Tony Eury Jr. Shares Never Before Told Teresa Story 

What Teresa never realized was Sr. Fans needed junior to cope with his loss. And the majority of the “3” fans jumped on the Jr bandwagon because they needed him to heal their spirit

Dale Sr could not have picked a worse wife 😂

Media: yes here with Tony Stewart and let's get his thoughts! So Tony what will happen to DEI after Dale Jr leaves? Tony Stewart: it will become a museum!!

Sad to think of what could have been with DEI but glad y’all have shared your stories about it.

As a Nascar fan, and a fan of both Dale's...this is probably the most important stuff I'll ever hear. I really appreciate it . Truly a blessing

Up until the moment I heard it from Tony Jr’s mouth I never once though about what it must’ve done to Teresa. I always looked at it as if Jr and the crews over at DEI were the victims. One hell of an eye opener. Great podcast.

Holy crap dude, these are the kind of podcasts we want!!!

A whole bunch of truth came out in this and it was one of the best Jr ever had

I completely understand what Tony Jr. says about Theresa going back to the races, especially Daytona. I live 50 minutes away and have been there countless times, but for 20 years I have had mixed feelings that I never had before. I was in attendance in February 2001, stunned at what I saw and heard over the radio scanner. I was there in July of that year, with tears welling in my eyes as the 8 and the 15 sat in the trioval after the race. My God, what could have been........................

I have never been much of a Earnhardt or Jr fan, but I do have to say that this Podcast show is one of the best things going in Nascar right now. Really is a great show and my hats off to Jr, Mike and everyone on the show!

Legendary stuff. This podcast just lays all the truth out... it’s what we need more of honestly

Right There is One Guy That Doesn't Get Enough Credit... Brilliant Crew chief 👍🏁

I started watching Nascar in the '80s and was a huge Earnhardt fan. My first and last race was the Brickyard in '95. My seats were right across from Dale Sr. pit box. Having him win the race made it even more special. Once Sr. passed I just moved over to Dale Jr. I watched him race and it gave me that need for racing. When Jr. finally stepped away I lost interest in watching Nascar. For me it just wasn't the same. I think Dale Jr. turned out to be one class act. Thank you and your family for what you did for me to be able to enjoy racing. I truly miss it.

I've listened to Jr's podcast off & on and liked every one of them, but whew...this one is by far the most favorite. Learning about what was happening behind the scenes at a time when the whole Nascar nation was still trying to come to grips with Sr.'s death has given me a new respect with what y'all were really going through. Keep it up you guys, you are what racing is all about and you're gaining more fans here all the time. I feel honored to have been able to meet Dale Sr at the inaugural race at Texas in 1997 and talk to him for a few minutes, all I can say is what a gracious man he was!

Dale’s passing brought more emotional situations for me than any family member. I never met the guy but he was larger then life!

Dale Jr, thank you for sharing these stories and allowing us to better understand the path that you and the team traveled after the loss of your dad. I will forever be a fan of you and your dad. Love you all! God bless you all 🙏❣️

Much respect to Tony Jr for being respectful in his talk of Theresa as yes she’s flawed but losing Dale had to be rough especially Daytona. That said I firmly believe Jr motorsport is more DEI than post 2001 Daytona 500 DEI as while the name was there. Dale and his sister have done wonders for the sport bringing up people like Reddick, Elliott and Byron. Even chance 2 had great success.

I bet Teresa regrets Not giving Dale Jr 51% now....its a sad situation. Utmost respect for Jr and imho he's a GREAT (maybe honorable) man for trudging through all the unimaginable things I know I COULDNT DEAL with and still have a beautiful family to carry on his father and grandfather's name. Much respect to Tony Jr as well... And never forget #3

To hear Jr say "That's fair" after Tony Jr says he had sympathy for her and understands why she didn't want to come around the track after Sr died..... That shows the growth and maturity that Dale Jr has had since everything went down.

The duct tape story was definitely funny

I enjoy listening to Dale Jr. He just calls people out no matter what the topic is going to be about. Btw Dale Jr.. Thanks for the help to bring back North Wilkesboro Track...

