I remember as a kid my dad took my uncle an myself to meet dale sr for autographs. My dad an me both sr fans but my uncle was a bill elliot fan. So sr signed all our items an we turned for a picture with dale sr an when we was done dale tapped my uncle on back an asked if he wanted his shirt signed at that time dale realized it was an elliot shirt so he gave that big grin of his an signed my uncle's shirt clear across the top taking up all the space an he told my uncle when u see bill tell him he will have to sign it on the back !! We have shared that story of meeting dale sr with many people an I will always remember that

What makes Blaney a really cool guy is that he sometimes goes on Twitter asking to come join him at a local bar/restaurant near the track to have some drinks and have fun with the fans. Don't see much drivers doing something like that.

How is no one else highlighting the part in the story where an unarmed Dale Earnhardt chased down tackled and beat the hell out of an armed man. I mean we all knew he was a badass but holy shit

Dude... Dale Sr is what life’s about. That’s how a man is supposed to live life. RiP Sr

I think that Winston Cup banquet that Dale Sr had a black cast on his wrist and hand was in 1990. The story was at the time (if I remember correctly) was that he fell from a tree stand while hunting. But now Dale Jr spilled the beans and the truth is out. Awesome story :o)

If Dale broke his hand on a guys face, I'd hate to see the damage to the guys face.

That skoal bandit hat reminds me of the good ole days of racing

Just makes dale that much more of a legend.

I can't remember if it was Dale or Amy that said "No more beer for Blaney" after they had issues on the track. One of the best Nascar quotes ever 🤣🤣

My dad was the business manager for Sr's orthopedic surgeon. Sr. brought his '91 Winston Championship Trophy by the office when he came for a checkup. EVERYBODY got to pose for a picture with Dale & his trophy. 😁

Jr you have the best podcast. Loved when you and Kerry were on. This is definitely a perfect gig for you. You're a class act. Love you! Best wishes to you and your beautiful family.

Ryan is just a flat-out class act. Knowing and doing work for his Grandpa (and the rest of the family) Lou Blaney would be so proud of the young man he has become.

You've got to love Dale Jr. This podcast is compelling.

The "farm manager guy", his name was Bobby Ellenberg, my dad. His side of the story was as follows. That man was the diesel mechanic that serviced the Caterpillar front end loader. He was there at least once a month. Mr. Earnhardt and my dad totally trusted the man enough to where as I recall he had a key to the front gate, so that when he was going to be later than us leaving, he could let his self out and lock the front gate. The day of this awful incident was on a Sunday. Dale was in town but at his house (over on Lake Norman). My dad (Bobby), was at the poultry house and heard the report from the gun shot. He could tell it was close so he jumped in the truck and rode over to the power lines and seen that it was a buck that Dale had a real attachment too. (Folks I myself have seen this beautiful buck walk up to Dale in his truck and eat out of his hand) , so dad knew he (Dale) was gonna be PISSED!! Well dad calls Dale and told him what happened and Dale made a 30 minute drive in 10-15. When Dale got there he told dad that they (the poachers) would be back so they hid in the tree line and waited and sure enough about dark here they came. Climbed the fence and were walking down the power lines towards the buck when Dale told them to stop , dad said they (there was 2 when they came back) , took off running and that Dale was on that guy in no time. He (dad) said he was giving this guy a proper beat down when suddenly Dale realized it was the mechanic. Dad said when Dale did see who it actually was he went ballistic and dad told him stop you gonna kill him. ( That's when he stopped). Said Dale told him to go to the farm shop and call the game warden . Dad said he thought about it and said no your coming with me , I'm not leaving you and him alone down here. ( For a good reason). So they get up to the shop and call the game warden and the rest of the story was took place in court. As for the other guy (poacher) , he got away that day ( somewhat). Dad said he got to the woods , and dad said that fella was breaking what sounded like some awful big limbs as he was running , he had to be taking a beating himself . Said he could hear him in the distance ( oh ,unhh, just beating the crap out of himself). As a side note that mechanic came to our house 2 Sundays later to talk. ( You ask me he was just trying to save face because he took an ass whoopin) And man was that head knotted up!! As another side note he was a member of our community out in Mt.Ulla. That man brought a lot of shame to his family. That was a hot topic among the gossips for a while. His partner in poaching was his daughters boyfriend whom I went to school with previously. Dale Jr. You could at least call ( the farm manager guy ) by his name, his name was Bobby, remember?

Everybody has there Dale story but my dads truck broke down and he pulled off the side of the road assuming it was near Dales property and got stuck. Dale just happened to be out in a tractor and helped pull him out. Funniest part is my dad didn’t realize it was Dale until after he was gone and the service tech that came out to help told my dad. Said he was nice and joked about him getting stuck in the one spot that there happened to be mud on a sunny day!

