I'm grateful to the Earnhardt family for sharing these stories. I know it can be tough, but as fans, we truly value hearing them. Thank you!
Yes it is great 👍
I'm sure some people in the family feel the same actually. You hear them talk when there's family in the hot seat on the podcast, and you regularly hear "I didn't know that" and "I had know idea." So some of this stuff is just getting around the family for the first time as well. I find that fascinating, and yes, I am grateful that they are sharing this stuff with the rest of us. While most of it is tame and perhaps just unknown information, a few things here and there are sort of "skeletons in the closet" type things, and don't always paint everyone in a nice light, but Dale Jr. has really helped everyone be OK with that over time with the podcast. Good stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes we do!! I have seen several movies or documentaries about Dale. And I am loving the memories you are sharing. “Becoming Earnhardt “ is great! We can’t thank you enough!
If they're anything like me, they love talking about Dale like I love talking about my own daughter who was killed in a car accident 9 yrs, 1 month and 19 days ago. I'm sure Dale Jr & Kelley probably know exactly how many days it's been that their daddy's been gone. But they still love to talk about him and tell stories. I know I do. I talk about my daughter any chance I get. Because that's all I have now is the memories to share. I miss her more and more every day. 😔
I realize that's not who's on here now. I was just saying in general. But that applies to all of his family. I'm sure they all love talking about Dale Sr.
😥
Junior, Kelley, Kerry, Cathy and Kaye are keeping Dale's Memory/Legacy alive with memorable stuff like this
Thank you to the Earnhardt Family for giving us fans the stories of your lives. My uncle raced on dirt. I grew up listening and watching racing. My Dad loved Dale Sr.'s racing style. He was a hero to the working man. My dad was the head electrician for a Firestone Tire building company. He was deaf. My dad took me to alot of races all up n down the east coast. I became a fan of Big E then Little E. I stopped watching racing the day Dale Jr. Retired. I only watch when he runs his once a yr. Race. What Dale Jr. Does for the fans n to promote the sport we are grateful. For those of us who lost a parent too soon we grieved right there with you. I lost my momma when I was only 19yrs.old. So your fans supported you Dale Jr. N some of us understood a part of what you were going through. So we cheered for you, were sad when things got tough for you n your family. There will never be another relationship between the fans n a driver like there was with Big E n Little E. Thank you for sharing the history of Racing n of your wonderful family.
This is so cool! A peek behind the scenes of a NASCAR legend and his family. Makes you realize he was just as normal as everyone else. But then again we all knew that about Dale Sr. that is why we all loved him. He was one of us.
It can be a bit unnerving at times, when you had a dad that was just like Dale Sr. in most ways. I'm the same age as Jr., and aside from the racing and fame, with the stories and feelings he's covered, we could have swapped dads or childhoods, and there would have been little difference. I can't count the number of times I've said "wow" or say there with my mouth wide open in shock because "that's my dad down to the dotted i and crossed t." Then trying to wrap my head around inserting that life into racing and eventually celebrity status is just mind blowing. Like you said, "one of us." How do you imagine your normal life in that situation?🤷🏻♂️🤯 Wow.
I love it when these 2 are on the show. I also saw them in a video chatting with Kerry that was real good.
Becoming Earnhardt is awesome! It has easily become the podcast I'm waiting for the most each week. Thanks Dale Jr and the rest of the folks involved for giving me something to look forward to on Wednesdays!
its easy to "become earnhardt" when he ignored his own son and another MAN had to raise him.
God bless you, Cathy & Kaye!!..🙂
I am so very glad that Dale Jr is allowing family to be on his pod cast. I first saw Dale Earnhardt Sr race on my Birthday Oct 14 at North Wilkesboro Speedway North Carolina. My mother knew Dale Sr from family reunions. She is my 2 or 3 rd cousin. So I learned about Sr early on. If I remember correctly he came in #4 place in that race. We only lived about 35 minutes from N. Wilkesboro.
it's incredible and awesome that the Earnhardt family has shared their stories. They have made the Icon human, and I am a thousand percent more of an Earnhardt family fan.
I was in the infield at Bristol that day with my Dad who leased and ran the Exxon station a few miles north of the track. I was eleven and pulling for Cale.
I love how proud even today the sisters are of their brother.. Thanx for sharing ladies.. Great stories and super great pics!!!
Can’t say Thank You enough for sharing stories of Dale Sr who was a Hero to so many of us . His life and racing career along with Jr’s have become a part of the fabric of my life . He will always be the GOAT to me
Rubbin' is Racin' I will always love Dale Sr. I have one entire wall dedicated to him. In my eyes Nascar died when we lost Dale. I grew up the daughter of a race car driver and racing is in my blood. My Dad was also one heck of a oval dirt track Champion and I lost him 4 years ago. Hat's off to my 2 favorite drivers, they both will forever live in my heart and there is nothing anyone could say or do to make me feel bad about my Dad or Dale Sr. Those to men were my hero's and will forever remain my hero's. Knowing how Nascar has changed so much for the worst, I feel if Dale Sr. were still with us today, he may have been retired by now but I am certain he would be the OWNER of Nascar in todays world. Dale Sr. had a passion, a dream and yea a hunger for Racin' and I don't think he would have allowed Nascar to become the mess it is in todays world. Dales Pictures and my dads pictures will remain on my walls forever in memory of the 2 greatest men I ever new. Great video Ladies thank you so much for sharing. :)
I truly love that story Dale Sr was my hero he was 9 years older than me
Your Coolest Episode....EVER. Awesome Stuff Dale Jr.
That was so good to see and hear! So glad Cathy and Kaye did this interview! Gave me a lump in my throat! Just awesome!
She was talking about racing hungry, Ralph raced hungry where Dale learned to race, Rubins racing I never had a problem with it,#3 always the Man ❤
First time I got see Dale Earnhardt race 1979 at Michigan international speedway. Friend that I went with said watch out for this Dale Earnhardt he's going to be a great racer and he was right.
I hope these ladies know the gratitude we have to them for sharing these stories. I hope they see some of the kind comments. Thank you ladies. It means a lot to a lot of people, and we are grateful for your time, and your feelings. ❤ God bless you.
I love hearing stories about Dale from his wonderful sisters ❤ They knew what he was like as a child and growing up to be the GOAT.
I've watched Nascar Since 99 & Been a Earnhardt Fan Since then of both Dale Sr & Dale Jr Kerry & Have watched Jeffery, I gotta say this is One Nascar Racing family I actually feel a part of & a Connection with, I even feel like I know them over the year's. Thanks for all the many stories it sure does help Dale Jr after you Retired a few Years Back Man, & this should be great hearing from your aunt's looking forward to this one also God bless Brother 🙏💪🇺🇸
I sure enjoy listening to both of these beautiful souls speaking their hearts and minds. It’s pure gold. Good medicine.
It is so great to listen and hear the love this family has for each other.
This is the first time I have seen Dale's sisters. I can just tell by looking at them they were attractive ladies in their day. Good stuff.

