The Blaneys are more legendary than folks outside of northeast Ohio and western PA will ever know, great video!

Dave Blaney . One of the nicest drivers ever on the Nascar roster. Ryan is definitely gonna be a champion one day

I'm English, I have never been to your country, and I've been following Nascar and US racing for over 30 years, and I could listen to Jnr and his guest talking about Nascar all day! I just love it.

Dave sounds like a great guy , he’s more humble than I expected and very disciplined

Seeing Dave almost lose it while talking about his father was really heartwarming.

I was so glad to see Ryan win Atlanta & he says "This is payback for 2001 Atlanta race" since his dad should have probably won that race but had a loose wheel destroy his car

I am 59 years old and can remember my parents and I going to Sharon Speedway in Hartford Ohio to watch the best modified and sprint car driver I have ever seen. Mr.Blaney was one of the nicest guys you would ever have had the opportunity to talk to. He was truly a one of a kind man. My wife and I go to the Lou Blaney memorial race every year.

Wow, you can really hear the emotion in Dave's voice when he talks about his dad.

Dave and Dale are magic in 410 wing cars

Blaney family sounds like some good people to be associated with. Much respect

Well I guess I'm biased too ... Went to High School with Dave n Dale .... Happy for their success but LOU was just the best there ever was . We were so spoiled by LOU winning for so long it seems like he should've just went on forever. I remember Dave's first night in a race car .... That's a lotta pressure when LOU is your Dad

Dave Blaney is FLAT OUT a f’ing wheelman !

I grew up watching Lou and as Dave said he was a class act in every way. The first time I met him he initiated the conversation. I was at the track (Sharon Speedway) with a friend of mine that ran a sprit and he told me who I was talking to.I think Ryan has a lot of his traits the way he interacts with his fans. I'll have to listen to the podcast. Very interesting already.

I remember Dave in the #93 Amoco Pontiac Grand Prix. Best era in racing.

Hey, there are a couple of real people left in the world. Thank you Blaneys.!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I was at the race where Bob Blaney was seriously injured in a dirt track stock car; Chevelle, as I recall. It was in Mansfield, OH; the season-ending Johnny Appleseed Race and his throttle stuck wide open on the last lap (49th?) going into turn 1. There was no fence, but a 3' high dirt berm. His car shot up and over the berm and he was launched down a very steep embankment. Seemed like 3 or 4 seconds before the car finally landed. It was terrible!!! They called the race and that was the end of the season. I can't remember the year for sure, but I believe it was either 1971 or 1972. I do not believe that he ever raced in a stock car again. As I recall, he was running in the top 3 or 4 cars at the time of the accident. Very depressing for everyone in attendance. Everyone in Ohio loved the Blaney family. Although I live in WA now, my favorite driver is Ryan Blaney. Always rooted for his dad, as well. I was so hoping that they would call the Daytona 500 the year he was leading and the race was red-flagged!!! He could have won races in better equipment!!!

I remember watching Dave race at pittsburgh motor speedway back in the mid 90’s.

I really like the way these conversations with Dale and his guests play out ,very genuine, my dad used to race Islip speedway Long Island and i have been following racing for a long time and I'm surprised that nobody came up with a show or platform like this before so you can really get to know the people that built and raced in NASCAR. I think Dale is the perfect person to do the interviews because he doesn't talk over his guests and is genuinely interested in what he's doing and keeping the history of NASCAR alive .

Dave Blaney, one very cool race car driver,and winner. Ryan is just like him,so cool.

How am i just watching this?! Lol. Tons of memories at Sharon. This Mecca boy loves you both!!

Blaneys are class acts. They lived 2 miles down the road from me.

Met dave at Syracuse 98-99 ish when he drove for Goewey.. " gotta watch the inside berm dave.. 😂" met Lou at a now defunct USNA race. Forget the track. Awesome good guys. Always been a fan.

Total class act family. Makes me proud to be an Ohioan!

I like the Blaney family Racer's! I've watched them (Dave mostly) for year's ! I hope to watch them for many more . Go getting Ryan !

And both have AWESOME nicknames "The Buckeye Bullet" Dave Blaney & "The Lowrider" Dale Blaney! And their Dad Lou was GREAT in a sprint car and a dirt modified...#10🏆🏁

Great Interview with Dave Blaney. I am a big fan of the Blaneys. I remember playing Dave and Dale basketball back in the day

Dave Blaney was always a class act! I remember back in the days in the outlaw cars. Always polite and mannered when interviewed. Racing need to get back to that!

