The most important part about this story is how all of these normal guys built a legend. I really appreciate the "normal guy" stories from all these interviews! Joe Mattes, Ty Norris, Kirk Shelmerdine and the Eurys just to name a few. It's like one small town called Nascar, North Carolina has all of these important events everyday!
Those weren’t normal guys. They had vision- their own, and that of the owner. Unusual guys building cars and engines for competition where they are “merely” part of the equation, part of the team, not the superstore. Unusual men have that capacity.
When Dale died it hit me the hardest of any death of a person I’d never met. I cry but love these shows, Thank you Dale, Mike, and Kelley
Man, I miss Dale Earnhardt, this sport would have been so much better today.
Yup. To me, the greatest tragedy is that DEI, with all its talent and promise for genuine success, barely got their opportunity to compete at full strength with the Founder battling Hendrick, Childress, Penske, Gibbs & Roush…
I’ve never heard a truer statement and man of man I/we all miss the hell out of that man. And I’m so proud of how Jr. has handled all of this.
from your lips to God's ears...
I wasn’t a senior fan.
I am/was a Dale Junior fan.
One thing I know for sure is Dale Sr. would be so PROUD of his SON'S,and DAUGHTER.
Just think if Big E was still here today, what a powerhouse DEI would be.. Great episode Jr!!..
Not only that but if jr an kelly would of got to take over could tou imagine what they would be doing i bet ol hendrick an childress would be hurting
That must've been one hell of an honor to get a plaque presented to you from Dale Sr. & crew that says: "You can hire leaders, but the best leaders are born leaders".
I've thought this for awhile, but this is without question the best NASCAR show on youtube. Anyone who is a true fan would find it impossible not to love what Dirty Mo is bringing us! These behind the scene stories are absolutely outstanding! Keep up the great content guys! Love it!
It's the best NASCAR show, period! 👍
I was fortunate to be at the World 600 in May that year and was actually in Jrs pit before the race and happened to be watching one of the TVs in his pit box as TBS was playing a promo about Jr running his first cup race. I was also in Daytona in 1979, I saw Richard Petty win his 200th race and was in Homestead for Jimmys 7th championship. I am not bragging just feel very fortunate to see such major milestones in NASCAR history.
First thing I want to thank Dirty Mo Media for all that you do for us the fans. I was so into Nascar in the 90s and early 2000s and anything That I can learn about those time's is awesome. I love the how your podcast preserves the History of the sport it's what is wrong with our country now none of these kids care about the past on anything. Doing a great job
What a great story. I believe I'm getting the same feeling about Richie Gilmore that Dale Sr got in that he's just a great man and great leader and just needed someone to bring it out of him and it was the intimidater that did it all while Richie didn't really like the man.Thays just amazing to hear that story. I learned Dale had a a stern side but also a kind side that if he liked you he would go the extra mile to make anything you needed work.
Just a great man and so is Richie.
I live in sherrills ford NC and down behind me is a big shop with an 1800 Sq ft home inside it and the guy who owns it and lives in it worked as an engine builder for DEI and I can't remember his name but I'm thinking he said Bob when he introduced himself so now it's really got me wondering who he is. He's pretty well off cuz his place is really nice and he drives high dollar brand new trucks and he made sure I knew he wasn't rich that his shop and home and land and everything he has was from the money he made being a nascar engine builder. He's been building a 70's model chevy truck with a big engine and beautiful burgundy paint job. Sounds very powerful he went by yesterday in it.
He has been working summers in Arizona for the big car auctions but that's about all I know about him.
If I get a chance to talk to him again I'm going to ask him if he knew Richie Gilmore and Steve Hmeil and others at DEI.
Very interesting to hear Richie tell this story.what a great guy. Thanks Dale Jr and Mike
I could listen to this conversation for hours. I know thousands have thought what would DEI be like if Dale Sr was still here. Dale Jr, I know you love to hear the old stories about your dad. ❤ 🙏 ❤️
DEI would have been the next HMS in NASCAR if Big E wouldn't have died.
Probably even greater since dale drove the cars and could get big sponsorship dollars basically if dale asked you said yes !!
@@fatpatlives1998 oh 100% with out a doubt
Your Definitely 100% correct.. I also believe had Theresa gave jr the 51% he was asking for DEI would still be one off the biggest teams in all of nascar.. I believe TRUEX JR would have been a lot more successful then what he was with dei all them years 1 win anyways Jr would have done whatever it took to keep him under the DEI Umbrella.. Michael would have been fired ASAP as jr and him didn't get along as teams.. The only thing that might had not happened would've been MEAN BRAD KESELOWSKI not sure had jr been running dei would he still had went after
lol NOPE
@@coreylackey2391lil Jr sure didn't offer to purchase DEI. Just wanted it handed to him. He probably would have screwed it up if he were running it. If Dale had lived DEI would have been a powerhouse and nascar would have been better for it. Unfortunately that is not the case.
... and that my friends, is why Dale Earnhardt was and STILL is the GOAT. Simply the best driver, and not always the best equipment ... and what's more is his ability to put people in positions to succeed. There will never be another.
