My mom called one day and asked if I had heard of Chocolate Meyers. She assumed he was famous. I said I did and she told me he moved in their neighborhood. Got to meet him. Gave my wife and I a tour of his house and showed us all of the memorabilia from back in the day including Winston Cup trophies. Very nice man. Bigger fan now.
@@alfee9411 They all were early on lol... The good ol days of NASCAR is a speck in the review mirror. This podcast is awesome to go back and learn a ton of stuff you never knew.
As Adele senior fan growing up you heard the name chocolate Myers but until you hear the voice and The Man Behind The Voice this man needs to have his own podcast too oh my God what a show today love the podcast but this is probably the best show yet in my book
I was like 7 or 8 years old and was at the race in Daytona and you won the race and your pit crew ended up throwing all of your lug nuts into the stands. One ended up hitting me in the nose (minimum damage lol) I was fine. What was so cool about it is a guy in the stands who didn’t even know me went down and grabbed it and brought it to the nurse station and gave it to me and I still have it until this day!!!!!!! I just wanted to write you and see if you remember that. It’s one of the many crazy cool things that have happened in my life! Thank yall for busting my nose lol. I love telling this story to people! God bless 🙏🏼
Dale, please, please, please do a 1979 type series on this crew! They have such an insight into your dad and his career, plus they are such interesting men! They are the next part of the Becoming Earnhardt story.
About a year ago a buddy and I were lucky enough to get a tour of the museum from Danny Lawerence and Mike Dillion. It was a privilege and an honor to experience the museum from legends at RCR and NASCAR as a whole. Going to the museum is like traveling back in time 30-50 years ago. If anyone wants to visit the museum I would recommend getting a tour from the people at RCR. The items in the museum are amazing but nothing will ever beat the experience of listening to stories from the people that lived it. Thank you for coming on the show Chocolate and Kurt.
Jr if you ever wondered if your dad and mom would be proud, brother you bring back the best days of NASCAR and the family you and Amy have, I'm proud and I know they are
I'm a new NASCAR fan and don't know who these 2 guys are... let me just say, "wow, what an episode" love the nostalgia and helping me understand the history of the sport
I'm Sorry to hear that your New to NASCAR....you Missed the Best and Most Exciting Years!! 😢 I've left being a NASCAR fan due to Moving Away from its Grass Roots! 😢🥀💔🇺🇲
This is the best show ever and you guys have done a lot of great shows. I’m 54 years old wishing I could have been in one of those pit crews in the 80s and 90s.
Man, I love these stories. I’m literally in tears from the memories… I wish there was a hockey and every sport show like this. Will you bring the old timers in and tell stories… Get them before they’re gone💪🏼🏁🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Dale, the compliments those two gents gave you at the end of the interview were the best you can get from two of the best there are. My gosh I hope you are proud and know what you mean to this sport. I admire your ability to discuss difficult situations with much dignity and grace. You are a very talented and it's true, you've done more for the sport than your dad did with much grace. Thank you for what you do. ♥ In addition, I'm proud Chocolate has completed his treatment and is living his best life! Great interview with 3 great guys.
Dale tell chocolate I had that lymphoma challenge and when they told me my chemo would be more drastic I said I don’t want to go that often for that long let’s do the chemo I had in the first place it wasn’t as intensive. After hearing what he went through I will no longer tell the doc what I will do I WILL DO WHAT THE DIC SAYS AND BE POSITIVE ABOUT IT. That’s what this podcast did for me. I’ve been in a racing family since 1959 on the fan side and I love it to pieces!!
Even to this day, when you do the podcast videos of stories about your dad, at 44 years old I still get choked up. What you and your dad have done for not only NASCAR but for the fans(including myself) is indescribable. For myself and my family when your dad passed it was the most heart-wrenching moment of our lives but, you grab the bull by the horns and made that heartache a little less harmful. Thank you DJ for everything you have done for my family and the fans all over the world.
This is a really special episode for those of us who around as fans back in the day. It was very much like a family reunion with we fans as extended family. The great thing about a family reminiscing its history together is the opportunity for those who once feuded with one another to laugh at the experiences both good and bad they shared in the past. Some of us were definitely not Earnhardt or RCR fans back in the day. Far from it but we are all NASCAR family and there is a special magic in looking back and remembering those times. With time we have all come to acknowledge and admire how special that 3 car, its driver and its crew actually were.
