What job in hendrick dkd you have?

[@BAYSINRACING]

@ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK wow

[@CybermanBill]

ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK Why does it sound like he’s full of shit? Just sounds like low self esteem and that he needs to let the world know that he’s done something most people watching this will never do even though they want to and needs the internet to comment to him saying like “ wow, cool.. you’re so lucky!”, etc..... he needs it to validate himself and build up the self esteem. Usually the person that says ”I think you’re full of shit”, has a tad bit of jealousy deep down, wishing he could work there but knows he doesn’t have a skill to actually do it, so to validate himself and his self esteem, he will say something like that, trying to fool his ego and “id” into believing that since he couldn’t ever work there, there is no way that the other guy could actually do something he can’t thus he must be lying!! Self esteem..... what a bitch!!

This channel is gold. I can’t believe it doesn’t have more subscribers

[@jnj2233]

I miss that #48 Lowe’s team! Still can’t believe Chad and Jimmie parted ways. We’ll see which one gets that championship first. Of course we’ll never know now if Chad and Jimmie could’ve got that #8. Wish them each the best though!

[@nathanielhiggerson7679]

Johnny It won’t be Jimmie, that’s for sure

[@peterhoppejr288]

Dude u never know just why do u hate jimmie this much?

[@nathanielhiggerson7679]

peter hoppe jr Because he’s an equipment dependent overrated fraud

[@Ktaurus26]

Johnny Jimmie will never win another championship. He will be lucky to win another race before he retires

[@jnj2233]

We’ll I don’t see Chad winning as many championships or races with that new want a be Jeff Gordon driver either. Chase Elliot or Kyle Larson maybe a different story, but I don’t see them doing what Jimmie did in Chad’s cars over the years. Jimmie is one of the greats. One of the best, if not the best closers in NASCAR history. His nickname is Superman for a reason.

[@racerguy6979]

Jeff and ray were machines. Wish chad had stepped in with jeff.

[@ethanwhisman1277]

I will say this Jeff would have probably been able to still be a great driver with Chad but I think Chad and Jimmy benefited from having Jeff Gordon as a mentor and and Ray evernham's in Mentor before Ray evernham left the starters on team I don't doubt that Chad and Jeff would have won races together it probably would have even want to try title together again I feel like in a long run I really would have liked Jeff and Allen Gustin to be put together sooner cuz that combination really worked for Jeff because if you remember how long how him and Allen work together they really carried the team especially in 2014 don't get me wrong Jeff Gordon Terry says race car carried a lot of the race cars but so does Jimmie Johnson and Chase Elliott and William Byron and Alex Bowman they all carry a race car to a point but no one could truly do it as good as Jeff Gordon cut I'll say even I don't even think Dale Earnhardt senior could do it as well as Jeff Gordon could I mean Kyle Busch in some of the newer generation drivers after that came after Jeff Gordon to kill a race car 2 but no one has been as successful as Jeff has

[@jbinamac]

old Chad rockin' that rug boi...

[@timkis64]

who would've predicted at the time of filming that chad would be interveiwed by his future boss at hendrick.it was probably in the making when this was filming.both of these gentlemen are very wise at the business side of racing.despite them both being legends at the track.

[@michaelholmes7519]

Chad you are A GOAT!!!! LETS GO BYRON!!!! Also hope your not upset with me for saying to stay out of the sticky last November at ISM! Can't wait to see you and Byron in 17 days at ISM!!!!

[@camellalee5061]

LOVE BEING A GREAT FAN OF JEFF. YOU WERE AND KNOW MY ALTIME FAVORITE. I LOVE JIMMY TO BUT JEFF IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE.

Best crew chief in history of NASCAR right there

[@cartreks5053]

I like Jeff.

[@amypardue4986]

Jeff is so GQ AND the best of all time

[@keithgivens9841]

Love it glad Jeff Gordon told the truth

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Love the series, this channel, and this episode as usual! But I have only one problem about Chad mentioning the 2019 package. Yes the racing is “more exciting” or whatever, but it’s not really. It’s a package to force excitement just because of an All-Star Race. Even the drivers HATE the 2019 package. I’m not a fan of a gimmick package (taking away HPs and adding spacers) because it’s not a skilled package for drivers and it’s not really exciting for hardcore Motorsports fans to watch. The real problem with the Gen 6 is that it always makes pointless seasonal changes and it’s too Aero-Dependent. The great packages of the Gen 6 are 2013, 2014, and 2016. We could still use those packages, but NASCAR cares for show seeker fans a lot more, so they go with the crap package we have now

[@sabancuz6871]

This is true butthe cream always rises to the top. The best drivers will get to the front and win races even if they are racing tricycles

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

saban Cuz true. But drivers prefer to show their skills and talent on track. The 2019 550HP package has none of that. However, the package works at Daytona and Talladega only

[@sabancuz6871]

@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT I agree this package has so much down force and so little Horse Power that the cars are much easier to drive and NASCAR did this on purpose to try and let the lower tier teams have a better chance as well as being more affordable for them in hopes it will draw new teams to form. I don't like it either, I would rather see the cars with little spoilers and high HP but I'm afraid those days are over especially when the new Gen 7 car comes out in 2021 and all the teams have to use the same chassis that are made by one manufacturer like MaClarrin and the body's may be composite like the Affinity series uses now and the teams can do very little to change the handling characteristics of the cars. They think that if all the cars handle the same the racing will be better but i'm not so sure?

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

saban Cuz blame Steve O’Donnell

Proving again that Jimmies success was Chad, 2nd for Byron at Martinsville while Jimmie sucked

Dude he got caught up in a wreck so we don’t know were he would have finished

peter hoppe jr Wasn’t going to be second that’s for sure

met 48 the truth hurts. Jimmies done

[@nathanielhiggerson7679]

met 48 Look in the mirror fool

[@tamezzodiac2862]

Just cause cars were on the lead lap doesn’t mean it was better. 2016 there was 12 cars on the lead lap max at Atlanta and it was probably the best Atlanta race in a long time. There was actually more people to win back in the day too. It was just way more exciting. The racing is not that exciting now tbh. It’s just close but single file slop.

[@thomasroberts2484]

At 3:08 his hair moves. I love me some Chad K but wtf was that?