I hope JR & MIKE, WILL HAVE TO ABILITY TO SEE THESE COMMENTS, MANY PEOPLE HAVE MANY NICE COMMENTS AND VERY NICE THOUGHTS...So letbme add mine today!! This Dirty Mo platform podcast..the Podcast that Mike and Dale share, and all the others that are being done on the Airways..Mike & Dale you two guys have offered the best racing format and information of the ring world is with out hesitation, the greatest show racing has ever had, with out doubt the most informative program there has ever been.. THANK YOU MIKE, THAK YOU DALE FIR GETTING THE PROGRAM STARTED... not sure how it started but is better then THE TACING ITSELF.. that sounds funny, but I am from NASCAR country in Pa. out by hometown area of Jimmy Spencer...AGAIN, DIRTY MO IS THE GREATEST SPORTS TALK PODCAST WITHOUT COMPARE...GOD SPEED!!
Funny he mentions Dale having a 10 year plan in 1998 because in hindsight Dale Jr’s first season at Hendrick was in 2008.
The stories behind the story are the best! I listen to them all the time.
Stories of Dale touching lives in so many different ways is something I’ll never get tired of.💪🏻 Thank you guys for Dirty Mo it’s such a great show.🍻
Dale and Mike and Dirty Mo Media, I absolutely LOVE THESE PRECIOUS STORIES 💞🤗💞👍 THESE STORIES ARE PRECIOUS PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES FOREVER 💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🏁🏆🏁 PLEASE KEEP THESE STORIES COMING 🙏🏻💞🏁🏆🏁 THEY TRULY ARE PRICELESS!

Thank you Dale, Mike and Dirty Mo Media, I love these podcasts. Great guest with great stories, much appreciated 👍
You're guests just keep getting better.
they honestly keep getting worse but he’s had about everyone u can have on the show so he’s doing a real good job of finding new people
THIS is why I Love this show!!!! Awesome content!!!!!!!!
The impact the Intimidator still has on the people and the sport is remarkable.
All these interviews give us behind the scenes stories that most fans never knew. While I enjoyed watching him race, I was never a super big Dale E fan while he was alive. But I am more so now with all this backstory info. Great stuff !
SUCH A COOL SHOW 👍JUST ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW
Dale Sr. wanted to keep people like Richie Gilmore at DEI, because DEI was supposed to be his legacy to the next generations, that would outlive him.
Dale Sr. was a tough, hard nosed guy, who had worked hard through tough times. But that made him a strong man with great passion and great compassion. He cared deeply for his family, his friends, the sport, and his community. He truly tried hard to leave everything he could touch far better than he found it. Not many can say that.
Man that comment about leaders was awsome! Dale was a great leader himself !👍👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Great show Bud man! I'd love to have one Richie's motors.
Thank you guys for this.
I absolutely love this! I can see even Jr is surprised too hear some of what Ritchie is saying and to see the respect he had for big E. Priceless!
😅😅😅😅
I would love to see you (Dale) use engine#11 in a project car. Not for a daily driver but as a show case. Maybe even do some pace laps at Daytona or Talladega. I mean it's a iconic piece of racing history. It shouldn't be left in a garage collecting dust. Embrace and celebrate the unique capabilities of the #11 engine.
I miss Dale as much as the rest of his fans. Nascar lost the most. I have never been back to the tracks we went too! Hope Dale is with his friends racing in Heavens Rip Dale # 3 forever 🙏 😢
Love these old behind the scenes stories. We tend to believe that somebody had the magic formula to always hire the right crew from the get go. But no, it was a process that wasn't always pretty.
I was the crew for a buddy in Phoenix, Manzanita Speedway was a 1/4-1/2 mile Italian clay track claimers and garage stock/midgets. The night of Dale Senior's death we raced. I never saw so many men cry as that night at the races, it was also near my birthday but we didn't celebrate it that night. Nobody Raced like Dale Senior Raced.
For Big E to put him in charge of the engine shop he really had to have thought a lot of him and trusted he could get it done.
Man Dale Sr. Didnt even know this dude! Hell one coild argue he didn't even know Dale Jr ! Then again how many fathers ever really know their son!
This is why I have nascar has been in my life through my mom.. Dad... Southern living.. Mom drove a souvenir truck every year she got a contract.. Winston cup times.. Ironically at home her best friend started a truck detailing business if ya know anything about Bristol Motor Speedway back then thru food city thier company was Doozy Truck Center.. Mom even had us in a commercial the Appalachian Fair they had a huge set up... It was my youth.. If ur from Johnson City area.. Nascar was everything. 💯👏👏
Great stuff JR. Keep it coming !!🏁
that was the best interview of the year🤘🏼🏁
I remember all the stories, we all lived either brawley school road or country club apartments then, then shinnville rd, my son in his mustang would play with yall on shinnville or at the 1/8 mile dragway
I’ve never heard Dale referred to as Big E. Thats amazing.
DEI was headed to the TOP. I am still sorry it fell apart.
Jr reppin the FMS T-shirt. SC baby !!
Big E was a special man. The entire sport did with him. That's a legacy you truly can take to the grave.
