Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a semi-retired American professional stock car racing driver, team owner, and is currently an analyst for NASCAR on NBC. His new book "Racing to the Finish: My Story" is available now.
@@dmikebuechler Did you listen until the end? His dad clearly wasn't a good father. I agree that making his kid work a real job for money was good, but it also sounds like he was unreasonably distant and dismissive. The way Dale Jr describes it, he only got 3 years of actual human interaction with his father before he passed. That's not being a good father.
@@Drewb18c1 Well, what determines what a good father is? Did he provide for his family? Taught his kids the value of hard work? Of course we'll agree no ones perfect and i'm sure Sr wasnt but hey, judging from the results then yeah, you could argue he was a good father.
Took my little cousin to meet him around 04 at a mall. Some Drakkar sponsored signing. So many people showed up. One end of the mall to the other 4 wide. We wouldve never got to him. So i bought a disposable camera and took my cousin around the mall and settled at a back alley entrance where i figured he would go thru. Not 5 mins later 4 or 5 Escalades whip down the alley to the back door about 50 yards from us. They all get out immediately and couldve easily went in and ducked us. I yelled Dale and he waited like 10 seconds for us to run down there to them. Signed a couple of our things. Got a couple pics.Thanked him and he said no problem guys and thanked us. Super good dude. Always has been. Lifelong fan.
Dude. I had a similar experience. I grew up in Fort Worth TX and Texas Motor Speedway is literally next door. Well since I knew who he was I was a JR fan. 03 Texas race comes around and my parents took 9 year old me to get a bunch of autographs. Well come to find out you had to have special tickets to get JR autographs ( he was on stage with 3 other drivers). I was decked out in my Dale JR gear with my camo JR hat walking up the stairs in tears because I was told I couldn’t get s JR autograph just the other 3 guys. As I’m walking to the other guys he says “Hey Buddy, you didn’t want my autograph? Come over here!” I got there and he hugged me and signed my hat. It’s easily one of my favorite childhood memories.
Jay Mercer I’ve got a similar story... me and my fam waited outside Dover after track testing and he drove out with his Chevy equinox and I thought he was gonna drive by but he stopped and signed some stuff for people... it was the year he was retiring too
It's because he is a down to earth hometown American. It's not about the money, fame, material items it's about life, faith and love. Those that say it is an act or something other than him being him just don't know him or the sport that he and his father have devoted their lives to. That is why he was voted most popular driver for 14 straight years... class act is right!
When I first started really getting into Nascar and trying to figure out who my favorite driver was going to be, I really wanted it to be anyone but Dale Jr. He was everybody's favorite, and I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon. However, the more I watched, the more I realized that there was just no getting around it. He was simply the coolest guy in Nascar. It had nothing at all to do with who his daddy was, or the fact that so many other people liked him, even though people tried to tell me those were the only reasons why he was my favorite driver for years. Honestly, those were the only factors that made my decision difficult. Eventually, I just stopped fighting it. Dale Jr. was, and still is, the coolest, most genuine, down to earth dude in Nascar, period, regardless of who his daddy was.
Doug Brown same. I was listening to it on my phone then watched it when I got home and after I was like... I gotta check the comments cause of how many different types of people follow joe but I’m super impressed of how many positive mature comments there are. There’s the occasional troll but I mean it’s really hard to hate or not relate to anything he talked about.
Make no mistake he was a very proud father, Jr knows that too. That era of NASCAR was something I’m happy to have whiteness as a devoted fan. That DEI drive team was such a spectacle that even in its hay day, everyone knew they were witnessing history in the making and that we’d be talking about it forever, and then Dale Earnhardt Sr was killed on the track and it was set in stone... Those three DEI cars were the top dogs by a huge margin, they were always faster and together at the front of the pack. A few years before and a couple years after the restrictor plate regulations was the pinnacle of the sport. Sr was killed in one of the very first restrictor plate races and the sport started a steady nosedive. People blame the decline on all the implemented regs but it’s no mystery Dales death played almost an equal hand.
