My favorite Kurt Bush moment was in the 2001 Daytona 500 when Big E gave him the finger at 200 MPH ! Classic Intimidator to the last lap.

I would have paid money to have Jimmy Spencer call in during this show

Dale just took 2:28 to ask a question 😂

Dale Jr is such a great interviewer…he is so humble and so earnestly and genuinely interested in his guests

Kurt has became such a cool person now

"My head got Kyle Busch big." The award for the best quote of the year goes to...

Kurt has matured alot over the years. I'm proud of him

Kurt gave us one of the best finishes ever against Craven. Never forget it.

I used to DESPISE this guy anytime he was racing or on television... but after his comeback in the 51 car and 78 car, I have really grown to respect the man.

Always pulling for Kurt Busch. He's my driver since Jr retired. I like the man he has become and I like the things he does off the track for tv shows.

I truly like this guy. He's such a real dude. The fact that he remembers having nothing, got an understanding of what it meant to finish 7th to at least break even, and he remembers and acknowledges his own flaws from the early part of his career make him a cool cat.

Kurt has the same regret as everyone else, wishing to know then what we know now

In 2004 a friend and I were invited to the driver's meeting in Richmond, and we were just standing there in awe of what was going on as the drivers filed in. The only one who said anything to us was Kurt - he came over and talked to us for about 5 minutes until the meeting started. When the bad things began to happen with him I had trouble putting those together with the very calm and friendly guy who spent that time with us, and I'm glad he figured out how to make that character come to the front in his life.

Kurt always had the talent, but now he has his whole life going in such a good and positive direction. It's a great combo.

Always been a Kurt Busch fan. Through the good, bad and the ugly.

I'm glad I listened to this interview. I didn't like him for years. But now I respect the man. I was wrong!!

It's called maturity. Kurt has grown up and you can easily see it.

I wish I could give this more than one "thumbs up". The maturity and humility that Kurt Busch has now juxtaposed to the hotrod firebrand he was in the beginning. I *hated* him in the early 2000s, even though I enjoyed watching him. He was a perfect "egomaniac foil" for the sport. Now, he is a genuine human who competes at a high level and realizes there are consequenses to one's decisions/actions. Great interview! *edited the "maturity and maturity" to "maturity and humility" that I *meant* to type, but the beers fogged my brain. ;-)

Thank you Kurt for being open and honest. And thank you Dale Jr for this kickarse show, every episode is different and to the point. I am one happy Aussie fan.

Years ago I would have been the president of the Kurt Busch Haters Club....That was then, now he is my driver and will be until he retires. Proud of his accomplishments re-inventing himself plus he is one of the most knowledgeable and technical drivers on the race track.

I’ve been a fan of Kurts since I started watching nascar as a 3 year old through every team and every car and it’s so cool to see how much of a better person he’s become

Very glad that Kurt was given a second or third chance, he's a great driver and a good man that's not perfect just like all of us! Kyle Larson deserves the same!

This has to the biggest compliment Kurt has ever gotten

As someone on the verge of turning 40, he couldn't be more correct. Even now I try to soak up every bit of information I can get from the elderly because I believe they're the wisest people on the planet. I wish I would have paid more attention to my elders as a young man.

The interview we were all waiting on

Gets in an Indy car for first time and comes home 6th?!?! World class talent. Arguably most talented driver in garage

He matured just like Jr did.

Kurt will always go down as one of the more talented and underrated racers in NASCAR

Kurt u have became that mentor nascar so desperately needs ! Passion and aggression is a fine line ! U are also a nascar champion !

Great interview. Been watching Kurt since he was a rookie and he’s come a very long way.

His little brother needs the same kind of lesson in humility. Tonight's Darlington race proved it.

I have known of Kurt pretty much my whole life he was born and raised here in Vegas just like myself and to come on here and be a open book about his career from beginning to end with what he did and why he did it, good bad will really open up alot of kids eye's to see what wasn't the right way to be a professional athlete in whatever sport they are in.

Kurt has matured into one of the best on track and a pretty chill personality. Much respect to him .

Wow...Definitely changed my view of him now. Good for you Kurt!!!

