This show has really turned into an archive of old NASCAR days past & its been pure GOLD! Thanks Dale Jr & crew 👍. This show is a MUST listen every single show now
@@bryancurtislyles12 here ya only get parts of the weekly podcast....i usually listen to the whole show every week here..... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dale-jr-download-dirty-mo-media/id603707723
I really appreciate these episodes and the sportsmanship and sense of community. I'm a new fan, but I always enjoyed listening to the drivers and their perspective! Thank you so very much for these podcasts!!!!!!
Same here. I hadn't kept up with NASCAR for about 15 years until last March when I came across a couple clips of the interview he did with DW. Now I watch the race every weekend
Ok, here's the deal: Dale Jr is not just a legitimately competent interviewer; he's a damn good one. He asks the right questions, and digs deeper until he's satisfied with the answer, which makes for endlessly compelling personal stories on this podcast. Examples: the real story behind Ricky Rudds falling out with Dale Sr and a fascinating account of how Kyle Pettys dad forced him to work in the shop for years before he could get out on the track in his own car. Keep up the good work, Dale. Love the podcast.
You're exactly right. Dale Jr. has a unique and uncommon knack for digging deep. In fact, I'll admit that because he's so good, that Mike annoys me. Can't put my finger on it, but it can be very grating when he jumps in. Maybe lower the volume of his mic
The 2 sons, of the 2 greatest race cars drivers EVER! What a great dynamic. They are 2 of the coolest, kindest, funniest, most interesting guys you'll find. A fun and interesting conversation too. Amazing story about riding along with his dad at 193 mph!!
God bless Kyle, and all the Pettys. They've given us so much, and they've paid so dearly, yet look at how they conduct themselves. They are Carolina class, Kings sho nuff. Thanks so very much for this interview.
The loss of a child is one of the worse moments for a parent.. Instead of being angry about it they decided to make a foundation in his name so he's remember.. and can do good for others.. The whole family are amazing people..
@@badad0166 You should consider this, Richard raced back when those fire-breathing beasts called Stockcars would crippled & maybe kill you just for looking at them hard ☠️ He & ALL the other drivers had every right to be very concerned about Ms Janet racing against them on a big-very fast racetrack. Also, as I recall it was Richard (Not Kyle) that made the comment about Danica at an event in Canada. The problem with your complaint there is he spoke the honest truth concerning Ms Patrick & if the truth offends you 🤷🏻♂️ Long live The King!
You have to love NASCAR History! Thanks, Dale for doing these episodes. I remember as I was growing up and seeing that Petty Blue with STP. If I remember correctly, they only showed maybe 2-3 races on TV, Daytona I believe was one of them. Great getting to hear these stories from these Racers. Thanks, again.
Just awesome. Was never a NASCAR fan. But because of UA-cam algorithms and D Jr., and his guests with awesome stories, I finally “get” it. Great history.
I have pictures of Kyle Petty on his Dad's lap holding the 1971 Daytona 500 Trophy after the "V"ictory at the 13th Daytona 500, sitting in the #43 Petty Blue Plymouth. He was around 10 years old. Ron Grana, ARCA Driver, was my neighbor and invited me to go with his Dad Cy Grana & the B&K Hydraulics 1971 Blue Chevelle #5 "Skeeter VI" to 1971 Speedweeks at Daytona and the ARCA 300 Race. I Met Ramo Stott who was a couple cars down from us in the ARCA garage tent, who was getting some help from Richard Petty so it seemed. Richard came over to talk with Ron & Cy about their performance in the ARCA 300 & the teams qualifying for the previous year 1970 Daytona 500. That year, the Grana Team was running a 1969 Ford Torino #5 painted Blue. They did very well in that car in all of the races they entered and qualified for. Richard asked Ron, "Do you know anybody that could wire up a portable electric welder?" "Ramo's crew needs to use it on their ARCA Car." Ron looked at me and said..."Dave can!" "He's an Electrician!" I was 20 years old at the time and soon to be off to Vietnam in the U.S. Navy. Mr. Petty showed me the welder and I told him what size of wire he needed for the welder. He took off with one Ramo Stott's crew after I had found an Electrical Panel about 100 feet away attached to the cyclone wire fence of the tent