They sound more like brothers than team mates. Glad to here the back story’s.

[@mitchellrussavage6033]

Two of the most likable people in NASCAR. You guys are my childhood. You guys are awesome.

Man I could listen to these 2 talk to each other all day.

This is what's going to save Nascar....Jr show.

[@jonp3890]

Mike Robinson Sr. It has brought me back a little bit, for sure.

[@joshawott331]

As much as I love the podcast, I don't see how this makes me want to watch a race, this will be a time capsule for the history of Nascar no doubt

[@ryanralph7494]

@@joshawott331 guess it affects everyone differently. I stopped watching in 04-05. This show brought me back last year

[@joshawott331]

@@ryanralph7494 as an update I kinda said this out of arrogance, but in a way I get how it makes you want to watch a race and catch the moments they talk about, but honestly listening to one podcast makes me just want to listen to another

[@ryanralph7494]

@@joshawott331 it definitely took multiple podcasts and them talking about current rwving events that peaked my interest

[@larrywt656]

Watching the show on Tuesday I was surprised to find out that Junior and Jimmie were such good friends even before they became teammates. I was also surprised to find out that straight-laced Jimmie was such a partyer!! I guess Ricky Hendrick really was a big influence with them.

[@tcmusic6429]

[@BurnNotice2023]

Yeah for the longest time I always had JR's comment "He doesn't know what he's doing" in my mind after they wrecked at either Talladega or Daytona, lol.

[@joshawott331]

You gonna party when you get your first couple millions?

[@lotusamg6997]

The Rick Hendrick party story was hilarious. One of the best episodes so far!

[@dylanmccollum8865]

I feel like when Jr talked about them wanting to be teammates is basically the equivalent of wanting to be classmates with your best friend 😂😂😂

[@fulltiltgonzales]

I am a brand new fan - Dale Jr's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast introduced me to the wonderful person that Dale Jr. seems to really be, and I just have to say that this Jimmie Johnson fellow is such an impressive PRESENCE as well. What charisma and charm! This conversation is just awesome. Makes me want to get into the sport. I realize how little I know about racing, but it says that Jimmie Johnson is a 7-time NASCAR champion? That means that he must be one of the greatest drivers of all-time!!!

[@jimmiejohnson4871]

Yep one of the greatest. His championships tie Dale Earnhardt Sr and Richard Petty. Jimmie is the best driver of the 00s for sure and early 2010s but sadly in recent years age has caught up to him it seems and hes not as great as he once was. Hes retiring after this season.

[@stevenwalker9013]

No lower than 5 for even haters. For me he is in top 3. Maybe the greatest, they changed the rules every yr because he won 5 championships in a row!! In a row!!! With the rule changes and competition I don’t know how anyone can argue him not being the very best

[@acrock21]

man Jimmie looks so young without his beard! i bet he could race another 20 years! like Mark Martin =D I'm friends with a guy, his brother was a ski champion a while back and was hired for ski lessons by Jimmie

[@vaderthedog2799]

I booed Jimmie because he was winning all the time. He was beating my guy. We went to his last race at Talladega, Texas and Daytona last year and I cheered for him like he was my guy. In a weird way, everyone wanted Jimmie to get one more win. Such a good guy and I’ll be cheering him on in IRL.

[@jasonreisenberger1285]

It still blows me away that I shared the pages of the September/October 2018 issue of Bicycling Magazine with Jimmie.

I'd really like these guys to discuss the 2011 arrons 499 and them two plate racing together

[@BrianABowlin]

"One mile in and I'm getting flipped off". With your bike gear on no one knows who you are, so you're finally getting the same treatment that everyone else gets. I remember from a previous show, you said "everyone is so nice" and your wife said, "they're only nice because it's you". This is a good example of that.

[@DeanJohnson67]

Would love to see Jimmy @ Leadville in 2021! Other crossover sports stars have come and of course done fantastic. I remember my first time there in 2014 pre-riding some of the course for the first time and WHAM there was Jason Sehorn from the Giants!
