"Are we buildin' this sport up or are we tearin' it down?" That is the ultimate question Dale. Right now it's crumbling to the point where I have a hard time bringing myself to even watch every weekend. Thinking 'what BS are we gonna have to see or hear now?' When I saw the empty seats scattered along the frontstretch at Texas I tend to believe some people are thinking the same thing. Also, ticket prices are getting ridiculous.
Ticket pricing has gone down but okay. You are tearing it down. You can have opinions but when you stop watching then your opinion doesn't matter. Also... It's still racing. Stage racing only made them race harder.
Prices have gone down? Not from what I've seen. Maybe if you want a seat in the nosebleeds. They might throw in a discount on them. From what I saw for prices at Texas it seems you have to save up for a year ahead of time to just go to one race. Excuse me if I don't make 70k+ a year like some do. Cheaper to watch at home. From what I saw at Texas must be quite a few more people agree.
@@wolverineprime2886 I mean, if $70 for a weekend ticket up high where you can see everything is expensive, that's not on the sport. Oh, and that ticket use to be $100 for one day.
Nascar lives in the grey area. They blatantly make rules up and decide when they want to follow the established ones on the spot. It's part of the reason why viewership has gone down over the years.
I agree with Junior, Especially with the one liners insults. Doing that or the things with the billboards is not professional....it’s offensive and it’s disrespectful to the drivers who are coming there to put on a show, IMO. Tracks doing such things look as if they are desperate and lack the imagination on promoting their track.
The Hemrich one was really over the line... something along the lines of "Bet he wishes his last name was Dillon!" Really seemed like a low blow and uncalled for.
@@aloysiusdevadanderabercrom6401 If insults and unprofessionalism is what you get when visiting Texas that’s certainly nothing for Texans to be proud of. I imagine Motorsports come there because there’s a fan base and market for it.
As a LOOONG time Nascar fan , I would have to say what you do not need is a driver calling the fans crybabies and telling them (at a race) that "if you do not like how I race , don't come and watch" as Kyle did. I lost something for NASCAR and Kyle Busch that very day. My dad was like many others and always said " Never bite the hand that feeds you." As far as deliberate cautions it has been happening ever since (at least) when I was racing motorcycles in 1970 and I would have to guess long before that.
So I got called in I think in 98’ or 99’ and was taught a valuable lesson. The big cheese made it clear. They don’t care what I do to my car but it can’t be obvious!” I was told “if you sit on the pole week after week, the press will catch on eventually and then they will start asking questions which will force us to RIP YOUR CAR APART BEFORE THE RACE” . - It was actually hilarious. Because he said in a (dirtysouth- southern accent) “I don’t care if yall install some of those new high-technologies compuuuhhhters in and have that damn car doing back flips down the straight away! But don’t you dare have that car jumping the catch fence during practice, qualifying, then turn around and do it in the race!” - other words what he meant was. Either be fast at qualifying and run middle pack during the race. Or qualify 7-15th and win the race. But don’t be just blatantly making it obvious your up to NOO good. - I learned all the series will let you get away with a lot as long as it doesn’t become there problem! Hence Media asking questions about your car or on track activities. Then they have to do something so the series doesn’t appear like it lets people do whatever they want. - you lose credibility with sponsors and they don’t wanna pay millions to be in a race they know they don’t stand a chance winning. Gary Nelson’s job was to clean it up to make it more attractive on the business side.
Stages, or communism creeping? If everyone is getting a W then what is the value of a W? It hurts my eyes but yea, gotta watch old races to get back that pride felt in both risk and reward.
Don't know if you read these comments Jr but to be honest I was never much of a fan of yours till you and Tony Stewart hooked up no matter what team you all were in and helped one another especially in restricter plate racing. You guys should go down in history for just that alone. Naturally I was a Stewart fan still am love his no nonsense way of dealing with things and not holding back. You two make a great pair should of been team mates.
Love this podcasts download. Great listening to Jr.and his guests. Leah is a very very beautiful woman also. Wow she's a dime, very gorgeous. Keep it up Jr. Love you...
Dale you are the trusted voice. I figure Bubba has listened to this a hundred times already. DONT STOP Doing telling talking about how things are going. We so enjoy your perspective and respect you hart felt perception.
