He was just a kid working in the Quick Lube center at Earnhardt Chevrolet...and he happened to be the "Up top" guy, who puts the oil IN... and signs the bottom of the receipt. Nice pics of HIS car parked there too.
I lived in Newton and I aggravated the living daylights out of Dale and Jr. They treated me with so much kindness and I wouldn’t take anything for those days.
Thats what made him what he is today, i had garage passes at the 05 Daytona 500 and actually was able to talk to him foor about 10min. Its a time I'll never forget, he is so down to earth. Just a great guy and his dad would be proud.
@@aaronanderson7619 I think you're right. After the fire that left he, his sister and mother homeless, his mother forced Sr. to take the kids and raise them. In turn, Sr. packed the kids off and sent them to a military academy. Then later, when Sr. felt that Jr. had no direction, he put Jr. off on a friend to shape up for adulthood.
@@aaronanderson7619 His mother wanted him to have opportunities but lacked the resources to provide them, which is how he ended up with his dad, because his mother knew Sr. could provide what was needed.
If I was 18-19 yr old, I would have said to that service manager: "Listen, I don't think you realize that MY NAME is on that sign outside. What is it you wanted me to do with my tool box?" I'm glad things worked out for Jr.
He did EXACTLY that. When he came back to get his last paycheck, he put his arm around the manager and walked him outside, pointed up at the name on the dealership and told him that he was 2 letters away from being fired.
Good for him not staying at work for free. If I'm at work doing something they want then I'm on the clock. Clint Eastwood didn't silver spoon his son either.
My thoughts exactly.. Ive been fired more than once for not willing to work overtime for free or come to work for just a couple of hours knowing the commute costs more than I make those hours.. and have ZERO regrets of that! Minimum wage means Im doing the absolute minimum I can get away with.. If you want me to be serious and enthousiastic, make my salary reflect that or dont bother giving me a job..
100% in agreement. I don't work for free. Glad he stood up for himself. "You need to find out if this job is really important to you or not." "You need to figure out if you are going to pay me or not Bossman. That determines how important the job is." That would have been my response, with more colorful language.
I owned a trucking company and had a terminal in South Holland I'll as well as Texas. A new shop manager had been hired in I'll and I didn't know it and since I owned the joint I had keys to everything so I'd just run my truck into an open bay and fix it. He came in one morning and saw me working on an "off the sheet" truck and proceeded to "fire" me!! Until I said "uh, my name's kinda on the door, ya cant fire me!!" We became great friends after that!!
Their were Dale #3 fans and Bill #9 fans, but on that day God called Dale home we found we were all Dale #3 fans, haven’t really kept up with NASCAR since. The man in Black made racing interesting and he was never boring!
I've always or atleast for a very long time, I have been saying the same thing, well before he past away, and its beyond my understanding that most people didn't understand how he made the racing exciting and interesting and had them arguing week in and week out...Dale owned all the fans too, in one way or another
Definitely one of the best dudes are is out there man Dale jr. Went through what a lot of us go through just because his dad was Dale Earnhardt senior he didn't have that silver spoon in his mouth he had to work for what he had what makes him the kind of guy that he is man he's a top-notch A1 Super dude
I work at a dealership and it’s funny to hear JR talk about the jackass service manager planning to ‘fix’ the department. If Dale Earnhardt’s car dealership needed to be ‘Fixed’ just goes to show it’s the same BS at every shop.
Man I know this is a old comment from ya but I think the “jackass”service manager is my dad, he’s a figure it out or get out the way type of guy forsure lol
Sad that the Mgr was asking something illegal, and then responded by illegally firing someone for refusing to do the thing. I bet they didn't last too long.
Thing is, Jr was absolutely correct. Regardless of it being his dad's business, it's what they do. Try to extract as much labor with the least amount of compensation.
Jr should have attended the meeting and stayed on the clock. But sometimes the kick in the pants is for the best! It led him to his true career path and future successes!
When I owed a tire shop I never did that, you had to attend a meeting it was always on the clock. That was illegal it is against federal and most state labor standards to make a person stay for a off the clock meeting and that was over 32 years ago. Most of the time if I needed a meeting it was at the start of the day. That way I kept it short and we get out of there fast.
