Dale Jr. To His Dad: I Ain’t Been A Pimple On Your Ass

[@johnhenryNC]

What I like about Dale Jr. is that he doesn't sugarcoat anything with regard to his dad. In other words, Dale Jr. portrays his dad as human with a loving side and a rough side with regard to the father/son dynamic.

[@Johnny-es1wl]

So many of these podcasts are incredible. This one was just as incredible. For a guy who is supposed to be an introvert he sure does expose himself and I absolutely love it. I wasn't a fan of Jr until after he stopped driving. He is certainly become the biggest ambassador for NASCAR! That is why he deserves the hall of fame induction! Singlehandedly does more for the sport than anyone!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

I've only watched these clips, but out of all of videos I've seen, the stories with Ty are going to make me listen to the complete podcast interview.

[@christopherweise438]

Patrick Baker - Same place i'm at. I wasn't a fan when he was driving. I'm an old school guy (Harry Gant, Dick Trickle, etc), but once we got to see the person behind Jr. and also Kelley i have a whole different level of respect and admiration.

[@DustinBruce31]

When he or another guest tells a story about Sr. you almost think “no way they’re just bullshitting, Dale was as tough as nails and a huge hard ass!” And yeah he was on the track and in the garage it was all a part of his “image” but to hear stories like this you realize he was just trying to be a father and you realize that the intimidator was as human as anyone else.

[@Bonkrr]

@@christopherweise438 Agree completely. I was never a Sr. fan, I've always been a Ford guy so I was much more behind Mark Martin and the RYR guys (whether Davey, Ernie or Dale Jarret). Didn't really care much for Junior when he was racing by extension. Simply put though, the more I watch and listen to Dale Junior in his podcasts and other interviews........he's the most genuine guy NASCAR has ever had. Unlike his father, Junior is simply impossible not to like.

[@christopherweise438]

@@Bonkrr - Very well said. Right on.

[@kapage74]

Mike's face as Dale and Ty are telling the father/son conversation story should be kept in a time capsule forever

[@jimwood3692]

The thing I appreciate most about Jr. is the amount of time and effort spent trying to keep this great sport alive. Everything else he does is just a testament to how far he has come.

[@robpage1598]

Man, I love the Dale stories, but in my opinion, you have your own legacy.

[@Bonkrr]

and he's building that legacy one podcast at a time. The best promotion in NASCAR right now isn't on the track, he's hosting this podcast.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Folks, take my word for it, you definitely wanna listen to the entire podcast for this one. I recommend all of the Dale Jr's podcasts, but this one really stands out. Trust me.

[@jeffrofpv2068]

I could listen to Dale senior stories 24/7

[@stephaniefisher2241]

The "real" in this family is what I love. Good job, Dale Jr.!

[@forearmshiver8819]

It’s amazing at how JR handles the whole version of SR. The 100% real things JR says about SR are so enlightening to hear, some of those stories I’m not sure how he holds it together. The note he read to Schrader....No way many people get through that without breaking down. Keep it rolling JR the podcast is awesome man!!

[@DustinBruce31]

I just love how Jr. puts a human face and emotion on the man and legend of Dale Sr. And the guests do as well. We all know that Dale was the greatest driver and most feared man in the entire sport, these stories don’t take that away but shows that even the Intimidator was just like my dad or someone else’s dad, human and wanting his kids to be the best they could be at whatever they did.

[@markbarber7789]

I won’t lie, I shed a tear

[@ryanralph7494]

Dude the note to Schrader had me in tears and I'm a grown ass man. I was 13 even Dale died and I remember it felt like a family member died. Rooting for Dale was basically a religion in our house. I love this podcast so damn much to give us these stories

[@leslieisgrig5443]

Ken Schrader is a class act

[@bobuncle8704]

I teared up when he read that note. That’s some deep s*£t right there.

[@JamesWilson-fb8ft]

I wish they had a “LOVE” button instead of “like”... I too love to hear the stories of his human side... like the racing GOD stories too but the human ones make the others that much more impressive

[@Slinger43]

Spot on about the "Love button" I've been bitchin bout the lack of one ever since the Like button showed up! 💪

[@CraigSmith-qq3sr]

I needed a good cry for personal reasons, but this helped moving it along.

[@kimma508]

I’m sorry that you needed a good cry for personal reasons. I hope all is well now.

[@dachief6470]

These are the things that kind of cement the legend of Earnhardt as an everyday guy with extraordinary drive and ability. Far from perfect, seriously flawed in some ways, but willing to do what’s necessary to both achieve and provide.

