Dale Jr. Download: Making It In NASCAR with Greg Ives
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2021
- Dale Jr. is often asked to explain how someone can make it in racing and Ives serves as the perfect example for him to share. Hear the steps Ives took to establish himself and gain experience in the sport before getting to NASCAR.
An interaction at a family reunion ultimately set Ives up for the rest of his life. He details what happened, getting a call from Hendrick Motorsports and his first interview with the organization. Then hear what he had to do to make it to Daytona in order to meet the No. 24 team during Speedweeks.
Ives then talks about getting a job offer from Hendrick Motorsports and how once there, doors opened quickly, and how his willingness to volunteer elevated his career.

I wish that I could watch the enter podcast vs listening. The chemistry cand the expressions are so much better to watch and listen to at the same time.
I don't know enough about airing podcast video, but I agree COMPLETELY! I watch Joe Rogans podcast on Spotify, why can't I watch Dale Jr. Download as well?!?!
100% agree! I enjoy the video portion tremendouly! Listening seems like a lateral move. Dale and Mike draw answers from their guests so well...
He's been shuffled around throughout his career and has accomplished great things at all of them. I hope he wins a Cup title but I'll always remember his Xfinity championship with Chase.
That is how its done. Doing whatever it takes to get a mere moment of exposure to the right folks. Respect to you Sir!
Mind blowing. His perseverance and dedication.
I wish we could see the whole interview. Listen to every download but would be awesome to see. Happy Birthday Intimidator!
UP of Michigan representing proudly!
This was one of my favorite interviews. Had to go listen to the full story. I really like the crew chief interviews.
Had a similar experience but the results was a fail. Years ago when attending the Race in Sonoma when the SCCA had run the same weekend I met this fellow who was interested in hiring a mechanic (me) for their race team (in SCCA). Told me that they were gonna be in Laguna Seca the following month and if I really was interested that I should meet them there. So I packed for the weekend and made the journey to the coast. When I get there, make my way to the paddock only to find out they didn’t make it to the race for lack of funds. Dreams went up in smoke. Drive back home with lost hopes. Needless to say the best part of that was seeing some Indy car practice and checking out this legendary track.
Way to get it done dude. Desire means a lot along with a strong work ethic.
Happy 70th birthday to Dale Earnhardt Sr! 🎂
Was going to like this but 3 likes is perfect 👌
@@dustbucket4059 Now all we need is 3 comments. 😃
@Guy Brown Dale Sr was the greatest driver in NASCAR history.
@@chevy2666 #3 belonged to Richard Childress, not Dale Sr.. Childress got the #3 in 1976 from Junior Johnson.
@@sergeantmasson3669 Dale Sr was the best NASCAR driver ever.
The 3 people that disliked this were the 3 that lost that job to Greg
It’s cool listening to stories like this and relating it to mine
Yes!! THis is awesome!!! Love Greg Ives!!! He is by far my favorite Crew Chief in the garage right now and I've been a fan ever since he was your crew chief, Jr.!!! Thank you!
Dale thanks for show tonight as I been through many’s of things you have are going through over serious accident and head trauma it’s very cruel as it’s something that over the years The pain for my family and friends and now my job and by no means I’m a rocket scienceAgain thanks for the show tonight
I know that didn’t come out right purchase thanks for the show it happens to me all the time things look OK but not
I had the best job at Ford Motor Company. As a master mechanic with part of an associates degree. I was hired into Ford Racing, based on my experience, helping others race in Scca. And a very small amount of road course racing.
Overnight I was a data collection guy, as well as a shock absorber tech with Ford nascar cup teams.
Way to go Greg! Start at the bottom and work your way up. Volunteer to do things, earn your respect and go to the top. This is the way it’s supposed to work. Love this guy and this story
Thank you, Jr. I now know what I’m doing to make it in NASCAR. I WILL be working for a team in NASCAR.
Really enjoyed this one! Brings back a lot of many memories!
Great Interview, didn't know anything about Gregg. What a leap of faith to get a job at Hendrick Motorsports.
I was a graduate of one of the first classes from Nascar Technical Institute in 2004. I sat next to Chris Odell who was a tire changer for Kyle Busch then HMS. Great experience but it never materialized into a job in racing.
I hope to be like Greg one day. I’ve got the same aspirations, hopefully it pans out for me too
Hopefully you don’t have to drive hours on end just for an interview lol
I wish you luck on Calculus
What a great story and such a deserving young man.
Great story.... Great job......
INSPIRATIONAL
Very interesting. Will definitely watch rest of interview this evening. Sandi
To get the whole interview you'll have to listen to the podcast! We kept him for two hours. dirtymomedia.com/dalejrdownload
@@DirtyMoMedia I hope you've read all the comments. But just in case not...we DO NOT want to listen, we want to watch. Please find a way to make full podcast video available.
Interesting guy and story Jr! Thanks bro......
Much respect @GregIves.
