Dale Jr. and Ward Burton Finally Hash Out 2002 Bristol Incident 

Busted me up.

How can anyone not love good ole Word Burton. That South Boston, VA accent is awesome.

I think that’s one of the reasons nascar is on the decline

How can you tell? I can't understand a thing he says. He's got a mouth full of sand and peanut butter.

Ward was always my favorite driver. I think he’s a awesome guy and I wish he would have got a top ride back in the day!!!!

Kyle is probably the closest to tjat we have. He says what he really thinks and doesn't care what people think. Especially with the media but its deserved. The other day i saw a press conference from the 500 in 2019 and he stopped a reporter in the middle of his question because he didn't have his facts and history right. I am 13 years old and i feel like i know more about Nascar and Nascar history than some of the reporters do lol

True. He didnt sell out. He reminded me of harry gant, cale yarbarough, david pearson.

I agree!!!

Yeah, watching Ward Burton on race day, you wouldn't know it. He's very serious about racing and super focused.

I heard him on race when he came back and drove that 4 car which was so bad he described it on the radio as "runnin like a 3 legged goat" Hilarious, although he was serious as hell about it.

Hell yeah. Type in “Ward Burton John boy and Billy” you will piss ur pants.

@@BenMyattt yes!!!! I loved when they had him on their show.

He needs an interpreter for sure.

I’ll tell y’all what man, South Boston is da best dang short track in da country man.

Haha yes 🤣

Waaard Burtoyn in da Caterpillarer Dawdge.

Him and Elliott Sadler!!!

That and his super southern voice is why I have always respected Ward

It's a fading quality in men.

@@aaronanderson7619 It's a fading quality in humans in general

You know Ward personally?

Pulled Dale from the car? You were an EMT at Daytona?

I looked this man up and he was a paramedic at Daytona. The stories you must have!

@@timg2088 Yes I took him out for dinner 🍽 a couple of times when he was down for testing sessions.

@@bertmustin I was a paramedic, but my job was a Captain on the Fire Crew. It was my crew (as well as myself) that cut the roof so that the ambulance crew could get him out... one of the worst days of my life 😪

Yes Sir I agree

Why I like Chase because yes he is media savvy, but he also talks like a NASCAR driver still. Like Blaney too, he is really a funny guy.

Cry harder

You're quite the original, ignoring the point to get your dig in.. Keep on trolling while the sport continues to take a dump in track attendance and tv ratings..

He immediately saw your face as he was about to do it!

@@ChampaBayBeast troll

That's so cool, is Ward as nice in person as he seems in this interview?

@@populisttrope9385 even nicer. Jeff always used to say that Ward was born on the south side of the house. lol. I used to work for Simpson Race products and I worked on the drivers helmets to customize the fit for them. I had a truck and trailer that was parked in the garage where we had items for them like extra shoes and gloves and fireproof underwear if they needed. And extra visors for their helmets depending on the conditions if they wanted tint or clear or amber. Best job ever

@@Leo-io4se wow, sounds like an incredible job! Who was the biggest snob in the garage?

Love listening to Ward

He carried the sport a long ways. How he didn’t crack or just plain leave the sport is truly amazing. Reminded every week for years of how much the fans missed his dad.

@@spg1026 Couldn’t agree more

The thing I've been noticing lately is when Jr explains how he was able to very quickly become the face of Nascar he admits conversations he had with those in Nascar that he wanted to be proud of him and how those conversations kind of steered him onto the course he continues to follow up through these days and the respect he's earned over the last 20 years and I think his commentator jobs as part of the booth crew on TV has helped him have his sort oobjective looking at what's happening with Nascar and how he wants to help steer Nascar in the direction he was raised to believe it should be going and I think Sr and grandpa Ralph are both proudly looking down and saying "the 👦 is doing good

Amen. Don't forget sportsmanship.It's a boring demolition derby now.

Only true veterans left are Harvick, Kurt, and Newman. Seemed like back then those guys raced forever

That’s so true. He had a lot on his shoulders to say the least. Ward is right.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

God damn. Ward was right. Junior wasn't expecting such a huge compliment out of the blue, but Ward was right.

I've been saying for awhile now JRMotorsports is part of Dale's legacy and what dei should have been. Keeping veterans like Sadler and Justin in competitive equipment, believing in Brad and seeing his potential. Those are things Dale did, who knows how well Steve Park and Mikey could have done had things gone differently, as it was they became race winners because Dale believed in them when nobody else did. That's what Dale's legacy is to me, seeing the potential in a driver that nobody else did. Were it not for Teresa Truex would have won a championship years ago, but as it was he stuck it out, fighting for everything he could and when the dust settled he's a 3x champion (2 in Busch) and continues to be a threat every week.

I honestly did not know one fan back in the day. That disliked Ward Burton.

@@Ghostmotorfinger Agreed. I was a die hard Dale Sr fan for many years but also being from Virginia, had to root for both of those Burton Boys from South Boston, VA.

@@Ghostmotorfinger I was a fan because Ward Burton said what he meant and didn't have a mean bone in his body and raced everyone clean as possible...unlike some of the 'fan favorites' from back in the day.

It’s sort of like the Hank Jr song, if you don’t like Hank Williams you can kiss my a$$. It’s the same thing with Ward. If you don’t like Ward Burton you can kiss my a$$!

@@normanbyrne9868 Same for me except not being from Virginia. Couldn't dislike Ward or Jeff back in the day. Made the races Earnhardt's cars weren't competitive in more barrable.