You can’t make this stuff up 😆, everybody telling the same exact intimidating story of the infamous pickup ride with Dale 🤣 Too bad that truck didn’t have a GoPro 😎
Makes you wonder how things would have been if Sr. could have had a social page like everyone does today posting a couple videos every week, but that was when even songs having a video was a big production.
@@waggtech4883 absolutely! What fun it would’ve or could’ve been!
Please do some digging around on the history of Hoss Ellington's shop.
Awesome story
Great video
Great video.
awesome!
We need a all vintage nascar racing channel playing all old races n coverage. There has to be a wherehouse full somewhere lol
So great to look under the curtain at what was happening while all the fans are thinking that this or that should have been done and also what I've always intuited, that Big E was like he was because it was " root hog or die" not NASCAR today where they come in with their bank account number and the team and sponsors fill it up.
Pin in a frost plug is a good deterrent for a blow out dont take an hour to do them.
🔥
Dale would have a 4 car team today and kicking Hendrick butt . That's the real tragedy of it all .
Big boss at my job told me he can train anyone to be a leader I told him ya but the best leaders are born to lead .. bingo even Dale thought the same
I want to see the whole dang thing on RUclips. Not just little bits of it. I want to see it not just hear it. Fix that.
I have went to listen to one or two episodes but the audio is not close to the same as the video! I don't get why they aren't up unless it is a sponsor deal.
They post a shortened version of some of these on Peacock….
It's on Peacock
I would like to be able to watch all of the episodes. Peacock only has 3 seasons
Pleasseeeee
❤❤❤
🏎️
DEI
NASCAR is a joke this day and age I think but opinions very. I love listening to Dale Jr talk about what was going on in those days of good hearted racing drivers and crew members. God bless the BIG E family and ❤be safe and GOD bless you all for the good times
JR representing FMS SC 👍🏼
What does FMS mean?
@@mojoejojo171 Florence Motor Speedway South Carolina
@@AllstarVentures KOOL!
@@mojoejojo171 He brought a showing of fans to the track like it’s never seen before. Was great and hope to see him back !
DEI Mind Trick...These are the engines you are looking for....
Richie I wouldn't have recognized you in a million years. If you don't realize who I am Think Bob Ott Thin Ice 😂
The Earnhardt‘s left.A whole lot of people did the same.
😘
I just found out they had to close nascar museum why did nascar not help them keep open questions
Man y'all are milking this one.
Loved it, but not a podcast fan. Too much stuff to do in a day!🏁🇺🇸🥃
He hardly ever looked at Jr. Kind of a weird interview.
I think he says he choked and puts this pity party spin on it so himself and everyone else can feel sorry for him. Just live with your decision.
Just say well i thought my restsrt ability would get me clear but it just didnt work out this time but good finish and was a winning car. Better luck next time and we will get em at dega where i know im more than capable of winning.
But isntead :insert clip of interview.
Everything is so cookie cutter now...stamped out like almost all the tracks..
Yes. Keep calling it “xfinity series”….😂😂😂😂
For a NASCAR history buff, this is preposterous…..
Giving the impression that your sponsor has been involved in the lower level for more years than they have been is an outright LIE.
Some new fan comes here and listens to Junior say “I was just winding down my xfinity career…” is totally unacceptable. Is Junior going to change the Busch Championship trophy to xfinity by putting some masking tape and writing Xfinity on it??
What a joke….
It's still Winston Cup and Busch Series to me.
Lol. Face it times are changing. The chase, planned cautions, its not racing anymore, its entertainment. My god every race with 3 or 4 Laos to go they all just ram in to each other like a demolition derby. Then they have this" overtime" where they restart and wreck each other and people call it racing. It's a total joke.
The bigger joke is the marketing of the Xfinity network as “10G”.
@@jcearnhardt393 WWE Nascar something something 400
I still refer it to Bush and Winston. All this soy boy PC crap, is just a joke. Sprint cars haven't really changed much in 30 years. Yeah, the panels look a little different but it's just body work, same big wing with a small front wing, and gobs of power. Hell in the 90's they were making 700-800hp. Now same 410ci block is making 950hp. That's real racing, more power, less rules, and caution laps don't count. This new age NASCAR is the same thing as a participation trophy if you ask me.
This story was hard to follow. No lead in to who this guy is or what he did. Guy has low energy and didn't get through the story very clearly.
You have to remember Dale Sr has been gone for 22 yrs and the stories Richie is telling were a few yrs before that so I could tell he was struggling with some remember exactly how things went.
But I've never heard anything he talked about before and I understood the story well.
I could tell he was nervous and didn't want to upset Jr with any of it. Richie even said he didn't really like Dale Sr and really didn't want to work for him but he gave it a shot anyways.
He knew it wouldn't be easy to work for a man with Dale Srs stature and keep him happy but somehow he did. Dale really new he had a great man and leader and engine builder in Richie.
I wish we could have had Dale around all this time building the DEI team.
I believe it would have been right up there with Hendricks team.
Dale wouldn't have settled for anything less.
Always liked Dale Jr as a person rather than a driver.
Pole
That ending…I’m pretty sure my room got all dusty all of a sudden… 🥲🥹
