Dale Jr.'s Full Day Of Sprint Car Racing At Lernerville Speedway | Dale Jr Download

Check out Dale Jr.'s reactions from his first time attending a winged sprint car race. He went up to Lernerville Speedway in Pennsylvania to get the low down on the High Limit Sprint Car Series from Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet. He jumped in a push truck, hung out with fans, and even ordered a cheeseburger from the infield concessions stand. Needless to say, it was an honest look at what dirt racing fans experience every week.

[@dougreid1206]

winged sprint cars put on a great show-but the USAC wingless cars are crazy -much wilder show

[@bollie8584]

Seen many forms of racing over ths years including nascar and indy car, but nothing compares to 25 of those 900+hp fighter jets flying around a race track..high, low, middle. The slidejobs, the vapor trails, the wheel stands, the crazy fans etc. Nothing like it in motorsports!!

[@mikejones2830]

I love about all forms of motorsports but dirt latemodels and 410 sprint cars are absolutely tops

[@piedpiper8355]

Agreed. About time us dirt guys get some recognition.

[@daveintbdaveintb3624]

Yes. Indeed

[@DirtInMyBeer94]

Dirt racing is the best on track product that you can see in the racing world. I hope and want this sport to continue to grow.🤙🏁

[@Holm779]

All this dirt coverage is great

[@chrisdownum4374]

Always great to get a boost for grass roots dirt racing! Appreciate Jr’s support and Larson’s and Brad Sweets’s efforts. It’s just SO good for racing as a whole!

[@Frank-o5l1c]

I think if all these tours like world of outlaws, lucas oil late models, pavement modifieds, cars tour, usac ect. unified they could put together something that could compete directly with nascar on television

[@mikewestfall1380]

Now Dale JR knows why we love dirt racing.

[@cliff4695]

After all these years, Jr finally understands dirt racing. Its all good but, nothing compares to the 410 series. Best of all, he really enjoyed himself

[@brandonrumley8322]

Absolutely nothing compares to a 410 some people snort for it jab a vain for it and all one has to do is strap in

[@TorsionGuy]

Thank you for stepping into our world and thankful you had a great time!

[@jaysom2240]

love the genuine excitement by these guys when they describe the night. Super cool to see. Thank you for promoting the sport ive loved my whole life.

[@davidburchfield2720]

Very glad you'll had a great time

[@vernonmargheim2742]

I live in Indiana and after moving here 10 years ago from Washington state I was able to go experience dirt for the first time this year. I’m now a fan. I went to 5 different tracks and watched hornets to sprint cars. Unbelievable how many people race dirt compare to asphalt. I know find myself wanting more

[@busher69]

Asphalt is for paving roads that take you to dirt tracks where they race. You have some great tracks in Indiana. I liked Gas City, it's a Chico CA , Silver Dollar Speedway with a better surface. Gas City is one racy joint.

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

Get yourself to Eldora. It's amazing. I've been to Knoxville for the Nationals as well. My home track is in southern Indiana, Tri-State speedway.

[@NikV-s7i]

Skagit speedway in Washington state is a national level facility that place is awesome. There is great dirt racing on the west coast but yeah the popularity is on another level in the Midwest

[@NikV-s7i]

Also like the other person said eldora is a must. The sold out atmosphere with 30k people there is crazy. Kings royal and world 100 late model race are the two biggest events

[@MaxEliason]

Lawrenceburg is worth seeing if you haven't been there yet too. Glad to hear you enjoyed the move

[@justineinerson2623]

Nothing beats 410 sprint car racing

[@StickA-yd4fp]

Anyone else excited Dale is getting into dirt? And was that Kerry inside the Trailer?

[@geothefisher]

410 Sprint cars are the greatest show on earth. More horsepower and half the weight of almost any other racing car. Jr. needs to take one for a spin!!! Glad you guys had such a good time, and I hope to see you do more shows like this!

