Dale Jr. Download: Kurt Busch "When you’re young, you’re dumb."

[@corrodosoprano9667]

My favorite Kurt Bush moment was in the 2001 Daytona 500 when Big E gave him the finger at 200 MPH ! Classic Intimidator to the last lap.

Always pulling for Kurt Busch. He's my driver since Jr retired. I like the man he has become and I like the things he does off the track for tv shows.

[@GandolphTheGreyBeard]

I wish I could give this more than one "thumbs up". The maturity and humility that Kurt Busch has now juxtaposed to the hotrod firebrand he was in the beginning. I *hated* him in the early 2000s, even though I enjoyed watching him. He was a perfect "egomaniac foil" for the sport. Now, he is a genuine human who competes at a high level and realizes there are consequenses to one's decisions/actions. Great interview! *edited the "maturity and maturity" to "maturity and humility" that I *meant* to type, but the beers fogged my brain. ;-)

[@erikm7034]

Kurt has become a class act. I wish his brother could be as humble as him

[@davecavan5953]

In 2004 a friend and I were invited to the driver's meeting in Richmond, and we were just standing there in awe of what was going on as the drivers filed in. The only one who said anything to us was Kurt - he came over and talked to us for about 5 minutes until the meeting started. When the bad things began to happen with him I had trouble putting those together with the very calm and friendly guy who spent that time with us, and I'm glad he figured out how to make that character come to the front in his life.

Very good interview with Kurt Busch. He gave me a better perspective of his life and his struggles in coming into the series and succeeding so early. I have become a Kurt Busch fan. Thanks for bringing this side of him out so we all can see it.

Kurt, your driving always reminded me of how Dale Sr drove. Even when I didn't agree with how you handled some situations you was still a badass on the track. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did the best you could do and over time you just got better at handling everything. My hats off to you and i enjoy listening to what you have to say.

[@stevenbarger7628]

Been a Kurt Busch fan since the beginning! I hope they post the second part of this interview where Jr. goes back to remember times when they were on the track together (and a really funny story about how Kurt ran into Jr. that affected his place in the rookie standings...and Sr. went after Kurt on the track!). Keep it up, Kurt! Don't hit the brakes until you crash into the HOF with 4 flat tires, smoking and on fire!

[@paulym5814]

Great interview, you can really see how Kurt has matured in the sport. I’m glad for him. Some drivers don’t get those chances to move on or up as Kurt did. You can also see it in Kyle too.

[@JamieTheBangles11Fan]

I'm not sure how ANYONE couldn't like the Kurt Busch of today. What a great inspiration and a great guy! He's proven what makes America great. NO matter how bad you've ruined your reputation, you can still fix it. It wont be overnight, but you can learn from it and change.

[@JSchaffer214]

As someone on the verge of turning 40, he couldn't be more correct. Even now I try to soak up every bit of information I can get from the elderly because I believe they're the wisest people on the planet. I wish I would have paid more attention to my elders as a young man.

Short answer is he new this was his last chance. And he took that shot and made the best of it. I think he’s been thru a lot. Has my respect tho. For sure.

[@sinnedsinister]

I will be dead honest. When Kurt won his championship, I was one of those who boo'd the monumental achievement few have done in NASCAR. I am of the NASCAR old school where a champion earned it. At that time, my opinion was he didn't earn it, but was entitled and deserved it. Not the Champions I have seen in NASCAR past. I honestly don't remember feeling so negative about a champion that way. Both of you are close to my age to and we all have as it said grown up. Today, I see Kurt and honestly am a fan of his. I hope he does well in his racing and can build to become the Champion his talent proved even back then, he can be but with the learned experience only taught by humility and maturity. That is the champion I'm will gladly support.

@@marycornett3165 you can make a case for Kurt. Which is why the original comment said arguably. Not to mention, Kurt ran better in Kyle's car than Kyle did.

Kurt just says the name "Jimmy Spenser" Dale immediately starts to squirm in his chair! I'm actually really glad Dale is that way, I think it's a big part of what makes him the best at doing this podcast, unlike the normal Media type who's sole purpose is to get that "Gotcha moment" Another job well done for The DJD Team! 💪 As for the Busch Bros, I feel like they would have both benefited greatly if the "Bodine Mom" method had been used on them 😉
