Dale Jr. Download: Earnhardt's One-Armed Track Record 

Dr Punch isn't just a NASCAR treasure, he's been in all forms of racing for a long, long time. Great man, for sure.

Dr Jerry and stories about senior is the heart of the sport.

Great man & physician. Was a little sad when he reached retirement age.

One of the greatest NASCAR should have hired him as a trauma physician

Indeed and a National Treasure to be sure!

Could not have said it better. I got ti chat with him a few times when I crewed for the late James Hylton in ARCA. Class act all the way.

He started out as a hobby stock racer I guess.

Dont forget Bob Jenkins, Mike Joy and Ken Squier

Also Eli Gold

@@DixytheGoat9 Mike Joy 's time has come and gone , just like D Waltrip. He needs to join D Waltrip in retirement.

These podcasts and the cool things I've learned are the best thing I have enjoyed since 01. Thanks to Jr.

For future reference; it is "Buddy" Baker, as in, Elzie Wylie "Buddy" Baker, Junior.

Doc has hundreds of stories on everyone from his era 😉

I have that race on an old vhs tape ,need to get switched on a dvd . that was a badass race .alot different than today's

It just isn't the same if there isn't race cars roaring past.

My little brother and I have our picture with him, infield at Bristol, Dale sr has an arm around each of us, I may have been 12, brother 10, Jr was a year or two younger than me. Good guy, missed

So is Jr!! So much behind the scenes!! I have so much respect for Jr!

I was never a fan of Dale Sr., but I respected him in his ability to wheel a racecar and how he was off the track. That said, I'll also say that Dale Earnhardt Sr. carried his balls in a wheelbarrow, they were so big. You summed it up perfectly. It took death to get him out of a racecar.

@@adamtereska8734 very well said yourself!

He stayed up night before watching Clint Eastwood movies cause he was tuff .I could bet one was outlaw josey wales !

You said that rite! Dale Earnhardt sr was the outlaw josie whales of his era. My favorite movie and my favorite driver of all time. Dale & clint BOTH THE Goats🐐 in what they did.

I've concluded that it is the personalities (or lack thereof) more than any other single factor that makes current day NASCAR less interesting. While I don't like the playoffs/point system, stage racing, the visual aspect of the modern cars and a whole bunch of other things, there just aren't any interesting or unique drivers anymore. It seems like they are all the same. What became of the good old boys, the guys who grew up on farms or worked blue collar jobs? All the drivers are too polished these days, too manufactured. They almost seem robotic, as if they are nothing more than a spokesperson for their sponsors. I want to see more guys that are a bit rough around the edges, guys that aren't so polished, guys who don't have such a squeaky clean image. Guys like Dale Earnhardt Sr., Sterling Marlin or Bill Elliott were interesting and compelling because they were REAL and unique. What you saw with them was what you got. They didn't come across as trained public speakers with marketing degrees. They were just race car drivers, and damn good ones I might add! I could sit and listen to guys like Earnhardt, Marlin or even Mark Martin tell stories all day long. But the current generation of drivers can't hold my attention for 5 minutes. They just seem bland, boring, and uninteresting in comparison, and far too much alike. Where is the variety? I don't mind having some west coast or big city boys around. But we could use some tobacco chewing southern boys that talk with a drawl too. But we don't see drivers like that anymore because they aren't "marketable".

Hope you've listened to the full show. So many stories!

UH OH TROUBLE ELLIOT SADLER ONCE AND A HALF AND ON HIS ROOF!

And Mike Joy.

@@darthkso3745 "BUT IS GONNA BE DALE EARNHARDT JR., USING LESSONS LEARNED FROM HIS FATHER.." timeless calls!

@@ethanweeter2732 especially Mike Joy! He goes back about half a century or more!

And Dave Despain.😎

Saved Rusty Wallace’s life too. Oh yea... Dale had a part in it too... up on the hood pulling the windshield off and holding Rusty’s head up. He had choked on something during a wreck in qualifying

He talked about that on the full episode.

Yep. That's the one where he had to lie about the driver being stable in order to get the medivac to come thru. I think it was included in part of this interview with Dale Jr.

Them BP and Wally D

The second time around

@@darthkso3745 glory days!!

And Bob Jenkins.

@@darthkso3745 I think the commenter meant in 2007, when espn ruined the coverage in various other ways

Hahaha! Same here. White shirt with Dale's autograph right under the hurt so good part. I cut the sleeves off about 15 years ago. But after he died, I knew I would keep it forever.

Always wanted that shirt but it was sold out!..

Glad you enjoyed it!

Doc Jerry Punch... No decision to be made!!

You are right about Bodine winning & changing road-course strategy, but "Rival" 😂 More like Dale's personal whipping boy! Wasn't a Bodine fan, nor a Dale Sr fan, but even I felt sorry for Geoff when it came to his dust-ups with Ol' Iron-head 😆

weird, huh?

Go listen to the full podcast!!

Really he would had gone as long as he could had he survived

I think it might be too late. He's battling illness now , didn't sound good for him. 🙏

@@adamUDavies Brain cancer from what I heard!!