Ah come on Jr that stuff was gold ! Couldn’t wait to google the big screen at Texas ! They were great zingers ! Those one liners are everywhere from anybody .
Love learning your perspective on things Dale ,I watched every single one of your races, practices,qualifying..ect since 2004 and its cool to see you do this now and learn who you are. Remembering all the things I watched growing up helps me put the pieces together why certain things happened.
Didn’t Junior get in trouble for intentionally spinning at Bristol? It was years ago when he drove The Bud Car. If I’m remembering correctly he even said it was intentional. Edit: As I was typing this he talked about it. 😂 Glad to know my memory was correct.
Chrystal Hendrix you are correct Crystal I remember that race vividly Paul Menard did and intentional spin at Richmond when I was there right in front of me because Jeff Gordon was about to take the lead from at the time Paul Menards teammate Kevin Harvick Jeff had a long run car and Kevin couldn't hold them off but Kevin had a real fast short run car that gave Kevin the win I paid good money to see that race the outcome was bulshit
@@wolverineprime2886 I was there for that race and it is absolute bullshit because it is something that can have significant impact on the outcome of a race and/or the standings.
In regard to Bubba, Regardless whether he did or didn't do on purpose he still spun. Nascar threw the yellow for obvious reason, that's all there is to it! Jr once again is correct and let the drivers work it out!
Texas is my home track and they really do get too gimmicky with their stuff. It’s really not that great for a consistent watcher of NASCAR but to a new fan they get the wrong impression of what’s going on.
We got too many damn rules as is... yes Bubba spun intentionally. But more rules is not the answer. Just leave it alone and move on. It will work itself out in the wash at some point.
wrong spinning out not by accident in any other series is a suspension and it didnt work out to well for clint its called altering the outcome of a race he wasnt gonna win or in the chase its wrong to cause a caution not by accident is wrong peroid
@@flammenjc Was it a big deal for the guys who just pitted and were put a lap down? Hell yes! Bubba needs a suspension and a fine. Remember Micheal Waltrip Racing in 2013 and the Federated Auto Parts 400?
Imagine the driver trying to explain to maybe his or her only sponsor on the car the one liner. Jr. is right. It may appear small, but it might have millions destroyed in front of one crowd that had the one CEO of that car deciding to never sponsor a car again, let alone renew with that driver. NASCAR is literally shooting itself in the foot lately....
Dale Jr. You are a sensible reasonable human being with a love for the sport, I could go on with the superlatives, but any opinion you have about the sport I am going to agree with because you have experience and insight I will never have, thank you 😊 👍 😀 😉 👏 🙂
I agree with ya Dale Jr. The smarty-breeches quips on the screen were uncalled for. Build, not tear down. It ain't about whether or not someone has thick skin and blows it off as nuthin', or having thin skin and bein' butt hurt about it. It's about respect, courtesy, professionalism, and pride in the sport. Anybody that purposefully makes fun of anyone is immature, and insecure.
I remember a Datyona 500 where Buckshot Jones was backwards in the first few laps. On live TV Buck Baker made some comments about Buckshot Jones in the Double O car doing exactly what we expected him to do this early in the race. Jr, I so often agree with you but this one I have to say funny is funny. Yes that would have been what fans expacted back in the 80's and 90's. Drivers would throw down on each other hard. Like Dale Sr said at Britsol I just wanted to rattle his cage. This one not quite a drive roast but there was a saying that rubbin is racin. Now rubbin is a fine, two weeks off and loss of points. I do not feel that comments like Dale Sr wrecks everyone or Terry Labonts cant drive a nail, or Ervin has to work for the phone company to get on a pole, the fastest thing on Lake Speed is a pedal boat would have ever come ascross as personal. The fans would have loved it your dad would have made t shirts and the track would have had to build more seats next year so the fans could read the big screen. Now your pissed off for someone else. NASCAR needs some rough edges, thats what made them what they were. Now I can sit on the I 77 overpass and see more action , passing and bumping. They sport is so sterile that you can do open heart surgry in Victory lane.
In order for anyone to make any kind of call.......no matter how boring you may think the race is!!!! You must watch every lap of every car....to see the racing thats going on with the driver of each car! You have to stay up with the race! To make any kind of call!!! So I agree! Let it take care of it self !! DRIVER TO DRIVER!!!!.....in the garage!!!
