Dale Jr. and his family have emotional, initial reaction to NASCAR HOF nod | Motorsports on NBC
/ nbcsports " - Спорт
He nearly single-handedly generated a whole generation of NASCAR fans. Just like his dad did.
You can drop "nearly". Most of the fans in the stands wore red and drank Bud. None of the other young drivers at that time or at present had the ties with fans he does to this day. Do any other HMS drivers have popular podcasts? Any other drivers in general? No and no. People like Dale and want to meet/know him.
Bruh i dont drink bud but i still LOVE JR till this day. Dude was a major part of my fuckin childhood like SpongeBob, Samurai Jack, and fuckin Robin Williams. Dudes a legend and 76% of ballots voting this man in shows how much he was loved and respected
I still drink bud to this day . Jr got me into Nascar when he was with DEI , man he was fast.
Yeah, I can honestly say I would haven’t gotten into NASCAR if it wasn’t for his podcast. I have always loved racing anything and everything since I was a kid but never got into nascar but now I want to do it.
Yes sir Exactly DALE IS A CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE
i love how the 1st car his daughter picks was her grandpa's car
I am impressed. A man who adores his wife and loves his children. What a beautiful example for the world! Hugs to all of the racing family!
Thats what makes his a great man and human being. I've meet him once and love him as a person and broadcaster. But to me he only made the HOF due to his name not his stats cuz let's be honest there not really good
Dustin I agree he wasnt Harry Gant but what he does for nascar puts him in 1st class in my book
@G hrvyck 26 cup wins 2 Daytona 500 wins 2 (then) Busch series championships back to back plus all those series wins is definitely hof worthy numbers
Congrats Dal! Very deserving young man!!
@@cullertransportation people always forget what he done in the Busch series they just want to say he didn’t do enough in cup but the Daytona 500 isn’t easy to win once let alone twice ask Tony Stewart or Kyle Busch it makes me so bad people overlooks what he’s done
Shared the track with his dad and now he can share the hall of fame with his dad. He deserves it. He could’ve hung up his helmet when he lost his dad but he kept racing and kept that legacy alive.
IMHO, Dale Jr's best win was the Daytona Pepsi 400 in 2001. I worked at DIS 1996-2006 as part of the security/safety teams. I'm glad that I was there that night.
“Through all the twists and turns, you kept your foot on the gas. This Bud is for you Junior.”
That tribute can be watched a million times and will give you onion eyes every time.
What else would he do...
go out and get a *real* job
😂
Somewhere in heaven...Ralph, Dale, and Neil are having a Budweiser saying, “Go Jr!!!”
Probably at Daytona where Dale Jr won the pepsi 400
@@jimmie3times wow u won’t be there either
Bot to make anyone mad but they passed over a lot that done more for nascar than jr very did
They got to be loving it man he is humanizing he is showing people to enjoy each other's differences
@Manix Furqueron and Lee Petty and Kenny Irwin are there too
To say I miss this guy on the track is an understatement....I am happy he is happy, and I’m proud to be a fan of the Earnhardt family. He earned this.
Beautifully said. Ditto.
My old man has always been a dale and a dale jr. fan. My favorite growing up was Harvick but I got a little bit older and started liking Dale jr. too. I never disliked him by any means. Its just the time I grew up your options were basically Jeff Gordan or Dale Jr. so I ended up getting interested at a time when Harvick had the goodwrench car with the number 29. Which happened to be my sports number in school. Anyway long story short after Dale retired I started watching his show on here and started liking him as a person a lot more.
I LOVE these podcasts and I'm so happy for Jr. I think his Dad would be very proud of the racer he became but more importantly Jr. is a world class human being. I love the Earnhardt family and congrats to Jr. Even though it's a little late.
Agreed!! 🎉🎉💐🎊🎊
I cried when Kelley came out and hugged Jr. What a special moment for Jr and his family.
Kelley and Amy are such impressive individuals!
Big Sister right there every step, congratulations Dale Jr.
He wouldn't be where he is without her.
Imagine her at the helm of DEI. They would have any sponsor in the world and a wildly successful race team.
"Stop tearing up, give me a hug son" - Dale
This man has a beautiful family. He has been through so much. So happy for Jr. and everyone who is part of his team.
I have a feeling if he would have got to see his boy make the Hall of Fame we may have seen even the big bad tough Man in Black cry like a baby. I love that family.
For him to be so humble and honestly recognizing others before himself on the list ALONE qualifies for top of the list
He was Nascar for many years
@@purpracer Not as stupid as your troll comment. No room for people like you in this world.
@@purpracer Thanks for confirming my original comment. Sounds like you’re a bit jealous. 😢
Richard he does more for nascar and racing than anyone u should thank him
@@purpracer there was a reason he made it to the top. SKILL.