This was awesome. When Tony Jr said he misses Sr every day, we all do, it really hit me. At the time of Sr's passing, he was the last active sports idol I had from my childhood, and it was particularly difficult for me. At the time athletes in other sports were my peers, so it was different. People can say ahhhh, you didn't know him...blah blah blah, but they just don't get it. I remember that day verbatim like it was yesterday, and I'll never forget it. Anyhow, it's sad what happened to DEI, and we could only wonder what could have been if Sr was still here. Thank you for sharing these stories with us.

Dale,my Dad was the Alley Cat starting racing with Smokey Unik in 1967 when retiring from the Army. He actually worked for Dick Moroso as a design engineer and used NASCAR as a proving ground. He knew your dad very well. It was a sad day when he passed, but I still have the memory of practically living at the racetrack.

"I thought I was going to get 51% for nothing" (and then that grin). This is why we love Dale Jr.

I'm with Jr., I thought he would either get 51% for $0 or leave... and he left! Paying never crossed my mind. Hell to the naw!!

What a solid yet stand your ground guy Tony Jr. is. He looks very content and living with no regrets. Seemed to always make the the right decision for himself and others around him. Good dude in my books.

Wowser! This was easily the best episode of this podcast I have ever seen and it’s not even close. It was beyond riveting. To be able to peel back the curtain and see what actually happened is amazing for those who were fans of both Dale Junior and Senior. Tony Junior was like the missing link in the whole thing. It may sound crazy but I feel like now I have closure about what really happened.

The old times. I love these stories of the past. We need more of this.

I always love hearing the inside scoop from years gone by it never gets old I am and always will be a true EARNHARDT SR & JR FAN FAM. U All have been apart of my Family my whole life and will continue till I'm gone ur all always in my prayers. I'm pretty sure both our daddys are sittin drinkin a beer talkin shop together I can hear em laughing n scratchin love ya Thanks❤😂🙏🇺🇸✌❤

That was one of yalls best podcasts to me.d.e.i. messed up losing a great driver and truly one of the most genuine and fascinating people in racing and to me the world. I will be in jr camp forever. No matter what you do jr, hell you could sell sandwiches along the road and i would be there to bye some and to tell everybody what a great person dale jr is. You are truly the best of the best dale.....please never change.

Every time I tune in to this podcast I'm completely enthralled because you're always talking about racing when it really meant a lot to me. Thanks for all the inside info!!

Dale Sr will always be my hero and was truly blessed and honored to meet him in October 98 in Nashville as he was introducing the new Monte Carlo. He was so extremely personable and gracious in the 5 minutes my husband and I were allowed to talk with him! Not every "hero" turns out to actually be down to earth and genuine as Dale Sr, but he was and that made me love him even more. After his death, I did watch the rest of the season because I needed Jr to bring healing to my family because we were in great mourning in my home, as if we lost our own. Unfortunately since, we just have no interest in watching anymore but we will always support and follow Jr! Much love to him, his Dad is beaming with pride from Heaven ❤❤❤

It just broke my heart when Tony says he asked Kerry to just come up and walk around the building. "Act like you own it". The place needed an Earnhardt.

I’ve watched this clip 5 times now, and I think it’s because it’s filled with character, and characters, heart(like the whole show). Mike and dale are amazing at interviews, and it helps when they have great guests. It’s been awsome to watch this show, and them grow over the past couple of years, Dale JR is going to be a legend in the broadcast booth.

WOW,, I'm going to have to watch that about a dozen times to get it all. THANK YOU Jr's, Mike & all of the Dirty Mo gang. LOVE the back story of what was transpiring at that time, as painful as it was to watch back then. 👍🏁👍🏁

I would really like to have Dale jr have Teresa on the show.. I would like to hear her side. Time heals everything.. i wonder if they're talking now..

Wish she woulda said yes… Great stories

Only can imagine if Dale Jr got the 51% ownership and DEI could’ve been running still today.

Absolutely another great show . tony jr was a great guest . you must have a part 2

One other thing…Tony jr is a good man, I believe. My Grandmother was a wonderful human being in every sense. She never spoke ill of anyone, behind their back regardless of the situation. That takes a kind soul. Exactly what Tony Jr just did.

This was a good one. Jr keeping hush during the whole thing was even greater. Much respect they have for each other. Very good interview

The shiteatin' grin Dale Jr had after he said " I thought I was gonna get 51% outright for nuthin'" was priceless.