[@roberthevern6169]

Fantastic episode! Jr, Mike, LW, and Wyatt ... great job on both episodes! That's why I NEVER miss the DJD!!! Thanks!

[@shellycasbeer3775]

Are you going to attend the world finals in Charlotte dirt track in Nov? You should

[@lynnbaynes2128]

And the dirt…it’s everywhere. Even ends up in your pockets 🤣🤣🤣 love dirt racing ❤️👋🦩

[@Kat612]

Always awesome when racing legends show up at the local dirt track

[@RyanDingley-l8u]

Dale and Mike! Fairbury Speedway for the 2024 Prairie Dirt Classic!!! Best dirt late model race in the country

[@Fathead758]

"the fans are passionate" Bud your in the heart of P A posse country it don't get more passionate for sprint car racing

[@toddbowser9415]

BAR NONE!!! BEST TYPE OF RACING is the sprints, Steve Kinser is still the king of the sprint cars,but young money IS pretty awesome

[@KarenMansfield-f9e]

Thanks for the shout out! Glad you liked your ride in my Jeep, and remember to come to the Dirt Track at Charlotte for the World Finals and I will let you drive :-)

[@nickg0411]

Dirt is so different and its great to see this

[@michaelross59]

Looking forward to hearing what you think of Dirt late model racing Dale. If you every get a chance I hope you attend a Big Block Super Dirtcar series race. thanks for supporting small town local tracks.

[@TubbzyXBL]

yes, the mods are awesome.

[@georgecash4584]

Was great seeing it, when Tony Stewart took Waltrip around the track in that 2 seater Late Model. Wild ride for Waltrip! Gotta get JR in that!

[@daleblack3536]

The young men and women with the same passion and excitement as Wyatt will drive the future of racing. Best of luck to you, young man. 🏆

[@cracklecracklebaybay5612]

Being someone who grew up in the pits of midget and sprint car racing, I love to see Jr and so many more getting to experience just what it is. Even if for just a brief moment.

[@heathbiere1404]

Hey you guys really need to try and Make it to the Knoxville Nationals next year!!

[@DSmith-ze2qs]

Larson is so talented and fortunate to get these extra dirt rides, being able to bring in Dirty Mo - fan fking tastic to see Dale and Mike flying in for yhe night, special for All fand alike, even here on U-tube... Do it in tbe Dirt!

[@paintgunmassacre3581]

I just think is so badass that Dale Jr. A guy many think can walk on water and is such an icon to the sport of "Racing"can stay so humble and not let any of that ever go to his head says a lot about a man. To hang out with the people that make it all happen, walk with the fans to getting your own dam cheeseburgers.. That is so dam cool man and the reason your legacy will live on for many generations 👍

[@rickarra1833]

That was super cool you went last night.

[@RoosterandJax]

Grew up in the 70's at Lernerville and Mercer, at 15 years old I was able to help crew with a local legend who also happens to be TJ'S dad, great times to grow up.

[@geoffarcuri7877]

This is awesome. It’s so amazing how two legends are so passionate about where they came from and helping each other make their individual series that much better. Everybody wins in this scenario. And just so happens to be my 2 favorite drivers! I love it.

[@dennycelestinohybridspecies]

Dale junior, you have an incredible life! From a stock car legend son and two time Busch series champion & one of the most popular Winston cup/NASCAR drivers and my favorite after your dad and now you are an ambassador in stock car racing. I wish your dad as well as my dad could see all the cool things you're doing online as well as buying the CARS tour. Me and my dad would go to Hooters cup races in Lakeland and new Smyrna FL back in the day it would be so awesome to see the CARS race in person. Me and my dad were truck drivers I know how it's like to look up to your old man and we see this Burt Reynolds character when I'm five years old gear jamming checking on the CB every now and then putting the mic in front of me when I was 5 years old, or even going to the junk yards to get parts for the 53 Chevy Bel Air we restored in many of his restorations. Or of course going to NASCAR races or stock car races or dirt track races where we bonded the most outside the 18 Wheeler and our classic cars. One of the last soundings me and my dad ever went to before his passing in November 2013 was the Turkey rod run classic car show November 2012 at Daytona Speedway even though we didn't get four past the gate cause dad couldn't really walk too well it was a great bonding moment at the world's most famous Speedway. Thank you for everything you've done Dale Earnhardt junior! God bless you and your family and friends As well as us fans of yours!