garage. I showed Mr. Petty what I had found and that there was a 60Amp / 240V. Double Pole Breaker that was not being used. He smiled and said, "GREAT!" "Will that work?" I said to Mr. Petty, "If you can get me some #6 wire, I'll make it work!" "I'll be right back Dave!" After about 15 minutes, here comes Mr. Petty with a huge cable in #4 Gauge, S.O.W. 3 Conductor Cable over 150 ft. long loaded up a a Taylor Dunn Flat Bed electric truck. He was all smiles as he drove it up to where I was waiting at the electric panel. Then Mr. Petty and a couple of Ramo's Crew, started to uncoil the cable and string it over to the #7 Plymouth ARCA Car, where the welder waited to be energized. I did my part at the electric panel and then went over to finish wiring up the welder. Then Mr. Petty rode back to the electric panel and turned on the circuit breaker. He quickly returned and asked me, "Are we all set Dave?" " Yep!" "Fire it up!" On came the welder and the crew started to weld on the car. All told this took about 45 minutes. Mr. Petty thanked me with a firm handshake and a pat on my shoulder. I said, "Your Welcome Mr. Petty!" I then returned to the Grana Car and started to hand polish the rear deck lid. About 2 hours later, up walks Mr. Petty with Miss Hurst Shifters, Linda Vaughn. He introduced her to Ron, his Dad, Cy Grana and the rest of the team. I was laying low. Then Mr. Petty asks Ron & Cy if he could borrow me again. "I need Dave to escort Linda around the track and she is going to buy him lunch!" Then Mr. Petty comes over to me and introduces me to Miss Hurst. Mr. Petty was all smiles as he studied my reaction. Linda said, "Let's go Dave!" I'm hungry!" Off we went, arm in arm and the rest of the story is history. How I got the never seen photo of Kyle on his Dad's lap in the #43 Plymouth and the other pictures I had taken of Mr. Petty giving me the "V" for Victory Sign inside Victory Lane after he had won the 1971 Daytona 500, with his entire family at his side will be revealed if requested. I soon plan on sending Mr. Kyle Petty, the pictures that I had taken. I pray that he will share them with all of you someday. I will be sending the pictures to Mr Kyle Petty as soon as I can scan them onto a memory stick. This coming February 2021, it will be "50 Years" since I had the honor of helping "The King" and the Ramo Stott Crew with their welder. One last piece of ARCA History. Ramo Stott's #7 Plymouth won the ARCA 300 on February 7, 1971 that year. Ron Grana's #5 Blue 1971 Chevelle, started 22nd and finished 33rd after the radiator hose let loose and the engine blew on lap 15! Then a few days later, on Sunday, Mr. Petty won the 13th Annual Daytona 500 in his #43 Petty Blue Plymouth. I wonder if Mr. Richard Petty will remember the 20 year old kid from Farmington Hills, Michigan who hooked up his welder and then said to him latter that afternoon when he came back by the Grana garage team area, to wish us good luck in the ARCA 300 Race. I said to him, "Good Luck Mr. Petty in Sunday's Daytona 500!" The King then said to me............ "Dave, You can call me Richard!" "You've earned it!" I then replied, "Thank You Mr. Petty!" He laughed and said to me "THANK YOU!" As the King turned to walk away in the ARCA Garage Tent, I then said to him....."Hey Richard!" The King stopped and turned towards me. I held up my right hand giving him the "V" hand sign and said to him as he smiled......."V" for VICTORY IN SUNDAY"S DAYTONA 500!" The King replied as he gave me back the "V"ictory hand sign, "V" for VICTORY DAVE!"............... "I LIKE THAT!!!!!" The rest is History. Hope I did not bore anyone with my story. Today, March 19, 2020, I pray all Americans honor God, Family and Country, in all we do! I am very blessed to have had the opportunity in sharing a moment in time, of my life, with strangers who need a moment to reflect on their lives. Please remember to smile, pray and have faith in these times of uncertainty as AMERICANS who love their Country. God Bless! Dave, The Electrician
Richard Petty is the king of his sport. My hero and an honorable person. They aint no more john waynes and they will never be another richard petty Long live the 👑
Man , just love these stories. I’m 68 and have been following nascar since Fireball Roberts days . Thanks to Jr and Kyle for this one . I’m sure Kyle could go on for hours with his stories .
Yea, Ive seen and heard him tell stories a bunch, and he is just such a stand up, smart and funny guy. So is Dale, so it was fun to see the 2 sons, of the 2 greatest race cars drivers EVER!
