Tony Furr Has PLENTY of Cheating Stories | Dale Jr Download 

"You didn't know what you was looking at, unless you knew what you was looking at" classic line lol

Listening to old NASCAR stories is 3x more interesting and entertaining then watching a modern cup race

I love these "bending the rules" stories.

Tony Furr should be a permanent voice on this podcast. I could listen to him talk racing stories and etc all day.

I love the stories of bending the rulebook. Such a great part of the history of the sport.

"You didn't know whatcha lookin at unless you knew whatcha looking at" 😂

The transmission that Tony was referring to was made by Rankin. When you shifted into high gear, it disconnected the counter shaft inside, so the only thing rotating was the main shaft. The horsepower it freed up was 3 tenths…NASCAR immediately outlawed the transmission. It was still legal in ARCA, some guys ran it for years.

I had the privilege of my father working for Mark Martins neighbor and good friend. Back in the 90's, we would get all access pit passes, when that was still a thing. One Daytona 500, we're standing outside Marks hauler chatting. A crew member runs in, opens a cooler, and pulls out 4 shocks, we inquired why keep them on ice? The reply was, nascar tells us the required ride height, but not what temperature the shocks need to be. Always thought that was cool

"Bad-ass fast!" love Tony Furr, lol.

Man I wish you could have guys like this in today's NASCAR. The racing would be so much better.

We need more innovators like this in racing today. Great stories!

Wait for the day Chad Knaus, can come on and tell stories. Tony Furr is true classic.

i love the Dale Jr Download. I used to watch NASCAR all the time then I just stopped and haven't watched it in years, but listening to all these Dale Jr podcasts has got me back into it. Thanks Dale Forever #3

These Bending the Rules stories are always top tiered.

I love Tony Furr! He worked with us all through 2015 and I enjoyed my time with him more than anything, i mean he had SOOO MANY awesome stories! I could listen to him all day! Haven't seen him since though. Miss you bud!

I think those guys were the reason nascar was awesome back in the day. You had a collection of good ol boys who knew how to innovate.

In the mid 90s I helped a local guy race an ARCA car. At that time most of the cars had a vacuum gauge in it measuring cowl pressure. I know for a fact that a Sneaky Pete bottle was used in many qualifying laps. The driver would hide the bottle in his firesuit and when he got in he hooked the hose from it to the hose for the cowl gauge.

A damn shame Dale didn't get the chance to help Tony the next Tuesday. Much more than a shame but words won't come to describe it.

I love hearing how these teams pushed the limits. Everyone trying something and how they did it.

"You wouldn't know what you looking at unless you knew what you were looking at" Dale Earnhardt Jr 2023

I could listen to his stories all day long! He really paints a picture... Dang what professionalism Junebug to continue on with your timeline of the conversation of the parts and races after he mentions that lovely but difficult story on your Dad hopping in the car at Daytona - it's pretty amazing what your Dad was and then what you have become - two sides of a coin but both gems (he more on the racing side - you on the announcing + history side to be remembered by - both of you racers/ owners carrying on from what your Grandpops started back of your MeMaw's house shop ; ) 🏁 M in Miami

Those times (70’-early 80’s) in NASCAR were so interesting !

Tony is a great storyteller.

Crazy to think they were all running nitrous. This might just be about the absolute best talk out there about cheating things up in NASCAR. Absolutely amazing all the stuff he came up with. The fuel light was really clever. I'm sure Jr was thrilled to learn all that new stuff. Very creative to just make the NOS bottle part of the cage/support bars.

Man these stories about “innovation “ are great.

Great podcast! Back in 1999 - 2002 I worked as a CNC machinist, small mom & pop shop. We did mostly aerospace work, but a neighbor in our industrial park was a NASCAR racer. Long story short, on our night shifts, we would make parts for this guy, out of titanium, and T-6, T-7 aluminum, giving him a little extra 'edge' against his competition. It was always fun helping, and we never charged him anything, aside of a case or two of beer :)

NASCAR will never have racers like these again. That was a special time.

Ol' Tony Furr, Hendrick's forgotten Genius. Thank you Junior, for having TF on your ultra popular podcast, because this Man was all but forgotten, but not now! 😉👍

The more we can hear these "innovation" stories, the better! I just can't get enough!

NOS in NASCAR, The two have never crossed my mind. LoL

I could listen to this all day! Some narrated clips along with these stories would be awesome.🥃

Would love to hear the story of winning the Pepsi 400 with Andretti That car was so crazy dominant

I asked Dale Sr in 90 if he hit the Nitrous at Talladega and Benne his PR man said no no no and Dale just grinned!!!!

I love it!! I wish we could go back to this in NASCAR...so much more interesting!!

Cheat'n stories is one of my favorite things in racing

I could listen to that guy all day long.

bending and breaking the rules stories are the best. Tony has lots of good stories and a great voice for the podcast.

One of the best ones yet, he was GREAT

“I had a fuel cell inside of a fuel cell” -Tony Furr

These stories are PRICELESS AND HISTORICAL because there wasn't too many people who had "INNOVATIONS " AND THE SMARTS AND TENACITY TO PULL OFF BENDING RULES AND STILL BE FOUND LEGAL AFTER THE RACE!!!!!LOL 😂😂😂😂😂Keep these awesome entertaining stories coming Dale,They're PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSINGS for fans from way back in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Those individuals were BRILLIANT 👍😁🏁🏆🏁 and irreplaceable!!!! These stories bring back so many HAPPY MEMORIES!!! THANKS DALE 💞 🤗 🙏

That is one of the best episodes yet! I’d heard his name and it was always associated with cool teams but I had NO idea he was behind so much INNOVATION!

