      “Car 51” is what the car was at Indy that Dale wouldn’t run but it was the car Kevin was comfortable in for that type of track and mileage and he won Atlanta and Chicago in car 51 painted 29 and didn’t win any other races because they were Dales cars and they didn’t suit Kevin’s comfort level

    I think one of the reasons Earnhardts 2000 season was so good was because they had Harvick testing. The fact Earnhardt wouldnt test is wild. He was too busy. You needed to test back then. Thankfully they had someone like Harvick around.

      @@yankee4424In my opinion he'd like Ross the most, and Joey (not if Dale raced him though) a lot. Given Larson is a bit like Gordon/Busch, he probably wouldn't like him much but would respect his skill. He'd dislike Hamlin, like Brad, like Blaney (shocker), like Erik Jones (he'd realize how good he is in good equipment) like the Buschs, but not racing against them haha. He probably wouldn't be too fond of Chase Elliot. Just my opinion though.

    Bless him. Dale was resistant to any change of his "norm". Gave the man a car almost a full second faster, but because it wasn't set up the way he thought it should he refused to drive it. Must be why he was called Iron Head.

    Btw I dealt with this same issue. I raced from 4-25yrs old. Stock, sprint, winged sprint, legend. Now I watch my 6 kids. But all 21yrs. All the older guys or car owners. Would try to set my car up with a 1980-1990 setup. Why? Because the first success they had was with that setup in that time frame. But they fail to realize the cars, shocks, springs, aero packages, tires etc all had changed. As a result my #1 rule is. ALL SETUPS HAVE A 1yr expiration date and need to be re-certified yearly! If aeropackages are changed it will change everything. Sometimes only a 1% change. Other times 75% change. That rule was born as a result of me being paranoid I would end up like the old guys using outdated setups. It’s so easy to fall in that trap when your in the moment. By nature all Drivers hate change! So with my kids I’m very aware. When I build a new car they will complain or resist. Not because they don’t like it. It’s simply because drivers hate change. You gotta be mature enough and acknowledge it. So you can put pressure to help them change. Literally every new race car, my daughter loves it after she races it 1-2x. But I still have to force her to drive the new car. Just because the confidence gets ripped out from under a driver everytime you change something. They fear the specific car or setup is why they’ve won so much. So taking that car away, rolling in a new race car. They fear they’ve just lost something. Not realizing the new car is 50% better.

      He started to loosen up "a bit" once DEI was up and running and Dale JR proved he had what it took in Busch and then in Cup. I always to this day constantly think about what it would be like now if that awful day didn't happen. That day really scarred my heart badly. Just thinking about now makes my eyes well up.
