I can tell Dale likes hearing these stories, but in a way I'm sure it hurts. He never knew his dad like these other men did. He was just learning about this side of his dad when he passed away.

[@DixytheGoat9]

Exactly hes learning more and more of what his dad was like off the track more than he knows

[@ivanmay7890]

Rusty really loved Dale very much, and I think when Dale died, it really shook his confidence. I miss Dale just as much as Rusty.

[@austinblansett9900]

I could listen to these two talk for hours

[@daleearnhardtsmustache3984]

Don’t get many off-track stories of Dale. Always cool to hear them.

[@saulrojas9031]

Looking at Jr's face you can tell he loves hearing these stories.

[@gem7107]

He looked emotional.

[@DixytheGoat9]

And he's learning more about his dad than he knows

[@addisonbook8812]

@Saul Rojas I miss these two on the racetrack because the Nascar then is the cleaner rivalry compared to now. Those guys then had a better head then the drivers now cause the new kids now are slightly selfish depending on who there racing for

[@supreme3-6-94]

@@DixytheGoat9 exactly Dale Jr is Hearing stories Of his Father From other View points AWESOME. Sure Do miss You BOTH EARNHARDT'S R.I.P. DALE SR. & MR. RALPH EARNHARDT.

[@dustinmcintosh6799]

i agree. i think he enjoys these stories as much as we do.

[@flyjarrett]

I love Junior’s body language listening to Rusty’s stories. Eyes wide open, leaning forward, totally engaged and hanging on every word.

[@DixytheGoat9]

Cause he's learning more about his dad then he knows

[@jeffclayton9968]

Much respect for Rusty.

[@brianmoran5705]

Rusty didn't hold anything back. He told it like it was back in the day. A great interview. I Love this show that Dale Jr has going on. Can't wait till his next show. God Bless.

[@TheNyarcangel]

I could listen to Dale stories all day

[@paultaylor5600]

Dale you have found your calling. I love your podcasts. Keep them coming. Love hearing these old stories.

[@brianjoy3407]

Things that Nascar's past cant reproduce genuine racers. New school drivers are all polished and "refined" guys like Rusty and Dale Sr were REAL racers. Love to sit have a beer and hear stories like these for hours. Great podcasts JR. Watch all of em. Keep the Dirty Mo train truckin I'll always be along for the ride

[@danhendrickson9572]

Well put Brian. There's just something missing from today's drivers. Something that the old school guys had and today's guys never had and never will.

[@brianjoy3407]

@@danhendrickson9572 you said it Dan. Just something...made them heros in my eyes compared to "most of todays drivers" granted theres alot of talent today...but missing the grit of the old school

[@tomjohnson5597]

I think it is the "old school, every man" feel. Those guys could be my dad or grandfather. For all of his achievements Jimmy Johnson doesn't have the same appeal for me as the Dales, Rusty or even Jeff Gordon; and I don't mean that as an insult! Like old people in a small town, they were characters.

[@danhendrickson9572]

thats at least part of the reason why there are so many empty seats at these races.

[@KDubb-ws9zc]

@@danhendrickson9572 it’s just that it factor man. Jeff Gordon had Kyle Busch kind of has it but not a lot of other guys do

[@davidwilliams4387]

I love hearing from all of the 80's and 90's guys!!! Keep it up, Jr.!!!

[@gem7107]

Rusty talked about the snowball derby in Pensacola. I was on a fishing charter in Pensacola in the early 90's and the captain of our boat was the former owner of the race track that the snowball derby was held. He told us a bunch of cool stories. Cool hearing stories from Rusty. I miss the days when they were running in NASCAR.

[@corys1099]

I found out about this channel from the joe Rogan experience podcast. Don’t know much about NASCAR but listening to the stories, I have searched races. I have been learning sooo much about the skill/technique/style of driving that goes into the sport. I never knew how much went into this sport. The “Poor and Stupid” episode of South Park shows how stupid a normal humans can be looking at this sport. Not only is science going in, but bravery. I’ve came to see NASCAR is awesome! I remember seeing the wreck of Earnhardt, but listening to these podcasts makes me wonder and appreciate the sport and also appreciate the drivers. These kids today have it so good.

[@shyers1]

Thankful you started this. Love the old school drivers.

[@jeffclayton9968]

JR. Congratulations on your success. Glad to see your doing well.

[@timprescott4634]

These guys remember EVERY race they’ve run. Great stuff!

[@aaronrico8795]

Damn.... brings tears to my eyes. Aint the same since Dale Sr. Passed away. R.I.P. DALE EARNHARDT SR 🏁

[@robertholland9651]

Since 1988 I’ve always been a Dale Earnhardt fan. It’s nice hearing the stories from owner, drivers , and pit crew guys. It’s a different side of races that we would never see so thank you so much.

[@PETTIGREW1861]

This really makes me miss NASCAR. I love Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace. I wish I could get in to today's NASCAR but I can't. Guess I'm too old. Thanks for making these podcasts Dale Jr. They are really good.

[@k4391]

I really like to here from the older racers. You should see if Ricky Rudd would come on and do a show.