To see Dale Jr show his emotions on such a high reward makes me shed a tear and we all know his daddy is smiling down upon him congrats Jr well done
My eyes started to become allergic when his name was called. Great moment.
I never paid attention to him when he was racing. Since he retired, I admit he has grown on me. Jr has become an outstanding person to listen to on TV and his podcasts. His lost speedways show with Dilner is fantastic. The passion he has for the history of nascar is second to none. And his sister Kelley has been there for every step.
Dale Jr., such a classic individual! One of the best representatives for NASCAR. Humble beyond words. His dad would be so proud!!
@@purpracer you're an idiot I feel sorry for you
@@purpracer your not very bright are you I feel sorry for you and I'll pray for you
Congratulations Dale on your induction. Job well done; your a class act.
@@purpracer I saw you said that JR had no skill just daddy’s money on another comment. An old head like you we would think you would know your stuff. You obviously don’t know racing. Along with you being 50+ correcting people’s grammar that could be CHILDREN. Get a life bro.
Congratulations Dale Jr! You can see who runs the show now... His daughter knows her diecast replicas. Adorable!
I love Dale Jr, Amy, his family. Beautiful human beings, all of them. I’ve never been more excited to see someone receive this honor. Dale Jr. as a person is one of the best representatives this sport has ever had. A great moment in NASCAR.
Congrats Dale Jr. and Amy. What a well deserved honor. The legacy lives on. To watch you start out driving in #8, and to see you race with your daddy, and now this honor. WOW! Am so happy for you and Amy and family.
His dad would be so proud of him to see him come this far, We all know Dale Sr. was watching down on him with this moment
So happy for him. Literally crying. I was always such a huge Jr fan. He had so much talent just HORRIBLE luck. Such a great ambassador for the sport!
Congratulations on your induction into the greatest honor in NASCAR, we're all so proud of you. Thank you and God bless you and yours
Me and my father watched your whole career and watched every race. You and your father is the reason me and my father are the friends and men we are today. Thank you Dale.. much love
Well deserved June Bug!!!!!!! I know Dale is looking down on you saying...."that's my boy!"
♥️ Watched him grow up to be a good man . Congratulations Dale Jr .
Your daddy would be proud.
I understand he didn’t have the cup series career his dad did, but just like his dad is tied for the most championships won in the cup series, Jr. Is tied for the most championships won in the Xfinity/Busch series, and he propelled a whole new generation of Xfinity Champions as an owner as well in Martin Truex Jr. twice, Chase Elliot, William Byron, & Tyler Reddick. Dale Jr. definitely deserves this and I’m so happy he got it and now sits with his dad in NASCAR royalty.
I cried. You were still a great driver even under very adverse situations. Very deserving. You are one of the biggest ambassadors to your sport. HOF driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This brings tears to hear dales name announced and know how hard of a driver he was and everything he did, Dale huge congratulations man
Dale Junior is 100% class. He's got his priorities in line, loving his family, clearly a great dad and husband. And the willingness to show your vulnerability in front of thousands, even millions of fans is priceless. God on ya, bud.
Who else teared up after hearing Dale jr name.
we all live on affirmation dale. and you earned yours. congratulations. always a friend of mine.
Congratulations Dale on your induction. Job well done; your a class act.
congrats cousin im so happy for you you deserve it love you.
Legendary pure talent he is. Congratulations I'm so happy for this moment. Well deserved.🌟🌟🌟🌟
“Hero’s are remembered but legends never die” ..... congrats jr and you and your father share the hall of fame now
CONGRATULATIONS 🤗🙏I grew up watching your Granddaddy Ralph race at The Old Columbia Speedway in Cayce,SC and at Darlington and I watched your Daddy who's the Ultimate and I followed you too carrying on the family tradition ❤️🤗🙏You are so deserving of this special recognition and award!! May GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY AND EMPLOYEES AND FANS, NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🤗 DALE JR. YOU ARE A CLASS ACT AND A BLESSING 🙏🤗❤️
I know it's a little late but man this made my heart smile Dale Jr you are so deserving i am so proud to be your fan you are an inspiration to me and you don't even know me thank you for all you do for this sport and for all those around you also Isla is absolutely adorable
Congratulations Dale JR you deserve it and up above your dad and grandpa and the rest of your family is so proud of the man you have become !!! God bless you !!!!
I bet his dad is smiling down on him and saying something like "that's my boy"
Emotions run high, and it is well deserved by Jr. What a true spokesman of the NASCAR family. Congrats for all of your accomplishments. Your Grandad, and Dad are very proud.
Just watched this for the 1st time...congrats Dale, a great accomplishment for all the years of dedication and success in the racing business. To your family, friends and all the people who helped you along the way....CONGRATULATIONS, you're a legend!