Man, as much of a fan and watcher as I am, just saw this one. What a classic! If you had a podcast that ONLY talked about the old "creative" things dude, thats all you'd need to do!

Cheating stories are the best they never get old

As he talks about his fuel cell, all I can think about is the Nascar Thunder 2003 scenario where you recreate Jerry Nadeau running out of fuel with the lead in Atlanta and you have to make the car reach the end and win.

In it’s entirety (whole) the best conversation/interview EVER, regarding your Father/Crew/you/racing. RAW, COURAGES!!

Nascar is missing guys like this!

From Metrolina to Daytona, these are great stories!

I love these old stories. 😊

That what racing is about. Knowing how to win. It's all about science

There’s no show as interesting as when you and Mike are together. Loved this content!

These stories are awesome!! I love it! 👍🏻

Idk how many guys are willing to come on and tell their stories like this but I’m here for it

Putting the nitrous bottle inside the radiator tank is brilliant. You didn't have to worry about if your bottle was warm.😆

Furr is a legend.F*cking genius.

When Nascar was a bunch of good ole boys!

What a happy video! Cows are happily munching dandelions, Chicks happily exploring the grass, Pete's happy with his work and Hillary even had a smile for missing one of Pete's jokes! Great video! One and all!

Love these episodes with Tony. Some great accounts of what really went on behind the scenes back in the day.

these are my favorite stories. Also, LOVE hearing about the innovation and the thoughts behind these ideas!

Great stories from Tony. I could only imagine the way the old boys would do the magic to win races back in the day. That's why I always watch Junior's Show . He and Mike always bring the goods !!!!!!👍

I never realize how much of an innovator he was

Priceless. Thank y'all!

What great interview, Tony should be in the Hall of Fame. What a great history.

Love to hear him talk about when NASCAR was great!

I love these old stories! They should create a category at Hall of Fame for these guy’s creative engineering

These are the best stories. So interesting to hear all this behind the scenes talk

These are my favorite stories. I could listen to all the old guys tell tales on how they were innovators. 😂

I’m going to have to watch this one five times.

That cool stuff learning about Dale Sr out side of racing! And what they did to win racing in the day! Pretty awesome! Theses are super hero of racing!

Racer to official: “That guy is cheating!” Official: “How do you know that?”….Racer: “Because I’m cheating and he’s beating me!”

I love hearing these stories

Why i love racing and pulling tractor/truck pulling. When you go explore the "Gray" areas of the rule book 😂

This is one of my favorite episodes now. ❤️

I never cheered for you but I sure do love your shows. ❤

More of this PLEASE!

The best stories are the innovative stories. It's what made nascar nascar.

This content is just great, the stories that go with year's past being told by the legends are truly grand.

Those kinds of conversations are the best! Thanks for the video 😎👍

Great interview, love the stories about bending or gray area of the rules. The older guys had it going on.

Man it don’t get no better than them old dogs and there tricks i could listen to it all day love it

I find these stories fascinating. Pulling the curtain back so we can hear how creative these guys really were and still are

Love these stories!!

This was one of the better episodes of late. Really enjoyed this

Great story , love all these innovative professor's that spent tons of hours making new things work ...

Now THAT is how innovation drives a sport forward! This was an excellent and engaging Dale Jr. Download interview. I wouldn't want to be the team not using these "tricks" while others were, but that's why every team was coming up with something in between the rules. The kind of motivated ingenuity that created exciting race performances in the history of racing, is what has made watching racing exciting over the years. Now everything is so tightly monitored, the ingenuity of these innovators has been sucked out of the sport. NASCAR needs to allow SOME areas for team mechanics to get an edge.

"It ain't cheatin, until they catch ya doing it."

The nostalgia of that thumbnail. I miss that HMS 25 car. When Joe Nemechek was in the UAW Delphi Chevy, that's when I started getting into NASCAR

One of the best interviews

If ya ain't cheatin, ya ain't trying.

I was 12 when jr won his first race in texas sitting in turn 1 11 rows up. Greatest day of my racing life--finally 22 years later i get to hop in my own racecar. Listening to these old stories brings back some of the best memories of nascar in its best time

Loved your dad I grew up in Riverside CA saw him race slot any story about Dale I love it keep up the good work.

I love these "innovation" stories so much!

Dale I had just given up on anything NASCAR. Racing to me just wasn't what it was and I tried to watch races but when a race without your dad on the track left a big hole then when you stopped I did also. Your podcasts however take me back to those good Ole days , teach me some interesting facts and I really enjoy it. Thanks so much and keep it coming.

Love watching these keep them coming

Dirty Mo killing it again with the content! Strong Work Folks!

LEGENDARY GENIUS INNOVATIONS❤

I love the drama you create it really is engaging. Keep it up!!!

Love the stories!

Fantastic "history lesson." Great interview Jr!

Hearing these old guys who are genius when it comes to getting around a rule just to get an edge is great listening

Great show! I’ve been to a few fights where a race broke out!