He's got a good head on his shoulders. Just because you have money doesn't mean you should spend it stupidly. Nomad chassis and bodies are expensive because they've become popular (thanks to Barrett Jackson and Mecum auctions, although I looooooooooooove watching those shows). A '67 Camaro chassis and body probably weren't that expensive until people started to realize how awesome those cars are. Perfect example: go look at old-school Broncos and Jeeps. They've become very popular as of late, especially Broncos, and don't sleep on the old Suzuki Samurais... those are becoming popular too.
They say that to seem higher than the rest, only douches make ungodly amounts of cash with not spending it in mind. Can't take it with you so blow some and save some for the kids :)
I've gotten so much better at conversations by listening to this podcast. I'll be with someone and think things like: "Whoa, I should stop and let them talk for a while." "Huh, an awkward pause... Joe would ask them a question about something they know." "Ooh, I know something I can connect to what they just said." It might sound basic, but I'm awkward around people and this podcast lets me listen to people who are good at talking.
I agree. People have some incredible stories to tell but unfortunately a lot of people are horrible at listening and keeping criticism/opinions to themselves. They arent needed everywhere.
Same dude I am a conversational toilet normally, but after a year or so of nonstop podcast watching i can feel a rhythm in convos now, like a duet. It's easy to forget that one person has to listen every once in a damn while.
I noticed that too. I was taking notes this interview as well. Those 3 tidbits are really the most essential thing you need for a good convo. And its simple to learn. Joe is really good at getting out of the way when needed and then getting in the way when needed.
I went to his "final" race last November at Homestead. My dad was wearing his classic Bud #8 shirt and we were in the pits and got stopped by a camera crew. He was one of a few who got to say a final farewell to him. We went up to the stands and before the race they typically have all 40 drivers ride around on the back of pickup trucks, waving to the fans. Dale Jr got a lap all by himself, with a humongous American flag and an equal sized #88 flag behind it getting pulled by semis. In a sold out crowd of 46,000 people, doesn't matter which driver you were a fan of, everyone stood up and payed respect to him. It was a very emotional moment. In the 20 years I've been following the sport, he was never my favorite driver, but I have never had the emotions for a racecar driver like I've had for Jr. He's a really cool dude.
Jeff Wizniak ... Anyone can drive in a straight line or predictable left hand curves for hundreds of laps... it's the act of going straight, negotiating a left hand bend, harshly braking and negotiating a tight right hand bend, then harshly accelerating until your next braking zone and driving through the next right/left/right chicane, where upon you accelerate down the back straight where you meet an overtaking opportunity down the other end... That's motor racing...
@@davemuckeye nascar is the toughest form of racing it has been proven. Every open wheel driver that comes to nascar struggles. A nascar weighs twice as much as an indy car and uses tires half the size
@@robertrush9950 I just knew this little subthread would be coopted for Julia before i clicked view replies. The phrase full throttle has been irrevocably changed for so many of us.
Heres a series of interviews recently done about his life from start to now by Graham Bensinger. Pretty good watch with interviews of his wife Amy and sister Kelley also. ru-vid.com/group/PLW5qT4HIAd1bqBQTjXiK4RE6we1By9M1A

Thank you for this! My admiration for this dude just went from zero to hero bc of what a fantastic guy his seems to be. Looking forward to these interviews. . @@XanderH4W6
Dale Jr's story on growing up, and his relationship with his Father, and losing him, struck a chord with me. My Father and I had a very rocky relationship when I was around 12-16, and often went months without seeing each other. I reached out to him, after realizing my loving Mother can only teach me so much, and at that time, I needed him. I started to visit him every chance i got. We grew closer, and started to develop a much better relationship, now that I was in my later teens. A few years down the road, we became best friends when I took the opportunity to work along side him, in my early 20's. I'm so thankful for all the great times we had, all the things he tough me, and the conversations we had together. I'm 28 now, and it's been a little over a year since he passed away from lung cancer, but i'll never forget the memories we made together throughout the years.
Im so happy Dale Jr got to do something his dad never did. He got to retire, and gets to enjoy his family and life. Those of us who saw the 2001 Daytona 500 live on tv flag to flag and saw what an amazing race that was, and how tragically it ended... i wont ever get over it. So happy Jr gets a happy ending
That was the first and only Nascar race I ever watched . I dont care about the "sport" at all, but I happened to be working out of town, and my co-worker whom I was sharing a hotel room with was into Nascar, so I watched it. Very strange set of circumstances.
