I agree

I was never a big race fan. But I was on the radio in Charlotte, NC in mid thru late '90s and I got to meet Jr a couple times. I remember Smash Mouth played a show and he was there. I was there with the radio station and after the show we all went to Vinnie's on South Blvd. Dale actually did donuts in the parking lot after closing. Then a few years later I was doing morning radio in Seattle, WA in 2001. After Sr passed away I found myself defending Nascar and the drivers who were essentially being written off by a majority of our audience as just simple rednecks. Months later after Jr won the Pepsi 400 at Daytona in the All Star car he came out to Seattle for the All Star game and I got to sit and interview him. Anytime I spoke with Jr I always felt like he was intelligent and sincere. Now listening to his podcasts I know that was the case. Especially these Earnhardts. Yes they are fiery and competitive but they are super intelligent and they are visionaries. No doubt. I'm a much bigger fan of Dale as a person than I ever was of racing

Yes , Dale Jr's podcast is the best , you want to know Nascar history, there's no better way

Dale Jr is smart. He knows that North Wilkesboro is where NASCAR belongs and not garbage tracks like Texas and Kentucky

@@michael61985 i was never a jr fan while he was a driver, but now after his retirement listening to the podcast and seeing everything he has done ive become a big fan of his.

I AGREE!!!!

U got that right

Hell yes!!

This track is very legendary and it deserves to be put back on the NASCAR map, obviously “The Rock” Rockingham Speedway is not the NASCAR map with any scheduled races due to due to financial difficulties

HELL YA!

He’s testing for an upcoming late model race he’s going to be competing in at NWS

@@thrashmetaljay666 He was not joking. Good to know.

@@ethanweeter2732 Yeah, you could see him getting faster in the corners. That was very cool

One of the few good things that came out of the pandemic

Teams have been running testing and hot laps there for years

Same, which car was this

@@youfillmylifewithjello6661 late model

Makes a so called Cup Car these Days sound like a Hoover..👍

@@joshpitts7256 Haha damn right!

That sounds like the old superspeedway X-pipe sound!

I think the drivers are too.

Nashville fairgrounds track is very similar to North Wilksboro and Jr is a big supporter of that track as well.Lots of history at both tracks.

The short tracks is what separates the men from the boys. ( Well..... that, and removing the restrictor plates entirely for the super speedways, and let those mutha's fly, lol. )

I'm not a fan of Martinsville, but I like Bristol (not dirt) & Richmond, and I wish they would abandon running at Indy & run at IRP instead.

I would've liked to see a pedal cam of this

You can tell last 3 laps it was hammer down

I was not alive in 1963..

I liked how comfortable he looked at the beginning with his right hand off the wheel, then he put it back on the wheel for a full send run!!!, I bet he had a big ol smile after he was done. I sure did the whole time.

See you there!

Already see one together.

It sounds official. Hes racing late model there Aug 31.

@@kevinlesch9656 awesome

Watch his podcasts. Guarantee you'll become a fan.

How in the hell are you not a Jr fan? That's crazy, one of the coolest people you will ever meet

All but the straightaways. One is uphill the other down lol. You can't really tell when you're there watching a race though

I got tickets as soon as it was announced. I hope every race fan can make it there.

I noticed that too. That's exactly what a good Late Model should do when you mash the gas. Rotate but not slide.

He's supposed to race there in August.

Spoon feed.

Don't forget about 30-40,000 more seats to satisfy Nascars greed.

Wish they'd do the white and red walls. Old school

@@fuckcensorship69 I would not be one bit surprised if they do that. I feel like they want to keep that classic vibe

Thanks, President Biden. Build Back Better.