Dale(#3) is my 7th cousin. 1741 Johannes Earnhardt left Bavaria with 10 kids. I am direct from henri.(son of Johannes) Dale is direct from johan.(son of Johannes)
I asked that same question for the Ask Jr segment of the Dale Jr Download and he was kind enough to answer. Long story short he was promoted to customer some time later. Not sure if he said how long it took but it wasn't immediate.
I don’t blame Jr for hating the commute. I live in Concord (just outside of Mooresville where the Earnhardt’s were living then) and it takes a good 45 minutes to an hour like he said to get over there to Conover
I have some friends that work at Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet in Newton and have for many years... Truth be told.... Dale jr. Got fired many times because he wouldn't go to work and when he got there he did what he felt like doing and not necessarily what he was assigned to do...... Truth is Dad got him his job back many times.... So yes the spoiled kid didn't make too many friends at the dealership
First bit of truth I have read in the comments so far. I believe Dale J. liked to do things the night before which made him not want to work the next day.
LOL, dealerships do that all the time, though. They have service meetings during your lunch hour, after hours, before work, and you're not getting paid.
I myself work at a Chevy dealership, doing the same thing as Jr did, lead "hourly tech" guy in the shop. If my manager ever asked me to stay after work for a work related meeting and not be on the clock, I'd leave too! I wouldnt even need to be told to pack my tool box, I'd already be doing that! I don't want to work for a manager who clearly does not give a flying f**k about you, or any laws there may be. Good on you Jr.
He really wasn't working for free cause his dad owned the dealership and Jr was going to get the dealership and money when his dad died. But that didn't happen cause Dale died to soon and Teresa stole all the money. It's why she's the most hated lady in NASCAR
Ya if I am the Manager I'm surely never firing or remotely pissing off the owner's son. Maybe he thought he was already doomed and the only way to impress Sr. was the off chance Sr. would be impressed by the balls it took to fire his son.
If I’m Dale senior I’m driving straight into my dealership with Dale Jr in tow and I’m firing that service manager on the spot. How you going to fire MY son from MY store after you demand he work without pay.
read between the lines.dale loved his son but didn't let his feelings be known only with a hug off the track or a proud smile Teresa wanted Jr and Kelli out of the picture she got her wish now Jr doesn't call her mom as far as I know damn Teresa E.
Dale it's a shame that I asked your foundation for help. Sorry about that. I don't usually ask for help. I am ,or was a homeless veteran here in Asheville North Carolina. I lost my family and I was taking care of my sister who had a 6 year old boy.She passed away in 2015 and the state came and got my nephew the same day she died of breast cancer. I helped her take care of her during her chemotherapy and she died at 48 years old . The state got my nephew the same day she died. I had no where to go but to a homeless veterans quarters in Asheville. I lost basically my whole family and I had asked if you cou6help me get a car through your foundation. No luck there. Since then I have been able to get my own place and a good job at a factory in black mountain NC. I just recently bought a 2009 lexus rx 350 with 184 thousand miles. I'm trying to do the best I can Dale it needs tires and I am just trying to be a good citizen to my community. I hate asking for any kind of help but I sure could use it right now. My drivers window quit working two days ago. I don't have money for tires much less fix my window. If you find it in your heart to help a ex homeless veteran I would sure appreciate it. My e maim address is thomaswoody006@gmail.com. my phone number is 828 279 7251. I love your podcast and I miss your dad . Nascar isn't the same without my favorite driver . Rest in peace # 3.
Nobody was asked to work it was a meeting. It happens all the time in every dealership, especially on the sales side. Day off or not you are expected to be at a meeting when you say so.
Sounds like a weirdo slipped into the mix. Making people stick around for nothing isn’t even a rational thought. I worked a job for several years. I- we all agreed to the terms of our employment. We were all very well compensated for our time. Which was 24-7 until the job was complete. Sometimes it took 4 or 5 days sometimes a few months. We made serious money. After it all ended someone was sore about being out of work and complained that we did not get paid overtime while working. It wasn’t written into our pay agreement. The job we did mainly consisted of sitting down and doing nothing for hours on end literally. We were just a warm body for accountability. If something went wrong we fixed it or got fired. The powers that be sent me a ton of paperwork to sign so that I could be compensated for overtime. Stating it was already settled and everyone deserved it. I refused it based on principle. I agreed. I was very satisfied with the pay I was blessed to have received. I was not willing to participate in what amounted to someone throwing a fit after the fact.