Richard teaches Kyle how to get around Daytona by having him sit on a car cover and hold on while he goes 193 mph!!!!!??? OMFG absolutely the greatest behind the scene story I’ve ever heard!
I was there with my dad in the grandstands, near the entrance to pit road, the day that Kyle Petty won that Arca race in his white and blue Magnum. I am a huge Petty fan (still am) and was routing for Kyle the whole race. The first time that Kyle came into the pits it also looked like he almost came in too hot entering pit road. It was a surprisingly tight turn given the speeds the drivers had been running. He had a great car, but it was still an enormous challenge and blessing to enter and win his very first race. Great memories! Btw: I was probably in middle school am now in my early 50s, but still remember it well!
Jr and KP are so similar when you think about it, both had grandfathers who were racing legends, both had fathers who are NASCAR icons, both lost a family member in a tragic racing accident
@@michael61985hell winning the Daytona 500 ONCE and losing every other race is considered by most drivers to be a success. Heck, some drivers that were winless won the hearts of the fans, like J.D McDuffie, God rest his soul.
Not sure JR meant to do it but yes , this show will do more for NASCAR in the long run that any single person every has in a drivers seat. Its just freakin awesome and anyone that has this in their blood can relate to every one of these interviews... There are so many differences in drivers but yet when you listen to these and watch the expressions and the laughter you are always reminded of how the same we all are in certain ways... Friggin awesome show...
Got away from Nascar, but was a big fan at one time. Was fortunate to meet Dale Jr. at a meet and greet and he was really down to earth. Also saw Kyle at an airport and went to talk to him and get an autograph, he was also really nice. Good memories. These are great interviews!
Your show is like a NASCAR family tree and Historical archive. The I fo and memories are irreplaceable and easy to lose. These will always be around. Thanks Jr.
That was a great story! Can you even imagine what it must have been like to grow up as RP's son and know that one day you WILL get the chance to race these cars? What a great growing up experience.
It’s so gratifying to notice , that both Jr. And Kyle don’t have to depend on their Daddies coat tails, both have had great moments and experiences that defines the both of them as NASCAR legends in their own right ! Love these interviews , you all are a big plus to the racing community!
I could listen to Kyle all day long when he tells stories of the early racing days. However, this one ended way too soon. He and Jr. have so many wonderful stories and this podcast is the perfect place for them.
Absolutely fascinating!! I LOVE THESE STORIES!!! KEEP THEM COMING DALE AND MIKE!! THESE ARE PRICELESS TREASURED MEMORIES THAT BECOME TREASURED BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES FOREVER 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the stories my man... my dad blew his 383 super bee, drag racing another mopar on the streets with me(2yrs oldish ) standing in the front seat. Year 1973
Really enjoyed listening JR. and Kyle tell stories about there childhood days. And how it was growing up with there legendary fathers. Also watched Kyles interview with Kelley Earnhardt, very cool!
I really appreciate these episodes and the sportsmanship and sense of community. I'm a new fan, but I always enjoyed listening to the drivers and their perspective! Thank you so very much for these podcasts!!!!!!
Dam, really cool!! This changed my opinion of Kyle... In a positive way!! Side note, my daddy grew up in Charlotte in late 40's & the 50's and can TO THIS DAY, hear THEN see Buck Baker "testing" his car later at night around the neighborhood. My mammaw would stand on the front porch and yell at him, EVERY time he went by.. SO COOL!!!
Off topic but I took a piss with Kyle at Daytona infield during a commercial break for NBC back in 2017 in Jr's last Daytona race. NBC had the Kyle, Dale Jarrett, Krista Voda pre-race show on. I know, cool story bro.
So I was in the stands for the 93 race. Kyle was the fastest car out there.. He could pull out and pass, without help.. For some reason every pit stop he would lose spots.. I later learned his Pit Crew had been compromised by an Alcohol event earlier in the week.. Anyway I saw the 90 car on a collision course with Kyle. If he could have heard me hollering, Slow Down.. He would have surely won his First Daytona 500. Hope there's more with Kyle on NBC.
Besides the stories about your dad, this had to be the most entertaining, funny and amazing story. You just have to love the Petty family and what they have done for the sport.