Thank you Junior for thinking of those of us who do not like that type of thing and I've been a Nascar fan forever and lately have been upset with several little things that happened during the race that someone really should start addressing if they want to keep people like me there and bring in new people
Jr, you must do a podcast with a concern, why do we still have gimmicks Brian France had created. The playoffs, the stage racing, and having changes with car done before the qualifying which results automaticly qualifying at the back of the field when Winston era. Changes done after the qualifyings automaticly send teams to the back.
Ya know what? I was so wrong. I never was a big junior fan and was a gordon fan. I realize it was more his or his dads fans i didnt care for. Dale tho i have come to idolize and man he is humble. Type of guy you just wanna have a beer with. Loves and knows the sport great show you have keep it up. Big new fan lol
Yes! Please tell em. It's more about reverance and respect for the sport! It's a disrespectful, demeaning and degrading thing! Personal boundaries and let's not turn this in to a joke!
Heartbeat of America tracks in the heart of the country everyone closer back to the roots. 500 cars a night 1 winner no participation awards. The track crew is paid to clean the track. Wrecks should be expected it's racing. Mutual respect
In all honesty and just from my own perspective those who are running Nascar have been and still are self destroying their own sport. I used to watch the Truck, the Infinity and the Cup series every weekend and for year's. And now it has become so bad that I don't even want to take the time to watch any of them. But on the other hand I do truly enjoy watching Dale Jr's Podcast.
Ok I understand that we don’t need judgment calls when it comes to intentional spins and things of the sort. But doesn’t the teams have full on telemetry data of how the car is driving and how the driver is driving the car? I’m sure if need be the sanctioning body can obtain that information to make the correct call and give the correct penalties
Always wondered about not only the capabilities but also the possibilities of having "Teams" . A driver that's in the hunt for the championship and/or the playoffs had a teammate that is either locked in or no chance of making it... causing a yellow or intentionally wrecking a driver to further the other teamates chances. Oddly enough you don't see or hear about scenarios like that. I'm sure that it's happened dozens of times throughout the years but nowadays with how the racing format is you would think it be more prevalent. I'm not sure that I got my point across but would love to hear drivers talk about these scenarios if they have indeed presented themselves.
I feel like Dale Jr knows good and well this "package" sucks but I don't hear him saying much about it. It's shocking to me because he's an old school soul.
As a media member now I’m sure he knows he can’t say anything derogatory... especially since nascar gets fine happy when a driver says something negative.
Small Shot i don’t know. It seems like a package that would be right in the wheel house of a drive who’s great at plate racing. I think JR would’ve been good in this particular package. But this is just my opinion. I could very well be wrong. Lol I know from my own personal experience, this package is fun as hell to race on iracing.
How is Harvick a trusted vet when he intentionally wreck the field at Dega in 15 so he wouldn't lose a ton of points?? That basically took the win from Jr
I don't think I've ever been mad at a driver and nascar than I was that race. Harvick obviously wrecked the field on purpose and tried to blame it on trevor Bayne
Yes that the way I felt about that when it happened. He tuned left in front of everybody and wrecked the whole field and yes cost JR. a win.And I not forgot it yet.
Things were simpler back then. You get the most points during the year you win the trophy. How can anything be better than that? All this chase/playoff does is bring drama in to get the casual new age fans with attention spans of house flies.
@@jasonbradham2193 Yep, NASCAR turned it's back on the old fans so I turned my back on them. Good thing I have old races to watch on RUclips and NR2003 game to relive racing at old tracks against real drivers.
That's the problem now a days with everything. Not enough seesion Adults in a room with these kids to teach the the way. And they think it's hip to ignore and degrade older people while there being selfish. RESPECT! LISTEN! LEARN! AND YOU'LL STAY ON TOP NOT A ONE HIT WONDER.
Also, with the MWR situation at Richmond, there was radio chatter that was quite incriminating. And Junior spun intentionally at Bristol once, and NASCAR popped him for it -- because Junior admitted his intent on the radio.
Bruh thee amount of Logano fans that were saying he didn't intentionally spin at Martinsville was blowing my mind and the fact that Jr said he saw him intentionally spin..... I feel like NASCAR wants a civil war within the fan base ....
