Was never a fan but always respected him, but here is a humble man trying to deflect attention away from himself to others. His daddy raised him right.
@Rk0788 k Jr and his sister both said that he was not a father they could count on. look at Jr."s pod cast about Dale Sr. and Kelly's talk with Kyle Petty
@Rk0788 k her point being Dale Sr was not there hands on with Kerry,Kelly and Dale Jr while they were growing up. Brenda only gave up custody to Dale Sr only after the fire that ruined their home. Dale Jr very much relied on Kelly all his life. Kelly stepped up to take care of him cause their dad and Tasha were always at the races. It was only after Tyler was born that he became a hands on father
Such a class act, you can tell how proud he is of Truex, Dale is the only reason Truex was given a chance, one of the few who believed in him. Now Martin will try to surpass Dale Jrs success. Thank you Dale for giving the little guys the chance to run in top tier equipment and prove that they belong, you will truly be missed
The fact that half of Dales post race send off interview was for for his best friend Truex Jr shows class. Shows what kind of man he is and what he learned from his father. True act of character. Live you June bug. Miss seeing you compete. Loved watching your dad and you will always be my favorite.
I attended one Winston Cup race at Talladega in October, 2001. Dale Jr won!... Batting a thousand. Thanks for being an awesome human being Dale Jr. You are missed by all your fans. Big E is so proud.
Thank you Dale Jr for an incredible career. You may have not won a championship in the Cup series but you’ll always be champions to us fans. Enjoy your retirement!!
He’s continued to better it through his broadcasting and podcast though!! Now he unveils the deep stories of the old time racers on the show and it’s awesome.
@G hrvyck easy. Daytona 500’s aren’t really a who’s who in nascar. More of who survived and got lucky. Trevor bayne, Ryan Newman, Michael waltrip, ward burton, I can name some other drivers who have won the 500 and didn’t and don’t have great NASCAR careers.
@G hrvyck same can be said for talladega. It was more his car and the horsepower DEI use to make there. And comparing jr.s NASCAR career to other drivers who have had a great career, yes Jr.‘s wasn’t great
Watching this nearly 3 years later. Dale Jr. was my hero as a kid. I miss watching him race on a weekly basis tremendously. I’ve always looked up to him and carried myself the way he did. I hope to meet him one day and thank him for the impact he’s made to me the last 19 years.
I was at this race and when they showed him, the crowd was in tears. My mother was standing right next to me and she cried really hard. It was hard seeing Dale go.
Dale Jr., thank you for all the courage and honesty through your career with NASCAR. You showed all of your fans that your father Dale Sr. Taught you all the values, courage and honesty on life. He also taught you how and when to be tough. You and your dad will always be heroes to me and my friends and family, congrats on being a national icon and Hero......
Long live the Earnhardt's and all they've done to put this sport on the map. Just a damn shame DJ never won a championship in this series but he is a class act on every level. Total Respect to him, Kelly and his entire family. And Congrats to Martin Truex and Sherry Pollex and all that they have endured with kicking cancers ass! A Win Win
Thank you for being able to see you all these years. You are and have always been my favorite driver. God bless you on your next adventures through your life.
I think Dale Jr. is the way he is just because of the way his dad raised him before he passed. Such a humble and respectable guy. He wasn’t handed really handed anything and he really had to work his way up to be a real nascar driver in the beginning, just like anyone else would, although his dad was so famous he probably could’ve easily just hopped in the car on spot and started racing. Much love for Dale Jr. I’ve watched him since I was about 5 years old. Thank you for all the memories Jr!
The epitome of a Champion, as a human being . What we would all hope our sons would emulate to be in their life . Thanks for setting such a great example . Bless you . Enjoy the homestretch of your life .
I love him so much for the way he's so happy and lights up the sport with that attitude, he really showed that winning doesn't make a great driver. But on the real, Dale you'll always be my hero! #NW88JR
Thank you for the memories Dale Jr, you'll be remembered as one of the best in Nascar. We wish you the best on the next chapter of your life. Thank you again for the memories.
I go to the Daytona 500 every year and when I go this year I’m not sure how I’m going to feel I’m going to miss dale jr racing every week from the time I started watching nascar dale jr has been my guy. I’m super proud of him and his career. I’m going to miss him. Thanks for the ride Dale.
As a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan i had myself a Budweiser at Hooters and I stood up and yelled this one for you Dale Jr thank you for everything in NASCAR and everyone did a salute
Hi! Dale Jr. Such A Great Driver And A Great Man! I'm. Miss him And Watch ing him Race! And Win Races, Congrats Dale! And What You Have Done And Win Races!! For So LONG, I no His Dad Would Be So Proud of Him And What He Has Accomplished!! God BLESS
I want to say thanks dale jr for being such a great nascar driver im glad everyone on the plane was ok when it crashed in elizebethon tenn i was at daytona when your dad got killed and seeing that in person was something ill never forget i have always really like your driving on the track i had a monte carlo that i had fixed up like your number 8 budwiser car i had all the decals on it just like your car i wish i could have met you at your shop sometime so you could have seen it and drove it one time nascar is not the same with your dad gone ive always been a fan of yours and your dad and always will keep up the great work
I have watched sale of race since I was probably 8 or 9 I started out as a fan of dale senior and then dale junior so he is the ultimate do it for dale thank you junior for all your years of keeping us hillbillies entertained on Sunday
Had to watch some old footage after reading his book about his final years. It's a great read if you get a chance and explains what he was going through during those last days.
Goodbye dale. Only seen NASCAR this year but now know why you are so respected. Your humble and a great man. Yes in terms of racing skill you are overated but in terms of being a likable person and a representative of the sport I salute you. You deserved more than no titles. And this is a guy who's watched f1 all his life.
This was hard for me because Junior is one of the best racers ever. Watching him become an after thought, watching him struggle all season, it was hard man. I hope he comes back.

