Mike Joy Shares His Last Conversation with Dale Earnhardt Sr. | The Dale Jr. Download 

Mike Joy needs to be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.....

I'm going to be sad when Mike Joy retires. As I did when Ken Squire retired. There is nothing more nostalgic about Nascar than the announcers voice. It's what I remember most about being a kid watching nascar.

The smile on jr. When mike started talking about his dad Was awesome to see.

GOAT NASCAR commentators ever. Enjoyed this story.

This little story made me cry

Love Mike Joy. He’s so smooth with his play by play. You could not watch but just listen to him talk and it’s just so descriptive that you could see it in your mind. He deserves his spot in the NASCAR hall of fame.

I almost shredded a tear when Mike Joy talked about the last time he talked to Dale and I thought what could’ve been.... He probably would’ve raced at Le Mans, Spa, Nurburgring and other great road courses around this great world of ours... Man I got goosebumps just thinking about it... The sport would be in a much different way if Sr. didn’t pass... I think we should have a Apple TV or a simple mini series NASCAR alternate timeline What If scenario series based on the drivers we’ve lost... like that alternate timeline series “For All Mankind” and I think it should be life action or animated... I hope we should see something like this down the road. If Marvel and The Space Race does it. Why can’t NASCAR?! And I’m sure it’ll never get off the ground but that’s what I want I don’t care what big tech thinks... but I don’t know what would be the NASCAR what if scenario series title called? What do you guys think?

Damn, I appreciate that MJ! You gave Jr a hell of a feeling, I could see it in his face!

Who doesn’t love hearing stories about Dale - Mike I’m sure has tons he could tell us

Dale Jr sounded like a kid getting advice from Mike. Loved it.

Hearing Mike Joys voice is so amazing

I'm not crying, you are! 😭😭😭

Ever since I've watched a NASCAR race, I always loved hearing Mike Joy. I remember him as a pit reporter, and announcer for CBS before 2001, and since 2001, he'd been an announcer for NASCAR on FOX since. I love that man to death! He ought to be in the Hall of Fame one day.

Mike Joy is perhaps the best broadcaster the sport has ever seen, and he’s never even raced professionally! He’s garnered so much respect from everyone in the sport: drivers, fans, promoters, NASCAR execs… His knowledge of the sport and his way of relating to the people is what got him there.

They need to get Dave Despain on to share racing stories!

I watched that Rolex 24 hr race and loved how big and loud that yellow #3 'vette was compared to the European cars, and I think that was part of the allure for Sr is that he knew he was in the gnarliest car out there!

Loved this discussion and love MJ as an announcer. Please don’t ever retire!

So glad he included the last Dale convo to tell Jr. Very meaningful. Sandi

Mike Joy is very down to earth and shares so much with the public...met him in the mid 90's at Stafford here in Connecticut..he owns a racing fuel company btw...he had some great insight and spent a lot of time with the fans there

Living Legend

love all you do Dale. you truly have transitioned the Earnhardt name to a special place

Mike has been one of the Best all through his career, have known him since the 70's when him and Jack Arute were announcing at Stafford Speedway in CT. Two great people....🏁

Possibly my favorite commentator, either him or Ken Squire. It's awesome knowing he wanted to race Le Mans!

I was waiting for this one.

Well, now I'm crying 😢 😭

Smash like if you think Mike Joy better than Rick Allen

MIKE JOY IS A CLASS ACT!!

Crying in the club listening to that story

MIke Joy, thank you for sharing that! I always loved it when you were calling the race and I know you had a lot of respect for Dale Sr, but did you see Dale Jr's eyes light up when you said that about his Dad? Jr, I saw your eyes light up and your brain was running 199.9 mph. thank you gentlemen!

What a great memory to share!!!

