Rich, you never disappoint. Dale jr one of the most candid and direct US motorsport observers

[@ws6069]

You would be hard pressed to find a more kind, genuine, down to earth international sports star than Dale Jr. this is the type of person your kids can look up to… this is an actual “influencer”

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

Not to me.

[@wyattjacobson4779]

​@@BkBk-gy6vrreason?

[@gdaigle9500]

Dale jr has done more for the sport of nascar and head injuries than almost any athlete. Guy is a true HOF’r

[@cindyfagerstrom8825]

The modern Golden Age of Nascar for me was when Dale Jr and Matt Kenseth raced Saturdays in the Busch Series and you still had Dale Sr, Rusty Wallace, Mark Martin, Terry Labonte and Dale Jarrett on Sundays. Ned, Benny and Buddy in the booth with Jerry Punch on pit road.

[@Gr8estspySterlingArcher]

Rich your show would be a great ambassador for the sport!! More NASCAR content would be awesome!!! Plus NASCAR is going on ALL throughout the NFL offseason

[@tinathellama563]

Raise hell praise Dale!

[@ThePrez65]

Great Guest!!

[@SoloMartes]

Great interview! Love the NASCAR tournament idea.

[@aaronblackstone5743]

Great guest! Love JR and his brand.

[@coyote8198]

I listen to all of Dale's interviews and his podcasts. I have a funny moment in 1990 I was at Michigan Speedway driver trailers with my friends and a couple of my friends were Dale Sr's drivers trailer and asked the trailer guy if the sold Dale floor mats or Dale toilet paper for sale. Eveyone started lafing. Those were great times then.

[@treborretsnom6186]

Dale Jr. Is a interesting fellow, i enjoy watching him with athletes at the track.

[@johnfarr2738]

Hope Jr. makes an appearance this summer at Commanders Training camp with Matthew McConaughey.

[@gastonrivera3478]

Next time ask Dale Jr, Which team Dale Sr was pulling for… that answer will be great Rich😂

[@mlstrib]

About this '25 Dale Sr series, no matter what negative thoughts fans have of Theresa Earnhardt this series will be incomplete without her appearance because she is responsible for so much of how Dale's legacy was continued after his passing. I want to at least know Ron Howard put the ball in her court, put it on screen "Theresa Earnhardt was asked to appear but refused to take part". Put the ball in her court and give Theresa every opportunity to tell her story and promote Dale's legacy. She deserves some grace here. Nothing but respect for what Jr is doing for NASCAR today.

[@jamesduran3804]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is righteous dude. It was his crazy fans when he drove that bothered me.

[@Brooks_M3]

Talladega nights 2: Rickie is finishing up his last season of cup racing. He’s retiring and joining Jr and the boys in the booth and the movie ends with him calling Walker or Texas Rangers’ first cup win.

[@quelolol]

My man

[@rubberslug2153]

Nice

[@BDJ725]

Why wasn’t there a question about Dale Jr’s love for the Atlanta Braves?

[@ChoochContrino]

How can you not like that guy?

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

I don’t.

[@Thegeneralms1]

I can’t believe Teresa isn’t suing everyone to make sure the documentary doesn’t happen

[@roberthevern6169]

Be careful what you say, Mr Eisen! 'Cuz we Nascar fans, 'we know a guy'....(whatever that means)! You may think you know Dale Jr, but as a Nascar fan for 50+ years, he has a dark side! If you accidentally bump him, he may just find the right spot where you and that crazy 'desk on a platform' might just exit the track into the who knows what surrounding that race track! Ha ha! Good seeing Jr on the show! Just keep your head on a swivel!! JK OG from I -dee-ho!

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

Dale rarely retaliated because he didn’t have the gonads

[@clemmer2cold]

JUNE BUG

[@johnhenryNC]

I know this won't happen, but I wish Washington would go back to being the Redskins and the Wash. NBA team go back to being the Bullets.

[@cindyfagerstrom8825]

I love Dale Jr, but it's funny as hell when he and Jeff Burton are on together and you have two high pitched whines, running about 6 grand.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

He’ll no that was extremely annoying. So glad Jr will be doing less races this year and hope it stays that way.

[@edscott2433]

A sport that added playoffs now adds a bracket challenge. Sounds like they are desperate for attention.

[@RippingItAllSportsCards]

They all are. All are desperate for viewers.

[@toddedwards5373]

Kinda like the nba adding an in season tournament or baseball adding playoff games.i think the product should stand on it on.but let's face it except for the nfl all other sports have no leverage and basically have to do what their tv partners want for ratings.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

Yea NASCAR is Sad!

[@Jimmybeef223]

Dale Jr is always a good interview. I wish NASCAR would go back to the old model of racing and points. The modern day version of nascar is tough to watch….I’ve kind of given up.

[@alanscott8719]

Nascar sucks daytona track called yesterday to renew my 10 tickets for 500 race and told them to keep them not spending another dime on nascar. Been buying 10 tickets for both races started going in 1979 they have out priced themselves and I am done only live 3 miles from track