I usually try to make it to both Texas races every year, but couldn't go to either one this year. I didn't get to see the quips on Big Hoss, and this is the first I've heard about it. As for the other issue, I COMPLETELY agree with Dale that judgement calls should be kept to a bare minimum in ANY sport. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck with them in EVERY sport, most notable balls and strikes in baseball and pass interference in football. I really wish there was a way to eliminate that, but it just doesn't seem realistically possible.
And this package is awful. Go back to the days of the regular gauges, go back to a front air dam and kick the splitter to curb. Get rid of the shark fin and get rid of the Tapered Spacer....
The only reason I disagree with a driver approaching another driver about an intentional spin is: How would the driver spinning himself out even know that he is affecting someones long run or whatever it may be that he is damaging? Drivers like Bubba are so far behind that they are lucky to know where their own car is running let alone anyone else in the field. I can hear Bubba and his spotter now saying: "I HAVE A FLAT! WELL DON'T SPIN OUT ON PURPOSE CAUSE YOU WILL MESS UP KYLE BUSCH'S DAY" LMAO!!!
Hey guys so I was never a NASCAR fan until my boyfriend got me into it, and he took me to my first race at Texas Motor Speedway (the one before this was posted) and I personally thought the lines were funny. But I also assumed it was something that they always did it is kinda weird that the first time they do it happens to be my first race lol.
“Here’s two guys that got into it last week, buy a damn ticket!” Dale Jr needs to handle NASCAR’s marketing side from now on
Jr. You're a great advocate for the sport. Keep fightin' the good fight. You bring up a lot of great points. Keep up the great work!! Cheers!!!
I second that. We support you Dale
If NASCAR really wants to save itself they need to put Jr and Tony Stewart in charge.
Agree! May have to re-install the removed seats at the tracks also.
Yup. All you have to do to know how good Stewart would be at running events is look at how well Tony Stewart has done with Eldora.
John Harris waaaahhhhh
Jr over the rules and racing stuff...but tony Stewart needs be the press guy for nascar
@Blue2 Sierra
Kyle Petty waa saying the rule xhanges were bad back in the 90s lmao
Would love for Dale Jr to be in charge of NASCAR one day.
It'll never happen though. Unless he buys the whole shebang
zero chance
@@user-cs3zs6jn1d Penske will buy Nascar next,then put Jr.in charge?

The world would be a better place!!!
Drivers have thrown drink bottles out of the car to get a caution hahahaha

"Are we buildin' this sport up or are we tearin' it down?" That is the ultimate question Dale. Right now it's crumbling to the point where I have a hard time bringing myself to even watch every weekend. Thinking 'what BS are we gonna have to see or hear now?' When I saw the empty seats scattered along the frontstretch at Texas I tend to believe some people are thinking the same thing. Also, ticket prices are getting ridiculous.
My entire family stopped watching when stage racing began. Its no longer racing.
Ticket pricing has gone down but okay. You are tearing it down. You can have opinions but when you stop watching then your opinion doesn't matter.

I wish you would do a show about Tim Richmond’s life and career in Winston Cup Racing it would be a great show...
I second that. It would be very interesting.
Yes a Tim Richmond detailed history would be very interesting... The guy was an amazing talent...
He knowingly transmitted HIV to a model. I wish for a Richmond doc or show too, but in today's cancel culture it won't
Wasn’t there a 30 for 30 on Richmond? That’s about as detailed as we’ll get
Nascar lives in the grey area. They blatantly make rules up and decide when they want to follow the established ones on the spot. It's part of the reason why viewership has gone down over the years.
That's almost like hockey with some hits fights. Etc...big gray area rules
Lmao... Im still laughing and the "can't drive a nail" .... 😂😂😂😂

I haven't watched a race since 2014 so I don't know what they are talking about... to be honest I just come here for the Earnhardt stories
I love listening to them talk about Nascar but never watched a race. Makes no damn sense
The entertainment industry always needs heat (controversy), cheap heat is what Jr. is talking about no place for it.
Bowyer was maybe the first that came to mind, but Jr at Bristol in 04 was the next thing I immediately thought of.
For the sound booth, sound has been much better the last few days, great job.