I'm so happy that Mike Joy shared that story with you because you needed to know your Dad was proud of you and he did have FUN with you even though he was called home to HEAVEN far to soon 🙏 THIS TIDBIT STORY IS A PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSING 🙏 AND YOU CAN KEEP IT WITH YOU ALWAYS ❤ 🤗❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

It would have been cool to see Senior racing at Lemans

GOOD STUFF DALE JR LOVE MIKE JOY MAN ITS SO COOL THAT YOU CAN BE HIS BUDDY

Mike Joy deserves to be a nascar Hall of Famer when he retires. The modern day “Ken Squier”

You could tell Jr.’s eyes just lit up. He was holding back all those emotions almost as well as he did when he was telling Kenny Schrader

Alot of people talk- sometimes good and bad- about who was in the booth along side Mike Joy ,i get it- some like some dont ,But cant recall alot the didnt like/love hearing Mike Joy.HOF on my ballot.History and stories he could and does tell is amazing.Hes the GUY you want in the backyard while your bbqing whatever,telling stories about this day and that moment and i remember when conversations.Mike Joy is a freaking legend of our sport.Hes like the late great Barney Hall from MRN(BTW Mike J worked at MRN).that voice told you everything.

Great show. Mike is a legend. I got the feeling that JR wants to be In the booth for a long time

Mike Joy is a national treasure, the gold standard in motor sports broadcasting.

Mike is hella cool. I always wanted to go racing with my dad when he was racing. But I was 5,6,&7. I feel bad about it now in hindsight, cause he couldn't even go to tech inspection prior to the weekend without me hanging on to his belt when he'd leave the house. I just loved it.

Mike Joy Best Pit Reporter For CBS Sports From The 80s And Early 90s Thanks For Uploading

Mike Joy is a living legend

Great stories 😎🇺🇸

Amarti ancora by Brice Davoli for the beginning jingle. Lovely song. Nice touch.

I love MIke Joy. one of the best personalities in the history of the sport.

Idk why this made me tear up but damn Dale, get on the track

Good one. I know it has to mean a lot to jr . Hearing things about sr.

Why isn't the entire thing available to be watched on TV ????? Somewhere in streaming at least ????

Man imagine DEI expanding into sports cars. That timeline is nuts to me.

Why not have the entire video session available to watch too??

Dale doing SportsCar Racing would’ve been so much fun for Motorsports fans! What could’ve been….

I never saw dale sr race in nascar live I saw replays of races

I vividly remember that Rolex 24, sitting in my Den on a dark and gloomy day and night, following Dale and Dale.

Bob, Ned, and Benny.

Nice.

They need to bring Allen Bestwick in on the show

dude, i've never even watched a full live race, but I really REALLY enjoy watching these videos.

Dale Jr., has anyone ever done a feature video about the Earnhardt’s involvement in that ‘01 Rolex24? If not, WHY NOT? Chevrolet’s Corvette Marketing Dept. really should have… Sadly, it seems like a missed opportunity. I’d love to see the “Behind The Scenes” of the preparation for that week…

Well DALE Yea

Bob Jenkins & Benny Parsons were calling for ESPN whenI started watching in mid90’s.

Does anyone know what dales last words/word was on that fatal day?

Allen Bestrick or Bill Weber next.

Dale at Le Mans would’ve been a real treat

Mike joy was the pit interviewer to the commentator booth to the podcasts

How is Mike Joy not in the NASCAR hall of fame?

#3: safe across the finish line in heaven. 🏁

It's interesting to think about what Dale Sr. could have done had he survived.

Mike Joy is the voice of Nascar in general in my opinion i mean you can argue that its Ken Squier but i say Ken Squier was the voice of the Winston Cup

Man what could have been.

I've never complained about a Download,this was great as usual,but Dale !!!! PLEASE...lol...dump that intro-music.Don't try to fix what ain't broken,I enjoy hearing every word without music over-shadowing.

It’s weird watching Mike joy on a pod cast because his voice still sounds like a broadcaster it’s not like he changes his voice while broadcasting

Joy is a legend himself.

That intro music was sexy 🏁

Seems like everyone retires alot earlier in life than they used to.. like most driver would race into there late 40 now everyone quits in there early 30... not just nascar either..

They were buddies

👍🏻

Bet Sr wasn't as enthusiastic about road racing in Onizuka, when the red car and the black car went for a romp in the wet grass, lol. That corvette though, that was an awesome experience from a fans perspective too.

Jr really should le manns

I use too like Mike joy.. not so much anymore.. they don't tell the truth on attendance in todays races .. they are not sold out .. NASCAR has been done for years.

Nascar died that day.

Mike joy always got on my nerves

Mike Davis presence ruined this special interview. As always.

Get rid of the fucking music.
