i sure will Dale Sr. was still around...imagine DW and Sr. sitting around talking back in the day together... 2 Legends...

Love DW. He's a living legend. And he bridged the gap between 2 very different generations. I miss the old days of NASCAR with these wonderful personalities!

I love listening to Darrell talking about his history. I was there when he ran his first race at Talladega in the #95 Terminal Transport Trucking Car. My dad drove for that company out of Atlanta. I can remember my Dad coming in from a run that Sunday morning telling me that Terminal Transport was sponsoring a car in that race. He told me about Stevie's Grand Dad, making that happen through Texas Gas. When Darrell pulled in the garage area, me and my best friend snuck in the garage to see him.

Darrell,I'm glad u came along when you did.70s 80s & 90s were the best.Dale Sr & DW!!!!!!!!

Id love to see DW, Ken Schrader, Kyle Petty and Dale Sr on the couch taking the piss out of each other today 🤣

Waltrip and I are the same age. I’m from Evansville and followed his career all the way along. A great diver and a fun guy with a good mind and incredible to listen to.

What an excellent time with a man who has so many racing stories.

I'll give DW that, he consistently had the best paint schemes out there! The Gatorade, Bud, Mt Dew and Tide ride were the sharpest on track!

LOL ole DW needs no introduction. Gonna be a great interview. Thx for posting.

i love listening to ole DW 🤟🏻🤟🏻 got some damn good stories & always talking about something different 🤣 buddy has lived 3-4 times over 🤜🏻

I could listen to DW talk racing all day. I have all kinds of questions to ask him.especially his time at DEI. nice find.

Every sport has their historians and legendary characters and DW is the Nascar version

You gotta admire the relationships he had with other drivers. Despite their job it’s nothing personal, just business. In the end they’re still friends.

80-90's was best eras

Waltrip is right. The golden years of NASCAR was 1980-2003 in my opinion. And Waltrip raced in the majority of years I mentioned.

Big time DW fan here. Saw him at Performance Chevrolet in Durham, NC back in '88, the week before the Fall Martinsville race. Had his car there that went on to Victory Circle that weekend. I had a radio controled car with the 1988 Monte Carlo body made up to look just like his Tide Ride that he signed for me. I still have that car. My question to Darrell would be, what was your best car that you drove in a race, whether you won or not in it?

You can see the mindset of a winner there towards the end of the interview. He didnt the miss the people in the garage, didnt even care if they were there. He was focused on the car, so he could win.

Old DW can remember things real good I like hearing those old stories.

You were definitely in the golden age. It was about talent now it’s nice hair and money.

Just more one time with Earhardt and Gordon in the booth

I would love to stand beside you and say hello to all your fans.......great job Darl.....thank you..😍

I love what Aaron and the garage shop are doing to save nascar history.

Darrell was one of the guys I've rooted for since the 1970' till he retired.

That was fantastic! I love DW and miss seeing and listening to him.

loved his Western Auto car and matching helmet.

Darrell lead the charge up the mountain to reach the highest peak of stock car racing popularity. This Waltrip era of NASCAR is long gone but will never be forgotten. Thanks for an excellent interview.................................

Great update Kenny. I like everything you did there. That model company you're trying to think of may have been Model King?

The legend DW!!

I still can’t believe that he was an actor in Pixar cars as Darrel Cartrip

That was one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve ever watched. I thought at first 50 minutes was gonna be long , but it was over way too fast and left me wanting another hour.

Great interview with a great racer. All I could think about was his best/worst day of his life, Dale blocking for Michael. Michael wins Daytona, Dale dies at Daytona, Darrell is calling it on TV.

35:45 If you bug a room and nobody in the room knows it, that's trouble. But as long a one person is aware of the recording being made, as far as I remember from my learning, you're golden.

I finally got around to watching this..........so glad I did. I really enjoyed it, thanks guys.

Awesome interview... Ole DW is definitely a great story teller and a great guy too... And I love the Allison's so I know what I'll be doin half the night lol... I'll have all your videos watched and I'm subscribed and have the notifications on so I'll be waitin for the next one... Thanks guys I already love this channel

DW your an icon always. Thank you to your wife and Daughters for giving there time to us. May you have a good retirement and life after racing.

I could listen to this man talk for hours, I love DW

GOD bless DW. Great man.

Really great interview, Darrell is a NASCAR treasure lovable personality

Excellent interview sir! I’ve enjoyed your wonderful interviews as you are knowledgeable, gracious and sincere. Keep up the good job.

What a tremendous interview.

50.26 minutes interview with D.W? You lucky bastard. I miss him so much. Nascar is not the same without him

I ROCK racing cup. Ole DW.

Great stories from one of the legends of NASCAR.

I guess that's why I still watch The pipeline masters every year and never watch NASCAR anymore the thrill of victory and the Agany of defeat oh the hard way.

Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

Great to hear from good ole DW, glad I found this.

If DW had a podcast that you had to pay for... It would be the only subscription I have ever had in media/podcast/Patreon etc.... Amazing communicator

D.W. is so right,THE GOLDEN YEARS OF N.A.S.C.A.R.

What a fantastic interview!

I was so pleased to find this man who I have admired since I was a child knows the wonderful joy of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Great interview, Jaws is the man

Great interview

I was thinking to myself when listening to this interview there is only one driver today that would come close to Earnhart and Waltrip and DW answered it toward the interview.

This was not at all what I expected. I never really liked Darrell as a race car driver; I thought he was too cocky. When I saw that this video was going to be 50 minutes long, I figured I'd watch for 10 minutes or so just to see what Darrell was like these days. Instead, I watched and enjoyed the entire conversation. He remains a "confident" person, but he also very engaging. Your conversation drew out some good stories from him. Incidentally, while I was never a Darrell Waltrip fan, his chrome Western Auto paint scheme is my all-time favorite NASCAR paint job. Even with all the fancy things that they can do with computers and vinyl wraps, I still like the white, orange, black and shades of gray Western Auto paint job.

