Andy Petree's Difficult Decision To Leave Richard Childress Racing 

Damn I miss guys like him and all the old drivers😭😭

The older we get the less chances we take! All the energy is there when your young and fearless!

I think its always easy to second guess those kinds of decisions, but the reality is that if you get that chance to be your own boss you gotta take it. Im a firm believer that things happen for a reason. In the end I think Andy made the right decision for him. Yeah they could have won more championships, they could have won Daytona, but would it have changed anything? We wont ever know, but I firmly believe if you ever get that chance to be your own boss, you have to take it. Yes there is always risk its always a gamble, but it is the best feeling too. Just my two cents.

What if Petree went to join DEI, and helped build that program past 2004 🤔 I wonder if it would have saved it

He's one of my favourites to listen to. Wish someone would pick him up for TV!

I think Dale getting hurt at Talladega and RCR falling behind with multi car teams hurt Dale's championship hopes more than Andy leaving. Andy leaving didnt help, but if EARNHARDT hadnt got hurt and if RCR had more speed in the late 90s, I think Dale could have won number 8

what kind of "tickets" did Atlanta give to Dale, Sr.? I could not understand what Dale, Jr. was saying...

I believe they definitely would have won one more championship.

I loved the 33 and the 55 car Andy Petree fielded as a team.

Never understood why he left, Dale was never the same after Andy left. Dale never won a title with David Smith or Larry Mac and Andy never fared much with this ownership. It's one of those things that I wish Andy Petree would have reconsidered.

Kevin Hamlin turned out well for Earnhardt. Andy was probably better.

Saturday morning notification squad!

Dale Sr. Buried the field at Atlanta in the Fall of 95 ..... That car from the middle off the corner was a Rocket 🚀.... Gordon ran just good enough to win the title by 34 points..... #3 team served notice that day that they would be hard to handle in 96 and were until the big Talladega crash ...... That 34 points burned like a hot poker that day and still does today .... Would've been #8....

And then came Larry Mc. My brother who wasn't an Earnhardt fan always said, McReynolds was collecting two pay checks . One from RCR\GM and one from Ford

I don't understand how there is 177k subscribers to this RU-vid channel and only 301 likes and 1 dislike for this video.

Dale Jr. the next Phil Mickelson. You will win one of the races you enter.

I always liked Andy, he IS an extremely smart Mechanic, Fabricator, Crew Chief, Team Owner etc., etc., 🚀🏁🚀🏁🚀

Good info.

What did JR say they gave the winner of Atlanta that SR had a bunch of???

I'd like to see an Andy Hillenburg episode

love this man so funny and so insightful

My opinion and viewpoint is when Earnhardt got spun out at the 95 Talladega spring race that took enough points away to keep him from that championship.

You shortchanged everyone when you kept telling Everingham everything on Monday morning you tool. Dale should have run away w the 95' Championship.

Oh, PUH-LEEASE, Junior...you know damn well if you move up to Cup in ‘22, you’ll have to TURN AWAY a number of corporate sponsorships! How could they NOT want to be a part of your fledging Cup operation, knowing how successful you’ll be long-term? You have the relationships already established, and you could easily attract the necessary funding for even a 2 car team right off the bat! With a technology partnership with either Hendrick or RCR/Ganassi/ and the Chevrolet Alliance of teams, you’d be considered a top-tier team within months! The time IS NOW! Don’t let your fans down, man...

I can't imagine what it cost to run a NASCAR team for one season,I'm just a local dirt track racer super late models,it cost me $55,000 to build a competitive car, Then I have 2 guys I pay $500 a week each, Plus $300 a week for tires another $100 for race fuel $75 a week for pit passes and hopefully I don't break anything,I bet it cost a NASCAR team$50,000 a week

I know y'all are always interested in old NASCAR movies, found one one made in the 80s lastnight,seen it had Humpy in it.check it out its called Born to race, made in the mid 80s.

Nice interview

Unfotunately my job doesn't allow me to listen to full podcasts but I always watch the Jr videos. What a dream it would for Jr, as his daughters have aged, to bring JRM to CUP and run a season in the #88 (since Hendrick would allow him to use the number, which is still under a lease to Hendrick). Make it happen Jr! ONE MORE season. I know about concussions and you recover over time (as I have had 5). Or bring Josh Berry to CUP, he has skills. HIs finishes show from Xfinity this year-but I want to see you. Hellman's, Filtertime, Nabisco, Budweiser, Mountain Dew-they would probably all sponsor you.

Love watching your podcast every week I would love to see Hailie Deegan and her dad on the show someday

Still disappointed Andy left after '95.

Put him in the booth FOX

Really enjoyed hearing Andy's stories. Definitely agree Andy was the last best for dale

Why not just upload the whole thing at once?

PURE GOLD !!!!!!

Be interesting to hear him talk about Brad Francis.

I want that Flying Aces t shirt so bad

This was an awesome piece of information I never heard of

I'd Andy needs a sponsor Just for Men should be all of that cuz it's all over him...lol