That was just an enjoyable chat to listen to. Fun to listen to how things Unfolded for Kyle. Loved the ride around Daytona with KP just sitting on a car cover while RP filled him in on where to run.... Way too much fun! Thank you, Weav
Kyle petty an dale jr, r the legends of NASCAR! Shows respect& dignity & honor too their fans! Get him back lots of times! I'm a longdistsnce friend,of a friend of his in Missouri! Luve the Dale jr,podcaststs!
I like Kyle's show and I like his way of discussing topics with his guests, BUT, when the two of these guys get together, something happens. Probably not so much for Dale, but definitively for Kyle. Almost his complete guard seems to be gone and he has a charm more than usual. With Dale, the interviews are so full of color and they're fun. I'm typing as I'm listening, and the way the stories are being told, I can picture them, and IMO that is what its about. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
I've been waiting for this to come to UA-cam. I've seen some clips on other platforms. 👍 Thanks for the free entertainment. Only 113k subs? One of the underated channels on UA-cam.
So glad I stumbled across this post. When I woke up, the end of the vid was showing and the replies were intriguing… now I’m going to start from the beginning!!!
So fucking glad that Jr is doing this show. God damn did we need this. NASCAR itself has totally abandoned us fans. IMO. I’m sure Jr might disagree with me (or privately maybe not) but regardless, he’s a treasure and so is this podcast.
Best show on UA-cam , I listen to this podcast while at work and can’t wait to see the video uploaded, it’s brought back nascar in my house, I’ve always watched until a few years ago, things got stale in my opinion, but after watching these videos and listening to the podcast , my interest came back, thanks to Dirty Mo Media. Thank you guys and best of luck.
To the people that judge KP by his win record alone .... KP knows as much or more about NASCAR racing than any person alive . He has more experience in the sport than almost anyone still alive . He has more experience working on race cars than almost any active drive today ever dreamed of . KP is a national treasure ! I revere the man and share the experience of the loss of a son . He is a hero and an inspiration to me .
these are awesome! I love seeing the videos of old nascar stories. I don't know if this has been discussed before but it would be awesome to see the whole pod cast in video. Its so entertaining to watch the expressions on the faces as old stories are being told. gives you a great picture of how those stories played out when they happend!
My dad did the same thing(bought me a motorcycle)but he raced go carts, raced stock cars and my grandfather was a local legend where I grew up (in Woodbridge VA) Grandpa raced late models in the 70's...he raced against,DW,Harry Gant and some other legends in richmond and that area.
This has to be my favorite! Sometime ago it was asked; which NASCAR driver would you most like to sit down and have a beer with.... Here's my answer: Kyle and Dale Jr. I've been a fan since the 60's and you two are great!!!!
Love the Petty’s. My parents used to take us by the farm (when we’d go to Asheboro to see my Wicker side of the family). No matter who you saw, they we always inviting and polite. Kyle is great and I love hearing the stories. Would love to hear his take on the I85 bump. Or any stories about old Randolph county. My boss has a kid that does the Victory Junction camp. He says they are an excellent group, that his son really enjoys the time there and was surprised by the level of care. It is one more great thing about the Petty family.
I can relate to Kyle's first trip around Daytona. My first experience in a race car was at the 1/4 mile clay Brockville Ontario Speedway in the early- to mid-70s. I had won the local soap box derby and one of the prizes was a "lap" around the track with a driver. Pick your favourite and away you go. I ended up on the rear fender tub with a grin so big you could see it in the stands. Everyone else putted around but George Herbison looked over and saw how much fun I was having and opened it up. I don't think we did race speeds, but while everyone else was getting out of their rides, I got 2 laps sideways.
When I was 12, in June 1979, I saw Kyle drive the Haddick's Towing #66 car in the morning race at Riverside. He was 18 and it was a BIG deal! Even though he did well (4th I think), the late Tim Williamson won in the # 10 Chevy. Williamson would have been the first great NOCAL. I could listen to Dale talking to Kyle all day-Great interview, thank you Jr!!
I started watching Nascar in the 1960s. Classic cars.. More like the actual street cars than now. I had a 1970 Roadrunner and a few turns on the shocks I could lower the drivers side a few inches to make it faster around the track.
I was at that race that day. Makes me feel really old. I flew down there for the day ln L.G. Dewitts Beechcraft Baron with Johnny Oakes flying. Frank Wilson and Elsie from Rockingham Speedway and Jack Cousins.