Great interview! I got so much from Kurt on what happened in his career. He is a racing talent.

I'm so incredibly happy I got to meet Kurt in 2010. off track he is amazing to his fans

Big thanks to you dale for these in depth interviews,after following nascar for decades its so interesting to hear these stories .

Very good interview with Kurt Busch. He gave me a better perspective of his life and his struggles in coming into the series and succeeding so early. I have become a Kurt Busch fan. Thanks for bringing this side of him out so we all can see it.

So glad to see Kurt change it around, if if brother didn't win as much as he does he would be in the same position.

That explains a lot and thank you for sharing Kurt. My respect continues to grow for you and you are definitely a fighter, a winner and a leader. God bless and Happy Memorial Day. And much

Short answer is he new this was his last chance. And he took that shot and made the best of it. I think he’s been thru a lot. Has my respect tho. For sure.

Kurt, your driving always reminded me of how Dale Sr drove. Even when I didn't agree with how you handled some situations you was still a badass on the track. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did the best you could do and over time you just got better at handling everything. My hats off to you and i enjoy listening to what you have to say.

I freaking love this channel. You guys create awesome content!

Great interview Kurt has grown a lot since he came into NASCAR

I've always been a fan of you and your brother, it's been great watching your career, thanks.

What a great interview! Have more respect for Kurt now when I didn’t have much.

Love kurt so much, he doesn't get his due.

Great interview, you can really see how Kurt has matured in the sport. I’m glad for him. Some drivers don’t get those chances to move on or up as Kurt did. You can also see it in Kyle too.

Excellent interview with Kurt. He has grown a lot as a driver and a person over the years.

Been a Kurt Busch fan since the beginning! I hope they post the second part of this interview where Jr. goes back to remember times when they were on the track together (and a really funny story about how Kurt ran into Jr. that affected his place in the rookie standings...and Sr. went after Kurt on the track!). Keep it up, Kurt! Don't hit the brakes until you crash into the HOF with 4 flat tires, smoking and on fire!

After Dale died he became my favorite driver.

I couldn’t stand Kurt back in the day but I really like him now. He’s come so far from where he used to be. He’s not my favorite driver or anything but I still catch myself pulling for him to do well.

Met Kurt at Daytona back in 2014. Very personable, very nice. Not a D like a lot of other drivers with half the talent.

Awesome interview.. Kurts the man!!! Go kb1

I have met Kurt at a lot of fan opportunities and he has been cool as heck and as nice as heck as well

That is EXACTLY why Kurt became my favorite driver... But I will say, with age comes maturity (whether you like it or not, I think the same thing for his brother too, just my opinion)...

Always loved Kurt even when he did things that were cringe worthy. I saw a lot of me in him. Being a perfectionist and wanting to be the best is a lethal combo some times for others around you to deal with. Hoping for another championship for him.

Kurt is a good guy he has grown into a kind and careing person,he and his brother both are a talent that will go down in history as two of the best to ever sit in the seat of a rece car.

Great show today...much better respect for Kurt after this show.

Outstanding ,You have the best interviews

I'm not sure how ANYONE couldn't like the Kurt Busch of today. What a great inspiration and a great guy! He's proven what makes America great. NO matter how bad you've ruined your reputation, you can still fix it. It wont be overnight, but you can learn from it and change.

Love see Jimmy Spencer on Dale Jr download some time property have some great stories great episode of Dale Jr download with Kurt Busch

Gotta respect a man that will get in front of a camera and admit his imperfections...way to go outlaw

Such a Great interview. That is impressive to get your 2 Boys into professional StockCar Racers from being a MAC Tools Salesman. Wow That’s mind blowing Now look @ both of them Championship NASCAR Cup Drivers. I really hope to see Kurt Win his 2nd Championship and soon , in that 1 MONTER ENERGY Chevy so that he can focus on a chance @ his 3rd. Great career Kurt. You’ve come from Vegas Bull Ring / Craig Rd Speedway / The SpeedDrome to Cup Champion taking care of everyone you want to.

Curt you can definitely elevate a team now..when you were young you were wild,but fun to watch...now just fun ,keep going your an asset to the sport!