[@AK-zw1re]

Dale Jr your excitement and perspectives about 410 sprint car racing is awesome. Your presence and podcast just helped sprint car racing grow. Great job to you and your podcast team.

[@kman3444]

Dale needs to climb in one and try it out.. That would be an awesome episode.

[@jamesemmeneckersr.1875]

Thanks for SOS... Saving Our Sport. Your passion for sports shows through. I was running a sportman during a spring practice. There was a Sprint Car at the track. The very first time he went screaming by me I felt like I was in a bad Hugo...

[@JAF-pd9mw]

I've seen some terrific dirt track racing at Lernerville over the decades. Glad Dale, Mike and crew enjoyed the night and have a new appreciation for it. It's good for local racing.

[@jeffrioux4900]

Always great to see how you all support the grass roots racers...... mike is right, unless you have been close to a sprint car cornering at full song, you cant understand how that is possible.....brings back memories of Super Dirt week at Syracuse when the Outlaws ran on the Moody Mile...Those boys were blurs.......

[@somethinburnin]

"Cousin" Davey!! David Gravel taking the $50,000 with Dale Jr watchin! Kiiiiick Ass!!! To bad Jeff Gordon wasn't there with his sprint car background to join you guys.

[@joepatriot6431]

I worked the fire crew and pushed for a number of years at Port Royal. They are correct. Watching from the stands and watching from just inside the turn 3 -4 wall is so much different. When they come into the turn wide open and pass within ten to fifteen feet of you, the sheer power and speed and sound of these cars cuts right through you. It definitely gives you a whole new perspective and respect for the speed these cars are traveling. If you ever have the chance to experience that, DO IT.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Juniors connection to his roots and fans is remarkable!!!

[@BobbyB-go5wk]

Dirt Racing is got all the Action! Best racing for sure. You can be the best and find yourself on the wall in turn two. Never know what you just might get. Super Late models are my favorite. Like all racing But you like scary? CHECK OUT THE BAD FAST TAZ AT TAZEWELL, TN.

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

That was be amazing to get to just hanging and watch sprint cars with Dale Jr.

[@jesseweaver_fuyt]

Dale you really want to see some of the best sprint car racing you have to come to Williams Grove speedway for the national open and cross the pedestrian bridge before they remove it for good. You also have to sit on "BEER HILL" at the grove and experience that. They also have beer hill merch as well.Than another one I recommend is coming back to Port Royal speedway for the Tuscarora 50 and watch the whole weekend.

[@Dooguy]

I know there are hundreds of dirt tracks across this great nation but Looneyville is something special Been goin there since as a infant in 1968. RIP Don Martin.

[@busher69]

I liked Mike's comment about Wyatt not gonna run the bottom, it reminded me of the quote from the Great Jack Hewitt, "if you're gonna run the bottom, you might as well get a job".

[@brandonrumley8322]

Definitely have to love Jack Hewitt he's worth listening to because you never know what he is doing to say

[@busher69]

You got that right, I've only heard the story about Jack knockin' a couple of Sammy's teeth out - if true, I'd paid to watch that.@@brandonrumley8322

[@brendandillinger9903]

It’s so strange seeing Dale Jr hanging out at the dirt track lol but glad to see it!

[@donaldmanning7379]

The idea that you like to check other forms of racing out shows me and others I am sure that you care about and support all kinds of racing. I am 71 years old and I have always been a fan even though I have never been to a Nascar race. You have always had a lot of class and I really enjoy your show.

[@jackielowe2895]

Your nephew Wyatt is carrying on the family tradition of racing. Be proud of him.