Congratulations Jr! I am beyond thrilled for you and your family! My father was a huge Dale Sr, fan and introduced me to NASCAR at a very young age! You have always been my favorite driver and always will be! God Bless you , you deserve this as do all of your fans! There is no other driver with your fan base! Thank you for being you and being humble.
Congrats to 2021 class ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Dale Jr, Dale Sr would be proud of you
It always makes me so happy when I see Kelley and Jr. together.
Kelley is a huge reason for Dale Jr's success. They make up a great team ownership partnership.
Awesome! That gave me goose bumps Congratulations Dale Jr. You Deserve it. Hugs
Way to go Dale! You've helped so many people with your openesss and humor. People love you and with good reason.
@@purpracer so, trolling on a wholesome video makes you feel good about yourself?
@@purpracer you serious? Everyone who makes it up to that level has skill. There is a reason he won races. SKILL
@@purpracer ok so how did he win anything then? He’s way better then you will ever be, also quitting so you don’t get hurt is reasonable, unlike you.
@@purpracer attacking someone who won’t see it face to face. Wow so strong
@@TriggerVR657 just ignore trash like him
His daddy would be so proud!! I am a huge fan of yours Dale Jr. So proud of you!
Dale you and your Daddy were the reason I started watching NASCAR. Well deserved man😎😎👋
I was crying right along with Amy....And Jr..❤️
Such a class act we love you JR thanks for the yrs brother God bless you and your family.
That made me happy. Congratulations Dale Earnhardt Jr.!!!!!!!!
Thanks for everything, Dale. You earned this honor independent of your father.
Congratulations to you Dale Jr, and Amy and Little Ila your dad and Grandpa Ralph .
Being a basketball fan all of my life. Then to switched to Nascar since he's debut. All just because of him. He carried and lifted Nascar for my generation and beyond. He was a rockstar.
I don't watch much NASCAR nowadays, but I watched when you and your dad were racing. Your dad is watching very proud of you it's well deserved.
I was born in 97 so I didn’t get to watch Dale sr race but I remember being little and my daddy watching, he passed in 2003 but I still have a pic of him in the pits of 3 and with the signed/ flower covered hauler after sr passed. I grew up watching you in the 8/88, well deserved brother.
There is NO ONE more humble and deserving. Congrats JR !
His Father Is Probably Smiling Down On Him And Your Dad Is So Proud Of You Dale Jr 😊❤️ I Am So Happy For You Dale Jr
Congratulations Dale Jr. I was at Bristol both years at all the races when you won back to back. Those nights were one of the BEST times of my life. I've been a Jr. Fan since day one. I had a room full of nothing but Budweiser stuff. Wouldn't take anything for my #8 Budweiser jacket. I'm so happy for you & Amy, the girls. I know your Dad & Mamaw are smiling down. Much Love ❤️
That was an awesome moment! So glad you let us share it!!!
Once jr retired I stopped watching nascar. I couldn’t stand him going to Hendricks and I think it really put his career on a downward spiral. But I still cheered him on. Those 8 bud days were so fun to watch. DEI was great the first few years. Made Talladega my favorite race. Obviously when dale sr nascar wasn’t the same. I feel like jr carried the sport until he retired. The ratings, sponsors and attendance went so far downhill ever since. Such an amazing impact on the sport. The iverson of nascar. Well deserved!
I didn't like Jr for a long time. Then he went through his dry spell for wins and I saw how much he grew up during it and I became a big fan of him as a person when he was winning the least he ever had. I was even happier when he moved to the booth, because now I would get ţo hear the person all race long instead of short in race radio clips that were always entertaining. I appreciate him more now than ever knowing the pressure he must have constantly lived under being Dale's son. Most people would crumble under that kind of pressure. The fact he carried that torch the way he did is reason enough for him to be in the hall of fame. The fact he found success, was nicknamed the pied piper on plate tracks, and had the courage to leave the team his father started (with some funny tattoo referencing commercials to boot) are just bonus reasons for why he deserved this. I've only been to a few Nascar races, all in Phoenix. One of those races was a dominating win by Dale Jr. His car was on rails that evening.
You deserve it. You are just a genuine and humble person and a phenomenal driver. Thank you Dale Jr.
You know his dad is upstairs with a beer in his hand and that famous grin on his face saying “that’s my boy. Way to go Jr.”
Congratulations dale,wish your mom and dad was here to see this,god bless you and your family
" You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones." Jr kept digging and getting back up after falling down. Its amazing to see that the Earnhardt resilience is still paying its dues.