@@567dirt8910 how did it end. Was your co worker uoset or how did he react. Also i imagine that was incredible thing to see first time you watch a NC race.thanks for sharing
That was actually the first full race I ever watched. I became a huge Nascar fan after that it didn't have anything to do with seniors death. I love the sport and love Dale jr. As well what a class act.
crista soles he was certainly tripping out. I definitely knew who Senior was, but not being familiar with it all, I didn't think it looked like a bad crash at all.
Did anyone else LOL when Jr. said “eyes toed out...”? Nothing but respect for #88. I don’t think anyone can understand Jr. having to grow up in his dad’s shadow, in a huge professional sport and be so successful, humble and grateful on his own terms. What are the odds? Seriously.
As a veteran with a head injury profile on par with this guy, and having been through the therapy he described, also with a professional sports doctor...who also sees everyone, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, thank you Mr. Dale Earnhardt Jr. for describing your concussion experiences. Veterans who see this will identify and be able to admit help is needed and seek it because you had the courage to share this difficult stuff. Service members who may be. dealing with these issues and were not aware help is available, may now become so. SM's dealing with theses issues, but without a way to explain what is happening, can now show your video and say..."look, it's like this." Sir, you are so respected, almost universally, among service members, & civilians alike, hearing this from you, especially to Joe Rogan, is going to carry weight. You may be healing families right now from your honesty and willingness to open up about something really hard to admit...who wants to be 'less' right? I'm sharing this with my Veteran's group at our next meeting. Thank you again, I know how difficult it can be to speak about something that ended a career in something you love so dearly. You're a hero for doing this, even though you may not think so. Thank you again to you and thank you to Mr. Rogan as well for creating this moment.
Dale could spend 50k a day for almost 22 yrs before he spent all his money and yet he’s still humble enough to say that’s a lot of money! All these young/famous guys should take notes
@@TomRoyce its really cool, because Dale Jr always seemed really down to earth when I either seen him at a signing(which was once cause my friend made me stand in line with him, he is a HUGE FAN!) . . THEN, I have seen him 2 times, maybe actually 3 times in the wild , when I was out to eat. He was more than gracious to say hello, and even take a selfie one time. I know these to thing don't actually fit together perfectly. But its cool to see he wasn't just acting like a "normal guy" when I seen him. . stuff like an expensive chassis actually bothers him. . peace, Eric the Eturn
Dale Jr. seriously seems like one of the coolest dudes in sports. Genuinely nice and humble, you could probably talk with the guy about pretty much anything.
So my cousin is in nascar, he started off as a rear tire carrier with lagano and then made his way to Hendrix motor sports with Jimmy Johnson and then eventually Dale Jr. I'm not sure whether he was in Johnson's or JR'S cree but at the end of one the seasons JR threw a huge party at his little western town JR owns. Hendrix had a good year so it was a massive party. My cousin ended up staying until 7 in the morning with just JR and another guy just talking. He said he was by far the most amazing dude he has ever met and just was super open to talk about anything.
@@1LJ84 Cool story man, exactly what I'm talking about. I can think of very few famous sports stars that would be willing to just chill out with support staff like that, for that long.
Us race fans REALLY wish it was 3 hours. Never seen him this open and candid before. Dales pretty honest on his weekly podcast but he has to toe a family friendly mindset on it.
Hopefully a lot of people like you will see this and then realize why he has so many fans, despite not having the success of Jimmie Johnson or some of the others. I'm sure his dad helped him get fans in the beginning, but that isn't the main reason why he is so loved by so many people, all these years after his dad's death. He was, and still is, simply the coolest, most genuine, down to earth dude in racing. To be honest, he's probably one of the most likable people in all of sports, and that has nothing to do with who his daddy was, regardless of what many people seem to think.
The things he has done for our children's hospital (Nationwide Children's Hospital) here in Columbus, Ohio are amazing. He and his wife seem like genuinely good people who care.
Culturally every southern mans father is invincible to them, just like every southern mans mother is an angel on earth. As an adult when that invincibility fades and you have to step up as a man to care for your parents... it’s a terrifying and rattling reality.
