Dale Jr. & Austin Cindric: How to Be a Good Teammate

Being a good teammate can be defined differently across motorsports. In F1, your teammate is your No. 1 enemy. In NASCAR? It's a little different. Dale Jr. asks Austin Cindric how to be a good teammate and how his experiences have shaped his perspective. Dale shares his own teammate stories, including why Jeff Gordon and him didn't always work well together.

My respect level for Austin went up to a 10 after listening to this podcast, I’m not a Ford guy, Chevy for life, but he’s an awesome dude and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in the cup series

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Yep same here

[@chrisatkins3073]

He is going to be good for a long time. This was a great show.

[@hizgrase]

This guy , his knowledge and how he Carrie’s himself at his age…. Impressive. Just as a human and person. His”generation” could stand to learn a lot from him as well as racing. Just impressive.

[@kimberlyokeeffe5360]

I listened to the podcast yesterday and watched this today and yup, I even more impressed with this young driver then I had been. I feel he will go far and will set the bar for those that will be coming up behind him.

[@JohnYenchick]

That ending was awesome! I’m going for the full podcast now!

[@henryrodriguez6072]

God the showdown at COTA between Cindric and Elliott is going to be WILD 😬 😱

[@halweilbrenner9926]

Road course. Real racing.

[@alexortega626]

Best teammate out of the whole cup series: Ryan Blaney. You can NOT change my mind.

[@slipstream7324]

I always thought Brad K. was the best teammate while Logano was the worst. After Blaney's Daytona 500 finish and interview mentioning "i wanted to make sure penske wins" i agree with you.

[@bparks_5095]

I always thought Penske teammates worked together the best out of any other team. Brad Joey and Ryan always worked well together well yet raced each other hard. The occasional exception such as the Daytona 500 last year 😅

[@InsignificantNick]

Always love when Jimmie is brought up!

[@collectingsoda8571]

Austin is easily the most talented overall DRIVER that has came up lately of the last 5 or so years. Damn good Wheelman and so versatile

[@TheTwotimezz]

i enjoyed this one! 9:24 i liked it when the music kicked in! sad it was only 9 minutes

[@jefferyrobertson7520]

Thanks For Uploading ☺😎

[@patrickbrooks0957]

They should ask Blaney since he won the 500 for him

[@tukn24s]

Thank you!

[@markrobertdevison1227]

Cindric was my favorite driver in Xfinity and he is top three for me in Cup.

[@Lane_KellerRW24]

Chase Briscoe is my favorite driver now.

[@craigparrish3582]

The 8 was in the wind .

[@carltonsprague7346]

I Like it when theirs 2 Fords and 20 Chevys. It reflects all those home-town racetracks around the world. New Zealand hometown racetracks yes been there done that. Can't say too much about that other brand ( not that I even pay attention though. Sorry, Coach.

[@jordandrye350]

I actually like Cindric.

[@drakeaamold7577]

God is good

[@KSparks80]

Aahhhh. Well done, Weedhopper. But one must always carry with them the other lesson to be learned here. The other truth you must carry forward within you. That truth being that Dog is Doog. Do not forget it, Weedtoker. As it must never be. You must go now. Go, Weedeater. Go. Knowing that God is Good. That Dog is Doog.

[@munafo13]

I like this kid...

[@ThePapaJ81]

Cindric was touring my Ford plant yesterday. Flat Rock Assembly Plant the home of the REAL Mustang.

[@drakeaamold7577]

God bless 🙏

[@javislice]

i'm a real big fan of cindric, hope he continues to build on his early season

[@tylerjohnson8024]

He just said why jimmy won so much.

[@halweilbrenner9926]

Big kick when Bowyer contacted Logan on radio and Logano responded with "Yeah prick"....

[@N2r6S]

You mean Kenseth?

[@GodzillaGaming111]

Oh boy

[@shanekasowski5090]

Dale you will love carsons giant arm and he finally has a number 1 receiver for first time, it should be awesome to watch

[@hotrodbmx]

First off, I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. Look forward to it every week! Secondly, Austin has lots of talent. But as far as listening to him speak, I'd rather watch paint dry.

[@Darius.Aviation]

wtf that thumbnail 💀

[@coffeeblack1057]

Anybody else like listening to the race on the radio? Well idk what station your mrn is on but here in spartanburg sc.. its a country station and lemme tell you... it never fails.. after each race is over and they start playing music again. It's always the WORST SONGS!! Omg!! Lol. Can not turn the station fast enough!! And it doesn't matter who wins whether it's my boy Harvick or... dick pickle. Lol.

[@Bluenoser27]

Thanks jr. When he was explaining to you everything about his cockpit did you ever sit in Jimmie Johnson's car while you were teammates and an active racer in the series?

[@rabbi4skin666]

Austin Looks like a 34 year old with how he looks. Hard to belive he was born in 1998

[@johnmiller4553]

🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@matthewthompson89]

Yes there is a lot of skeptics because it’s his first year as a rookie and his dad is president at team Penske but time will tell what he does

[@karinelambert1686]

Joey logano is the best Penske teammate change my mind

[@c.d.8975]

He should talk to ryan preece. That boy won a truck race once.

[@Thegeneralms1]

Really bad teammate. Blaney should never have let him drop down in the 500. Im still pissed about that.

[@scottbagley8577]

he doesn't need to be a good team mate he got the MONEY!!! the team mate can walk that's how SILVERSPOON is

[@papaemeritus8252]

I’ve decided. Cindric needs a beard or facial hair. He will be instantly 10x more likeable.

[@Greg1_c]

He can't

[@shermgreenland331]

Terrible teammate to a class act like Blaney, hopefully Penske drops him.

[@iangardner2392]

Austin’s father is the manager of Penske, so thinking he’s around for a while.

[@nickcooler2658]

Cindric Admits being a bad teammate

[@jesselman30]

Then your second failed attempt at being a teammate was at Blaneys expense as well putting him in the wall last corner of the Daytona 500 where Blaney clearly had a run.

[@mutantryeff]

Ryan Blaney is good; Joey is "Moldy Toast" (formerly "Sliced Bread"); and, then you have Ke-Lousy-ki

[@the_toeknee]

Jij bent een boomer

[@kevincantrell1459]

Keselowski left penske this year. Pay attention

[@mutantryeff]

@@kevincantrell1459 I guess you didn't listen to the video. He was mentioned early on.