[@DustinBruce31]

And wanting his kids to be the best at whatever it was they wanted and even better parents to his grandchildren than he was to his kids. Dale earned everything he had the hard way, probably the best work ethic I’ve ever seen from a professional driver/athlete and he had it drilled in their minds that the good things he had didn’t come easy and he expected nothing less.

[@TheBigChad]

I love the humble beginnings that Jr came from. Dads a huge superstar. Bigger than nascar itself and here’s Jr living in a double wide trailer and trying to do things the right way. I hope Sr is looking down these days saying damn I raised a good boy

[@jodywells7519]

Jr ain't got the numbers of his dad but I really believe he's a happier man than sr ever was !

[@matildaharden1064]

Sr was happy, especially at the end which makes his death so hard.

[@Slinger43]

Men like Dale Sr, who built an empire out of a pile of dirt, are insanely driven, which tends to make such Men to appear stoic/unhappy. That kind of a Man also, almost always has a secret fear of they're empire collapsing & it's suddenly all gone. Junior was never faced with that fear until his Father's passing & he (Kelly & Kerry too) were suddenly face to face with it. Thankfully for the Earnhardt's, people like Mr. H, Mike Helton & The France family were there too guide them 💪

[@purpracer]

He was never going to get those numbers because he wasn't a good driver.

[@taylorb7191]

Jr has a lot of great traits that his dad lacked. Both great guys

[@thsbulldawg82]

@@matildaharden1064 At the same time, he died doing something he loved and was extremely good at. There's peace in that.

[@etodd568]

Jr you are so right... people know how great your Pops was!! we love to hear the real stories!!

[@williamwhite2113]

"I ain't been a pimple on your ass". Damn, I wish I had this line years and years ago. I doubt it might have changed anything but it sure would've felt good to say it. Thanks, Dale Jr. I learn a lot about you and have to say you're a cool dude.

[@songsinthedrawer]

These Ty Norris stories have been epic! Wish Ty Norris and Dale Jr. were running the NASCAR show.

[@Wilcox3]

Ty Is one of the most nicest people Anyone'll ever meet.

[@MyDogFulton]

Sr has the wins and was an incredible racer. Jr in my opinion is by far the greater inspiration and man to look up to as a kid and now young adult for me.

[@rogerwhittemore9950]

This part of the podcast made me stop my afternoon walk and just listen. Nothing about star power. Everything about life.

I love listening to Dale Sr stories it goes to show you that as big as he was he was genuinely a flawed human being who did the best he could. Alot of people could think he was not a great father but from what I can see his children grew up to be grounded people while being successful.

[@radamus210]

I love these stories, they're great stuff for the historical record of the legend. One time Jr was telling some stories about how rough his dad was that gave me chills, talking about "dad taking the belt off and man he was rough" and a light went off, it reminded me of my dad. He was legend in the area I grew up for entirely different reasons. I wasn't always a DE fan but I turned around and began to like him out of respect. I knew that Dale was going to get that 8th championship in 2001, I knew it! everything was set, the trend was pointed up. But it all ended in February, a day I'll never forget, my birthday.

I love this podcast.

[@robertsalido1232]

I am no NASCAR FAN, but I think your much better as a interviewer, in my opinion. Weather you raced cars or not, you have History and the memories to pull from. I have listened to your podcast and enjoyed them but prefer your "youtubes" much better. I like seeing your facial expressions tied to what your saying or responding too. When my Dad was alive, I'd listen to his stories, but more so, I watched his facial expressions. How his eyes reflected what he thought, or how his face would change from moment to each moment. Those were the event's I remember during his stories. When I watch you sitting there, on your side of the table, captivated about what people you interview, or those moments when somebody is talking about you or your DAD or even competitors you hated or liked, that's the magic that makes me stay around. The intensity in your eyes, or a thought or idea pondered, this is what makes me coming back to see you again. Thank You for stories and I am happy you enjoyed your Dad, like I enjoyed mine. Thanks.

[@cycler2]

I had one of these conversations with my father. Sometimes a father is looking for their sons to stand up to them and become their own man. After that conversation with my father he saw me in a new light and our relationship changed. One of the best things I have ever done.

[@lemmingt6207]

Dale senior was my hero, i was 18 in 2001 and i never saw anything other than what was on the TV. i was never a fan of you (Dale Jr.) mostly because i didnt like red. hearing storys like this make me more of a fan of Dale Sr. for being human and trying to be a good person and sometimes failing absolutely miserably. now im a huge fan of you (Dale Jr) great podcast, im up here in western Canada listening in, keep it up. love hearing the old 90's drivers tell stories.

NASCAR has been relegated to a bunch of boobs fucking up racing to line their pockets for doing nothing.