Fuck you’ve hit the nail on the head. Be it death or disappointment that realization that they’re only human really puts life and responsibility into perspective
Louisiana Texas native here hi proud sourherner here I understand the southern pride but it's crazy how we think that things people all over the world feel the same way like people up north dnt believe there dad is superman
There's a reason that he is so popular. The guy is like NASCAR royalty, yet he's very unpretentious and just a humble, nice guy. Probably a good, fun guy to hang out with.
I had a friend in school and his cousin raced a handful of races in the early-mid 00's in the truck series. He got invited to Dale Jrs. house for a party and was already a huge dale fan. JC couldnt believe how down to earth Jr was for someone who was uber famous in those circles back then.
She the reason why DEI under like it did all because she didn't want dale jr and kelly dale jr sister to have any ownership then after all of the major sponsorships left with dale jr, she was forced to merge with another team
Been to Jr's place 3 times and he always treated me like his best friend. Even though we aren't really good friends, we just know a lot of the same people. I haven't seen him since his wedding, but I know he's doing good. He is the most busy person I've ever known.
One small thing that was so striking to me is Jr saying how short he is (he’s 6 foot) and how massive his dad was, ( he was 6’1”). The way even a grown man viewed his father really says a lot.
Frank Newberry He was actually a damn good father. As a father you have high expectations for your kids because you raised them and you know they can achieve whatever they put their minds too. You want the best for your kids and want them to not make the mistakes you have made and achieve more then you ever could. He talks about his dad being disappointed when he didn’t try and that continued for him, or at least in his mind, until he realized his potential. I don’t want my child to feel like I’m disappointed in her all the time, but I want her to know I’m disappointed when she doesn’t try or does something that she knows not to do. Basic parenting right there! If you let your kid do whatever they want and you just pat them on the back and deliver no consequences or goals to achieve then your child is going to have a hard time when they get older.
Dude legit just wants to go drink beer and race rc cars with his buddies. He talks about how in the middle of his career at DEI he and Kenny Wallace would go race slot cars every Monday afternoon with a bunch of friends.
Why am I so stupid? I assumed Dale Earnhardt Jr. was a spoiled, stuck-up. entitled dude. And he's like the smartest, nicest guy one could hear from. Where do such assumptions arise?
This is the beauty of long form unedited discussions on the internet in this new age of media. The legacy media and TV are primitive now, and are desperate to stay in control of the narrative, since they've been in control for decades.
Dale is probably one of the coolest guys on the planet. Has the fame, the beautiful family and all the money a person could ask for, and talks and acts like an ordinary guy. Much respect for him.
One of my favorite memories is seeing Dale Jr. win at Texas Motor Speedway. It was special to me because I was there with my Dad and it was his first Cup victory that he shared with his Dad. #8 #3 I will always be a Dale jr. Fan. Love You Brother!
This is one of those shows where I have ZERO interest in initially, and by the end I wanted another hour or two. I don't care much about racing, but Dale Jr seems like a hell of a guy.
You should check out his podcast, he's just as level headed as he is here, but in his environment... Pretty funny, very entertaining and dam educational!!
Dude. The definition of irony. Raised in England with Irish parents, watch Nascar on late night TV tests in UK [ 80's-90's ], Dale [ and his dad ] are rock stars to this 48-year-old 'Brit' tech geek ;0)
Wow I always assumed Jr was just reaping his father's benefits. He really seems like such a self made man. I was wrong. He's earned my respect by a landslide.
Dale Jr can't even get his old racing uniform from Dale Sr's widow Theresa. Can't get any of his own father's racing equipment. Hasn't seen a dime from DEI because of that greedy little woman. She's spiteful and has taken everything away from Dale Jr and his sister and brother. Do some reading on her and it'll turn your stomach inside out and you'll want to ring her neck. It's a shame what she's out the Earnhardt family through for her own monetary gains. Pathetic and disgraceful.

Dale Jr. is such a great guy...so humble and charming. It easy to see why this guy was NASCAR’s most popular driver for something like 13 or 14 straight years before retiring after last season. This was a damn good conversation.
Yep, and that's why it really annoys the crap out of me when ignorant people say "the only reason everyone likes him is because of his daddy." If he isn't the coolest, most genuine, down to earth dude in all of sports then he's definitely one of them. People like him because he's likable.
