I didn't realize that Justin Allgaier was so well spoken, he should really consider a post racing career doing commentating/hosting his own podcast.

What a humble guy. Both him and Dale honestly, Justin did a great job of explaining it or dumbing it down for us people that have never driven one of them cars. Great content, per usual. Thanks!

I could listen to Jr and Allgaier all day. Damn; didn't know this kid was so eloquent. Rises several points in my book.

That was a great segment. Justin did a great job explaining it for us. Appreciate that! Very Articulate and no bs.

Justin such a good spokesman for this sport! He has to be a sponsors dream. I would love to see him in the booth on Sunday's. This young man ,you can tell he loves his sport!

i hope justin has a seat in the 7 car for as long as he wants.he has made me a fan over time.which rarely ever happens. a great driver, & seems like an all round good person.i wish him & jr motorsports a great weekend.

Thanks Justin for the informative interview. Great insights as always from the DJD.

Jr you need to do a segment like this every week ,where you have a break down of the track , and also the type of package they are running on the cars

Love watching you Dale Jr. an I absolutely love Algier. I’ve had the privilege of meeting u both as well as ur dad

What an exciting year for race fans! New rules in NASCAR, and F1. Going into a season with brand new packages, new tires, wheel design, aero, everything. Watching the teams learn as the season goes on. I am freaking stoked for a great year of racing! Let's go!!!

That was great , Justin did a fantastic job describing his experience in the car . I hope the races are safe and entertaining!

I was at Atlanta and our group was so excited to see actual competitive racing.

Respect for Justin, and dale, what a legend, grew up watching you from back in the day, miss seeing you out there but I’m also really glad to see you stepping back and focusing on what is important in your life, wish the best for you and your family.

Larry Mac needs to have a cut away car on the broadcast soon like they did back in the day to show us fans how the floor of the new car looks in layers. Because it looks live a matchbox car to me.

Thanks for the informative and realistic analysis. Dale, you sure do have a way of bringing out the best in your guests.

Yesterday I watched a documentary called, something like, "The Day" about the 1992 Hooters 500, at Atlanta. It was one of the greatest NASCAR races of all time. Heck, 92' was probably one of the greatest years. So much drama, so many stories, just for one race. It was on a track that no longer exists, a 1.5 mile pure oval race track. I'd love to see another 1.5 pure, high banked oval on the schedule.

This podcast is so good. Jr FOREVER!!

These drivers are going to have a lot of fun this weekend on this track!

Should've never changed it from the old configuration in my opinion. It was unique with the short staightaways and long turns.

Great interview. So insightful. Dale I really appreciate your ability to draw out the very best in your guests. Justin was a marvelous interview and so eloquent and thoughtful. Dale you have become SO capable as a broadcaster. I think anyone who knows you as we all think we do, has the greatest respect for you. God bless you and your family, personally and professionally. You are a great leader.

Great insight from Justin. Thanks guys! ✌️

Awesome explanations Justin. I'm ready to see it, good luck tmrw

Great interview and good insight into the track and drivers. Best line ever about older drivers losing the ability of wanting to hit the wall! LMAO!!

Man I love the old nascar stories, but man I love the The logistical side of racing , and I really Love how smart Dale And Allgaier sound talking about some logistical terms we don’t hear all the time in nascar. He is probably one of my Favorite guest now . Keep up the great work guys .

One of the best races I ve seen on tv in 20 years

(Yes I am yelling this) PUT JUSTIN ALLGAIER IN THE FOX BOOTH FOR AT LEAST TWO CUP RACES!!! He brings an intelligent and knowledgeable voice as well as a relatable perspective of the cars and racing. He’s a veteran of the Cup series who has actually driven the next gen car in multiple scenarios, something NO OTHER ANALYST has done. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and have great respect for him both in and out of the car.

Just a good ol boy, born and raised. Haven’t heard Justin speak so much. Seems sharp and humble.

I think it's going to make for some great racing.

It's turning into a superspeedway with the changes that they have made. I can't wait to see the race this weekend.

Love the explanations! Great information!

I’ll be there Dale!! Look forward to some good racing & can’t wait till they update Iracing

Well I’ll listen to Justin talk about somethin like that again any day now

really enjoyed this!

Great interview!

i’m actually excited for this racing

As much insight and explanation as you could possibly get! Excellent conversation! Also, Justin Allgaier is my younger brothers DOPPELGANGER! Wow, could be his twin! ha

Great info, Thanks 👍

I’ll be there Sunday to find out. Had to check it out for myself.

Great show!!!!

I hope Justin will be successful at revealing his true potential this season. I believe he can be one of the greats.

As a lifelong Jeff Gordon fan we always cheered against and hated Earnhardt SR and Def JR but all these years after Sr died and Jr retired I have a new respect for both. Dale SR is the GOAT by far. BAR NONE. But since Jr retired we've all seen a differently side of him. A more down to earth humble Jr. His raceways show plus this podcast I've learned to love JR. He's a great commentator and I'm Def a fan of Jr now.

man what a great interview.

That sing placement behind Justin is a classic..lmao. stay safe and be well

Great episode Dale and Co, could you do an episode on when NASCAR raced at Le Mons in 1976 and could you find what's happening in 2026 please.

YES !!!!!!! Truck series was incredible

Love the space balls reference.........when you're right, you're right...and you're right!

I’d give anything to see the new cars race at old Atlanta😔

I might just watch this race in my hometown, first one in years.

Justin is just a cool dude, and what a driver. 😎😎

We need Justin in the booth on a Sunday

I hope Justin wins the championship this year

Best of luck this weekend Justin.

We'll be there!!!

Ok Justin needs to more stuff like this . Man he can talk .