I was just 18 year old kid and went to the Poconos race. Waltrip was running the 11 car, and the spectators were booing the man? I didn't know why? Guy, next to me said, that's waltrip he's terrible, race car driver, a few more laps went by, I leaned over and said to this guy if he's so terrible how come he's winning the damn race. Looks pretty good to me. This guy was like shshsh!! Don't talk good about him you won't make it out of here alive. Halfway through the race, I went and bought a waltrip shirt. That guy leaned over again said don't talk to us anymore. That was my first Nascar race. Waltrip was one of the best.

This is pure gold, great interview!

Old DW was a good driver.

That interview flew by, very enjoyable. And he didn’t even need a second for that last question 😂

Love DW. Still only use Tide. He’s 100% right on racing now vs then. Miss it.

I love how DW always tells his stories with enthusiasm!!! Even if he has told it a hundred times!!!!!😎💪🇺🇸

Holy smokes this is great !!!!!

Love DW.

I guess my question is, did Darrell's 72 Monte Carlo come from Banjo's. I have never heard Darrell say where the 72 Monte Carlo came from. The car I am asking about is (Darrell Waltrip won his first pole of his career while driving a 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at Nashville in 1974. The Franklin TN resident ran a 101.274 mph lap over the .596 mile rack).

Thanks for the history lesson

Hate that he retired from the booth, he made the race fun.

Cool hair, Darrell!

DW please come back to broadcasting we miss seeing you and hearing those famous words boogedy boogedy let's go racing boys

He always reminds me of my father. Him sitting in that chair. Would love to meet DW some day.

He dominated in Nashville! watched him early 70s many times

My favorite one-liner by 'ole DW was the last Daytona 500 I ever attended, in '89, where he won the race strictly on fuel mileage. He didn't pit for fuel during the last scheduled stop, which put him in 1st place, and he was literally about to run out of gas during those final laps. It was a huge deal, because DW was one of a few drivers eligible to win the million dollar Unocal bonus money. I can't recall if it was right after the race, later that night, or even the next day........but some reporter asked him: "How much gas did ya really have left in that tank Darrell?"........... he looked at the reporter with a sh*t eatin' grin and said: "A million dollars worth".........LOL!!! That was priceless.

DW will you please come back we missed hearing boogedy boogedy boogedy

DW is correct. His era WAS the golden age of NASCAR.

Love get DW and Tim Brewer together

Darrell and Michael are my second cousins, remember many times being the only DW fan at a race ! But I never regretted supporting him or mikey!!

Hearing DW talk about David Pearson and Bobby Isaacs remind me of Mark Martin talking about his setups. He would willingly give them out because he felt he could still beat them. I'm sure Pearson and Isaac could out drive you, even if you knew what they were doing.

Darrell is right, parity should be left out! I say race your own ride and not something that is made to be like all others! GO RACING, but with the safety rules. He has the racing mentality!

This man is a national treasure.

BOOGADY BOOGADY BOOGADY. Cheers...

D DubYa is ThA Coolest Son Of A Gun We’ve ever seen and You’re ever going to see here on this fine beautiful earth .

1:31 Undoubtedly

Martinsville clock looks great in the corner. 👍

I could listen to DW tell stories for days

its interesting how he talks about his relation with Pearson, i agree that he was the GOAT

I sure do miss hearing DW Call the races on Fox love that man wish he would be brought back to call Races 💯💪🇺🇸

imagine if DW would have won that first race 🤣 them good folks at nascar would have never heard the end of it lmao i would love to go back to the 70s & check out some good nascar & some street racing

Love Darrell waltrip he is legendary i will always remember the day dale Earnhardt died on feb 18 2001 darrell said i just hope dales ok i guess hes alright isnt he and then they later found out that dale died suddenly

I could listen to Darrell all day

Dale wrecked me, all star race. the 17, Dale said " I got into Darrell". that means wreck. a hard hit.

Finally an interview when the host let the guest talk(granted I know it's D.W) wonderful interview and stories.

His stories are PRICELESS.

😮😮 love,,,hard work,,,racing 😊😊

He didn't change enough to lay off wrecking Davey Allison at Pocono. He didn't need to do that.

Darrell is a Fantastic story teller...great video..

I love listening to DW and his brother… but let me tell you something that’s one damn good racecar driver no doubt one of the best if not the best

I live in Newcastle Australia and when DW went around Bathurst in a V8 supercar, it would've been an eye-opening experience. Find and watch it, he's commentary of Bathurst is funny. I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

" It was against the law, but it wasn't a bad thing." 😂😂😂

This is great would love to talk racing with dw

DW has something most drivers don’t have today… charisma. But DW is on a whole different level. Of course Ned Jarrett, Buddy Baker, Neil Bonnet, Benny Parsons really excelled at commentary when they entered the booth. Driver commentary is key to a good broadcast as the data they give is extremely important. But those guys did that and showed us their personality’s. Which really makes the viewer feel like your watching a race with a good buddy. Of course Dale Jr and Jeff Burton do good together and Mike Joy (who I believe is a goat in his own right) and Clint Bowyer are good but Mike still carries the broadcast imo. I’m not saying the newer drivers don’t have it, but I think most guys would rather just keep it strictly business… unless they throw fists of course. Then you can’t forget guys like Allen Bestwick, Ken Squier(who is also a goat) and Larry McReynolds. If I missed others that’s my fault but thats all the names I could remember at the moment.

How many people like me still yelling Boogity Boogity Boogity at the start of every race bc of DW

Living Legend! 🙇‍♂️ 🙇‍♂️ 👏