Not gonna lie, I loved the way Richard raised Kyle with the mindset of “ respect speed cause it may not respect you back” coming from motocross so many athletes use it to sharpen their skill from Valentino Rossi to Kimi Raikkonen. And the point about knowing how to fix the car honestly is what made those older racers amazing at car setups and development, with the gen 6 car I couldn’t imagine any of the drivers being about to torque the lug nuts properly
Kyle Petty and Dale Jr. give and conduct the best interviews.
This show has really turned into an archive of old NASCAR days past & its been pure GOLD! Thanks Dale Jr & crew 👍. This show is a MUST listen every single show now
I can't believe they've only got 114k subs. This has to be one of the most underated channels on UA-cam. 👍

Kyle Petty just doesn't age - also legit one of the nicest most humble dudes in the world
I think he's been the same age since 2000
Took him 8 years to win his first race, yet to runs his mouth about other drivers! Nice guy? Not even!
@@stevesparks2001 I imagine that's what they pay him to do.

Heck, some drivers that were winless won the hearts of the fans, like J.D McDuffie, God rest his soul.
I love this, could listen to Kyle's stories all day.
Love these stories. Amazing how protected Kyle was versus todays 5 year old kids.
IM 51. AND BEEN A PETTY MAN ALL 51. KYLE PETTY IS A CLASS ACT!!! COOLEST RACE DRIVER EVER!!!
Not sure JR meant to do it but yes , this show will do more for NASCAR in the long run that any single person every has in a drivers seat. Its just freakin awesome and anyone that has this in their blood can relate to every one of these interviews...
There are so many differences in drivers but yet when you listen to these and watch the expressions and the laughter you are always reminded of how the same we all are in certain ways...
Friggin awesome show...
Got away from Nascar, but was a big fan at one time. Was fortunate to meet Dale Jr. at a meet and greet and he was really down to earth. Also saw Kyle at an airport and went to talk to him and get an autograph, he was also really nice. Good memories. These are great interviews!
I met Kyle and his dad in 79 or 80 in Howard's Department Store in Slidell Louisiana just North of New Orleans I was probably 5 & remember it well.
That was the best 17 min that I have had watching UA-cam in a while, Great show great guest great stories, keep them coming thanks.
This is probably some of the best stories yet
Your show is like a NASCAR family tree and Historical archive. The I fo and memories are irreplaceable and easy to lose. These will always be around. Thanks Jr.
That was a great story! Can you even imagine what it must have been like to grow up as RP's son and know that one day you WILL get the chance to race these cars? What a great growing up experience.
It’s so gratifying to notice , that both Jr. And Kyle don’t have to depend on their Daddies coat tails, both have had great moments and experiences that defines the both of them as NASCAR legends in their own right !
Love these interviews , you all are a big plus to the racing community!
I love listening to Kyle talk about racing. Another great episode.
Love listening to these old NASCAR stories. Thanks Jr for what you do.
This is the best podcast on the internet
Aw man, such great stuff. Kyle is another great storyteller, too. Can you imagine growing up working in the Petty Enterprise shop? What an education.
I could listen to Kyle all day long when he tells stories of the early racing days. However, this one ended way too soon. He and Jr. have so many wonderful stories and this podcast is the perfect place for them.
I could listen to hours of this. Most enjoyable interviews I've heard ever!!
Absolutely fascinating!! I LOVE THESE STORIES!!! KEEP THEM COMING DALE AND MIKE!! THESE ARE PRICELESS TREASURED MEMORIES THAT BECOME TREASURED BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES FOREVER 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the stories my man... my dad blew his 383 super bee, drag racing another mopar on the streets with me(2yrs oldish ) standing in the front seat. Year 1973
Really enjoyed listening JR. and Kyle tell stories about there childhood days. And how it was growing up with there legendary fathers. Also watched Kyles interview with Kelley Earnhardt, very cool!
I really appreciate these episodes and the sportsmanship and sense of community. I'm a new fan, but I always enjoyed listening to the drivers and their perspective! Thank you so very much for these podcasts!!!!!!
Love hearing these old stories. Keep up the good work guys
Kyle Petty is a class act. Good job Dale Jr. and crew.
That was one of those moment's, about one of those stories that I enjoyed more than I have words to say.
Dam, really cool!! This changed my opinion of Kyle... In a positive way!!
Side note, my daddy grew up in Charlotte in late 40's & the 50's and can TO THIS DAY, hear THEN see Buck Baker "testing" his car later at night around the neighborhood. My mammaw would stand on the front porch and yell at him, EVERY time he went by.. SO COOL!!!