My heart is full and I am enjoying this episode so much. I love hearing the stories and memories of the races that are being discussed. These guys are so special to me 🏁😎🏁
Man I think I needed to hear this episode with Chocolate I myself got diagnosed with blood cancer last year and every once in a while it is hard not to get down. It is refreshing hearing of other people’s cancer journey. I was surprised at how many people even younger have cancer. I love all of the old Dale stories one of Dales crew chiefs years ago was my neighbor and had the privilege of meeting him and hearing stories that I have even heard on the podcast. The Earnhardts are legends and Sr is definitely my hero
Thanks Dale Jr,your Daddy would definitely be proud of who you've become! Kirk and Chocolate are definitely royalty to me,watching them week end and week out making magic! Being a former member of NASCAR and a huge fan of your daddy through out his career and then watching you throughout yours thank you! Sadly after your retirement I found myself no longer interested in watching the series.. Kyle Busch said it best.. "The old NASCAR fans are broken hearted and they'll never be back". Unfortunately in my case it's become very true! #3 Will always be my favorite driver no matter what! Thanks again Dale Jr!
Growing up in Charlotte and as a racing fan, I love the stories and history that Dale Jr is saving and cherishing. Dale Sr was a year older than me and I've watched him from his earliest days on dirt right to his NASCAR success. The "Flying Aces" were a true family that built a legendary team. This was a GREAT episode as told by three really great racing guys. I hope Choc can totally win his health battle !
That could’ve went on all day and I would’ve never gotten tired of Listening to these guys. Jr. you outdone yourself on this one. Always wanted to meet Chocolate and the other guys also. Greatest pit crew ever in my opinion. Thank you for the video. Bruce in Wv!!!
Years back my Dad ,Uncle and myself went touring all the shops. The highlight was the museum. Chocolate came out to greet us and get pictures. Come to find out he had just came thru our part of Ohio the week before to go give a speech. Just a great guy, These stories from Kirk and Chocolate are great. This was when Nascar was worth watching.
One heck of a great conversation. Dam , I teared up with love yall shared. Love those compliments to ya Dale. Kirk is right , in alot of ways you are better. And we all know your Dad is proud of you. Good luck chocolate, one hell of a racer, I've met him a few times. Best was at IRP in '03 ,he stopped in our pits n put in a fresh dip and stood with us for the star spangled banner. BTW that was my first race after I got my Nascar license so I could pit, n jump over the wall. Love these old history days. Thanx, Jr!
Absolutely one of my favorite shows! I never miss one! I sure do love the ones with people that loved Dale and love you. Very touching memories they shared!
..... And this is why I haven't watched a single race since he left us! There simply isn't anyone that can compare! This is another fantastic interview, Dale Jr.! I am listening to Dale Jr and I am remembering as he is talking about these moments. Never thought during these moments ± what was Junior thinking? Nobody on the planet was more impacted by the goings on than Jr. His perspective is always my favorite We all thought Dale had super human-like qualities. Can one truly grasp all the things? As big as Dale is. There's no way that he could've lived up to it! Dale Jr you are so tough on yourself,! You have earned your own place out of the shadows of Dale! Your own rightful spot! You are just as great! All the heroic images you have not only attained- you have done some of it better. To sort through all the ,"stuff" ( we cant imagine ) and turn out as you have .... shew, you be proud! I don't know of anyone that could do it, You're truly remarkable! So much respect for this table! All 3, a living light of the legendary Dale! He is so proud that you all are the people with his stories. Thanks so much for sharing those with us. Completely mesmerized! For the duration of this... all Of anything else-- turned off. These stories are gifts to us that love and miss #3! Each era has it's "back in our Day" stories. The generation before us being Vietnam veterans or back in WW2. We are the veterans of The Man in Black! The Great Intimidator, Mr. Goodwrench- #3 love him or hate him you respected him. If we weren't there we might not even believe it. Truly what legends are made of! I don't know about anyone else but we are blessed to have "survived" 😂❤the absolute best of "The good'ole ' Days" to date! I don't know if it is possible to get any better ... And I'm ok with that!🎉😂❤ Again, thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤
Jr... You have something special with the djd. Ive watch close to 200 of these episodes even re watching a bunch. From the full non video podcast to the segments of 20-30 min. Dont ever change a thing. And thank you for making these into videos. It twice as great to see the emotions on the faces of the stories. You had a huge shadow cast over your head ti fulfill your name. But you truely have suceeded expectations in your on way. THE OL MAN WOULD BE PROUD BROTHER.
