- Shawna's racing career didn't pan out the way she wanted, but she's someone who will always be remembered. For Dale Earnhardt Jr., she will also be remembered as a woman who stood her ground. The table conversation gets interesting when the two drivers talk about an incident that stemmed from a practice get-together, continued into the race, included a middle-finger and an angry Robinson going to confront Earnhardt in his hauler.
Shawna opens up to Dale Jr. and Mike Davis about some of the challenges she faced throughout her career being a female in a male-dominated sport. She also shares her thoughts on the females who have gripped the wheel after her career and what advantages they have in creating opportunities. But her biggest challenge came outside of the racecar. A cancer diagnosis and rigorous chemotherapy and radiation was just another hurdle for her to jump. Shawna discusses the day she found out the news and how she got through it.

As a lifelong nascar fan, I always wondered what happened to Shawna and I can’t think of anyone better qualified than Jr to share her story after nascar ended for her. Thank you for this episode. Best of luck Shawna and yes, there are people who still remember nascars FIRST LADY!
Sara Christian was the first female nascar driver. 1949. Janet Guthrie was the first in Winston Cup I think 1977.
She was our gens First Lady lol
@@slick-px4pq Sara Christian’s races are considered Cup as that series, the Strictly Stock, was the start of what we know as Cup. Christian was in the first ever Strictly Stock race. The second ever race had THREE women compete, Christian, Ethel Flock Mobley, and Louise Smith.
Yes i often wondered myself and i agree this is the best place to share her story..
The real first lady of NASCAR I started watching in 93 @ 9 years old and I remember having the biggest crush on Shawna so glad she is doing well and still involved somewhat in NASCAR terrific lady too it seems love this show!!!
Thanks Dale and all of you guys for having Shawna on…. Beautiful , Tough person
So glad to hear you’re doing so much better Ms. Shawna 🙏
I have to admit I just clicked on this video for the headline but I’m really glad she shared her cancer story wow
She was a warrior and a trailblazer
The freakin cancer. My only sibling died from non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, mom died from uterine cancer, my dad died from liver cancer. Love to Shawna! 🙌🏼👑
Shawna was great. I feel you ❤
Aging changing us all...
Mike, I feel you 100%. My youngest brother battled Leukemia before losing his battle 5 years ago this month. Like Ms. Robinson, had breast cancer. After the first round of Chemotherapy, she developed a high fever that the doctors couldn't control. At some point she had a bloody nose which would not stop, and she was gone a short time later. My dad like your dad passed away because of liver cancer 4 weeks after my mom. It has been 3 years, but it feels like yesterday. I am so happy to see that Ms. Robinson has been able to keep on enjoying life. Thanks for posting this great interview.
Always rooted for Shawna. Loved watching her race.
So good to see Jr doing so,well with these interviews. His personality brings out the best in the guests and makes for a great program to watch. Good job!
Great interview
I met Shawna at Daytona in 94 and got her autograph. I was a member of her fan club for several years. She is a class act.
well ive met shawna and shes a great person, glad your doing good now girl. thanks Jr for having her on. great story
I think that Jr is the best person in NASCAR ever and his Dad would be so proud. From a psychological point of view you can see where Sr taught Jr to be nicer.
Joshua Farmer, you're absolutely correct !!
No Junior has implied he is nicer because he saw his dad getting booed and hated that
Back in the Bodine vs Earnhardt days.
Junior didn’t like dad wrecking people and being hated…Junior chose to treat people nice.
@@waynewilliams8554 Dale Sr taught Dale Jr things that he didn't fully comprehend until several years later. Dale Sr always insisted that his children would value their success more if they achieved it on their own. They all understand that now. The three older children became successful despite the crap that Teresa put them through. Now, Teresa is a nobody other than her last name.
Lol dale sr was a jerk of a father
@@randyrutherford1186 NOT fully true. Quite often an absent father but never a jerk as a father. Dale Jr's and Kelley's biggest problems were Teresa, and not Dale Sr.
A RACER is a RACER !!! Another awesome post !! My daughters first Diecast was Shawna's Polaroid car!! My daughter is a 34 year old gearhead now.
Hell yeah
Great episode with Shawna !! So glad she came on and mention how the real first women of nascar was slighted. Junior and Mike needs to get other ladies on as well. Thanks for a get episode.
She wasn't the first but was definitely one of the first women to make a showing in nascar 🤷♂️😁
Or did i read your comment wrong? Lol if so i apologize..
Great show Dale. God bless you Shawna, you are one strong person.
Jr. grew up in the generation of showing females respect, regardless of how angry they may get.
There’s 2 ways to argue with a woman. Neither one work.
😂😂😂
Lmao. So true
God Blessed America, Dale Jr's mom, Brenda, and his sister Kelley taught him to be respectful with everybody, not just women.
👍🤠🍺True Dat!!
All the interviews are awesome. But a few are awesome gold, and this is one of them.