"Garrett Smithley. He's already in the way." 😂😂😂😂😂

Dale your are 100% right . It is all better to be positive. Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Dale JR 2004 Bristol race RUclips
I am a huge JR fan but how soon we forget..
Jr, you must do a podcast with a concern, why do we still have gimmicks Brian France had created. The playoffs, the stage racing, and having changes with car done before the qualifying which results automaticly qualifying at the back of the field when Winston era. Changes done after the qualifyings automaticly send teams to the back.
Ya know what? I was so wrong. I never was a big junior fan and was a gordon fan. I realize it was more his or his dads fans i didnt care for. Dale tho i have come to idolize and man he is humble. Type of guy you just wanna have a beer with. Loves and knows the sport great show you have keep it up.
Big new fan lol
Yes! Please tell em. It's more about reverance and respect for the sport! It's a disrespectful, demeaning and degrading thing!
Personal boundaries and let's not turn this in to a joke!
Too late it's a joke and has been for several years now
I yearn for the good ole days
That Onitsuka hoodie is sick!!
Joey Logano still a featherless dart lol
Dale jr is really good at debating...... He always gets me to change my mind.
I've seen Jr intentionally spin too...lol
Yeah he said that himself.
I totally agree with you about the one liners, in MY opinion it was classless and a wee bit trashy on the part of TMS
Dale jr. for president of nascar...never mind having a cup team
Dale Jr.'s honesty, over the different things that happened, is one of the major factors that made me A Dale fan.
Heartbeat of America tracks in the heart of the country everyone closer back to the roots. 500 cars a night 1 winner no participation awards. The track crew is paid to clean the track. Wrecks should be expected it's racing. Mutual respect
In quarter midgets I needed a caution so I just turned the car off 😂
In all honesty and just from my own perspective those who are running Nascar have been and still are self destroying their own sport.
I used to watch the Truck, the Infinity and the Cup series every weekend and for year's.
And now it has become so bad that I don't even want to take the time to watch any of them.
But on the other hand I do truly enjoy watching Dale Jr's Podcast.
Ok I understand that we don’t need judgment calls when it comes to intentional spins and things of the sort. But doesn’t the teams have full on telemetry data of how the car is driving and how the driver is driving the car? I’m sure if need be the sanctioning body can obtain that information to make the correct call and give the correct penalties
Always wondered about not only the capabilities but also the possibilities of having "Teams" . A driver that's in the hunt for the championship and/or the playoffs had a teammate that is either locked in or no chance of making it... causing a yellow or intentionally wrecking a driver to further the other teamates chances.
Oddly enough you don't see or hear about scenarios like that. I'm sure that it's happened dozens of times throughout the years but nowadays with how the racing format is you would think it be more prevalent.
I'm not sure that I got my point across but would love to hear drivers talk about these scenarios if they have indeed presented themselves.
"maybe Bubba makes a better decision next time>" bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Try listening. Dale said they all have done it.
@@HarryRacer18 there's a Bubba lover. enjoy him while he lasts.
I feel like Dale Jr knows good and well this "package" sucks but I don't hear him saying much about it. It's shocking to me because he's an old school soul.
As a media member now I’m sure he knows he can’t say anything derogatory... especially since nascar gets fine happy when a driver says something negative.
Small Shot i don’t know. It seems like a package that would be right in the wheel house of a drive who’s great at plate racing. I think JR would’ve been good in this particular package. But this is just my opinion. I could very well be wrong. Lol I know from my own personal experience, this package is fun as hell to race on iracing.
He gets paid by NBC. NBC is not going to let employees shame NASCAR about anything. NBC has to kiss NASCAR’s ass.
@@podcastbunker It's the other way around. The tv partners have all the power in this situation.
SnoDawg lmfao nbc doesnt need nascar,nascar needs nbc,espn is not good for nascar at all.
How is Harvick a trusted vet when he intentionally wreck the field at Dega in 15 so he wouldn't lose a ton of points?? That basically took the win from Jr
I don't think I've ever been mad at a driver and nascar than I was that race. Harvick obviously wrecked the field on purpose and tried to blame it on trevor Bayne
Yes that the way I felt about that when it happened. He tuned left in front of everybody and wrecked the whole field and yes cost JR. a win.And I not forgot it yet.