Wow that's pretty crazy,even senior was surprised,hey but know this my grandpa was a big cheese at coke and he never like those after work meeting either Dale they'd have to work a 10 hour day,go home put a suit on and listen to some executive who did know squat about selling Coca cola,and my gramps was never shy about telling them that either,but hey it worked out,me I have never benefited from drivingvfar to do my job...people want u to suck up that gas bill I tell no way.most good company's if you drive 60 mile round trip they pay for your commute...if they don't I telling kiss this,I'm gone.
If more parent would inforce etics in there childern,the welfare line would be a lot shorter,sure he had a privalged life but if he did half of the stuff his old man did for charits and under privalged kids he could run for governor in North Carolina and win it on intagraty alone, rip senior
just to enlighten you. More money goes to Corporate Welfare than individual welfare. Getting welfare in general is hard, I know, I got food stamps after 2 heart attacks. I had to prove I was poor ( I was ) and it was limited to 3 years. I used up 2 years worth. I got no cash, just 192 a month in food for someone who had very little energy and with congestive heart failure, couldn't have more than 1000mg of sodium per day. Eating low sodium is super expensive, cost way more than 192/month. There are folks who abuse the system but they are 1-3% max, the other 97+ % are given hell for it. The budget for "welfare" is very low compared to the breaks the Feds/States give big corp. Are you bitching about their free money ? If you were ever really poor in your life, you would know the actual truth of it and not the Fox talking points. I am white, I know way more white ppl getting help that POC. When I got the help I couldn't make more than $800/month or I would lose it. It was either make $900 and no food help or $800 and get help. That is the problem with the system, if you make just a little too much you lose it all.
@@batsonelectronics 97% try like 50%. I have grown up around government recipients all my life and half of them are committing fraud and making way more than they claim by working under the table and our selling hard drugs
@@chadbrochill9945 Look up your facts. Vets are a large recipient of welfare. Florida used to force drug tests, it found < 0.5% were dirty. The cost to drug test cost more than the money it got back in denying claims. Also, most are kids getting SNAP. That is just food, no actual cash. When I got food I couldn't make more than 700/month or lose it. It is crazy. If I made 701 I lost the food. maybe many make more than allowed but it is not a lot more. I only got 192/month for food. If you don't have kids and your not disabled you don't get cash, only food help. Having went thru the process, it is harder to get than most people say and it isn't much when you do qualify.
@@batsonelectronics What do drug tests have to do with this I didn't say drug addicts were recieving aid I said drug dealers are. Most dealers dont use their own stuff
@@chadbrochill9945 I know dealers ( well long ago anyway ) and many of them do use their stuff. It is tv fallacy to say they don't. Many dealers become dealers to pay for their own habit. Drug conviction also keeps you from getting SNAP or WIC. Like I said earlier, your beliefs about those who get gov help are not correct. Stop watching tv. Look up research on it. Get educated.
If you agree to stay once off the clock, you will be expected to do other things off the clock too. What a prick for a manager. I would have told everybody his name.
Yrgg2004 WTF. It is illegal to ask or expect people to work, or attend work related meetings off the clock. Jr was absolutely right and Dale Sr should have fired that POS service manager.
He did the right thing by stating his concerns and then asking his dad for advice before getting fired. I’d say he was being smart and responsible. As a guy who’s worked since I was allowed to and now a business owner I would never expect an employee to work for free whether it’s a meeting or not.
I myself work at a Chevy dealership, doing the same thing as Jr did, lead "hourly tech" guy in the shop. If my manager ever asked me to stay after work for a work related meeting and not be on the clock, I'd leave too! I wouldnt even need to be told to pack my tool box, I'd already be doing that! I don't want to work for a manager who clearly does not give a flying f**k about you, or any laws there may be. Good on you Jr.