I just love how Dale is such a funnel for the history of the sport. It’s perfect. The most popular driver in the history of the sport, NASCAR superstar and icon, son of a legend is still carrying the history of this sport. As a fan of Jr all my life, I’m in awe of the man he has become, he’s someone that everyone can look up to. Even kids today!
Wow. Thanks so much, Junior, for having and posting this conversation, particularly where Shawna is so willing to talk about her Cancer treatment. I'm in the midst of my own Cancer journey (Stage IV Prostate Cancer) and know well the challenges of chemo and radiation therapy. It is not for the feint of heart. Shawna's courage is inspiring.
Wonder if she would want to do the SRX deal. That would be cool. I always respected her being the trail blazer she was.
That would be awesome!!
Glad to see Shawna doing well now. She was much more deserving of the top ride and media coverage than Danica ever was.
This was one of the best interviews I have seen so far, and I watch a lot of Jr's videos. I think Dale is a really great guy besides being one of the great drivers in NASCAR, and listening to both him, and Shawna really makes me have a lot of respect for both of them. I bet she was indeed a tough competitor out on the track. Really nice to watch this.
Shawna was a very good driver. I had heard she went through a bout of cancer. I never knew she went through so much. She's a Warrior!!
Great podcast, as a lifelong racing fan and racer myself, tons of respect to this woman!!
Shawna Robinson was one of my favorite drivers. I know she had a ton of experience but I always felt she just needed a bit more seasoning and she would do better. I think she got more girls and women into racing then Danica Patrick. Girls getting in cars at my local dirt track who aren't even old enough to have watched Shawna race reference her more then any other female driver.
Great Guest! I remembered Shawna running, but I see it totally different now in this day and age. So great to see her and hear her story with us race fans having 2021 point of view. Very glad to hear she is healthy now and going strong.
Shawna was in NASCAR Thunder 2003 (2002) in the #49
Schrader took over the ride after her if I remember right, she had swans as a sponsor and Schrader had ole carrot top on his hood lol
Remember that
@@diychad7268 actually Shawna never had a sponsor in the BAM car. Schrader had call att and schwans
Alot of people probably don't know who Shawna Robison is but I remember her and always respected her getting into a race car great interview
That was 2002. Texas. I remember it well. Junior nation here. She was in a white 49 dodge
The good ol BAM racing car!!😂
Got to meet Shawna at Orange Co Speedway, she and Ward Burton had an incident during practice. She was very kind, while noticeably upset about the situation! Still proudly have her autograph!! Thank you Shawna!!! 😃
Dale, another great video, keep up the awesome work bringing back the racers of the past.👍
jr you are am awesome person the respected you have for people and just being a genuine person and just caring about people is great
And that’s actually how to handle conflicts….get it over and done with, don’t let people run over you and be open to correction. Angry in the moment…..but respect gained on both accounts.
Great interview.
It's crazy I used to do epson salt baths to try to help pain from stage2 of 3 testicular cancer that moved to my back and stomach 13 weeks of chemo no radiation
TY Dale Jr...You give true meaning to the words...All American !! Great Job !!
Shawna I talked to tou on facebook when you had tour scare. Your response made my day. God bless you lady and best wishes
Can ya get some Rusty Wallace on the show? Review some old races and laugh about it. Pretty sure us older fans would love some of that. I like when DW would call him Russel. Fantastic stuff Dale Jr and his crew bring to the sport. Great Job and Thanks!!
Rusty has been on the show before.
Already had Rusty Wallace
Yea go back and watch Rusty was a while ago good interview too
Great Show!!
I'll always remember Shawna Robinson from NASCAR Thunder 2003. Great interview.
just throwing this out there been patiently waiting for that stroker ace movie review!!
C'Mon STEVE!
Or the authentic Six Pack with Kenny Rogers!!
If I remember right, Jr. said something to the effect of "They need to get Shawna some faster race cars because it's hard trying o get around her every few laps". Of course that was right after the wreck and he had a mic shoved in his face asking his opinion on the accident.
This show is TOO good!
I met Shawna at Nazareth in 1993. Got the autograph and the whole bit. Shot the hooey for a bit shortly after a practice session. Fantastic lady she is.
Now we need to see Patty Moise on the Download.
Watched all e of these segments…. Powerful! Thank Jr and Rick for sharing… It was the real deal… Best Always!!
I worked on pit road with her an her team in a ARCA RACE back in the late 90's , still have some souvenirs, thanks Shawna
I love the stories behind the scenes. Keep up these great interviews!
Excellent interview. Thank you
I've got one of her die-cast cars in my stash. Her & Patti's {Racing Champions}. I thought she just never got a good enough car under her, plenty of talent, just never a good enough car to show them off. Congrats to her, glad to hear she's doing so well & healthy.
Wow that's one strong lady right there
Wow Jr! I am so impressed with you and your podcast team. I only just started following you but the range if topics and guests has really got my attention. I was always a fan of your driving but had no idea the real quality of your personality. I'm impressed and I'm not even related, I think your family especially your father would be proud of you
He does such an excellent job of asking questions and then giving his subjects the time and space to answer them.