You an your dad were class acts truly enjoyed NASCAR when you an your dad were racing good luck with your family

I love hearing story's like that and any story's about your Dad. He was not related nor did I even meet him but when he died I cried like he was family. Love the podcast Dale Jr

That was an awesome interview with Ryan. I really liked the story you shared about your Dad. Your dad chasing an armed man that is wild. Thanks for sharing Jr.

Jr. you really have nailed it with your show, I am subscribed and a daily listener. A great way to keep the Earnhardt nation going. Some people just have the personality and skills for this naturally and you really do. Great show.

Well I always knew Dale was a fearless tough man. That proves it.

Big respect for Ryan and his family. Absolutely loved watching his dad race Sprint Cars. 👍👍

The Talladega kart shirt!!! Lovin it!

I'm binge watching these... love them!

I love you Dale Jr!!!! Your the best brother!! LOVE the show man. God bless! 💯💨🏎

Broke his hand on the dudes face, Dale Earnhardt. Sumbitch was a no joke true blue collar badass...

Enough guys!! Ryan Blaney needs to win most popular driver period!!! And thanks Jr., you guys are awesome!

I was born and raised in Bristol, Tn. Have many fond memories of going to the track as a kid. Some great stories I could tell about many drivers. I lived just up the Volunteer Parkway from the track.

Absolutely fantastic stuff here...this is a damn good podcast. Dale is every bit the stand up guy I’ve always heard about/expected him to be and Blaney seem like a good sport and a funny guy. It’s cool seeing these guys just kicking back, being themselves and shooting the shit.

Love that Burt&Hal Mach 1 Racing hat! Reminds me of the good old days...

11:44 youre welcome

Dale jr is the only famous person that could tell a story about going to a grocery store and I would listen to every detail like I have never listened b4.. awesome he does this radio .. it’s more enjoyable then him racing his stories are neat and he is down to earth guy

Love the stories!!

Blaneys voice has an awesome professional quality. He could commentate or do voice overs etc etc.

Love this channel!

Great audio today. Thanks

The part about Dale,was more interesting than the whole interview. Earnhardt was THE MAN!

Love this podcast!

Everytime I watch these they get better and better.

I’ve been a Blaney fan since I saw his first cup race. He didn’t win but he never put a wheel wrong all night on one of the toughest track.

How refreshing , unscripted real life thanks keep it up. 40 year Nascar fan Earnhardt fan

I remember mailbox baseball,that’s the type of things you do when you are young and dumb 🤣

❤❤❤ListeningTo The DJD But it is so different when I can see y'all talking and laughing,and all the expressions on y'all face,Y'all are cr88zy😂Thanks for making me laugh today❣🌞

Love the show

Love the podcasts and how many guests have stories about your dad you’ve never heard. You find the coolest people, make amends with some, and man, love Blaney. Personality similar to yours Low key but parties too. Would pick him as most popular over Chase. Loved learning about your dad through Kerry and Kelly most. Love Ask Jr too. Wish was still on regular cable instead of Peacock

He wasn’t hunting the deer, he was just keeping them because he loved to watch them 😍

I worked WITH my dad/idol starting at age 10 till 17. After that 18 to 28, I worked FOR him. All the while being his son and best friend. Hearing those mailbox adventures and egging adventures took me back. Dang he woulda kicked my behind for that stuff! RIP WHT and RDE

Nice vintage Enduro Kart tee Dale!

Sr lives forever!

11:50 is when the story starts

Wow. The legend of Earnhardt Sr. grows...

Awesome stories ! There has to be more ?

As far as Dale Sr., I say “Don’t be sad, but rather happy that he lived.” Its hard for all of us since when I first started watching racing, knowing that this is the 20th Anniversary of his passing, oh, and before I forget, I encourage people that either have no. 3 or no. 8 hats, bring them outta the attic, and, “Let’s Do It For Dale Sr.!”

mr. Earnhardt jr. I really enjoy these videos thank you so much for putting them up here on KZfaq I really enjoy it I wish they would be a little longer sometimes but like I said they're awesome videos and I really enjoy watching these I get a lot of laughs I really miss what Nascar used to be back in the 80s early 90s I really miss it I really miss your dad too

"definitely not, no, never.... Give me a number"...😂😂😂😂😂

Love the old Harry Giant hat👍🏻👍🏻

Sr reminds me a lot of my old man. He "hunts" still, but it's mainly just to watch the birds, rabbits, deer, ect. He hasn't killed anything since around the time I was born 30 years ago.