Dude. I want to see a picture of that.

That "stay after work for an unpaid meeting" is straight up illegal. He did the right thing. An hourly worker trades his time for pay.
Junior changed my oil back in the day. He did autograph my receipt.
i've been a tech for 30 + years. these type of service managers are a large part of the reason people get ripped off taking their car in for repairs.
@silverbird58 Oh! That would not be a positive.point about that job! At least if they knew their WW2 history.

let him talk quit butting in. disrespectful. and all these people do it and need too stop.

That dealership is right down the road from my house.
I go past it all the time.
In the middle of nowhere.
I think Dale Sr was telling Jr to go to the meeting and tell the boss he's there to work or to tell the boss to shove it 😂
CaN yOu FIX a cAR?!?

I know this is gonna sound like every other RUclips comment but I really fuckin think that manager that fired Jr was my dad 😂
My dad actually became a manager at that shop back in the 90’s in NC, and knowin my dad, this story fuckin tracks dude

Wow that's pretty crazy,even senior was surprised,hey but know this my grandpa was a big cheese at coke and he never like those after work meeting either Dale they'd have to work a 10 hour day,go home put a suit on and listen to some executive who did know squat about selling Coca cola,and my gramps was never shy about telling them that either,but hey it worked out,me I have never benefited from drivingvfar to do my job...people want u to suck up that gas bill I tell no way.most good company's if you drive 60 mile round trip they pay for your commute...if they don't I telling kiss this,I'm gone.

just to enlighten you. More money goes to Corporate Welfare than individual welfare. Getting welfare in general is hard, I know, I got food stamps after 2 heart attacks. I had to prove I was poor ( I was ) and it was limited to 3 years. I used up 2 years worth. I got no cash, just 192 a month in food for someone who had very little energy and with congestive heart failure, couldn't have more than 1000mg of sodium per day. Eating low sodium is super expensive, cost way more than 192/month. There are folks who abuse the system but they are 1-3% max, the other 97+ % are given hell for it. The budget for "welfare" is very low compared to the breaks the Feds/States give big corp. Are you bitching about their free money ? If you were ever really poor in your life, you would know the actual truth of it and not the Fox talking points. I am white, I know way more white ppl getting help that POC. When I got the help I couldn't make more than $800/month or I would lose it. It was either make $900 and no food help or $800 and get help. That is the problem with the system, if you make just a little too much you lose it all.
@@batsonelectronics 97% try like 50%. I have grown up around government recipients all my life and half of them are committing fraud and making way more than they claim by working under the table and our selling hard drugs
@@chadbrochill9945 Look up your facts. Vets are a large recipient of welfare. Florida used to force drug tests, it found < 0.5% were dirty. The cost to drug test cost more than the money it got back in denying claims. Also, most are kids getting SNAP. That is just food, no actual cash. When I got food I couldn't make more than 700/month or lose it. It is crazy. If I made 701 I lost the food. maybe many make more than allowed but it is not a lot more. I only got 192/month for food. If you don't have kids and your not disabled you don't get cash, only food help. Having went thru the process, it is harder to get than most people say and it isn't much when you do qualify.
@@batsonelectronics What do drug tests have to do with this I didn't say drug addicts were recieving aid I said drug dealers are. Most dealers dont use their own stuff
@@chadbrochill9945 I know dealers ( well long ago anyway ) and many of them do use their stuff. It is tv fallacy to say they don't. Many dealers become dealers to pay for their own habit. Drug conviction also keeps you from getting SNAP or WIC. Like I said earlier, your beliefs about those who get gov help are not correct. Stop watching tv. Look up research on it. Get educated.
Would have fired Dale too..lol Disrespectful at his dads business.
You expect people to work for free? Dumb bitch
I would have left too! Whoever posted that is a moron!!
If you agree to stay once off the clock, you will be expected to do other things off the clock too. What a prick for a manager. I would have told everybody his name.
Yrgg2004 WTF. It is illegal to ask or expect people to work, or attend work related meetings off the clock. Jr was absolutely right and Dale Sr should have fired that POS service manager.
He did the right thing by stating his concerns and then asking his dad for advice before getting fired. I’d say he was being smart and responsible. As a guy who’s worked since I was allowed to and now a business owner I would never expect an employee to work for free whether it’s a meeting or not.
I myself work at a Chevy dealership, doing the same thing as Jr did, lead "hourly tech" guy in the shop. If my manager ever asked me to stay after work for a work related meeting and not be on the clock, I'd leave too! I wouldnt even need to be told to pack my tool box, I'd already be doing that! I don't want to work for a manager who clearly does not give a flying f**k about you, or any laws there may be. Good on you Jr.