Kurt is a legend!

Purgatory will just be Dale Jr. trying to ask you a question

One of my favorite drivers..aggresive on the track show no fear..Am glad he changed his ways good for him..

Great interview!

this is kinda inspirational and I think think a certain driver can learn a tonne from this.

Always love to see success stories of drivers from a modest background. Does any sport have a bigger entree cost than racing? There is so much talent wasted from people that just can't afford to get on the track.

I'll miss Kurt when he retires. One of the last drivers to share the track with Earnhardt.

I love the new Kurt Busch.

Kurt Busch has been my driver since 2001.. Yea he's pissed me off so bad in the past but I'm glad I have stuck with him. He is one of coolest/best drivers on the circuit STILL to this day and years to come.

Great video always enjoy watching your video have a great night

My favorite driver. Liked him in the 97 car days til now. Dont know what I'll do or who I'm going to have as a favorite driver after he retires. Really cant get the same feeling with the newer guys. I miss Kurt, Newman, Jimmie Johnson, Kenseth, and Harvicks era and before so bad

Great interview, would love to see more in depth Of Kurt. He showed alot here, but seems that he wanted to tell more. I hope he has that chance in the future.

I see people say that they want Jimmy Spencer on this episode, but I would love to see Craven come on the episode and they just remember that 2003 Darlington race

I'm so glad Kurt has grown up and isn't the prick he was during his 97/2 days anymore.

This show is a kind of therapy for all participants. Goddamn Dale Jr. is a great interviewer. AMAZING SHOW and I have to say I don't give a sh*t about NASCAR

I myself probably would've lost my mind if I got a cup championship so young, and to do it my own way.

No matter what he is one of my favor drivers

Longer form interviews would blow this channel up even more. Right now your getting by and always will because of the talent on both sides of the mic. I just think theres way more of a audience for long form content and not just 15 min interviews

Great video!

love the Busch's

I want more Kurt

With age comes wisdom. If you're paying attention and choose to change yourself, you can become wise.

What i like about kurt is his compassion towards his brother, when his brother got wreaked, he was worried about him.

I would like to see Kurt get a chance at one more Championship

Kurt and Matt Kenseth will make for a solid team . Hopefully the two of them can get some wins this year .

Dale, get im contact with Cleetus McFarland and drive the Dale truck at the Freedom Factory!

This subject is why Kurt is my favorite active driver. Dude has matured to a class guy. Rare is a negative word. If you remember Kurt and Jerry Punch when he drove the Pennzoil Dodge? Ford?

Never liked him as a person and his little brother even less, they are very talented drivers I do give em that but I just did not care for them. Was not going to watch this but it was a few comments that got me curious, glad I did. I still root for many others before him but I give the guy a lot of respect.

Kurt just says the name "Jimmy Spenser" Dale immediately starts to squirm in his chair! I'm actually really glad Dale is that way, I think it's a big part of what makes him the best at doing this podcast, unlike the normal Media type who's sole purpose is to get that "Gotcha moment" Another job well done for The DJD Team! 💪 As for the Busch Bros, I feel like they would have both benefited greatly if the "Bodine Mom" method had been used on them 😉

I always loved and hated Kurt Busch but I have nothing but respect for him as a driver .

OUTLAW!

I will be dead honest. When Kurt won his championship, I was one of those who boo'd the monumental achievement few have done in NASCAR. I am of the NASCAR old school where a champion earned it. At that time, my opinion was he didn't earn it, but was entitled and deserved it. Not the Champions I have seen in NASCAR past. I honestly don't remember feeling so negative about a champion that way. Both of you are close to my age to and we all have as it said grown up. Today, I see Kurt and honestly am a fan of his. I hope he does well in his racing and can build to become the Champion his talent proved even back then, he can be but with the learned experience only taught by humility and maturity. That is the champion I'm will gladly support.

Kurt is an amazing racer, and I greatly respect his ability and drive. So good to see him maturing, as I met him back in the day and he was a complete ass. Good to see him come out the other side.

Let’s go racing in Darlington

This is why you stay humble no matter what.
