[@rickhattersley2801]

Ok, here's the deal: Dale Jr is not just a legitimately competent interviewer; he's a damn good one. He asks the right questions, and digs deeper until he's satisfied with the answer, which makes for endlessly compelling personal stories on this podcast. Examples: the real story behind Ricky Rudds falling out with Dale Sr and a fascinating account of how Kyle Pettys dad forced him to work in the shop for years before he could get out on the track in his own car. Keep up the good work, Dale. Love the podcast.

[@Sceneyour]

Cuz he asks about the same things he wonders about rather than getting scripted questions from the CIA every morning at 4am like everyone else on TV.

[@stratolestele7611]

You're exactly right. Dale Jr. has a unique and uncommon knack for digging deep. In fact, I'll admit that because he's so good, that Mike annoys me. Can't put my finger on it, but it can be very grating when he jumps in. Maybe lower the volume of his mic

Look into how the King talked about Janet Guthrie back in the day. Or how Kyle dismissed Danica P. Might put some tarnish on your alter...

[@Slinger43]

@@badad0166 You should consider this, Richard raced back when those fire-breathing beasts called Stockcars would crippled & maybe kill you just for looking at them hard ☠️ He & ALL the other drivers had every right to be very concerned about Ms Janet racing against them on a big-very fast racetrack. Also, as I recall it was Richard (Not Kyle) that made the comment about Danica at an event in Canada. The problem with your complaint there is he spoke the honest truth concerning Ms Patrick & if the truth offends you 🤷🏻‍♂️ Long live The King!

Love these stories. Amazing how protected Kyle was versus todays 5 year old kids.

[@davidgrohman5846]

I have pictures of Kyle Petty on his Dad's lap holding the 1971 Daytona 500 Trophy after the "V"ictory at the 13th Daytona 500, sitting in the #43 Petty Blue Plymouth. He was around 10 years old. Ron Grana, ARCA Driver, was my neighbor and invited me to go with his Dad Cy Grana & the B&K Hydraulics 1971 Blue Chevelle #5 "Skeeter VI" to 1971 Speedweeks at Daytona and the ARCA 300 Race. I Met Ramo Stott who was a couple cars down from us in the ARCA garage tent, who was getting some help from Richard Petty so it seemed. Richard came over to talk with Ron & Cy about their performance in the ARCA 300 & the teams qualifying for the previous year 1970 Daytona 500. That year, the Grana Team was running a 1969 Ford Torino #5 painted Blue. They did very well in that car in all of the races they entered and qualified for. Richard asked Ron, "Do you know anybody that could wire up a portable electric welder?" "Ramo's crew needs to use it on their ARCA Car." Ron looked at me and said..."Dave can!" "He's an Electrician!" I was 20 years old at the time and soon to be off to Vietnam in the U.S. Navy. Mr. Petty showed me the welder and I told him what size of wire he needed for the welder. He took off with one Ramo Stott's crew after I had found an Electrical Panel about 100 feet away attached to the cyclone wire fence of the tent garage. I showed Mr. Petty what I had found and that there was a 60Amp / 240V. Double Pole Breaker that was not being used. He smiled and said, "GREAT!" "Will that work?" I said to Mr. Petty, "If you can get me some #6 wire, I'll make it work!" "I'll be right back Dave!" After about 15 minutes, here comes Mr. Petty with a huge cable in #4 Gauge, S.O.W. 3 Conductor Cable over 150 ft. long loaded up a a Taylor Dunn Flat Bed electric truck. He was all smiles as he drove it up to where I was waiting at the electric panel. Then Mr. Petty and a couple of Ramo's Crew, started to uncoil the cable and string it over to the #7 Plymouth ARCA Car, where the welder waited to be energized. I did my part at the electric panel and then went over to finish wiring up the welder. Then Mr. Petty rode back to the electric panel and turned on the circuit breaker. He quickly returned and asked me, "Are we all set Dave?" " Yep!" "Fire it up!" On came the welder and the crew started to weld on the car. All told this took about 45 minutes. Mr. Petty thanked me with a firm handshake and a pat on my shoulder. I said, "Your Welcome Mr. Petty!" I then returned to the Grana Car and started to hand polish the rear deck lid. About 2 hours later, up walks Mr. Petty with Miss Hurst Shifters, Linda Vaughn. He introduced her to Ron, his Dad, Cy Grana and the rest of the team. I was laying low. Then Mr. Petty asks Ron & Cy if he could borrow me again. "I need Dave to escort Linda around the track and she is going to buy him lunch!" Then Mr. Petty comes over to me and introduces me to Miss Hurst. Mr. Petty was all smiles as he studied my reaction. Linda said, "Let's go Dave!" I'm hungry!" Off we went, arm in arm and the rest of the story is history. How I got the never seen photo of Kyle on his Dad's lap in the #43 Plymouth and the other pictures I had taken of Mr. Petty giving me the "V" for Victory Sign inside Victory Lane after he had won the 1971 Daytona 500, with his entire family at his side will be revealed if requested. I soon plan on sending Mr. Kyle Petty, the pictures that I had taken. I pray that he will share them with all of you someday. I will be sending the pictures to Mr Kyle Petty as soon as I can scan them onto a memory stick. This coming February 2021, it will be "50 Years" since I had the honor of helping "The King" and the Ramo Stott Crew with their welder. One last piece of ARCA History. Ramo Stott's #7 Plymouth won the ARCA 300 on February 7, 1971 that year. Ron Grana's #5 Blue 1971 Chevelle, started 22nd and finished 33rd after the radiator hose let loose and the engine blew on lap 15! Then a few days later, on Sunday, Mr. Petty won the 13th Annual Daytona 500 in his #43 Petty Blue Plymouth. I wonder if Mr. Richard Petty will remember the 20 year old kid from Farmington Hills, Michigan who hooked up his welder and then said to him latter that afternoon when he came back by the Grana garage team area, to wish us good luck in the ARCA 300 Race. I said to him, "Good Luck Mr. Petty in Sunday's Daytona 500!" The King then said to me............ "Dave, You can call me Richard!" "You've earned it!" I then replied, "Thank You Mr. Petty!" He laughed and said to me "THANK YOU!" As the King turned to walk away in the ARCA Garage Tent, I then said to him....."Hey Richard!" The King stopped and turned towards me. I held up my right hand giving him the "V" hand sign and said to him as he smiled......."V" for VICTORY IN SUNDAY"S DAYTONA 500!" The King replied as he gave me back the "V"ictory hand sign, "V" for VICTORY DAVE!"............... "I LIKE THAT!!!!!" The rest is History. Hope I did not bore anyone with my story. Today, March 19, 2020, I pray all Americans honor God, Family and Country, in all we do! I am very blessed to have had the opportunity in sharing a moment in time, of my life, with strangers who need a moment to reflect on their lives. Please remember to smile, pray and have faith in these times of uncertainty as AMERICANS who love their Country. God Bless! Dave, The Electrician