Dale Jr. Really is a family man who has alot of pride in his family and the great achievements he has made.👍
That's wonderful I am happy for you and your family i am glad you made it in the hall of fame for 2020-2021 congratulations dale earnhardt jr
Good for you. Your dad is smiling down on you everyday. Your good for the sport.
hes father would be proud of him if he would have been there. dale ernhardt you are truly your fathers son.
I can’t wait for the 2021 Hall of Fame!! My all time favorite NASCAR Driver is going to the Hall of Fame!
If there is one word the defines Dale jr: Honor.
So richly deserved...thanks Dale for helping heal and carry NASCAR after you lost your dad...congratulations...
What? Come on dude! His name is what got him there nothing more! Average driver nothing special! Then put micheal waltrip in there also what 5 wins 700 loses ?Ok
Congratulations Dale Jr. You sure do deserve it. God bless.
Love you Dale! You're an amazing individual! You are a great man! We don't have to "know" you on a personal level to know these things about you. You are always perfectly you, and anyone who knows you is proud and honored to say they do. You touch lives, you touch hearts, and you make an impact in this world that cannot be overstated. And that is why you are now in that technical HOF. But you have, and will always remain, in the HOF in our hearts. Love you... proud of you... and so incredibly happy for you! ❤️🙏😊
Congratulations Dale Jr. Such a great ambassador for the sport. Keep the good stuff coming
This was so great, this is the second time seeing this video, I still cried for Jr, knowing he will make the Hall of Fame, he deserves it.
Way to go JR. No one deserved it more than you. What a Class Act.
well deserved champ ! So glad I got to experience the sound at Daytona when jr took the lead nothing like it !
One of the most humble men. Very deserving...
Wow. I love Dale Jr more as a dad and I never thought I could. 🥺
Watching dale play with his kid is the best thing omg this is great
How cute was that?! Love it!
What an awesome feeling, god bless!
Freaking Awesome!!1st ballot Hall of Famer!!Congratulations!!So proud and happy for you!!!
Very happy for you and family Godbless my brother.
A true modern era legend mr dale Earnhardt jr. Congratulations on making the nascar hof. It’s been a privilege and an honor watching ur career on and off the track. God bless the Earnhardt family.
So good to see that an ty Dale for being a good man !!!
Congratulations Jr this is so cool for you. You totally deserve this great honor. I am so Happy for you. Way to Go Jr. Whaaaaa Hooooooo
So deserved you have given more to the sport then most ever will and have been an amazing racer!!!
Congratulations Dale jr you deserve it buddy thank you for all the great wins and memory's that will never fade.
I think he is one of the nicest men and decent guy in all of racing…… loved his pop very much, as we do him…. What a honor😢😢
There was no doubt in my mind! You are a winner on and the track!!
Dad is looking down so proudly at you and your Sister!
I'm a KB fan and rooted against Dale whenever he was on the track with KB, but if you're one of the 40ish people that gave this video a thumbs down you need to re-think everything you've ever done in your life. A solid HOF pic for a solid dude.
Exactly. The guy put NASCAR on his back after Sr died and kept fans in the sport
I'm one of the 70 some , he wasn't much of a cup driver, mediocre at best. Zero championships, and only fame because of his name. Truth.
@@wilpower97 youre an idiot what you said is false mediocre drivers dont win 26 times in cup 50 in nascar 2 championships or 2 daytona 500s it must be terrible for you having such a low iq
@@nascarfan8891 how many cup championships? Yeah none doofus! 26 times , lmao that's a mediocre driver dork. Top drivers win upwards to 50 or over and also a cup championship not Busch, idiot. So you just go ahead and think Jr was a "great " driver if it's what makes you feel good, truth is truth. BTW Kyle Busch has over 200 wins since you're counting across the circuit. Have a nice day.
@@wilpower97 youre an idiot you dont need a championship to be an alltime great if you think 2 500 wins and 26 cups wins is mediocre you must have an iQ in the negatives
Your the man Jr! I'm super happy for you brother!
Congrats! Hey you put excitement in racing for me and a lot of others.
No Earnhardts = no NASCAR.
Congrats to Dale and his family and esp Ila their little 👧
I love rewatching this! I miss getting to watch Dale Jr race, but love that we get to watch this podcast and the other things he does.
Saw him win two Busch races in 98 and 99 at Richmond. He owned that track. Never saw him race cup. Saw his dad a million times.
Good job Jr. I think Sr. is looking down with famous smirk and teary eyed. Telling God thats my boy. I remember going to New Hampshire Nascar races and sitting in turn 1 Dale Jr. corner. I had so much fun thanks for the memories. Stay safe
One of the. Best loved to watch him race
Did any one else tear up seeing Ila pick up srs rod ousterlund ride I actually had to walk away I really wish we could he had sr here to see his son inducted and celebrate it with his lil granddaughter he would be so proud thank you sr and jr