[@joshuaman1126]

Raised on sprint cars love ‘em

[@combatwombat594]

As someone who is a full time employee at Lernerville, I have to say, the vibe at the track that night was just different. Good different! Everyone there was so happy to be there and experience some great racing! Was a hell of a night for all involved. Even if I didn't get a chance to get Dale to sign my cast cuz I was doing fan pit pass upgrades lol

[@jamesmcgrady6920]

Love the show and how you guys mingled with the fans and enjoyed you time at the track down to earth guys

[@djbuzz9998]

Glad ya came and glad i was there to see the record be broke.....i was there 21 years ago to see it broke then ....how many can say that awsome

[@northernredneck1593]

Some of the best racing on Earth 410 sprints !! I remember Sammy Swindell , Doug Wolfgang , Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon as a 17 year old kid in the Baby Ruth car !! Those were the days!!

[@briankbender5757]

I'm glad that they loved being there and enjoying the racing

[@scottywatson482]

Don't know if Jr. has ever witnessed a NHRA event or not but I HIGHLY recommend attending the spring race at Charlotte where they are 4 wide. It is the SHOW OF ALL SHOWS

[@jonathanhoneycutt7991]

When are we going to see Junebug in a dirt late model/sprint car, when and where

[@user-bt8vn3dj6o]

I started watching dirt racing in part because of Kenny Wallace and Ken Schneider. Watch the Cars Tour because of Junior. Larson is a great spokesperson for the the average fan.

[@jeffmerhar9424]

That's real racing right there buddy, not NASCAR bullshit

[@WVD-Dub]

I grew up between Johnstown and Somerset. My dad would take me to Jennerstown Speedway which was a dirt track back in the 70’s-80’s. I remember a driver named Donnie Allison who drove the #1 Cochran car. I could never confirm he was NASCAR’s Donnie Allison. I’m sure there are old pics in the many photo albums packed away in my Mother’s attic. Any confirmation by others would be appreciated.

[@mn2deep]

I have one thing to say Dale...CHILI BOWL!!!

[@brandonenglund7516]

Thank you for doing this Dale. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this episode! I hope you loved it. I love the DJD and hearing all the old guard on the show. I love dirt racing, my family has been racing dirt since the early 50’s so this is near and dear to my heart.

[@IFUPokeTheLAMBULWakeThaLION]

well done, and the enthusiasm + knowledge of that young man is exactly what one of my charitable programs COVID interrupted that used fishing & racing to show why mastering math & science meant using those 2 sides of the same coin to get priceless memories from crazy stupid fun that may could also become 1 or 2 or 3 or more careers!

[@jeffbowa1930]

Now you guys should come to the Hangtown 100 USAC Midget Races in Placerville with Kyle

[@giafoneozu9998]

are u kidding Kyle Larson and Dale Jr. in one sales vehicle, sales of a years time!

[@tonyjohnson7408]

I think it's great that you went and seemed to enjoy the product. What you do by bringing attention to the sprint car world and short track racing in general is awesome. Big series need grass roots racing and a rising tide will raise all ships. Thanks again for what you do.

[@stevennewman8276]

How in the world has Jr never been to a sprint car race?! Dude,yall gotta hit Eldora!

[@richwlodarsky2343]

Now Kyle has to invite you’ll to a dirt late model show. Just as impressive if not more with a full bodied car.

[@tillman40]

Sprint car racing is everything that nascar. Is not. The races are shorter, more exciting, no wokeness, the series loves their old fans, cars are cooler and sound better

[@MeauxMoneyRacing]

Well said dirt racing period nascar forgot where it came from

[@deandavis5820]

That was so awesome of Mike and Dale. Going to that Sprint core event. They look really excited about them and how fast and how sideways they go. God bless you!

[@throwingsparks]

Pennsylvania loves it’s Dirt Track racing! Sitting in the turn 4 stands at Lernerville ?, bring good eye protection !!