Racing Hungry is a GREAT way to describe Dale's driving style, his style was the reason I was a huge fan ❤
Anybody else see kelly in these two?
Yep sure do.

I loved that video. It's great after all these years. You still get emotional about your brother Dale Earnhardt's first win. Awsome. He had a drive about him only a few others have ever had. Bobby Allison and Cale Yarbourough. Had a lot of determination like Dale..

That was cool to here what dales sisters had to say about there brother in racing❤
My gosh what a family story, Thank you for sharing this.
Great series
Love the story, thanks for sharing!
Great Video. Thank You Dale Jr.
The Earnhardt's always seem so to be more than willing to share stories and memories of their memories and family...it doesn't matter if it is an interview or meeting someone on the street off camera they are genuine and willing to share what most people, especially celebrities, want to be private and u personable.. . love the stories of fans showing up at Dale's childhood home and "mawmaw" would happily answer and talk with them and I am quite certain it happened often...one webcast with kerry touring kannapolis he "kerry" unscripted ran into his aunt and she talked about how they told martha (mom) she cant just open the door to everybody like that. She was eager and proud to talk about her family. Love that genuine spirit and old time tradition
They understand how much the fans loved Dale and their family so why not
What a honor to see a sisters love for their brother not some super star just love the emotions !!
Love hear from his sisters
These have been amazing i hope you do 1980
Love these! Junebug and Kelley's Aunts are so cool have that same charming accent too! Wonderful you are capturing your history for the Fourth generation and more of Earnhardt's - funny that champagne part +on that little homemade Go Cart🎉🏁❤️ M in Miami : )
Wonderful video!!! ❤
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Amazing.
I loved this thank you
Great family🍻
Golden…. I bought a shirt from Miss Cathy in the gift shop one time and I said I think I need one size bigger and she said it’s easier to gain weight than to lose weight LOL ✔️✔️
"Aunt Kathy" is a hoot.
Awesome!👍
There's a video that Kerry did, I highly highly recommend it, about his story
those are some fun crazy old ladies good times
I was at that race dang hard seats but he personally gave me a wrangler sticker that I still have till this day stuck on a mirror in my moms house
Just have to thank Dale Jr. For doing this series. !
#3🏁🏆
Great story sad they are the only two siblings left.
I was there 🎉
slick.
👍🏻
Hilarious list. You have to be trolling us.
Racing hungry is accurate! He had to win to put food on the table. Do our drivers today race hungry......no, I do not believe so.
I love hearing these stories about Dale and i appreciate the Earnhardt family so much. I want to hear more stories about Dale
Hungry = Dirty . Call it whatever makes you feel justified. Dirty racing is dirty racing.
Ok BOOMER

Key stock.
The taste of any alcohol is nasty. Wouldn’t have mattered if it wasn’t a year old or a better quality. Don’t understand why people take that second drink.
I love hearing stories about Dale. God damn I miss that man