As tough as Dale Sr. was, you see nothing but respect come from Jr. when he talks about him. In fact he tries hard to make sure his Father's memory is respected. Seems like parents these days need to toughen up.
@TheRealCaine As a kid who grew up with a distant father who liked to use the belt....Let's say I'd rather have had a dad who was kinder and didn't use a belt.
As much as dale jr respects his old man, its undeniable if you have watched him over the years or listen to his podcast that he has allot of personality quirks that come from how his relationship with his pops was. People like to always say shit like your comment but, jr answer that he wasn't more motivated by his dad being a dick about who wasn't at the track for him to win is all the answer you need. Hes got massive anxiety issues, he cares deeply about what anyone and everybody thinks about him, hes pretty insecure at times. He always talks about how all he cares about is a pat on the back. Hes always seeking acceptance. Allot of that can be attributed to his upbringing.
@lslvn During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States government was publishing monthly magazine 'AMERYKA' in Poland. In one copy I found an awsome article about NASCAR racing with Earnhardt's photo in it. I was a big racing fan back then, especially Formula 1, but It was the first time I've heard about him. He seemed like an amazing person. Sorry, I do not remember where exactly I got the address. Maybe it was in the magazine or maybe I found it in other sources. The address certainly was not to the embassy, it was either directly to him or to his agency. My english was horrible, I wonder how they understood what I was asking for :) Cheers.

As an avid Dale sr fan, I always thought of jr as a spoiled little shit. I guess much like his dad did. After this interview I now regret my thoughts of him, I always said he is not a driver like his dad.. no one is a driver like his dad. I am sorry Jr. it is my regret to not have been a fan. I am now, and I will buy this book. Great interview Joe.
I was twelve years old watching the Daytona 500 with my mother when I watched this man's father(someone my mother and father both loved) make a move that would give his son the win, and cost him his own life. My mother cried for days, she watched tons of tapes of Dale sr. Later that same year we'd watch the towers fall in New York, world's never been the same since 2001 in my opinion. I already knew who this man was though, no surprise, just a smile.
Same here bro, my father had passed that same year, Dale Senior was a huge inspiration as I grew up in the automotive industry from engineering to racing so his death hit me incredibly hard. I like most couldn't even watch racing after his death and to know his son went out there and continued on is what got me to start watching again. As hard as it was for me, I cant even imagine how it t was for Junior as it was his father, its great to relive this moment, be it painful, by the end it turned into closure. Glad to see JR turned out to be a very respectable human being despite having a well paved path in life. This is now my favorite JRE podcast's, and I have watched them all, only because this relates so closely to me.
That's a small percentage of y'all down there. I live in Indiana and I was working in Alabama for a few months and it felt like home down there with how polite and welcoming y'all were down south. Southern hospitality is a real thing. Best BBQ you'll ever eat too..

Thank you Dale Jr for coming forward and writing and this. You have explained it, with words that I have forgotten how to.

I’m not from the U.S but I’m a Motorsport fan of all sorts. When I catch a NASCAR race I’ll watch and it’s a spectacle. But hearing these two shoot the shit is amazing. Dale is so down to earth. He is what I think of when people talk about wholesome southern folk.
I am fascinated by foreingers thatare into NASCAR and US southern culture. I was shocked when a German recentlytold me online that he occasionally watches NASCAR and that it has a fanbase in Europe.
Watching from South Africa, and I've also watched the odd Nascar race when I could catch it, but I don't mind watching old races here on RU-vid either. Did actually watch about 3/4 of this year's Daytona 500. With about 22 laps left it looked like it would finish in about 30 minutes or so, ie 02:00 local time, but then they had the one caution after the other, becoming more and more interesting, but also dragging it out to about 03:15! Dale Jr is a true mensch. I've watched several of his Download videos and really enjoyed them because he's always come across as a very down-to-earth kinda guy, but he's also quite funny without trying too hard, and a brilliant interviewer, but after this interview I have even more respect for him, if that is even possible.
Thats me a week ago when i got my first dropper bottle of CBD. Works wonders. Great for stress, sleep, and inflammation. Also good for focus and keeping your mind clear during those long days.