[@ghostfarmer358]

I would love to hears Rudd's thoughts on Big E

[@Nblades78]

Rudd and I'd like to see Ernie Irvan too!

[@DoWork316]

I have recently stumbled upon these vids during my Chinese flu holiday. I love these interviews and backstories but what i love most is watching a son listen with every fiber about his father and eating it all up. Thats the best part. A father leaves a lifelong impression on his son, whatever shape that takes. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@supersportrsz28]

Now these are great memories. To see these two race was an honor and something that made NASCAR such an amazing sport to witness

[@richardmalone4721]

These insights are excellent. I know my face glows like Jr.’s hearing stories about my father from friends he ran with. Thank you for the Show Dirty-Mo’!

[@benjamingebhart]

I agree, I wish they would have kept talking for hours! Great interview.

[@jasonjackson5493]

Can't stand NASCAR anymore. Haven't watched a race in...at least 15 years now. But I can't get enough of Junior's show.

[@tcmusic6429]

No one cares

[@ThisIsWilliamPhelps]

4:07 When I saw he gave back what he received, that's when Rusty became my favorite driver back in the day.

[@viningperformancemotorspor1457]

We need an interview with Kenny Wallace too.

[@crazykellywfo4240]

THIS IS SOOOO COOL, I COULD LISTEN TO THESE OLD STORIES ALL DAY.

[@lanbrick5826]

All the good one’s are gone or retired! A lot of people probably laugh at me with my sad comments but it is what it is ! I don’t watch racing anymore! It hurts because the old NASCAR is gone ! Those of us that don’t have any friends or much of a social life, These people and the sport are like family members but now it’s not the same and it feels pretty lonely out here and it’s not a good feeling. Guess my opinion is pretty trivial considering the current climate in the world! Guess my point is that not everyone is the same and people deal with things in different ways, Be respectful of people , There lives and what they believe in is important too! Thanks Dale Jr for preserving those stories and great memories of the past ! Everyone out there take care!

[@TheHemiphil81]

I love these podcasts, especially jr being my favorite driver. I would really like to see Kenny Wallace on here, he is such a great guy.

[@stevensmith8923]

I love this for the Earnhardt fans and I love this for junior. I think it's kind of therapeutic for him he's looking good these days. Keep on keepin on, like your daddy said don't lift.

[@indycustommade3568]

This was so awesome. I would bet everything that they hated each other when they ran. To find out they were good friends. You can really tell the admiration these guys have for Dale. He was just a good'ole boy.

[@crw3673]

I never knew these guys got along so well off the track. I had hated rusty for winning that 88 or 89 championship. Now a change of heart.

[@ThaddMcNamara]

More with Rusty, PLEASE!!!

He gave the command at TMS! It was so cool to be there!

[@jhaeck1]

good stories

I truly wished we could talk Tim Richmond. This man was the party

[@randallmiller8238]

I've heard Tim called the "Elvis" of NASCAR

[@ghosttownme]

I was at that Richmond race as a kid. Biggest Gordon fan and my grandmother was a Rusty fan. Rusty punted him right in front of our seats. I was so upset and was in tears. Grandma didn’t say a word the rest of the race. Rusty made her grandson cry and she didn’t like Rusty much more after that. I still can’t stand Rusty.

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Yeah its cool to hear the story from other people not all people like to talk explain stuff...

Wish I had that set up list.

[@stranger5088]

My memory of Dale and Rusty is when Rusty barrel rolled at Talladega I believe it was and Dale come around next lap wide open through the grass over to check on Rusty. That’s how close they were. Don’t know that you’d see that nowadays.

[@dalegroves1918]

Rusty always a lot of animation, he was my mom's favorite driver and Earnhardt was mine.

"3 Forever" 😎😎

[@davidrice3337]

JR was very smart to get out of the car- when you take a step back and look at this analytically It just makes sense-he has nothing to prove to anyone and his talents extend far beyond the cockpit- like anyone who watches these i am facinated by the anecdotes and always laugh about something- Both JR and Mike ask good questions and they let the guests tell their story nuff said

[@josephbalachick1879]

dude asks a great question about when they met

[@ColoradoCarrolls]

It was Winston 500 when Wallace got turned by Earnhardt and ended up pinned wheeled over and over. Press came to Dale and asked what his take on it was, Holding Rustys Glove up saying "I have his gloves" He was nervous that he F**ked Rusty up bad but he was alright. Never forget that, you knew they were close by his candor after that wreck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DbanaGgsitiNk @7:05

[@caseyaylward8853]

Rusty is the man. That dude could race. He was consistently good from the day he started to the day he retired. Yeah, he went a while without winning races, but he was finishing top 10 damn near every race. Plus he drove the Miller Light car, and Budweiser sucks sorry Dale

[@DavidRomero-yv2oy]

How about interviewing the Labonte Brothers, Terry and Bobby

[@jesuschristislord6790]

Rusty wrecking Gordon at Richmond was dirty. Gordon didnt deserve that. And 98 was one of the best seasons of all time and it could have been even better, if rusty wasnt such a bitter baby