Thank you Jr for doing this. I know it made you feel really good when they both said they were really proud of you. You do a lot for the sport and i think we are all proud of you
!!!! Thank you so much for doing these podcats Junior!!!! Im 32 and grew up watching your dad through the 90s and then got to enjoy your whole career. Nothing better than some never before heard stories from the glory days! Love you and your dad Junior! I wish you were made President of NASCAR. Guaranteed better racing than we have now.
Man you made me cry lord I miss them good old days watching as a kid and now I know why I stay positive threw life I want to say thank you to all and everyone been a fan sense I was 6 years old I'm 43 will die a Dale Earnhardt and Jr fan for life. Thank you Chocolate and Kirk.
Totally loved Kirk and Chocolate with you all being open.Cheered cussed and cried through all those years. Keep it up and I will continue to be your biggest fan.
Wow. This might be the best Dale Jr. show ever. There are so many things going through my head that I could write a 50 page book in the comments, but that's not how this works. Thanks to Chocolate for talking about the difficult things we all need to pay more attention to. Thanks to Kirk for the understanding of how sometimes you have to step out of your role to do something that is your life path. What an awesome show. Great work Dirty Mo team!
Junior this was definitely one of my favorites. I'm so glad you brought Kirk and Chocolate on together. It really brought back so many memories for me being a dedicated Earnhardt fan forever. The Flying Aces were definitely the best. I would love to have one of those t-shirts!!! I 100% agree with them, you have done so much for this sport, your mom and dad would be so proud of you, watching you grow up on the racetrack I am so proud of you!!!! Chocolate will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers. His attitude and positivity is absolutely awesome!!!!
Dale Jr. pulled together a great interview with Chocolate and Kirk. That #3 Goodwrench team of Richard Childress Racing with Dale Earnhardt and the infamous “Flying Aces” pit crew accomplished so much together in the NASCAR Cup Series. Championship seasons in 1986,1987, 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1994. Thanks so much Dale Jr. for the rich conversation with Chocolate and Kirk. We look forward to more about the Flying Aces.
I was at the Winston where the pass in the grass happened. I was a Elliott fan. Dale won that race because Bill thought he was going to wreck when Dale got all 4 wheels back on the track. The difference between Dale and Elliott or Bodine was his naked desire to win. No one wanted to win more than Dale Sr.That was his super power
I was at the spring race in Bristol 1987. Wrangler won that race. Richard Petty run 2nd. Rusty led a lot of laps. Been a Earnhardt fan all my life I cried the day he lost his life. Attendance that day was 35,000. I live in Edmonton,Ky. Dale Jr in my mind you took his place I’ve followed you since the first race you run in the Busch series. Your Friend, Ronnie Miller.
That was such a great discussion you had with those two. Excellent interview. I followed your dad back in the day. I'm in my 70's and really enjoy hearing the old school boys. Thanks Jr.
wow! So many stories. so much love and admiration for each other. Thank you for sharing you dad's life and the things we would never know without you bringing it and the guests on the show.
Met Chocolate at the coast getting gas a couple years ago. I went up to him and told him I was from his neck of the woods. He was just like you see here. Friendly with that big smile. This was not long after he found out about his situation. I'm convinced what you see here is who he is.
I had the privilege of meeting Chocolate at the Sprint Cup Ceremony years ago. One of my most cherished memories. Super nice guy. Another classic DJD episode!
