Chase Elliott Details Injuring His Leg & Building Up Courage to Call Mr. Hendrick | Dale Jr Download

[@GHarris218]

I have never met Mr. Hendrick but I anticipated that he would react the way he did, based on what I have heard about him.

[@tritontransport]

Between him and Richard Childress if I was a driver I’d want to drive for them just for that reason and not money reasons and I’m even a dodge fan. They both seem to put people first over money in times like these. Can’t say that about some of the other big time car owners

[@Teleman76]

Makes you wonder how many of the younger owners would react the same way. A tip of the hat to Rick Hendrick.

[@GIANTSSWAGGER]

I love that Jr is as invested in wanting to know all the details of the story like all us fans haha just look at his face during the 9:02

[@f1sherman52]

Imagine calling Mr.Hendrick and starting the conversation "Hey man."

[@macsmith-cg6wg]

People don't understand pain. I mean REAL PAIN unless they have gone through it. You can tell someone you are in pain but if they have never gone through it, they just can't comprehend what you are going through. Glad you had people around to get you help and get you to the hospital. Rehab isn't a piece of cake either. Hope and Pray you are doing Okay now and no effects from the injury. 🙏👍🏁

[@JerBuster77]

Rick Hendrick really is a father figure with that response to Chase's injury news.

[@tnwhiskey68]

Seems that way to all his guys. Junior calls him Dad. He really does seem like a decent man!

[@dman7164]

I work for Rick on the automotive side. And I can vouche for that! He takes car of his family ❤

[@debbiedenny4944]

Rick is the best!!

Cool to hear the story from Chase’s mouth. I’m sure he is still healing and his comeback will be so sweet💙⭐️💙⭐️

[@Buckeye2043]

Need to get Keselowski on.

[@PatrickAdia]

@Dale, amazing job getting this inside story out of Chase! 👏👏👏

[@THEREALTALLPINE]

God bless chase let's get that second championship 2024!!!! Please lord 2020 was the best time ever since the 28 years watching nascar I always wished to watch Jr win a championship and never happened

[@jackson-md2gh]

2020 should've been Harvicks, Chase more-so earned '22, removing the playoffs he had the most points that year

[@JJA1987]

Harvick blew it move on - Chase performed when he needed and got the job done

[@soccerthrowback0664]

@@jackson-md2ghSo you would agree that since Chase won the 22’ regular season championship that he should have won that one though correct?

[@campingmods496]

He's done winning championships 😂

[@easyenetwork2023]

I think if they get him right physically and get the cars running more consistently faster, they could be contenders.

[@BwInNewJersey]

Allen and Ricks reaction is a testament to how professional Hendrick’s is. I imagine other organizations wouldve had a very different response

[@brianstrawser3654]

The fall never gets you. The landing sure does though.

[@ZachTaylor2631]

It’s a lot like speed, speed doesn’t kill you, the sudden stop does

I tried to ski one time,,,fell all over the damn mountain and that was it. Made my way to the lodge and bar watched everyone else fall all over the Mtn . Much better in the lodge by the fire.

[@woodyv2235]

Awesome information and interview. Two great drivers.

[@billmadison2032]

rick Hendrick is a very good boss and a class act in life

[@randykelley6826]

Patella injuries are extremely painful. Been there done that. I can remember touring Bill Elliotts old Coors Melling shop in Dawsonville Ga when I was a Junior at Dawson County High School.

[@waynebendelow282]

Chase, you should be very appreciative of the Toboggan guys, giving you an accurate evaluation of your injury. That started you thinking about your next steps. I turn 78 this coming Saturday here in California. Maybe 6 years ago i was clearing deadwood on a slope of my property in preparation for Fire Season. While carrying a bundle downhill my foot slipped sideways and Ifelt pain. I went to my primary care doctor immediatly who referred me to the joint specialist. They took xrays and her diagnosis was that the reason my right knee hurt was because i was old. Pain meds were prescribed. I told her my left knee was the same age and it felt fine. I changed joint specialist and my new guy sent a camera into my knee and saw that my meniscus was torn away and folded. Surgery was scheduled for that Friday, which was the 13th. I was up and on crutches that day and walking without crutches the next. I was amazed at how much the muscles in my quads had atrophied in one day!

[@whiteeyes3743]

Take a shot every time Jr says "right"

[@rbell3109]

Better than saying "like" every other word, but not by much

[@easyenetwork2023]

What I was thinking, right.

It's not the fall that hurts/kills ya, it's the sudden stop.

My mother tore her ACL on her last run one day… I feel this

[@SamanthaEatsCookies]

Injuries come at such a terrible time. It really is such a shame.

[@Mike-og3xb]

This show REALLY misses Mike Davis.

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

I don’t. It’s different. But I like it for the most part.

[@lucasblanton5203]

What happened did he leave?

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Handling more of dirty mo stuff.

[@whiteeyes3743]

Yea it def needs another person to take Mikes place for sure

[@raulherrera434]

im glad he is gone.he constantly interrupted to ask the guest a long winded dumb question and you could they wanted to talk to Dale Jr. he added nothing to the show.

[@wesfactor197]

Jr. looking hella young today.

