Rivals who turned into best friends? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

That Carl Edwards clip always makes me sad because we didn’t know that was going to be his final race. And a couple months later he announces his retirement which was a shock to everyone. Rough way to go out like that.

[@joekaput747]

And in his last interview, man, talking about the next year, we had no idea what was coming our way

[@Trainlover1995]

He didn’t retire, he ragequit. He realized that as long as NASCAR was using the playoffs to effectively rig the championship in favor of whoever they wanted to win, he would never win a Cup Series championship.

[@acedelta12]

He'd still be racing today if he didn't wreck

[@Redslayer86]

He got tired of getting robbed. He would have 2 championships without the chase bullshit

[@jacobevenson8702]

@@Trainlover1995 There is no such thing as "Nascar rigging the championship in favor of who they want to win"... We can all agree that the playoff format is beyond atrocious, but don't say stupid bs like that...

[@captinsano585]

This is why I love this sport. Yea there’s always differences of opinion and rivalries but to help a teammate or to check on someone after a wreck or congratulating someone on a win when it was good racing that to me is the definition of what makes nascar great

[@joeshelton1077]

I agree 100%

[@issaeltejada3937]

[@mattkowal90]

If there is one thing that both Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. cared about when they raced, it was the safety of their competitors (Ally or Foe). The Intimidator would bump you, or possibly wreck you, but he cared about everyone's safety.

[@punyhunk2322]

I mean, I really don't think Sr. was like that. There's more than two instances where he's hurt others on the track (i.e. broke DW's ribs twice in a few years by just deleting him) but we can ignore that. Not many people actually knew Dale Earnhardt, so that's what people are going to say. (I have family that worked for him)

[@aaronkristofer18]

How much can you really care when you go out and wreck someone.

[@mattkowal90]

@@aaronkristofer18 Depends on the track and the driver. Earnhardt was a true racer, and if you wanted to be a true racer, you took lessons from him because it was to show that you aren't showing all of your true colors, talent, and whether you need to changes to yourself such as using a little bit more of your car than how you usually wheel it.

[@Benderthegr865]

Horrible take. Not even close. They wanted to win period

[@ThKngIsback]

Shut up

[@RailfanLan2006]

5:22 as a 15 year Jimmie Johnson fan, this is awesome to know how well Jimmie gets along with his teammates

[@KohlDuhGamerGuy_YT]

Agreed , he put that Camaro ZL1 in reverse and gave his teammate a helping hand , much respect for Jimmy Johnson , I miss him alr 😢

[@denyceshupe6031]

2:52 This is where my faith in humanity is restored. The fact that every person from every crew team ran out to the number 3 car to make sure he was okay. This is why I love sports. There may be differences and rivalries, but nothing can replace a person's life.

[@BrettMKW]

Another thing about the Carl Edwards championship clip, Brad Keselowski legit wrecked himself on purpose just to avoid hitting his teammate Logano who was competing for the title.

[@jbaskinger41]

I actually have never noticed that. That’s crazy!

[@zottffss]

Oh dang that looks like it….

[@jollyomeatLA]

Didn't look like it. Looks like if it wasn't from him getting hit right rear Logano would've wrecked too.

[@TheBigDawgSL]

3 things I can reccomend for #2 - 1994 Dale Sr mentioned Senna in his VL interview at Dega. 1993 Sr and Rusty took a polish lap with a 28 and 7 flag out the side of the car. 1994 Dale Sr talked about Neil Bonnett at Rockingham after winning the title

[@jbaskinger41]

Trust me I got those stashed away for the next one!

[@twotailedavenger]

And I forget what race it was, but wasn't there one where Jeff Gordon won and did a lap holding a #3 flag for Dale?

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

Stopping mid race to check on a fellow driver is such a powerful thing to see, I recall Ayrton Senna doing similar, maybe it’s just the sign of a great driver

[@DV1287]

I hate kyle Busch as a driver, but i respect him as a person because he cares and respects all other drivers. Also Carl Edwards is imo the cleanest and friendliest driver ive seen since mark martin.

[@WarmodeEngaged]

Except for those 2 times he tried to kill super brad....

[@TheBoringLlama]

Carl is so nice that he'll send you roof first into a wall at 185+ mph

1:34 Selfless moment while injured btw, Jr. had one of his many concussions from this wreck

[@badbooking3221]

Looking back at it I thought this was reckless, especially with a wrecked car.

[@karelpgbr]

I love wholesome moments like these in any form of racing, it's just, heart-warming

[@Bald_Cat2007]

When Chase high fived Jimmie Johnson, it immediately reminded me of when Steve Park won Rockingham, and Michael Waltrip pulled alongside Steve, and they high fived each other

[@Jacespace23]

Most selfless moment Daytona 500 2001 , . . . . When dale let his two team mates ahead.

[@Ob1tuber]

He owned the cars that was not his teammates Jr and Waltrip drove for DEI Sr drove for RCR

[@jasonchilton5023]

I was getting ready to bring that up. The man literally gave his life holding back the field so his cars could finish 1-2. I was never an Earnhardt fan, but when you think about it...

[@leminem2313]

@@jasonchilton5023 if you haven’t seen EmpLemons video on him titled: “there will never ever be a driver like dale earnhardt”, I highly recommend, not a huge fan of #3, but one hell of a video

[@km6832]

Watching race drivers help each other out will always be heart warming. Because even tho they will punt the opposition in a wall to win a race, we all know what serious crashes look like

[@JAEC-rm1nv]

The Kyle Busch one makes me really happy cause it shows that he isn't a dueshbag as everyone thinks he is and that he does care about some of his opponents

[@Nste_Rebound]

Ture

[@callofthewild5719]

No he is a trash can

[@notachannel6097]

every generation of drivers has the "bad guy". From Dale to Kurt to Kyle (Yes Kurt was the bad guy at one point) they've all been the antagonists. makes watching races fun tbh because they're good. If kyle is in a fight for the win then it's great watching him lose but also kind of fun watching him win.

[@usefultuber1608]

That was my suggestion

Carl Edwards was one of the most respectful and nicest drivers in nascar. He was so cool

[@phantomgold247]

That's respect from a 7 time champ for chase first win

[@dbabb2484]

The one where Dale checks on Rusty and wrecking him into the infield for no reason is a funny one. “Yeah dude, sorry I was upset I lost the lead there and decided to take it out on you for 7th place and almost killed ya, that’s a my bad”.

[@dannenp3110]

As an Indycar fan I have a whole new respect for Jimmie Johnson, truly a class act.

[@JacobNascar]

It's the day of the 2020 Nascar Cup Series championship. I took off work to watch the race. But wait. I'm at hooters watching it. Here I am damn near crying seeing Jimmie race his last full time race and Chase win his first championship. I did indeed shed a couple tears

[@natecaldwell6384]

Man this was just so awsome to watch and man I’m saving this video. Thank you for this one

[@HendrickNation9]

People say Kyle Busch is an asshole when he drives, but that’s just his character. He’s the villain, and he embraces it. If it weren’t for his character, Kyle most likely wouldn’t act like people say he does. I like Kyle Busch, even after Darlington last season.

[@usefultuber1608]