That is a great story, so cool to have that experience. About Kyle, I left a comment a few minutes ago you might agree with.
Man there is absolutely zero ingenuity left for these drivers and pit crew chiefs anymore. Grey area is a beautiful thing.
I don’t know what it is about Kyle but you can’t help but not love this guy.
Such a likeable personally.
Off topic but I took a piss with Kyle at Daytona infield during a commercial break for NBC back in 2017 in Jr's last Daytona race. NBC had the Kyle, Dale Jarrett, Krista Voda pre-race show on. I know, cool story bro.
People forget,he sings and plays guitar,may have put out an album.not 100% on that.
the Gonz
I believe he did put one out in 1993.
@@BurnNotice2023 lol
So I was in the stands for the 93 race. Kyle was the fastest car out there.. He could pull out and pass, without help.. For some reason every pit stop he would lose spots.. I later learned his Pit Crew had been compromised by an Alcohol event earlier in the week.. Anyway I saw the 90 car on a collision course with Kyle. If he could have heard me hollering, Slow Down.. He would have surely won his First Daytona 500. Hope there's more with Kyle on NBC.
I've never been a huge Nascar fan but listening to Dale Jr. makes me want to be one...
Besides the stories about your dad, this had to be the most entertaining, funny and amazing story. You just have to love the Petty family and what they have done for the sport.
That was just an enjoyable chat to listen to. Fun to listen to how things Unfolded for Kyle. Loved the ride around Daytona with KP just sitting on a car cover while RP filled him in on where to run.... Way too much fun! Thank you, Weav
Love these stories. Dale's show has to be the best NASCAR show out there right now by far.
That was a good interview!! Never heard about how Kyle's career began and how he got into racing. Amazing story of how he started. Really enjoyed it!
I can listen to Kyle Petty stories ALL DAY LONG!
Two Great Guys Dale jr and Kyle Petty Great show Y’all
Coffee with Kyle meets DJD. How does it get any better?
Thank you Dale for this show, after you retired I stopped watching nascar, this show just made me start to have interest in racing again.
Kyle petty an dale jr, r the legends of NASCAR! Shows respect& dignity & honor too their fans! Get him back lots of times! I'm a longdistsnce friend,of a friend of his in Missouri! Luve the Dale jr,podcaststs!
Love the stories man. Keep them coming please
You guys are all good people thanks for the memories!!!
I hope to see more of Kyle's interview, he's good people.
I've met both the King and Kyle. Just fantastic. I love this interview.
That’s a pretty cool story. I remember when Kyle was getting started in Cup racing. I met him at Talladega one year.
I like Kyle's show and I like his way of discussing topics with his guests, BUT, when the two of these guys get together, something happens. Probably not so much for Dale, but definitively for Kyle. Almost his complete guard seems to be gone and he has a charm more than usual. With Dale, the interviews are so full of color and they're fun. I'm typing as I'm listening, and the way the stories are being told, I can picture them, and IMO that is what its about. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
Wow, great interview. Listening to Kyle Petty never gets old.
I've been waiting for this to come to UA-cam. I've seen some clips on other platforms. 👍 Thanks for the free entertainment. Only 113k subs? One of the underated channels on UA-cam.
Yea, spread the word.
I have always enjoyed Kyle and Richard Petty, they always exhibited class sportsmanship and amazing stories.
So glad I stumbled across this post. When I woke up, the end of the vid was showing and the replies were intriguing… now I’m going to start from the beginning!!!
I could listen to these guys talk all day long!
Love Kyle! Let’s see the rest of that interview
So fucking glad that Jr is doing this show. God damn did we need this. NASCAR itself has totally abandoned us fans. IMO. I’m sure Jr might disagree with me (or privately maybe not) but regardless, he’s a treasure and so is this podcast.
Awesome seeing two out of my three favorite drivers doing this together . If only Dale Sr could have joined them .
Love these stories with the old school drivers
Best show on UA-cam , I listen to this podcast while at work and can’t wait to see the video uploaded, it’s brought back nascar in my house, I’ve always watched until a few years ago, things got stale in my opinion, but after watching these videos and listening to the podcast , my interest came back, thanks to Dirty Mo Media. Thank you guys and best of luck.