Thanks 👍

Imma miss this track 😢

Always liked Justin Allgaier. You see what kind of racer and person someone is when things are going bad....the 51 car in cup series

Good video

sunday was the best cup race in a long time

More Justin please.

Things just got really interesting with little to no practice with the rain that has come through.

“When you get older you lose your reaction time” Lol tell that to Steve kinser 😜

That is Ludacris Speed! Or Madness, going 180 miles per hour while in the middle of a 180 degree is out there where the bus don't run. To everyone outside the United States that's almost 300 kilometers per hour 😳 That was a great debrief on New Atlanta

Hi Dale🏴‍☠️🔥

Justin is a cool dude!

I think 🤔 it's going to make good racing 🏁 for sure if we can get the rain to go away and stay away.

This is a good time for tire compound options!!! Ask an you shall receive. 😆 🤣

imagine if just one of trustmaster whit elastic because game controller is so hard and middle race need to setup again

@13:15 Don't worry Dale, I got the reference :P

It's hard for us older fans to watch NASCAR anymore. I loved the 1980's and 1990's.

It's a shame that Justin after all this time can't get a full time cup ride..smh

Yeah center corner speed is crucial the faster you can get through the center the faster you off speed is faster which inter increases your end of straight speed so don't worry about straight speed get corner speed and the straight will come

🤓 Me intently listening, acting like I am going to apply all this knowledge in Iracing.

I've never noticed that sign in the studio. They should have a "from the dick pit" segment on the show lol

YES

Levigation! I feel like it's going to be 2005 Lowe's motor speedway all over again

That place has always been fast

This conversation makes me want to watch a nascar race.

3 wide, 10 deep!!!

It's 1.5 miles...it's still an intermediate track. A FAST one.

i don,t when the terms changed but back in the days nascar refered to any track one mile or over as a superspeedway as they should be.

Once someone pulls up trying to pass them the thoughts of the track changes will be forgotten.

It will be interesting to see how this track will control rain water with the new porous asphalt. Of course, NASCAR has no rain tires.

This should be every week thing have him or one other come in a get ready for the next week race

Newly paved you'd think the company that did it would make it smooth and flat but yet they got it bumpy as hell and a jump at the end of turn 4. I'd not have that company pave anymore racetracks lol.

Nice / we will show up and put the real test on that track . Rev your engine 🌏

Should have kept the width, repave and banking increase fine but next race later this year don't use the Daytona package, no plates. I don't think anyone got into the 190s on sun race.

Ya know you hear alot about how NASCAR tries to make racing safer and of course the tracks and then cars are way safer than they used to be. I mean I just watched a video that shows the inside of one of the cars from the late 80's early 90's, think it was Harry Gant's car and the driver was sitting in a bucket seat from a regular car. Okay so all of that is safer but what they've done to Atlanta is to create a short Daytona/Talladega, with all the bumper to bumper 30-40 car pack stuff and of course all the wrecks that come with it. How is this improving the safety or IMO the racing? I only watch the very ends of races at Daytona and Talladega, the rest of it is just a pack of cars, bumper to bumper running around in circles with a couple of huge wrecks, then after a wreck they go right back to a slightly smaller pack. At the end it gets interesting so I watch that. I used to religiously watch nascar in case anyone who reads this wonders

With Lightning MC Queen it would be a one!

The speeds were lower than the old Atlanta speedway, IMHO it's not a super speedway any more, if the banking defines it, then Bristol is a super speedway also. Is this correct thinking?

Even with that GAINT ASS SPOILER

i always thought it was

They destroyed it . Especially with this low HP rules package . Miss seeing you running right up next to the wall Jr.

My biggest problem with the sport these days isn't just the lack of straightaway speed on corner entry.. it's the whole aero package "philosophy" since 2019. This whole idea that they need to recreate pack racing at every 1.5 mile track on the schedule, to turn the engine power down and raise downforce levels to promote side by side racing where you can practically hold it flat out from entry to exit, until the tires start really falling off. It's like watching guys running qualifying laps over and over. As someone who hasn't raced a real cup car but has put a lot of time in on sims like iRacing, this style of driving doesn't interest me AT ALL. At Daytona and Talladega, that's different. That's an entirely different beast and that's what made those tracks special, you went to them 4 times a year, that's it. Now the cup cars race more like the trucks. The whole change feels like an overreaction to the dirty air phenomenon. I'd love to see the cup cars go back to what they once were, ditch these massive spoilers, bring the power back up and lower the speed in the center back down. Make them more of a handful to drive, drive more off the right-rear, etc. Where you carry a lot of speed on entry but you need to lift and let the car roll through the center. If you watch an onboard from say 2014 and compare it to the last couple years, you'll know what I mean. Entry speeds were much higher in the past but you spent a lot more time OFF throttle during entry and center. And that transferred over to driving on the iRacing sim back in the day, since it followed whatever NASCAR did with their rules package in the real world. That style of driving was way more interesting to me, and even spectating it as a fan it was more interesting. I'm not interested in watching pack racing every single week of the schedule, I liked seeing the comers and goers on the 1.5 mile tracks in the past. Sure, cars got more strung out back then but different cars were better at different stages of the race. Some people had short run cars, others had long run cars, and that's an aspect I loved about it. Really hoping NASCAR goes back to it eventually, because as of now...I just haven't been all that interested and I haven't been tuning in on Sundays as much as I used to.

He called the tire to a T lol

I said about 2 months ago it is going to be a mini Daytona

DAYTONA NORTH !

is because is fernearnhart drive in that curve

lol, and that is where Elon got Plaid from. Massive SpaceBalls reference.

Hard to push the edge on a cup car when you can’t feel the edge coming.