From watching him win the 500 as a little kid to his last race as a college man I say thank you so much Dale Jr
Darian Gilliam my best friend was at this race!
hey Darian
lame
Same here.
Yup I feel that man now I'm a Logano fan lord help me hahah
Was never a fan but always respected him, but here is a humble man trying to deflect attention away from himself to others. His daddy raised him right.
Rolie Rebel 03 no his Mother and Father raised him right..His mother Brenda was a big influence on him as well as his sister Kelley..
@Rk0788 k No dad didn't raise him .. but he turned out very good.
@Rk0788 k Jr and his sister both said that he was not a father they could count on. look at Jr."s pod cast about Dale Sr. and Kelly's talk with Kyle Petty
@Rk0788 k It’s well documented by Jr. himself. His dad was more concerned with building his racing career than raising children.
@Rk0788 k her point being Dale Sr was not there hands on with Kerry,Kelly and Dale Jr while they were growing up. Brenda only gave up custody to Dale Sr only after the fire that ruined their home. Dale Jr very much relied on Kelly all his life. Kelly stepped up to take care of him cause their dad and Tasha were always at the races. It was only after Tyler was born that he became a hands on father
His father is so proud of him, Looking down from the racing heavens.
yes
luv the re-run!
Jim Dickenson some salty rusty wallace fan
MoparMuscle77 there’s no heaven so there’s for sure no racing heaven you’re ridiculous
LikeUhBoss123 fuck off.
Such a class act, you can tell how proud he is of Truex, Dale is the only reason Truex was given a chance, one of the few who believed in him. Now Martin will try to surpass Dale Jrs success. Thank you Dale for giving the little guys the chance to run in top tier equipment and prove that they belong, you will truly be missed
TheSaltedSnail you are so right..The friendship he has with Martin is wonderful to watch..

King Xa He's gonna be chasing a toddler soon lol
14 -time Champion... of the People
ALF Raydough won it in ‘04, too. One of the best drivers to never win a championship.
Rick Hendrick is a class act. Just the way he took Dale Jr under his wing and looked out for his race career was amazing.
Love you Dale. Sports not going to be the same without you. Thank you!
RK1993 NASCAR and sports will be better than ever without him
@@rgthenascarfan9716 😂
He’s continued to better it through his broadcasting and podcast though!! Now he unveils the deep stories of the old time racers on the show and it’s awesome.
and it hasn't since
Will Miss You Dale Jr!!!
Dale Jr. had a great career. Well said at the end and a class act. He will be missed on the track
God Speed 913 8
I wouldn’t describe his career as great. Only if you’re counting merchandise sales
@G hrvyck easy. Daytona 500’s aren’t really a who’s who in nascar. More of who survived and got lucky. Trevor bayne, Ryan Newman, Michael waltrip, ward burton, I can name some other drivers who have won the 500 and didn’t and don’t have great NASCAR careers.

People can say what they want about Mr Hendrick but if you are in his circle he will get ya through anything life can throw at ya.
Anyone realize that Martin Truex Jr sat there and waited for Dale Jr's interview to end so he can drive into victory lane.
