Howabouthetruth that’s awesome. I used to do the drivers different accents when my dad would rent a house for family vacations after we were older and I realized Ward barely moved his lips when he talked and was almost like a ventriloquist. (Thanks spellcheck)

@@rslattery3 LOL........cheers.

yes I do remember that. I thought it was funny as as hell.

I remembered something to that affect. I think I have misquoted it and said something like "Jeff was born in the north end of the house" lol I used to try to imitate "Ward Burton driver of the MBNA Pontiac"

@@howabouthetruth2157 funny thing is I had an old VHS about NASCAR (don't even remember what it was, probably 25 years ago when I last watched it as a kid) and they had Jeff Burton on there talking about the "Winston Racing Series" and he sounded much closer to Ward than he does now (or 20 years ago). *** Just realized this is coming from my daughters account.

How about jeb afterwards

You’d have to get a translator... I can never decipher what that guy says..

@@joshuapittman4663 or subtitles right!?

@@larrypierson9732 I’m not entirely sure if you could have someone subtitle that. You’d probably need Ward to speak and Jeff to translate.

Yes, also about the Bristol race were Dale Jr ran Ward Burton into the wall and Ward waited for Dale Jr to go by threw his racing gloves at Dale Jr's window net as Dale Jr was going by on the caution lap!!

wafflenutz savage comment! 🤣🤣🤣

With subtitles. We make fun of him but it’s with love. He’s a good dude.

I was always a big Ward Burton fan. I remember watching his first Busch win and asking my dad what the hell he said in Victory Lane

@@soylentgreen7074 Ward's awesome, I think the world of him. Super nice guy. My Dad met him at Richmond in '02. Always pulled for him as an underdog.

I love hearing Ward Burton kick knowledge about anything. It’s just a treat to hear him speak. That’s a real 1 right there. 22 CATERPILLAR 🐛 looked so good with him driving it. Really thought he’d Win a couple more races in that thing.

ya I miss his interviews as well........

No Bull contests were my favorite as a kid because they'd paint the spoilers and bottom front bumper skirts bright orange, it looked fast haha

First time I heard that conversation I couldn't stop laughing for like an hour

Thomas yeah it’s pretty funny.

Go see that f***ing guy over there

nascarfan88ta f***ing guy, that’s all one word?

Oh Hell yeah ❗ John Boy and Billy! Them's was Good Times. It made driving on I~4 in Orlando every morning bearable. Hell! I won a pair of Georgia Boots one morning. They put me on the air and I had a pleasant talk with Jackie!

Steve Howard agreed Jrs passion for racing shows much more on these platforms than in a car on a track.

I live one town over from where Ward and Jeff grew up and a lot of people around here talk like Ward way more than Jeff. Lol. The sign welcoming you to the little town they are from says 'Welcome to South Boston. Home of Ward Burton!'

Earl Beville Me to Earl,back in the day I got plastered with Coo Coo Sterlings dad talking raceing &all kind of stuff I sincerely cherish his autograph-but it was after Sterling’s back to back wins at Daytona in 95 when I was a contractor at Saturn auto motive plant in Columbia TN...

I would say he's gotten a call from this show, might of passed.

That has nothing to do with commentating a race

Jeff is the only one who won a title on a short track in late model and he also won a lot more races than Ward in late model as well. Record books at South Boston and Orange County reflect that. Jeff also actually for a long time ( and still might ) held record at Orange County for youngest late model champion in track history. He was 21 I think.

Wood Bruthas Yup. I love listening to Ward Burton. OG

Jerry Tame You’re right but I agree with him about Wars on the part that I love hearing Ward kick knowledge. Sounds like a bayou boy but aren’t they from Virginia?

@@CSDonohue11 Ward still lives here in South Boston.

Robert Slattery, he's brilliant. Just asks a simple question and sits back, lets the guest speak. Most talk show hosts are too fond of their own voices and ideas.

Gordon does give that vibe, but I know people who have met or raced against him. Who said he actually super nice and loved to talk about racing. Me being a Earnhardt Sr fan. I wanted him to be a prick lol

Well, Gordon was better than most. lolz

I remember him throwing his heel protectors at Jr. I thought it was hilarious. Then came the interview and it was even funnier. Good ole Ward was a character. We don't have those types anymore. Clint Bowyer tries too hard and is a little cringe imo.