Jr I doubt you will ever read this but it sure is nice.... you seem to have achieved something that very few of us can. Contentment. What a wonderful thing. A lot of things in your life but contentment. Nice. I'm an old guy. I'm still trying to
So glad you guys started uploading the full podcast to RUclips. As weird as it is I can’t pay attention to just the podcast but when there’s video it helps
So much to say about Chocolate and his lovely wife Caron...but I'll keep it short... Hung out a little in the 90's...treasured our time together! The quiet wisdom he bestowed upon me is priceless!! Love you Choc and Caron!!
👍🤠 Listening to Chocolate brought back memories. I had stage 4 lymphoma also, I stayed positive and beat it with chemo and radiation. Sense then have had 2 more separate cancers. Same aditude . Always said that my Wife and daughter had it harder than I did.
Danny God bless you. I have been a fan of yous as well the entire team. I met you back in 1994 after the NASCAR banquet at the PRI show. To say the least you were a little under the weather. I would love just sit down and listen to you. Your knowledge of history and life is great. I hope you get it in a book someday. I recall most of what you covered today as I was there watching the races. The details you add are great. I was raised a Goodyear brat here in Akron so racing was our life here too. Thanks again Scott
So glad you had these two men on together. What wonderful memories for you and them, Dale. So glad to see Chocolate doing so well physically. I'm a Hospice Nurse and just so wonderful to hear those positive stories of bearing, holding off, stopping and slowing down cancer so people can live each day with a thankful heart.
Podcast is much better with just Dale Jr hosting. The other dude seemed like a good man, but when you have a superstar you don't always need a sidekick
@@Halfstep2024Dale is really entertaining, especially the stories he has. I like listening as if it’s a 3 person conversation with Dale and Mike with myself just listening. Sometimes the sidekick can be a lil too much though, not saying Mike was or wasn’t. But I concur with you, I liked Mike for the most part. But I’m really here to hear what Dale has to say.
@@thekrls1 All valid points and well put. I agree I’m here for Dale and his take on everything idk Mike just grew on me and I find myself naturally not being as into it with him not there for some reason. Can’t explain it lol
I love the Dale Junior download ! Think of all the stuff we wouldn’t have been able to hear about without Junior doing interviews with the old-time guys.
Another great DJD! Great to see Chocolate doing well, and Kurt also. At 69 years old I remember a lot of the subjects of their stories. I agree with them about what you’ve done for the sport. Your impact on the sport is way bigger than you know. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you!
My mom called one day and asked if I had heard of Chocolate Meyers. She assumed he was famous. I said I did and she told me he moved in their neighborhood. Got to meet him. Gave my wife and I a tour of his house and showed us all of the memorabilia from back in the day including Winston Cup trophies. Very nice man. Bigger fan now.
That's awesome ❤
He is a great guy from what we've learned... Little ruff though early on lol
I will never forget this hulk of a man, who had just lost his friend, break down into a pile of tears when Harvick won that Atlanta race.
@@brad8346 and then him being the first one to Jr's car at Daytona that July.
@@alfee9411 They all were early on lol... The good ol days of NASCAR is a speck in the review mirror. This podcast is awesome to go back and learn a ton of stuff you never knew.
Give Choc a co-host job! Or put him on another pod cast. His stories are priceless!
I agree. I would listen to him reading the back of a shampoo bottle lol
He’s one of those guys who is telling the stories at a party and making everyone laugh and cry.
I dont know how anyone can listen to Chocolate and not just grin the the whole time. Dude is a ball of warmth.
I agree
Amen sir
Awesome show top 5
As Adele senior fan growing up you heard the name chocolate Myers but until you hear the voice and The Man Behind The Voice this man needs to have his own podcast too oh my God what a show today love the podcast but this is probably the best show yet in my book
I was like 7 or 8 years old and was at the race in Daytona and you won the race and your pit crew ended up throwing all of your lug nuts into the stands. One ended up hitting me in the nose (minimum damage lol) I was fine. What was so cool about it is a guy in the stands who didn’t even know me went down and grabbed it and brought it to the nurse station and gave it to me and I still have it until this day!!!!!!! I just wanted to write you and see if you remember that. It’s one of the many crazy cool things that have happened in my life! Thank yall for busting my nose lol. I love telling this story to people! God bless 🙏🏼
Dale Jr. is so authentic and he truly has made a bigger impact on the sport than his dad did in very different ways. Thanks for saying that Kirk.