The cell phone story was funny.i didn't have one til around 99 since I never needed one.
One day i hope i have a story to tell about how i got into nascar
Don't forget why you started chasing your dreams!. Go get it!. It's for the taken. You just haven't realized it yet that it's in your wheelhouse.
Happy Birthday Dale Sr
Great video!
Greg shouts out Gladstone MI! 😂 I lived right across the train tracks from the shop too. 😂 Also a family member of his was bound and determined to officiate my wedding, tho the wedding never happened. 😂 the Ives are a great family.
That was Interesting...I admire a Guy without That Damn Cell Phone!...lol A++
good one!!!!!!!!!!
you know the news... but soon your going to hear...
The Rest Of The Story
page 1
I miss the "back in the day at the #3 shop dei open house 4-29-"
the music of "gone to Carolina in my mind" or "message in a bottle"
plays on repeat in my head when I think back.
Happy B Day .. RDE....

""Jr. you've got my resume""
Marty Smith gave it to you for me...
or so I hoped ,, ""he said he would "" back in 2005
when I gave it to him outside the bobcat arena after the Craftsman pit crew championships
( Kasey's 9 dodge team won) and he won Richmond in may for his first with Ray back in the day
however I guess I missed the call after all ..
but I have slept in the bed of my Chevy truck, back when Dale opened in Charlotte
submitted resume to every team in Mooresville and Charlotte...
couldn't afford a room but I do remember spending the mornings at days inn (beside waffle house)
eating free corn flakes breakfast in hopes to meeting some of the crew guys leaving waffle house.. lol..
but back in 2005 the drive for diversity led so many teams to tell me "we have to hire minorities"
that even after handing out business cards at the Tyson PIT school challenge
where I met Ryan Pemberton and taking "the Carolina Welding test"
then at the 01 army car Joe Nemechek mb2 ? Scott Riggs 10?
and changing tire's on a practice team for 15 year old Joey Lagano hooter's pro cup car
just to get a chance at Roush where he tried to run me over first pit stop
because he couldn't dis-engauge the clutch fully..
( he couldn't reach the pedal without the added block of wood held on with a wire tie)
but he won in his third start for them and signed with Gibbs ,,
ps. when toyota built redbull..open resumes' I applied.. still no luck.
page3
and then had to returned home back to the dealership, after my tax returns money had expired..
I did this for a few years from 1994-1998 then again in 2005-07 but ..
here comes gravity / back to reality...
....can still be there in 7 hours..
....holla at cha boy... RacerX
I’d love to get back in with a team as a post race mechanic. The teams I worked for were small under funded. There were 8-10 guys that did it all lol.
Beast mode Ok I'll start tomorrow
I was told long ago - Become an expert in Passions and or Hobbies which wealthy people enjoy - and they will pay you to play for the rest of your life.
I took the advice and now do preservation, restoration, and paint on high end muscle cars - mostly 56-73 Corvettes and 67-73 Camaros. Rick(Mr H) had a Cortez silver 69 Camaro SS 396 convertible I did a few years ago.
Love that hat Mike
iPhones came out in November 2007 if that puts the whole phone thing in perspective!
Miss you dale jr wish your father's birthday yesterday 70th
You want it , earn it let your work do the talking , good job!😎😎😎
You should get Allen Bestwick to come on the show!
Most people didnt have a cell in 2003. Flip phones were new and "fancy" back then
I went to nti. Was second in my class behind a midget racing 4 year mechanical engineer, last name pimm.. but even though I paid for the whole year at NTI, my dad ran out of money for rent and stuff half way through. I missed out. 🤦 Last I heard right before I left nc was pimm was cleaning the rubber out from under the 24 car... Lost opportunities. 😓
Goodnight man
Nothing like snake on those 03 cell phones. 😂
🤬 Really aggravated that my DJD recording was stopped on this Greg Ives episode. I really wish NBC Sports would do re-air's at some point throughout the week. This is three different episode that something has went wrong on my end. 🤬
I hope that I could be like a Mark Martin-Matt Kenseth-Brad Keselowski-Alex Bowman/Greg Biffle(his early years) (You probably know where I’m going with this) a rags to riches type story about a slightly older driver, goes out there, pays his dues and hopefully makes it big time. But, If I don’t make it as a driver, I could be like Cole Whitt, Coleman Pressley and become a crew chief or spotter, or that Wally Dallenbach Jr. where he knew he wasn’t gonna make it as a driver, so he jumped in the booth and look at him now.... hopefully
well obviously ives is super smart and a nice guy other wise a dork personality
Ryan Matthews was fast at Lake Geneva Raceway
Norwayspeedway and Wisconsin international raceway are the best
I want to be a hauler driver
First step is Class A CDL ... Then pretty much gotta knw somebody of somebody... They don't make that much money . They do get a hotel rooms. No truck sleeping for the most part .. I drive a truck it would be sweet to haul the #4 car .
