[@pauldudar6642]

Jr has proven himself in the car, as an owner, and in the booth, but I think his interview skills and knowing how to get guests to share stories/etc. may be his strongest skill. This is gold…

[@easyenetwork2023]

And part of that is they probably make sure to go over what the interview will be like, even if they don’t have time to rehearse.

[@adamfeder7125]

@pauldudar6642 I quite literally could not agree with you more on this. For all the things Dale Jr has done at the highest level he is an EXCEPTIONAL interviewer.

[@brianmorgan928]

Spot on man! I was a Sr fan and loved when Jr showed up and showed out. Not that he was even close to being as good as his dad he did prove he was a damn good driver and now he has this opportunity to bring the encyclopedia of NASCAR to us as the interviewer and killing it. Love this show!!!

[@chris_michael_s]

Dude I think jr is a decent person absolutely. But as far as driving, he was a Busch series driver all day. He was slightly better than Paul menard and had top notch equipment. Interviews were downright awful for jr when he was being interviewed. He was like a mix of boomhauer and Ricky Bobby. I had to change the channel from second hand embarrassment. His podcast is good though. I’m sure he has a good team of writers and all. But yeah, JR when it comes to being the interviewer or interviewee is the equivalent of ozzy osbourne singing vs talking. Night and day difference.

That is what has been missing to make their KZbin explode. I watch them all multiple times, some not realizing until halfway thru.

[@bobbolieu9013]

I have always had huge respect for Jeff Gordon, not only as a driver, yet also as a spokesperson for NASCAR and in particular for the drivers. This time though when Jeff came into the studio it wasn't the Jeff Gordon that I have seen over the past few decades. It was very different. Jeff has always had a confident aura about him. Now though, his leadership presence opens up the room. He's not overpowering. However his presence is commanding. He gives respect, and that is what I am seeing. His commanding, respectful presence levels the playing field.

[@djmohab2]

Could never respect how he'd try to act all Billy Bad Ass on pit road, shoving drivers, but being too chickenshit to take his helmet off.

[@Grim_Prospects]

What? Once? I'm pretty sure his helmet was off with Burton and Keselowski ​@@djmohab2

[@bobbolieu9013]

@@djmohab2 I understand your point and I respect it also. For me it was his passion for the sport that overrode the fact that he didn't take his helmet off. Would it have added to the impact of the moment if he had taken his helmet off before getting all up in another drivers face? Sure it would. Would it have been any more meaningful? Not for me it wouldn't. That's because he took action instead of waiting until a camera was on him to start running his mouth like many other drivers do. I respect that he went and confronted the driver; action, that's my main point.

[@djmohab2]

@@bobbolieu9013 Fair point there too. Definitely respect what he did behind the wheel, that can't be denied.

[@normanbyrne9868]

I think the thing that I most appreciate is how much Junior has become an analyst of the sport and it shows in his interviews. Like he mentioned at the end, he covers a lot of stuff with his guests that usually don't get asked anywhere else. As an old timer I can appreciate this kind of interview because it is so boring watching the same interview time and again with the same questions and stories with everyone involved. Dale Jr breaks this mold. ps - I miss Mike also being at the table during interviews.

1 1/2 hours of pure entertainment. Thank you for having Jeff on the podcast today. Excellent episode!

[@timford3599]

As a long time far of NASCAR Cup, a true admirer of Mr. H and, a forever fan of #24 Jeff Gordon all the way back to his USAC Open Wheel days. I must say that HMS and all involved could not have a better "Man at the Helm" than Jeff. Kudos to Jr. for having this great conversation. I believe that Jeff knows the "Change in Business Model" that the series is going through and hopefully, the powers that be in the sport will realize that all of the current "Gimickery" is not real racing and the new audience they are hoping to attract will soon see this fact for themselves and prove to not be the long term fans that they are hoping to cultivate. Thank you Dale Jr. for this enlightened conversation.

[@mntlblok]

Learned a *lot* about Jeff *and* about the charter stuff and where the owners stand by watching this podcast. Had no idea that Jeff left broadcasting for the reason that he did. RH is *such* a class act. Now wondering what happens when RH is gone. How much equity does Jeff have? Will he have to battle some of the Hendrick family? How much "class" does NASCAR lose when Rick is gone? That "leverage" question seems huge. Do *any* of the big teams turn a profit? How many tracks does NASCAR own? Does NASCAR know how important Junior is to the sport these days? Isn't Junior buddies with Bruton Smith's son - whom I presume now owns a bunch of tracks? Might Junior be the leverage source that the owners need? The "TV deal" struck me as being rather bizarre. Already thought it was bizarre that the season was split in two. That lack of continuity sure didn't seem like a positive to me. Now, heck, I've never even flicked a net and ain't sure what "streaming" even is, though I may have already unknowingly tried a bit of it with one of these smart TVs. We're driving over to Daytona today for the postponed race, expecting the big one. Hope all the proper safety features are in place. Did I ramble? Oh, and I certainly agree about the gimmickry (had to google the spelling). 🙂

[@nomadman5288]

I believe that the teams actually have leverage in today's environment because everybody knows them and the drivers. If they decide to form their own league, all the fans go with them, and NASCAR, as a series or platform, dies overnight. What keeps that brand alive is the fan-to-team/driver connection, not the company of NASCAR itself, especially with all the things they've done that the fans hate. They stay for racing and all that comes with it, not for the brand of NASCAR. The team owners need to realize that they have all the leverage here if they work together.

[@michaelconnell8666]

great interview... It's a tough call. I think the comment that it will never be same is the only 100% truth we know. If they want it to be like F1, not sure that will work long term with the fans. Perhaps it is fair to say they are going to have to appeal to an entirely new fan base in order to make this work. Anyone else feel Jeff is not a fan of the current direction of the sport or the cars? I know he has to say the right things but it feels like he is not a fan. Jeff is the only guy left at a high level who has driven most gens of the cars. One thing is for certain, Hendrick is unmatched as a leader, he saw the talent not only on the track but I recall him in the 90's talking about Jeff being the future of HMS when he quit driving.

Great download with Gordon. Has there even been another Cup driver that has hosted SNL ?

Great interview. I would love a Johnson, Gordon and Rick interview special.

Definitely always an Earnhardt fan but enjoy listening to Jeff or Smoke

Loved the Netflix special, Dale. Definitely rekindled my interest in the sport.

Jeff said HMS hasn't made any money in 10 years. That was a shocker.

Yeah I'm thinking that was poor us BS. The wealthiest people will tell you they don't have any money.