@@daviclar867 Jeff has more wins but half of Jeff's career was when it got rejuvenated at RCR. Jeff has some Southern 500s, but Ward has the Daytona 500.

AlexMacIsKING Jeff led al the laps at New Hampshire; finished 3rd in points in 2000 with Roush

@@chaselewis100 Jeff had 15 of his 21 Cup wins and ranked in the Top 5 in points for four straight years during his tenure at Roush Fenway Racing; 4th in 1997, 5th in 1998 and 1999, and 3rd in 2000.

@@Alex_Mac_ 15 wins came from Roush, the other 6 from RCR.

17/21 were roush NOT 15 and definitely not the most lmao...wow

i was right with you till you said gordon also then you lost me.

let me know when Ward wins a race and leads every single lap of said race. many 500 winners not many winners that lead every lap.

I consider them about equal honestly. Jeff did have the longer career, more wins, and had periods of time when he was a legit championship contender, but he also drove for some real strong teams especially at Roush and to a lesser extent, RCR and even had some occasional strong runs when he started out with Stavola. Ward didn't have nearly as much success but he also drove for mostly average/below average Cup teams. That he won 5 races, including a Daytona 500 and a Southern 500 and had a couple top 10 points finishes driving what was usually garbage Bill Davis Racing equipment that he propped up for a long time, and even worse when he drove the #0 in '04 and then Morgan-McClure when that team was on literal life support says a lot about his talent. I always felt if Ward had a ride equal to his brother, they would be right there with Texas Terry and Bobby Labonte, Bobby and Donnie Allison and (roll of the eyes) Outlaw and Rowdy Busch (among others) as some of the best brothers to race I the Cup Series, even if neither ended up winning a championship.

Same here and always wondered what took place inside that ambulance.

Same! I always wanted to know bcuz Burton was my driver and that incident was so out of character for him.

I do! I didn’t see it live as a kid but I always read about it. Eventually did see it.

As I was about to say Jr seems to know how to get his guests to tell him the stories that he and Mike will enjoy and that his audience will enjoy too about their history in the sport which sometimes can be the history of Nascar

I'll try to tell you a story the best I can remember hearing Jeff tell it once. Back before the lucky dog was introduced in NASCAR and they still raced back to the flag under caution it was common practice for the leader to "checkup" some going to the flag if a teammate was near so the teammate could make up a lap. I mean, if a contender was a lap down you tried to keep him there but it was really the leaders call on who he let go by. So in one of these type situations Burton was trying to get around Dale a couple of times and Earnhardt shut the door on him by driving hard back to the flag. After the race Jeff talked to Dale about it and Earnhardt gave him one of those big grins we all remember and told Jeff "now Jeff, when I'm racing I have to do what's best for me and not what's best for you. In this case keeping you a lap down was best for me". Of course Jeff understood with no hard feelings. Fate would have it that no long after that was the race that Burton led every lap. I remember very clearly that Earnhardt started bad and got an early lap down. His crew made some adjustments and suddenly it looked like Earnhardt had the second best car but he remained a lap down. There were caution flags and Earnhardt multiple times lined beside Burton to try and get the lap back and Jeff held him off each time. A few times, the caution came out out and Burton had to race hard back to the line to hold Dale off. Once after another dash to the flag, Dale let know Jeff know he was getting steamed and side swiped Jeff's car in a way that just caused cosmetic damage to his car but didn't hurt it's performance in any way. Still Jeff never let Earnhardt make his lap up and is the last driver to lead every single lap of a NASCAR race. Afterwards, it was Earnhardt who was giving Burton a hard time about not letting him around. After Dale went on for awhile finally Jeff said "Now Dale, when I'm racing I have to do what's best for me and not what is best for you'" Before Jeff got the whole sentence out Earnhardt was smiling at him. He knew his own advice had come back to bite him for once. Afterwards, Jeff said he felt like he belonged more then ever then because he had earned Earnhardt's respect which wasn't always easy to do.

Lol 😂I can see that