Dale, please, please, please do a 1979 type series on this crew! They have such an insight into your dad and his career, plus they are such interesting men! They are the next part of the Becoming Earnhardt story.
Great idea 💡
Excellent idea!
completely different group tho right?
I concur.
Chocolate has one of the coolest voices of all time.
He sounds like Tim Wilson
Chocolate MEYERS IS AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION! Thank you so much for having him back…
About a year ago a buddy and I were lucky enough to get a tour of the museum from Danny Lawerence and Mike Dillion. It was a privilege and an honor to experience the museum from legends at RCR and NASCAR as a whole. Going to the museum is like traveling back in time 30-50 years ago. If anyone wants to visit the museum I would recommend getting a tour from the people at RCR. The items in the museum are amazing but nothing will ever beat the experience of listening to stories from the people that lived it. Thank you for coming on the show Chocolate and Kurt.
Jr if you ever wondered if your dad and mom would be proud, brother you bring back the best days of NASCAR and the family you and Amy have, I'm proud and I know they are
I'm a new NASCAR fan and don't know who these 2 guys are... let me just say, "wow, what an episode" love the nostalgia and helping me understand the history of the sport
Kirk was Dale Sr.’s crew chief and Chocolate was his tire man . They were a whole crew who earned a lot of respect .
@@donnaturner5035 ive since done my research on them! thanks for the info!
I'm Sorry to hear that your New to NASCAR....you Missed the Best and Most Exciting Years!! 😢 I've left being a NASCAR fan due to Moving Away from its Grass Roots! 😢🥀💔🇺🇲
@@da_blade5040 hey, I get it. Same thing happened with ARA Rally.. hell, even NFL and NBA aint like the good ol days. But we still watch.
@@donnaturner5035Chocolate was the gas man
Having these older Nascar people on to relive the high and low points , and me being old enough to remember many of highs and lows is great.
This is the best show ever and you guys have done a lot of great shows. I’m 54 years old wishing I could have been in one of those pit crews in the 80s and 90s.
I'm 53 and I agree completely.
We're the same age -i liked it better when the 3 was the bad guy !
Man, I love these stories. I’m literally in tears from the memories… I wish there was a hockey and every sport show like this. Will you bring the old timers in and tell stories… Get them before they’re gone💪🏼🏁🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Dale, the compliments those two gents gave you at the end of the interview were the best you can get from two of the best there are. My gosh I hope you are proud and know what you mean to this sport.

I agree wholeheartedly ❤
Episodes like this are why I tune in every week. Telling these stories will make sure the legacy of Dale Sr and the whole team will live on.
Dale tell chocolate I had that lymphoma challenge and when they told me my chemo would be more drastic I said I don’t want to go that often for that long let’s do the chemo I had in the first place it wasn’t as intensive.

Two very special men.. I could listen to their stories forever.. Thanks Jr. for making this episode.. One of your best!!..😉😉

I love seeing these 3 together talking shop. Great to see Kirk again and Chocolate. Plus, glad to hear Chocolate is in remission.
I could listen to you all forever..The legend of Dale by the flying aces
As good as it gets. True legends...all 3. Thank you.
My heart is full and I am enjoying this episode so much. I love hearing the stories and memories of the races that are being discussed. These guys are so special to me 🏁😎🏁
This was my favorite show, Kirk and chocolate are my all time favorite crew guys.. and thank you Dale Jr for doing all you do !!
That smile when JR got those goggles …. Legit worth the whole show …. Love this podcast

Growing up in Charlotte and as a racing fan, I love the stories and history that Dale Jr is saving and cherishing.
Dale Sr was a year older than me and I've watched him from his earliest days on dirt right to his NASCAR success.
The "Flying Aces" were a true family that built a legendary team.
This was a GREAT episode as told by three really great racing guys.
I hope Choc can totally win his health battle !
That could’ve went on all day and I would’ve never gotten tired of
Listening to these guys. Jr. you outdone yourself on this one. Always wanted to meet Chocolate and the other guys also. Greatest pit crew ever in my opinion. Thank you for the video. Bruce in Wv!!!

