shots at woods bro every chance he gets....instead of being grateful....great to see Jeff hasn't changed one but since his racing days.
Hopefully the 21 can run more like a top 15 car than a 34th place in points car going forward. Go Harrison!!!
In golf an amateur can win a major Open tournament, that is another sport with a lottery win opportunity. But this was pretty awesome also! Happy for the Woods brothers racing team!
All of nascar absolutely hates it when a small team wins, they won't say it outloud but they do, loved seeing that 21 drag the 8 to the house👍
As a Gordon fan, I'm still pissed at Junior for not letting him in on some of those restarts at Martinsville! LOL but seriously. And I know Jeff is pissed too, because he spoke about it on this show earlier this year!
Jr. you pushed JJ to a win, I will never forget ot it!JJ even said in his interview that you told him that keep his foot to the pedal and you would push him all the way! He said he couldn't believe you kept your word! He wouldn't have won if not for that!
Pablo Wallace coming on the SHOW. Thanks for warning us Jr. I'm immune to a different show😅
Does the Dillon situation a few weeks back change how Kyle handled that situation?
The current NASCAR playoffs is like being in the first round of a Fantasy Football league playoff game and the other guy you're playing against that week stopped playing 2 months ago and has 4 players on IR and no quarterback. No one enjoys a slam dunk victory. The playoffs are suppose to be exciting. It defeats the point of a playoff when there is a lack of competition.
Love that Columbia is sponsoring Bubba. Mother Gert would be proud.😊 I love that so many Oregon companies sponsor NASCAR.
