Erik Jones' Reaction to Being Out of a Ride at Joe Gibbs Racing | The Dale Jr. Download 

@@SpreadAU nope

If you have peacock you can watch the podcast there.

They probably aren't allowed to based on contract. RU-vid clips are to get you to go to where the podcast is posted.

@@chrisgullett4332 doesn't work though. Generally speaking.

It comes down to money. They break it out into several videos on RU-vid (more views), and if they put the whole thing on RU-vid it would take away from people listening to podcast (more money).

Gibbs did this with Joey to and look what he has accomplished at Penske

@@aaronhobart6223 man, gibbs tends to kick drivers who pilots that 20 car.

@@norandomstuff Gibbs kicks guys too quickly. And it's obvious Denny and Kyle got all the good stuff... Chase Elliot and Kyle Larson do too at Hendrick, but at least Rick gives William and Alex equipment to work with.

Did Bubba ever win in the Petty car?

@@carlfrye1566 nope he finished second at Daytona once

Thank you for your Service to our U.S.A. !

Thank you for your service and God bless.

A Petty fan & retired Air Force...pocket aces

Nope

Tony Stewart should pick him up

I hope he saved all that 🤣 money he earned he's gonna have to start his ouw team

@@mekhi8168 Starting a new NASCAR team is highly difficult and highly expensive.

@@markwilliams5606 should “have”

It makes the Gibbs Christianity look like a crumbling facade.

Exactly

Running a racing team is a business. Erik doesn't have a sponsor to bring with him like Kurt Busch had Monster Energy, or Danica Patrick had Go Daddy. Sponsors will stick with a driver if their personality or demographic fits their brand. Dale Jr. will tell you that NASCAR Teams are bleeding money. Only a dedicated sponsor can support a team effort. When M&M's dropped Kyle Busch, he was left hanging like a horse thief on the prairie. Unfortunately, that's the state of racing today. I hate it as much as anyone. Erik's a solid driver with a good work ethic and driving style. I think he will be a good fit at Petty. The best possible outcome is that he gets some wins for The King next year. We can hope...

I haven't had any respect for JGR since Bobby Labonte's days.

@@Ghostmotorfinger nail on the head, as a long time Jeff Gordon fan, knowing and watching what Bobby did to elevate that team ( before stwart, and the rest of his champs) he brought sponsors, crew and even more the structure to create a racing dynasty. I'd say next would be roush and Mark martin, or roush and Carl Edward's.

the old man need to Retire

There are pros and cons to big organizations like JGR, HMS, etc. And one of the big cons is that it is a 4 car stable and top tier team. And it's tough. But, Erik is in a good place at Petty-GMS, which is building from the ground up. And rumor has it they will have another partner in ownership for next year, and a well known person/former driver.

@@rjl1184 you called it!

@@rjl1184 Gibbs is toxic period

Right on! Remember, Joe Gibbs was a football coach, and those guys toss players away like used rags.

Yeah like how they did Kenseth

Leffler, Yeley, Logano, Suarez, Erik, and now Kyle, all thrown away

Well it hurts no matter what. I’m sure if they looked at you and said we don’t need you anymore you wouldn’t have felt any better about it.

@@alanluscombe8a553 I think saying you are going in a different direction makes it easier onthe person doing the firing, not the employee.

@@DavidHBurkart sure it does and it is more respectful even if the end outcome is the same. You could walk up to someone and say what’s up motherfucker or you could walk up and say hey how’s it going? One is just more polite than the other that’s all

I would just say "ah yeah headed right for a cliff. Good luck with that." 😃

@@dchawk81 best reply

YES !!!!

Man I would LOVE to see it. Give them another 2 or 3 years and I think they'll be a top tier team once again.

With Noah joining that team next year no reason there not going to get even better

And Kyle and Kenneth

They essentially fired Edwards as well as Suarez and Kenseth

They don’t care about good drivers. To them they are a product not a driver. They are completely replaceable in their eyes.

I personally think there were underlying motives at JGR with no intentions of keeping Kyle so they could put Ty Gibbs In the 18 car.