I love these podcast with family and old DEI members. I feel we are all finally getting the untold story everyone has been waiting for! Great stuff!

Great perspective from Tony Jr. I hope that Dale Jr. and Kelley can find a way to mend fences with Teresa someday. It would be great to see the 3 of them come together and work together on Dale's legacy.

That Jr / Michael wreck was straight out of Days Of Thunder . You wrecked both my cars , you're fired , you're all fired

That was definitely worth listening to great conversation

Wow, That is the most I've ever heard TE JR. talk. What an amazing conversation. Thank you guys so much for opening up and sharing all that.

I sure do miss the ol' days of DEI , I'm so glad everything pretty much worked out and Dale's legacy is just as strong today as it was back then.

This is the way talk shows, of all genres, should be conducted; frank, honest, but also respectful. Thanks for this, Junior.

Thank You, I always wondered what ever happened to DEI, I knew there were problems after Sr passed away and between Jr & Teresa but it all disappeared! RIP #3 Dale Earnhardt 🙏⛪

Every time I watch JR’s podcast, I feel like I’m sitting in a room with a couple of buddies

That took guts to speak real talk. Good for Tony jr

I thoroughly enjoyed that. I loved Dale Sr and have a tremendous amount of respect for you Jr. It was great to hear the behind the scenes and even though some of it I’m sure is a little uncomfortable, I feel like you own it. I believe your dad would be really proud of you right now.

Theresa made some horrible decisions in handling with Junior, Junior wasnt innocent himself. It is refreshing to hear a good take on Theresa as much as I despise her letting June Bug go to Rick. Good for Tony Eury being honest and remembering the good things! The duct tape stories hilarious!! And this whole highlight was awesome to hear.

Every single fan would and will tell you that we knew Earnhardt Enterprises would never survive without Dale Jr. and it didn’t. It is so extremely sad that Jr., Kelly, Taylor and Kerry didn’t have a fair chance to bond together and keep Dale’s legacy on the track. Teresa could have been the brains behind it if greed hadn’t set in her being. My husband and I would go to at least 5 to 8 races per season including ARCA races. When Earnhardt was killed, we put it all on Jr.! We were their at Daytona when Dale was killed and when Jr. won after Dale was put to rest. I did not see one person, man, woman and older children with dry eyes or not holding the number 3 in some way or fashion. I don’t think my heart has ever been the same since. It really put a dent in it. Oh the stories I could tell about with them off the track! I still love Jr. as if we were kin. That’s just how racing was. After Gordon retired, then Jr., we have lost our love for racing. Rock and Roll had a phenomenon which was Elvis Presley. NASCAR had a phenomenon, that was Dale Earnhardt!!

Teresa standard time best quote ever lol

Jr has the best damn popcast out !! Great interview as always guys !! Tony Jr was one hell of a crew chief 💯🤟🏼👊🏼

Damn, that was good...I need start listening to this again....I've tuned Nascar out since it's went to spec car boring racing, but hearing these old stories and memories is really cool!

I remember when Dale Jr went to Hendrick, DEI then merged with Ganassi Racing. The legacy of DEI/Ganassi which then is now Trackhouse Racing and Dale Jr. and Kelley then formed JRM in the Xfinity Series. Heartbreaking to say the least.

Unbelievable! You guy’s hit out of the park again. The Jeremy Mayfield interviews and anything with the Eury’s is awesome! The inside stories like this, I think are the true gems that set this show apart from any other outlet, in any sports media. The other sports media should be taking note. We wanna know what happened in that locker room, garage area? Great stuff!

That was great. Thank you for helping us Earnhardt fans understand a little more about this.

I love these inside talks with the old crew. Thanks Jr.!!

As an insider, I really can't help but shed a tear here listening to the pain, anguish, and hard decisions that had to be made AFTER the end of the #3 cars driver. I can't even say it. Peace to all. Hopefully time soothes out all bumps.

Wow, I have no words. Just Tears, sympathy and Empathy. So real.

16:43 That's how I felt about Teresa at first, the first few years after Dale's death. Of course my feelings changed throughout the years.

Thanks for the video. Fair comments about Teresa.

It's amazing to hear such open and honest conversations podcast after podcast. Especially these stories behind the curtain of DEI. Its amazing to hear them share all the good, the bad, and the ugly with such openness.