If you don't have the chase, this isn't an issue
Things were simpler back then. You get the most points during the year you win the trophy. How can anything be better than that? All this chase/playoff does is bring drama in to get the casual new age fans with attention spans of house flies.
@@swirvinirvan3789 but, us old school fans are gone.
@@jasonbradham2193 Yep, NASCAR turned it's back on the old fans so I turned my back on them. Good thing I have old races to watch on RUclips and NR2003 game to relive racing at old tracks against real drivers.
Those one liners aren't bad, I think it's a funny way to connect with the fans. Personally I loved them!
That's the problem now a days with everything. Not enough seesion Adults in a room with these kids to teach the the way. And they think it's hip to ignore and degrade older people while there being selfish. RESPECT! LISTEN! LEARN! AND YOU'LL STAY ON TOP NOT A ONE HIT WONDER.
Also, with the MWR situation at Richmond, there was radio chatter that was quite incriminating. And Junior spun intentionally at Bristol once, and NASCAR popped him for it -- because Junior admitted his intent on the radio.
Sounds like they were trying to get the fans arguing and feuding.
Bruh thee amount of Logano fans that were saying he didn't intentionally spin at Martinsville was blowing my mind and the fact that Jr said he saw him intentionally spin..... I feel like NASCAR wants a civil war within the fan base ....
@@LilTwix81 i remember after fontana when the media was fabricating the Kyle busch vs. Richard Petty argument
napa nascar heat it’s like they love comparing apples and oranges ....
I usually try to make it to both Texas races every year, but couldn't go to either one this year. I didn't get to see the quips on Big Hoss, and this is the first I've heard about it. As for the other issue, I COMPLETELY agree with Dale that judgement calls should be kept to a bare minimum in ANY sport. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck with them in EVERY sport, most notable balls and strikes in baseball and pass interference in football. I really wish there was a way to eliminate that, but it just doesn't seem realistically possible.
Dale Jr once purposely spun out at Bristol and admitted it during a radio interview. He was trying to keep from going a lap down.
You wanna cookie?!👎
Thanks for repeating what JR actually said about halfway through this
And this package is awful. Go back to the days of the regular gauges, go back to a front air dam and kick the splitter to curb. Get rid of the shark fin and get rid of the Tapered Spacer....
I agree when make off the wall remarks like that it leaves a perception of this is a joke and lack of professionalism.
DALE JR FOR PRESIDENT OF NASCAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jr. had a good nature. Reasonable.
NASCAR is a lost cause,.....Dale,Jr. leaving the sport and that stupid 'stage racing' killed it.
Remember when Texas did the funny radio channel with the Twitter personalities? I bet they hired one of those guys to write one-liners.
The only reason I disagree with a driver approaching another driver about an intentional spin is: How would the driver spinning himself out even know that he is affecting someones long run or whatever it may be that he is damaging? Drivers like Bubba are so far behind that they are lucky to know where their own car is running let alone anyone else in the field. I can hear Bubba and his spotter now saying: "I HAVE A FLAT! WELL DON'T SPIN OUT ON PURPOSE CAUSE YOU WILL MESS UP KYLE BUSCH'S DAY" LMAO!!!
Hey guys so I was never a NASCAR fan until my boyfriend got me into it, and he took me to my first race at Texas Motor Speedway (the one before this was posted) and I personally thought the lines were funny. But I also assumed it was something that they always did it is kinda weird that the first time they do it happens to be my first race lol.
Sounds like Gossage being a showman.
Not surprising.
Texas for you.
On brand.
Marketing for Spring race.
Try to get Sterling Marlin on the podcast. If you have I haven't found the video yet.
Jr mike is right about the MWR Bubba Spun On Purpose It’s Happening about every race nascar needs to give em a 5 lap penalty
Cassi aka @G88Gassi needs to have a talk with Eddie on the topic of kindness.
Is that a wrecked Amelia car on the desk lol?
Lol was listening/ watching in the deer stand myself lmao 😂
Im watching a half hour before i smoke a bign with the bow.
Nascar needs him to steward the sport to the next level
Bubba admitted doing on purpose Dale Jarrett said Bubba should have kept his mouth shut.
Jr is a intentional spin expert.
You just said it...( govern)