Wow blaney's family has a long history of Racing I 💕 it

Dave Blaney was very talented. It just feels like he never got with a good team.

To hear the story about Rockingham is awesome. When it's hot everywhere it's a different kinda hot back home.

From WV. Dale was an amazing basketball player. You couldn't define him as a position player at WVU he played the entire court. Remember watching Dave drive the #10 Vivarin winged sprint at WV Motorspeedway in Mineral Wells WV. He put on one hell of show.

Dave has always been one of my favorites. It was heartbreaking the night he was so dominant in the 93 cup car at Richmond and lost a wheel on the backstretch. I just knew he was going to get his first win. I've loved nascar all my life and Dave is the only driver I ever met in person.

Dave Blaney always great to see him up in CNY at the Port.

Great show, big Blaney fan , both of them keep um comming

I so wished Dave could have won one. Incredible driver

Still have my Dave Blaney shirt I bought at Rockingham in 2003.

Hello Dale and Mike and David and Ryan great interview I always enjoyed watching David race and now I enjoy watching Ryan race Wishing everyone there well Take Care Guys

my grandpa 72 still racing going on 52 years now

Wow Dave is so straight up. I love that.

Ray was selling jewelry in Swarovsky in Town Square in Las Vegas, when who walks in with his wife? Dave. Talked about racing a little (Ray raced in go-karting and Skip Barber Formula Ford). Then, their young teenage kids came in and mom and dad Blaney introduced us ... to Ryan and his siblings.

Lou was one of best drivers in a modified that number 10 was fun to watch at Sharon Speedway and Mercer Raceway Park

I remember watching Dave drive during the early 90’s, he was always competitive for sure, but I see Ryan as a young guy with potential to dominate.

Anybody here remember the epic battles between Lou Blaney and Bob Kraus? I really miss those days.

We raced Margay in mid 80s. Had a Black widow too but that Margay was on rails. Still got my old Margay racing suit somewhere. Hard to believe I was that little. lol.

First time I ever watched Dave Blaney race was the fall race at Devils Bowl. He about kicked Sammy Swindells butt on the last lap. He was driving the Lone Star Plumbing car for Duece Terrill.

Pike County Speedway 95ish Dave was in the Vivarin car, won the race pulling the front tires off the dirt on back straight. Kinser in the Quaker State was 2nd. If my remember right.

Glad the WVU reference made it into the conversation.

Superb driver

Glad to see the Blaneys have success in racing. Hopefully his son will win a chip one day.

I pit next to Lou at Sharon racesway back in the late eighties

I am a fan of Ryan Blaney.

I hope that you stick with josh berry,I like what I seen from him so far,he’s run near the front,he’s just had some bad luck,plus he’s running tracks for the first time

I believe Lou drove the red #10 modified the many times I saw him drive. I remember them inverting the field and seeing Lou come all the way from the back on several occasions.

I love seeing fellow northeast ohioans rocking blaney merch.

I watch Dave race a few years ago in sprit car up at attica raceway park here in ohio and the car wasn't a top car but he drove that thing thew the field in 30 lap think got 10 ten that night was first time I was at track and saw him race

How do you ask a question on the ask Jr portion of the Dale Jr. Download?

Ryan Blaney sounds so much like his dad

Dale Jr is quick on the question's. 😂

we raced with lou blaney my dad knew him very well

Wonder where Tom Steele is now? That guy was CRAZY FAST! I always thought he deserved to move up.

Here's an idea for a later show, like in the NASCAR off-season..... "The Dirt Connection In NASCAR" A conversation with dirt track racers that raced, or are racing in NASCAR. Drivers like Stewart Freisen, Rico Abreu, Steve Kinser, Mario Andretti, Tony Stewart, etc.

What’s with the way dale says “advance auto parts”?

How this podcast missed using EARHARDT in the name of the show is so unfortunate. Great podcast, it could bring so many newbies to the sport of racing

My first Margay was 1969 👍

First kart was a Margay Shark...then we upgraded to a Scorpion Bug lol

I wish you would have asked him about the wreck with Chase Elliott at Daytona road course now that it's been a little while

Go JRMS

I Feel so sorry for Ryan he really wishes his grandad was still alive 🤧🤧

My dad said he watched dave blaney get the track record at red river valley speedway one day in a sprint car and the next day he lost it

I don’t know why I’m a Blaney fan. I need to order the hat. Maybe cuz he drove the 21 car. Thanks

How is there no sponsorship on those water bottles?

Hey dale do u think u will get back out at the track ever again I hope all is well with u and your family