You got that right@@linhunnicutt6556

1 kyle bush is going to find out why Kevin left rcr, 2 jones suck ass he is the worst

He would be in the top 5 in points under the old format. That means he's been consistent all year long Also, Roll Tide. Born and raised a Bama fan and will stay one till I die

Yes, JGR sucks.

Denny will be the next one to get the screws put to him isn't like he is near talented as Kyle and they put screws to Kyle for his grandson

Gibbs is not an angel. Will never forget a radio interview with him after Carl Edwards pushed Kyle Busch out of the way to pass Busch and win the race. Gibbs was not happy with Edwards. Carl retired at the end of the season. Wish I could remember the exact quote from Gibbs but it was not very “Christian like.” I think most of that is an act, not sincere at all.

@@user-lr9wo3de9u I'm sure he will pray alot next year when Kyle is destroying the Toyota's in a RCR Chevy.

It is wild how some drivers just explode and others don’t this guy has potential but being in the big time creates road blocks I guess

I JGR fan too i think Joe Gibbs him self is hurting his whole org I think old man need to Retire cause they let Busch go and did not even try cause he want his punk grand son in the car and now this with Jones IDK anymore

Haahaa , ur an old man like me 👍

Cutthroat yet somehow JJ Yeley got two seasons in the 18

@@user-ed1yx2fq7l funding

@@BIGBURT I guess but the sponsor was always interstate batteries for years before that so JJ must have brought his own money to drive if so

@@user-ed1yx2fq7l pay drivers weren't as relevant in 2006 as they were now. JJ brought nothing to JGR except the 2 year deal he had signed for 2006/7 after he had driven for them in Xfinity for 3 years. They got rid of him as soon as the deal was up because he never started performing

I want blaney to take over for harvick when he retires.

There's only really one driver Toyota lost this year from development for next year. I wouldn't not consider Brandon Jones a development driver for TRD. Pretty much all the Toyota development drivers will have Toyota rides next year between jgr Xfinity series and David gilland racing with them switching back to Toyota

@@johnhaas2523 until DGR gets priced out of business engine wise. Toyota and TRD already did that to 2 Cup Series teams

Richard nothing but the public face for Petty GMS just like was with Richard Petty Motorsports he gets paid for his likeness and name

Richard disagrees. He has said he is involved with meetings in race operations

Joe Gibbs dose things the way he did when he was NFL head coach

Fact. Well said.

I think the new car and Murray Gallagher ownership of the 43 has helped. Richard is basically paid for his likeness and name and owns 4%

Still got love to MTJ Next might be is last year

Toyota did not shut furniture row down the owner did because could not find a replacement for 5-hour energy and so didn't have enough sponsorship and wasn't going back to self funding or race without a jgr alliance. I'm pretty sure Toyota also had nothing to do with LFR shutting down

@@johnhaas2523 One of the reasons FR shut down and they said it. Toyota was rising the cost to run there equipment. Same with LFR.

@@jaggerdebusk14 jgr alliance was going up but owner of furniture row racing wasn't complaining about that and he could have chosen to have no alliance or switched manufacturers and found a cheaper alliance if wanted

Denny starting a team had nothing to do with Erik's release...

Agreed

grandbrat

@@master335 amen

Spoon Fed Grandpa’s Boy

PunkGibbs i got no Respect for that kid

It wasn't that Kenseth couldn't find sponsors, the sponsors of the 20 also worked with Erik in Xfinity and pushed Joe and Toyota to put Erik in the car

@@AngryKirbyHatesYou If the sponsor is looking to go to a specific driver, that pretty much means the existing driver doesn't have sponsorship. Matt had struggled with it even when Dollar General left. If Matt was willing to take a drastic pay cut, I think JGR would have kept him but everyone wanted to shift to the younger/cheaper driver

@@zerodos_02 yeah but Matt finding sponsors had nothing to do with it. Stanley B&D had a deal with JGR to sponsor the 20. Even if Matt had gone out and brought new sponsors interested in joining it wouldn't have saved his career

Nah

Sergio Perez should have been in better cars long before now, he's a real driver.

15th-18th range talent is selling him short. I know those were his point finishes at JGR, but he really just had rotten luck in the Chase, he always ran in the top 10 even tho he was like 20 years old. And his entire garbage team there (pit crew and crew chief) is now either flipping burgers or demoted to lower levels because they were just horrible.