To the people that judge KP by his win record alone .... KP knows as much or more about NASCAR racing than any person alive . He has more experience in the sport than almost anyone still alive . He has more experience working on race cars than almost any active drive today ever dreamed of . KP is a national treasure ! I revere the man and share the experience of the loss of a son . He is a hero and an inspiration to me .
Honestly this show made me a nascar fan and racing fan I was never into it b4 and I’m 23 thank dale jr
these are awesome! I love seeing the videos of old nascar stories. I don't know if this has been discussed before but it would be awesome to see the whole pod cast in video. Its so entertaining to watch the expressions on the faces as old stories are being told. gives you a great picture of how those stories played out when they happend!
This podcast is so good it attracted non racing fans like me. As a result, I have become a new fan of racing. I am a refugee from the NFL
My dad did the same thing(bought me a motorcycle)but he raced go carts, raced stock cars and my grandfather was a local legend where I grew up (in Woodbridge VA) Grandpa raced late models in the 70's...he raced against,DW,Harry Gant and some other legends in richmond and that area.
One of my favorite episodes
This has to be my favorite! Sometime ago it was asked; which NASCAR driver would you most like to sit down and have a beer with.... Here's my answer: Kyle and Dale Jr. I've been a fan since the 60's and you two are great!!!!
Great conversation! Thanks👍
Congratulations Dale Jr
Your opening segment should be called the" pace lap"!!
Man, what a beautiful memory of father and son. Holding on to roll bars on a car cover, at 193mph...
Love the Petty’s. My parents used to take us by the farm (when we’d go to Asheboro to see my Wicker side of the family). No matter who you saw, they we always inviting and polite.
Kyle is great and I love hearing the stories. Would love to hear his take on the I85 bump. Or any stories about old Randolph county.
My boss has a kid that does the Victory Junction camp. He says they are an excellent group, that his son really enjoys the time there and was surprised by the level of care. It is one more great thing about the Petty family.
loved this episode especially the story about the rescue when he broke his leg
I can relate to Kyle's first trip around Daytona. My first experience in a race car was at the 1/4 mile clay Brockville Ontario Speedway in the early- to mid-70s. I had won the local soap box derby and one of the prizes was a "lap" around the track with a driver. Pick your favourite and away you go. I ended up on the rear fender tub with a grin so big you could see it in the stands. Everyone else putted around but George Herbison looked over and saw how much fun I was having and opened it up. I don't think we did race speeds, but while everyone else was getting out of their rides, I got 2 laps sideways.
Ontario baby!
When I was 12, in June 1979, I saw Kyle drive the Haddick's Towing #66 car in the morning race at Riverside. He was 18 and it was a BIG deal! Even though he did well (4th I think), the late Tim Williamson won in the # 10 Chevy. Williamson would have been the first great NOCAL. I could listen to Dale talking to Kyle all day-Great interview, thank you Jr!!
This is amazing content. This is what got me back into Motorsport
Kyle petty is one of my favorite people. He's a good dude and good energy and outside pulling for dale sr I pulled for him too..
These two need a show for Nascar together. Both so funny and know so much back room history.
I started watching Nascar in the 1960s. Classic cars.. More like the actual street cars than now. I had a 1970 Roadrunner and a few turns on the shocks I could lower the drivers side a few inches to make it faster around the track.
Thanks for sharing this clip! Brightened up the day!
Two of my favorites KP and DE jr
6:56 “I can see drug dealer but I can’t see pharmacist” 😂😂😂
Best video I've ever seen...thank-you
Looked up to this man growing up. Still a fan.
I was at that race that day. Makes me feel really old. I flew down there for the day ln L.G. Dewitts Beechcraft Baron with Johnny Oakes flying. Frank Wilson and Elsie from Rockingham Speedway and Jack Cousins.
Love the stories, Kyle’s Uncle throwing the stop watches ! lol Richard Petty taking his kid for 193 MPH ride with no seat.These interviews are great.
Good story's all the time,keep em coming !
Cool stuff!
Not gonna lie, I loved the way Richard raised Kyle with the mindset of “ respect speed cause it may not respect you back” coming from motocross so many athletes use it to sharpen their skill from Valentino Rossi to Kimi Raikkonen. And the point about knowing how to fix the car honestly is what made those older racers amazing at car setups and development, with the gen 6 car I couldn’t imagine any of the drivers being about to torque the lug nuts properly
Dale Jr has archived the history of NASCAR in the 70s and 80s!