[@JimmyBeanz13]

We used to run the firecracker in Super Lates. In 2009ish there was the biggest reddest full moon hanging over back stretch. They had a country concert and I looked over my shoulder and it was Scott Bloomquist so we started talking. We were pitted close to each other and shot the Sh*t awhile to my crews amazement(they said he doesn't talk to anyone). 2 years later he stopped and said Hi to me passing each other at PRI! My home track now is Port Royal, Larson came close to that 62k payday!

[@talltimbot]

410 with massive squeeze is IT

[@Stapleton42]

You could hear Lernerville from where I went to high school. Nothing this interesting ever happened there when I was growing up 😂

[@FrankCrum-g4t]

Lernerville is a great track

[@yt650]

Sprint car racing at Lernerville is always fantastic. Keep Taylor Junior home. He could care less, follow the money.

[@kennybranton132]

Awesome

[@theginganinja-_-7695]

Port Royal next year for the rumble by the river with Lucas oil latemodels. Put it on your schedule. 2 day show you won’t want to miss. Also the “support” class modifieds put on a heck of a show there too.

[@kingmrfone5604]

We had them at Grandview Speedway this year.Joey Saldana once said that driving a sprint car at Grandview is like flying a jet fighter in a high school gymnasium

[@randyhykes2034]

Come to Knoxville Nationals JR if you want the best of the best

[@carljacks9230]

Would love to see Dale Jr come race at montgomery motor speedway

[@kristenwhite2701]

That’s awesome. So glad you brought Wyatt. He’s a good racer. My favorite kind of racing. Did you sit close enough to need goggles? Made the mistake of getting to my first race late at New Smyrna and having to sit low. You can get a concussion watching as the dirt chunks fly. Glad you enjoyed and shared your experience. Liked the DJD with Kyle & Brad. You do a great job. My favorite podcast. I learn so much about you in every episode.

[@dwaynesullivan-qo2iz]

Can't beat down home racing

[@mattthomas3207]

dirt track fans will spend every last dollar they have to make it to the track middle of the week weekend it dont matter to support the racing. they are loyal especially with local drivers

[@ChrisByrd-cg3wp]

Dirt track world championship Be there

[@FloridaManRacer]

Someone at Dirty Mo, let Dale Jr. know that once he's gotten to go to a Dirt Late Model race, he needs to come up to NY and check out a Big Block Modified event. He's talked with Gary Balough, who won the Syracuse 200. Brett Hearn and Barefoot Bob McCreadie made Big Blocks popular in the 80's and 90's and Stewart Friesen from the NASCAR Truck Series started in Big Block mods... And no, these cars aren't those goofy looking things they run in IMCA or UMP modified competition. They're their own thing.

[@brandonrumley8322]

Definitely big block mods are my second favorite after a sprint car could it possibly be because they are kinda one in the same I like watching super short track series for sure

[@jcdehaai270]

You should come to the Knoxville Nationals

[@JP-wc8ky]

Dirt is for Racing, assfelt is for getting there !

[@carlgrogan3681]

He shoulda went to Williams Grove or Port Royal if going to dirt racing in PA.

[@ncphotos]

Great video!

[@crackerlackingproductions6746]

I cant believe Jr didn't pull out a little bottle of A1 to put on his burger!!!

[@GowGows]

This video on its own made me buy Lernerville in iRacing lmao.

[@dirtyknucklegarage4085]

Well, y’all are gonna have to come to Tulsa in January for the Chilibowl. I promise you won’t be bored and you’ll want to come back, plus there’s plenty of beer. 😂

[@markrobbins3031]

Went to Caraway to see Larson run the CARS tour, thanks for the swap!

[@northwestrider369]

Jr should do a sprint car drivers school or do a test day with Larson or Stenhouse. Just to get in a sprint car and experience that.

[@acidsquidartstudio2154]

Go larson and go dale

[@markrobbins3031]

Hey JR, did you know LW also raced a red Monte Carlo? Early 90’s at Dundee Raceway. My hometrack

[@cheapskate3280]

Please go to a dirt late model race