Love you shawna. Not only is nascar's first lady shes a wonderful human and a great person with a heart of gold. I'm glad weve met since I've moved to Denver NC
Met her at the dari queen in Indy two days before the first Brickyard 400....nice Lady ! 👍👍🏁
Great memories you two!
She is Amazing 👍
I think I remember Dale Jr saying in an interview “They need to get her better equipment because it’s hard to dodge her every 3-4 laps” or something close to that.
I was thinking he had said something like that. I remember him saying after a wreck that it was not her fault that she was doing the best she can with the equipment she has to race with.
I would love to hear about some of the smaller time raceway drivers. I remember a guy named Elden Dotson that raced for him self and my uncle at one point I would like to hear more about.
Surprised the 1994 Busch Light 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway didn't come up. Conversation seemed to be heading that way a few times.
Remember watching her race at I-70 Speedway. Always kept an eye on her after that. If she had Danica press and money would of been a winner.
Glad you made it through, TOUGH WOMAN.
Most people do not know that Dale Jr and Kelley did funds raising efforts for Shawna while she was battling cancer. Also, when Dale Jr was young, he had a big crush on Shawna.
Love the podcast. I remember the wreck!
Shawna Robinson, an awesome lady on and off a race track.
Hey, are full episodes available on you tube?? Would be great to see the whole episode, instead of just pieces. Up in Canada, I don’t get NBCSN.
I am not 100% sure, but the videos are just what they are. If you want to listen to the whole interview, listen to the podcast.
Respect. You can tell jr was raised to respect people and Shawna reminded him about respect.
Shawna finished 24th & dale finished 29th in the 500 :))
What an absolutely fantastic interview!
This is, hands down, the best interview hannel on the planet....no disrespect to Dan Patrick.
I have Shawnas Maxx Race card back in the 90s I just thought she was so smart and brave! Glad to see I was right! Brave and intelligent woman
I remember Shawna from the GATR days. Good stuff.
Jr. is a natural interviewer, it's because he's a confident empath.
Much Respect Due ☝️
Great show,praise the Lord shawna doing better.
I will never forget you Shawna. Your Tony the Tiger car❤️
Wow that's heavy love you girl
This is how an interview should be conducted.
We real race fans will never forget Miss Shawna
Shawnha blaze that trail 👣 I also beat 💓 stage 4 throat cancer and still have my voice thanks to my great Dr's 👍
Keep it up awesome show
YES!!! about damn time she's on!! Met her at "The Oaks' country club. Made her day when I said "I seen you run in NH out qualified dale sr. She had the longest line for autograghs. A young jeff gordon was there. Back when bush south ran against bush north''.. BUT Kelly should have ben there in the room. As she was the only female running in her time. I'm still waitin on my 'happy chair' email..hmm. God Bless SR!
Another great story.
Wow, she was a great interview. You need to put together a round table, of nascars who's who, and make sure she's in it!
Yes they had a VHS back in the day with Cale Yarborough and Richard Petty and Benny Parsons and a few more greats I’m see if I can find the name or pull the VHS out it was so so good
I was fortunate to get to see Shawna racer tractor at Thompson Connecticut
great interview , cool smart woman , never heard of her , she sounds like a great interior designer too
The first time I remember seeing her was in a ARCA race at Daytona. She was mad for coming in 2nd because she followed the driver who was then in 2nd got laps at the end waiting on him to try and pass the leader. She said she was mad because she thought she had a shot at winning if he would have tried to pass the leader sooner.
Great to see Shawna doing so well and lookin' great. Dale has this way of getting people to "spill their guts".
1 of the better shows.what a lady Shawna is
Strong woman! This is a great series…
Love her!
Shawna was a real racer.. In bad cars...god bless her
Well Shauna I can say one thing I did race with you back in Des Moines Iowa at the Iowa state fairgrounds under your dad lefty Robinson cool old guy and you're a cool youngalready glad I got the race with you getting pretty old right now but I certainly appreciate The good old days take care Shawna
😂
I think the race they are talking about was the 600 in Charlotte. I can't remember the year, but I was in attendance when she ran Jr into the wall. It looked accidental to me at the time but Jr fans sitting in front of me was pissed!!
I remember watching shawnas dad jump cars in his semi at the iowa state fairgrounds in the 80's
love your shirts dale
With half about half.the fans being female why has the MEDIA not taped into this well of information as a spoksman for ixfinity.
Hey you didn't miss all the autograph sessions,I remember about 30 years ago you were at a Chevorlet dealer in Freeland Michigan,I drove by but the line was about 1/4 mile long,so I went to dinner
Happy she's doing well now.
Was a bit of a fan of her's, I kept an eye on the ticker to see what position she was in during the race.
When I looked at her stats a few months ago, I was really shocked at how few cup races she was actually in. It felt like she was in about 40 races, but actually only 8 over two years.
I have one of shawnas jackets from when she was with sparky’s racing early in her career .
God is Great!
Thx jr
I loved Shawna Robinson.
Saw her race at Pulaski country speedway (Now Motor Mile) in a Daytona Dash Car she could drive the hell out of a Race car.