Thank you Dale for what you do for this sport. I’m proud of you
I Loved the Flying Aces...Greatest Time in Nascar...3 for Life...
I finally made it to Kannoplis to see Dale's statue
One heck of a great conversation.

Love these old history days.
Thanx, Jr!
Absolutely one of my favorite shows! I never miss one! I sure do love the ones with people that loved Dale and love you. Very touching memories they shared!
Spun Bodine and he didn't know it. Love it. Chocolate and Kirk are what i love about old Nascar. Old school guys.
What a great interview. Love Chocolate. Glad his health is better. He tells great stories and has so much history with so many people in racing.

What an awesome show. Great work Dirty Mo team!
Junior this was definitely one of my favorites. I'm so glad you brought Kirk and Chocolate on together. It really brought back so many memories for me being a dedicated Earnhardt fan forever. The Flying Aces were definitely the best. I would love to have one of those t-shirts!!! I 100% agree with them, you have done so much for this sport, your mom and dad would be so proud of you, watching you grow up on the racetrack I am so proud of you!!!! Chocolate will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers. His attitude and positivity is absolutely awesome!!!!
So cool to hear the stories from Chocolate & Kurt. Thank you, Dale, for keeping the history of the sport alive.
Thank you Dale for bringing some of these stories to life.
Incredibly good conversation… Choc is a treasure … I wish him all the best.
Bugs hairfield was the richmond late model shop. Where they used the jig to straighten the frame
Thank you so much for this one. 2 of the greatest and 2 of my favorites.
Having these guys on is a real blast from the past! Awesome show, as usual! Keep them old school guests coming!
Dale Jr. pulled together a great interview with Chocolate and Kirk. That #3 Goodwrench team of Richard Childress Racing with Dale Earnhardt and the infamous “Flying Aces” pit crew accomplished so much together in the NASCAR Cup Series. Championship seasons in 1986,1987, 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1994. Thanks so much Dale Jr. for the rich conversation with Chocolate and Kirk. We look forward to more about the Flying Aces.
Thank you!
Amazing show! You can feel the genuine love for not only the sport but each other and at the end of the day…..that’s what matters. Thanks guys
I was at the Winston where the pass in the grass happened. I was a Elliott fan. Dale won that race because Bill thought he was going to wreck when Dale got all 4 wheels back on the track. The difference between Dale and Elliott or Bodine was his naked desire to win. No one wanted to win more than Dale Sr.That was his super power
I always love and look forward to any time you get Kick and Chocolate on the show.
This is my favorite interview that I have watched on Dirty Mo! Great seeing you guys together in one place with the old stories.
I was at the spring race in Bristol 1987. Wrangler won that race. Richard Petty run 2nd. Rusty led a lot of laps. Been a Earnhardt fan all my life I cried the day he lost his life. Attendance that day was 35,000. I live in Edmonton,Ky. Dale Jr in my mind you took his place I’ve followed you since the first race you run in the Busch series. Your Friend, Ronnie Miller.
That was such a great discussion you had with those two. Excellent interview. I followed your dad back in the day. I'm in my 70's and really enjoy hearing the old school boys. Thanks Jr.
It would be hard to argue, jr isn’t one of the biggest NASCAR fan of them all , love hearing all the stories 🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸thanks Man
wow! So many stories. so much love and admiration for each other. Thank you for sharing you dad's life and the things we would never know without you bringing it and the guests on the show.
My favorite memory was the first time Jr won at Daytona and watching Chocolate run across the grass from his pit to give him a congratulations hug.
The was such a awesome show I love hearing these old stories ❤
This was an incredible show. Thank you everyone at DirtyMo for doing what you do. 🙏🏼
Another wonderful episode that was so emotional. Thank you Dale, Jr for all you do! Your fans are so proud of you too!! 🧡
Every day is a good day but some days are better than others
Thanks for this podcast. Thanks for taking us subscriber's along for the ride. 👍✌️🤙🤙😁😎🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.
That was an awesome episode! Keep em coming! Chocolate is a dang treasure! Hall of Famer!!