The transparent honesty and sincerity of the content, there is no doubt that this channel is so popular with repeat daily viewers !! Wow, you guys were so very lucky to do all of this with family and very close friends !!

Having watched DEI grow to become a strong power house built around, by, and with family it was amazing to see it happen over the years. It truly was a dynasty in the making. Then to watch it fall apart in so many ways breaks my heart. Now after all of these years to see and hear about the mending of relationships brings the pieces back together. I still am grateful for the people who worked so hard to build the Earnhardt legacy, to go beyond the DEI dynasty, it is so encouraging and uplifting. You all are a pleasure to watch in the facets of your lives and the racing family that you are once more building, fostering and nurturing is a magnificent work of love to behold. I tip my hat to you all for not letting bad times and rough words define your careers and lives. I applaud you for the direction that I see you are going and the work that you are continuing. You've picked up your lessons and are writing new chapters in your life. Bless you all. God bless you all

I still hope that Jr can buy the rest of DEI at some point and incorporate it into JRM

Eury Jr's Dale Jr impersonation is great

Another great interview by Dale Jr. and Mike.

Had that 51% happened.... What a legacy that would have gotten to!!

Tony Jr's impression of Waltrip was spot on

Just plain WOW!!!!! Love the Earnhardt's and. Eurys,

I remember being in Jr’s teamspeak the day Theresa said that he needed to figure out if he wanted to be a rock star or a race car driver. Another young and successful Cup driver entered the chat and when he learned what she had said, I can’t describe the mood. It was a feeling that everything was about to blow up with DEI. I don’t think Jr had even heard the news just yet. Was very somber and sad with so much uncertainty about how it was all about to play out.

That 51 percent deal is the most Dale Earnhardt Sr move Dale Jr has ever made and I respect the hell out of him for that!

You guys do such a great job and hearing the stories is just really cool.

Fantastic discussion of the events. Thank you!

Jr has & will continue to surpass his father in many many areas ..... just not behind a steering wheel. Much respect to Dale Jr for who he has become 👍🏼👍🏼

I was a casual NASCAR fan at best, probably not even that. But man I really enjoy this podcast and hearing these stories.

Thanks for airing this segment, really explains what was going on in the family and how you guys all handled the loss.

I feel it is truly ashamed that Dale Jr and rest of his family had to sit back and watch what Dale Sr had built crumble to the ground…

Thank you for putting all these events in context! 🤯

I can’t believe this, I was literally at that Pocono race! My lte wife was a huge Waltrip fan and we remember him getting the pole and leading a ton of laps.. he was waaaayyy ahead of everyone at the beginning of that race. Crazy story and awesome!!

I agree that was the best interview I heard yet Evan though there all great this one I liked. More power to you guys.

I'ts really great that you guys can share this kind of information with the fans. Very interesting, Thanks

This was Family. The reason Tony Eury Jr. Could speak so candidly here is because Tony Eury Senior is Dale Jr's Uncle And Tony Jr's Cousin. For people that watched this but didn't know.

I love how Tony put this into perspective. Much appreciated. Nice to hear pretty much the whole story on this. And much love and respect to these 3 guy's. As a fan of Sr and Jr, cause us Sr fan's needed Jr when he passed, thank you for giving us fan's a little insight to the behind the scenes so to speak. And I loved hearing Tony talking about the springs too 😂😂 gotta respect the man for not wantin to give up the secret he figured out 🤘🤘

Wow..this is the best download so far. As a fan who loves Sr and Jr this put a lot of things into perspective for me. Ty

Thanks for posting Guy's - very interesting conversation

Awesome interview Awesome podcast.I love the genuiness of the conversation.

This podcast is the BEST one you have ever done! LOVE IT

Great interview! Reinforces Jr.’s stature for me for sure!!

That was a great insightful video of DEI history. I do remember following those years as they evolved. That answered some thoughts I had of what happened. Thank you for sharing! 👍👍

I love these podcasts. Thanks!

This is one of the best. Thanks!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH For this podcast. I love Dale Sr. R.I.P & Will always love you Jr. And thanks to this podcast won't ever bad mouth Teresa Earnhardt. GOD BLESS HER

Fantastic. Great job guys. 💯💪🤟

These are the greatest story's ever,thank ya'll