I was there with my dad in the grandstands, near the entrance to pit road, the day that Kyle Petty won that Arca race in his white and blue Magnum. I am a huge Petty fan (still am) and was routing for Kyle the whole race. The first time that Kyle came into the pits it also looked like he almost came in too hot entering pit road. It was a surprisingly tight turn given the speeds the drivers had been running. He had a great car, but it was still an enormous challenge and blessing to enter and win his very first race. Great memories! Btw: I was probably in middle school am now in my early 50s, but still remember it well!

[@kylevantassel7259]

Not sure JR meant to do it but yes , this show will do more for NASCAR in the long run that any single person every has in a drivers seat.

So I was in the stands for the 93 race. Kyle was the fastest car out there.. He could pull out and pass, without help.. For some reason every pit stop he would lose spots.. I later learned his Pit Crew had been compromised by an Alcohol event earlier in the week.. Anyway I saw the 90 car on a collision course with Kyle. If he could have heard me hollering, Slow Down.. He would have surely won his First Daytona 500. Hope there's more with Kyle on NBC.

[@dangates2266]

I can relate to Kyle's first trip around Daytona. My first experience in a race car was at the 1/4 mile clay Brockville Ontario Speedway in the early- to mid-70s. I had won the local soap box derby and one of the prizes was a "lap" around the track with a driver. Pick your favourite and away you go. I ended up on the rear fender tub with a grin so big you could see it in the stands. Everyone else putted around but George Herbison looked over and saw how much fun I was having and opened it up. I don't think we did race speeds, but while everyone else was getting out of their rides, I got 2 laps sideways.

He says they are an excellent group, that his son really enjoys the time there and was surprised by the level of care. It is one more great thing about the Petty family.

[@aaronmachado13]

Not gonna lie, I loved the way Richard raised Kyle with the mindset of “ respect speed cause it may not respect you back” coming from motocross so many athletes use it to sharpen their skill from Valentino Rossi to Kimi Raikkonen. And the point about knowing how to fix the car honestly is what made those older racers amazing at car setups and development, with the gen 6 car I couldn’t imagine any of the drivers being about to torque the lug nuts properly

[@collinjamesguitar]

So fucking glad that Jr is doing this show. God damn did we need this. NASCAR itself has totally abandoned us fans. IMO. I’m sure Jr might disagree with me (or privately maybe not) but regardless, he’s a treasure and so is this podcast.