Damn good stories

One of Ryan Blaney's best traits to me, when he wins, he doesn't do burnouts with rhe racecar. I head him say that the car doesn't belong to him. He wasn't going to abuse someone else's property. Raised old skool.

Big fan of you and your dad r.i.p😢🥺

Dale was so kool miss him.😞

I was 18 years old got a ticket for 110 MPH in a twenty five. 👀. The good news was I won the race!!!

Miss seeing ya at the track. Ever consider doing some drag racing? Or car builds? I sure would watch!!!

Hehehe, Chase KNOWS what happens when he says he wasn't invited... he's just having a little fun, that's all! lol

Love his Skoal Bandit hat!! I miss Handsome Harry 😍

Wow Dale. I also owned a 68 RS Camaro, & an 87 Chevy S-10.

Man I love Ryan Blaney

That a Skoal racing hat? Very nice throwback. Harry Gant getting represented! :D

I want that skoal bandits hat

First time I seen Dale he had a big ole handle bar mustache. Thought dang thats cool 😎

That's a hell of a Dale Earnhardt autograph 😂

This is the most I have ever heard Ryan Blaney talk.

The hat is so cool back in day Hal Needham team never sold many of them hats at the track

I miss the good old days of racing I was at the Glenn in 88 been there 10 times more an passed on to my girls

Big shout-out to Dale's early 70's enduro-kart Talladega tee! 😎 🤔...An educated guess say's that's 1975 WKA National Champion Ricky Rudd on Dale's shirt. I raced IKF Sprint Go-Karts throughout the 70's-80's & Won a National Championship myself in 85 and I've had the Honor of being the cover-shot on a couple of race shirts, so I got a warm & fuzzy feeling seeing Dale Jr wear a Go-Kart tee-shirt on his very popular podcast 😃!! As for the Buckeye Bullet's young'n, love that kid! Nascar really NEEDS Ryan to start winning more races & doing battle with Awesome Bill's boy for Wins & Championships. Maybe if that started happening on a regular basis & maybe RC's Grandkids start winning & battling with the other two on a regular basis! 😃!! Maybe, just maybe then Nascar could start looking like some semblance of their former glorious self 🙏

I have one of those original Bert & Hal hats.

LoL Dale Jr is talking about my childhood, dude I know hit a box but he didn't know it was cemented in the ground I laughed til I 🤢 puked broke him if doing that 😂😂😂😂

His dad is one of the greatest diet track racers and he's sitting with Dale fucking Jr! Your life is pretty good Ryan

Jr is soooo smoothe

Newfound respect for Dale Jr. I think I never took to him out of loyalty to Dale Sr. Sounds dumb to me now.Dale Sr's death messed up a lot of us.

Where can I find Dale Jr's hat in this episode? Couldn't find it in the JR Nation store.

I miss your Dad, he was a lot a fun

My hat found a good home, thanks Ryan. 🏁

I love Ryan Blaney ! If Truex Jr. Retires he will probably be my favorite.

I use to love watching nascar, then it was more and more rules and less racing, then changed the point system and ruined the sport as far as I'm concerned

If Dale Earnhardt can survive a crash like the one he had at dega in 96 would you pick a fight with him? I wouldnt

Damn those lolly- gaggers!

Cops racing hat is awesome!

The hat is badass Ryan

Haha I loved mailbox baseball!

My husbands dogs ran on Dale Sr.’s farm in Moorseville one night while coon hunting. They said Dale was not a happy man 😅

Harvick and Blaney are my favorites

Ryan "the most interesting person in the world " Blaney!!!!

a.d.d. here, but where did he get that Bobby Allison T-Bird!? lol

I'm from Dublin Ireland and NASCAR need's to help us fan's that are not in the USA follow the sport More I have a few idea's.

I've heard that story before

Don't feel bad Dale junior as back in my high school myself and seversl of my baseball teammates in upper East Tennessee used to drive down the back roads of Hawkins County and see who could Chuck Budweiser and Miller lite pony beer bottles hitting mailboxes and stop sides while going along at 30 to 50 miles an hour.

"over 100?" "no, it was 93 in a 45" "that's bad" what a setup

Dale do DEI 21st anniversary of cup series bring your old DEI team mates Steve Park Mike Waltrip Kenny Wallace John Andretti Jeff Green Jason Keller Martin Truex Jr. Paul Menard Aric Almirola Mark Martin and Regan Smith on podcast.

The Burt and Hal's Skoal Bandit hat has made me a Ryan Blaney fan. Any kid today that shows respect for Harry Gant and that era, deserves respect himself.

Haven't had a ticket in x amount of years. 🤔 They just pull them over and get an autograph,selfie,and a good story.