His Dad seemed like a stern not loving guy but he raised some good humble kids. How can you be that rich your whole life and be humble? His Dad/Mom did something very right.
The way he described taking that corner at Talladega and the grip at 190mph+, just amazing. I dont care who you are or what your feelings about racing are, that is just simply amazing.
You literally copied a comment from Grant Marshall on here: Grant Marshall 1 day ago This guy is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and drives an old pickup truck. Really great interview Joe.
@@kilquik88 you do realize the only reason you are saying these things is because I caught you right. Like no man would ever talk about another dude like this. It's seriously kind of weird
This gentleman right here holds a very special spot in my hear his daddy was a beautiful person and I was a proud individual to watch him race here at the TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY.
It used to be fun to watch now its boring they've ruined it it's going bankrupt and probably won't be around much longer rite after dale Sr died they changed a lot of rules and restricted the power made contact a big no no go back watch dale Sr race in the is it was crazy he was passing people in the grass he was bumping people fighting in the pits it was fun then
He's a gentleman from top to bottom. He's not jaded by fame, he's not entitled, he's not a dickhead because his name. He's just an ordinary gentleman that lived an extraordinary life. His father taught him well, and he continues to be a great example of being a good human.
Damn...I got emotional listening to Jr talk about how he can't wait for his daughter to grow up a bit because he wants to know what she sounds like when she talks and what she wants her father(Jr) to do. Not saying I cried but I definitely felt the unparalleled love coming through this screen and speaker
@@Chris-hw4mq no where near rich. Only $130 a week is not much and he had to borrow money to go late model racing and even wasnt getting paid much in his busch series days at first
Hes a legit down to earth guy, so much more normal than u would expect. Met him a few times at fan events and around Talladega area, (my family has a farm in Lincoln, AL about 5 miles from the track)hes that way with all his fans, a truly nice guy who loves his fans. Def a big fan of his career and him as a person
@@InspectorButters4 I had always heard of him but always thought very differently of him, now that I think about it I think it was because he kept a private life perhaps and I just didn't know. I'm not a car person or racing but now a big fan of him as a person.
So humble. He recognizes that the Earnhardt name opened up doors for him (it didn't help Kerry that much though). Always a cool, down to earth, and honest dude.
I agree, but to be fair, Kerry had the opportunity, too, but he just wasn't good enough. That's why it's always annoyed me so much when ignorant people say that Jr can't drive. He never was as great of a driver as his dad was, obviously, but if he didn't have tons of talent he wouldn't have won all those races and stayed in the Cup series for so long, competing for championships. If being a legend's son was all it took then Kerry and Kyle Petty would have spent a lot more time in the Cup series.
Kerry had all the opportunity jr had especially because he looked just like his dad but he also understood the sacrifice & time away from his family it would take to be successful & he wasn’t willing to trade that. He wanted to be the dad he never had because dale sr. Sacrificed his family for racing & wasn’t there for him til Kerry came back into his life later on. But I know dale felt bad about that & wasn’t hard on him like he was on jr.
My favorite Nascar driver since I was a kid. I remember when he used to drive the Budweiser 8 car, he was the man back then! Dale and his dad are legends.
Cop: "Dad are you gonna put this car that your son wrecked on your flatbed and go home?" Dad: "Yeah, I got it from here." Cop: "Okay.... You two have a goodnight." Dale Earnhardt... Life off the grid..
Dale is a really, really great rolemodel and he turned out amazing as a person. Sadly, I don't watch NASCAR, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. has such a genuine, beautiful soul.
I love being surprised with the guests you have. Never disappointment seems like it just keeps getting better and better. I'm thankful for your podcast more than you will know.... The sober october recap was the shit.
this made me laugh pretty hard, but realistically Ari is one of my all time favorite guests, he's the only guest that has made me laugh til i cried while listening at the gym,

I feel the same as a lot of commenters here. Wonderful dialogue, could've listened for a few more hours. Not a nascar guy, in fact I always laughed at jokes made at the expense of the sport. Now, I get it! 150 degree cabs, losing 6 and 7 pounds after a 3 hour race. Dale Jr. is so down to earth. Thank you Joe!