[@LleytonHunter]

People, I really do not appreciate the way you call this guy boring and uninteresting. If he doesn’t like being in the spotlight, likes to keep things personal, or is shy, then that’s his personality and the way he is. You should respect it. But it seems like you cant. And also, it’s rude to call someone boring. Everyone has a good personality and is interesting in their own way. It’s fine if you think some are more interesting than others, but to call someone boring is not okay.

[@daneamann6225]

I don't think it's necessarily being reserved or not exclusively outgoing that people have a problem with. I think it's the duality of coming across as 'uninteresting', while also being propped up as the most popular driver as voted on by the fans. Lot of people seem to have a problem or at least be turned off by that

[@PsychedelicGuy]

@@daneamann6225bingo

[@ryanmac8283]

I love snow boarding.But your legs get hurt a lot.Glad he got better.

[@ProCoach2373]

Holy shiat Dale, give the guy a chance to talk. You do a great job of painting the picture with your questions, but IMO more brevity would make these so much more enjoyable to watch.

[@sbishopvt4650]

Even the patrol can become that guy. Everyone rides the sled at some point.

[@raymondwells1526]

Come on folks let Chase be Chase. Don't try to define the man or driver that he would be comfortable, confident in at the end of the day.

[@JJA1987]

Exactly

[@prairiefarmer5994]

Something that I appreciated a lot last year when this happened was that in the midst of the media tearing Chase down for snowboarding, all the garage took his side and just said hey, we all have lives to live. If I remember right not a single driver ridiculed him for what he did, just wished him well.

[@sbishopvt4650]

Never say last run. Just end a lap and say OK I'm satisfied with that.

[@stubbytaylor630]

I was gonna ask multiple times. Where is Mike Davis?

[@Keith-e8v]

I think hearing that helps dale how to handle something like that if it comes up at jr Motorsports

[@gdomingo42]

Lol. It always happens on the last run of the day.

[@bobbysapp6880]

So where is Mike Davis?

[@SamanthaEatsCookies]

I think even from a Chase fan perspective, the whole situation left me bummed. I want him in the car and to do good, but I have to say they found great drivers to fill in those races missed. I'm happy the whole process of telling and going through everything was as hassle free as well. He already felt bad for not being there for the team, so why kick him?

[@frozenbits48]

I know I have missed a few videos, but what happened to Mike?

[@whiteeyes3743]

He moved on to something else

[@bsmotorsport1449]

He’s still with Dirty Mo Media, but he’s stepped back as co host of the DJD to take a higher position at the outlet.

[@shaunstrasser1]

Rick learned from Tim Richmond being sick and Ricky Craven being hurt to take care of his drivers and know to have backup plans

[@54raceman]

He also knows and understands that happy drivers are better preforming drivers which is why he gives his drivers so much more leeway to do whatever they want than the rest the owners do

[@Will-t5x]

Be cool to hear about the following 5-10 minutes after that call ended from RH

[@King1614]

Dude, can you please get Jimmy fennig, buddy Parrott, Ronnie crooks, and Felipe Lopez on the show?

[@whiteeyes3743]

Dale is great in the convos and asks great questions but i think the podcast is missing another voice. Eric Estepp would be awesome.

[@prgamer7367]

I agree, Eric would be really good with Dale.

[@jsmith282]

I'll listen to the whole thing ....but I had to find out what Mr Hendricks reaction was .... I would been scared no matter who is the owner... more of a reason I like Rick Hendrick

[@ChrisHarder20]

That’s why you never say it’s your last run

[@davidfitzpatrick6576]

He needs a co host for sure. Like a former driver or someone to bounce more ideas questions to

[@chandlerfrazier]

If you're wondering what it feels like, imagine a major calf cramp that wont go away. At least thats what it felt like when i added a temporary second knee in the middle of my right shin.

[@jamesgeorge4874]

You know you're hurt, when you have the feeling of "that doesn't feel right" , immediately followed by projectile vomiting.

[@ralphhorst3682]

Where’s Mike?

[@nc240coupe]

Ughh I’m cringing to chase explaining this, I’ve jacked my knees up from my bmx riding days and any kind of knee pain or hearing about it makes me cringe. And definitely understand his sick to stomach feeling but for me, I know I messed up and injured myself when I start dripping sweat, I separated my collarbone from my shoulder blade (ac separation) and got up to sit down and had a puddle at my feet in minutes, annndd that’s why I’m 34 feeling 54 😬😂

[@6.8SuperDutyDriver]

I totally get that it made him sick to his stomach. I had a tourniquet put on and when they tightened it up, it made me sick to my stomach and hurt a lot more than the wounds did.

[@Mtlmshr]

The reaction of the crew chief and owner are to be accepted because that’s part of the job in those positions

[@54raceman]

Hendrick is actually the only owner that would respond that way the rest the owners have there drivers on such a short leash that they damn near can’t use the bathroom without permission

[@darrenfuller2564]

You honestly don’t understand the value of having Mike on the show until he is not there. The pacing is off, Dale rambles without constraint and the voice of the non-racer” is gone.

[@easyenetwork2023]

Take a shot and say Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, every time Jr says right.