Thank you for having Chocolate on. I could listen to his stories forever. ❤️
Met Chocolate at the coast getting gas a couple years ago. I went up to him and told him I was from his neck of the woods. He was just like you see here. Friendly with that big smile. This was not long after he found out about his situation. I'm convinced what you see here is who he is.
I love hearing from the crews. I loved Dales dad number 3 rocks
I had the privilege of meeting Chocolate at the Sprint Cup Ceremony years ago. One of my most cherished memories. Super nice guy. Another classic DJD episode!
Chocolate has a voice that is one of a kind and when I hear it on the radio I have no doubt who it is
one of the most amazing and best shows of all time!!!!!!!.....
Jr I doubt you will ever read this but it sure is nice.... you seem to have achieved something that very few of us can. Contentment.
What a wonderful thing.
A lot of things in your life but contentment. Nice.
I'm an old guy. I'm still trying to
This video is awesome and I love it so much. The love hearing stories about Dale they mean a lot to me.
So glad you guys started uploading the full podcast to RUclips. As weird as it is I can’t pay attention to just the podcast but when there’s video it helps
Best one yet! You need to have chocolate kirk and Richard all on at once love the story's about dale
Wow what a show!!! Perhaps the best show EVER!!!!
So much to say about Chocolate and his lovely wife Caron...but I'll keep it short...
Hung out a little in the 90's...treasured our time together!
The quiet wisdom he bestowed upon me is priceless!!
Love you Choc and Caron!!
👍🤠 Listening to Chocolate brought back memories. I had stage 4 lymphoma also, I stayed positive and beat it with chemo and radiation. Sense then have had 2 more separate cancers. Same aditude . Always said that my Wife and daughter had it harder than I did.
Danny God bless you. I have been a fan of yous as well the entire team. I met you back in 1994 after the NASCAR banquet at the PRI show. To say the least you were a little under the weather. I would love just sit down and listen to you. Your knowledge of history and life is great. I hope you get it in a book someday. I recall most of what you covered today as I was there watching the races. The details you add are great. I was raised a Goodyear brat here in Akron so racing was our life here too. Thanks again Scott
I think this was the best show ever.
Would be awesome to have a reunion of Dale’s crew on set
Chocolate has so many great stories. I didn't know about his health issues until now, glad he is doing well. Great interview as always Dale!
So glad you had these two men on together. What wonderful memories for you and them, Dale. So glad to see Chocolate doing so well physically. I'm a Hospice Nurse and just so wonderful to hear those positive stories of bearing, holding off, stopping and slowing down cancer so people can live each day with a thankful heart.
Love these stories. Choc is the best, remembers everything!
Podcast is much better with just Dale Jr hosting. The other dude seemed like a good man, but when you have a superstar you don't always need a sidekick
Absolutely. Mike got on my last nerve. Never needed him. Good move
I always enjoyed Mike’s input and I find myself really not being into it as much as I was with him there. Guess I’m on my own little island here 😂
@@Halfstep2024Dale is really entertaining, especially the stories he has. I like listening as if it’s a 3 person conversation with Dale and Mike with myself just listening. Sometimes the sidekick can be a lil too much though, not saying Mike was or wasn’t. But I concur with you, I liked Mike for the most part. But I’m really here to hear what Dale has to say.
@@thekrls1 All valid points and well put. I agree I’m here for Dale and his take on everything idk Mike just grew on me and I find myself naturally not being as into it with him not there for some reason. Can’t explain it lol
Couldn't disagree more... something is just missing without Mike Davis... still great, but those two have a certain chemistry irreplaceable...
I love the Dale Junior download ! Think of all the stuff we wouldn’t have been able to hear about without Junior doing interviews with the old-time guys.
The smile on Jr's face when Chocolate gave him Sr's goggles was priceless!!! As a lifelong Earnhardt fan, that made my ❤ smile!!! 😊😊😊
This was even better the second time I watched. Awesome show man.
YESSS! we live for these episodes!
Another great DJD! Great to see Chocolate doing well, and Kurt also. At 69 years old I remember a lot of the subjects of their stories. I agree with them about what you’ve done for the sport. Your impact on the sport is way bigger than you know. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you!
One moment I'll never forget is seein the emotion on Chocolate's face when Harvick won for the first time in 01 , Atlanta i believe it was !!!!
