I TOTALLY agree with you Dale does an excellent job breaking it down and I really appreciate his opinion and honesty! Loved the show!! Have a fantastic day!😊❤🏁
I liked it when Larson doord Ross against the wall on Lap 13 and everyone's fine with it, I dont like it when Ross disrupts the order and frustrated drivers who drive exactly or worse than he does. Hendrick should be the only one to be able to do it.
@Jayanna Kelley who says I'm being sarcastic? He's a republican Bible thumper white supremacist from Floriduh and must be destroyed by the most powerful of all, and they are the rightful leaders and champions and shouldn't be disrupted by a...climate polluting farmer. I'm just fitting in with the new Nascar crowd. Don't be a bully, or I'll report you
Ross Chastain is a talented driver,he's got fast cars damn near every week but if he continues to wreck folks, he'll never win consistently, but his competitors will make sure of it until he cleans up his style
Dale Sr, Tony Stewart, AJ Foyt, Jimmie Spencer, Robby Gordon, Ryan Newman, Tim Richmond, Bobby Allison, Cale, Kyle Busch were all or could rough no prisoners type. Now I'll take Spencer/Gordon out of equation as they had no finesse, just blunt objects who didn't win enough to get away with it. Rest all HOF or will be, they thrived on going for it but all of them learned when settling for 5th was betting then wrecking, some it took others longer.
@Alejandro Ampie they never do, Hendrick boys can manipulate outcomes to races and run drivers up the wall (lap 13 darlington) and not a peep. Disrupt the order and everything and everyone goes nuts
@@jermaineboyd6594 because truex doesn't have the pattern of wreaking others , week in and week out.. It's not that difficult to understand why Ross' actions are being heavily criticized. It's not will someone get wreaked by Ross' actions every week , but who at this point.
Chastain just punched a dude and took out Larson a week after Larson got taken out on the last lap by Denny! Exciting TIMES only halfway through this season!!!!!!
Sad thing is no one cares. Bill Jr's idiot son ruined nascar and they need go back and undo literally everything he did. Bristol needs to rip up the garbage concrete and go back to the original layout. They need to get all these stupid ass road courses off the schedule. They need to go back to a points system that isn't a joke. They need to get rid of stupid ass stage racing. Get back to racecars that look like racecars not 4 door sedans with the number next to the wheel well to they can make even bigger advertisements on the cars. It's just sad that all the actual reallife drama has been buried under all their gimmicky bs.
You can’t tell me this isn’t like the old days when one day petty was made at darrell then Earhart made at darrell then they are friends, then bodine get there and get Earnhardt mad, then Earnie shows up slamming into everyone. It’s classic nascar and it’s what’s needed for the sport.
Thank you! I feel like there are a lot of really young and new Nascar fans around here. Nascar has always lived on this type of drama, it's what we need!
@James D I mean fair. I watch Fanatec GT World Challenge and there is so much less contact, although it does happen at least twice a race. Stock car racing is a contact sport. Racing in general isn’t, but NASCAR is. They actually get drive through penalties or have to give up spots for contact in GT World Challenge I do think (as a huge Ross Chastain fan) that he could’ve done something different and still probably would’ve won. He definitely had the car and has the talent for it.
I believe you missed the whole race. Ross & Kyle restarted 3 times side by side on restarts. 1st time Ross on the inside and almost fenced Kyle & Kyle lost 3 places. 2nd restart, Kyle on the inside and Ross was repayed. Last restart Ross truly fenced Kyle and himself. They could have had a 1-2 finish. The results speak for themselves.
Dale i totally agree with everything you're talkin about 😎 I'm 61 and have been blessed to experience and be part of a few forms of racing here in Michigan Snowmobile racing ,drag racing, and short track racing and also as a fan my fair share of NASCAR, Indy car (CART), and formula 1 Ross reminds me of your dad back in is rookie year and his early years Pissing off many NASCAR Veteran's Now let's fast-forward a few decades 😎 Mark Martin and his stories about your dad😎 Jeff Gordon at Michigan in practice in a much faster race car and ray Everham told Jeff to stay away from Dale and has Jeff was passing your Dad 😎 he learned a old school lesson from your Dad😎 No different at motegi when he threw his racing shoe at You😎 I guess I'm just old school !! But overall the racing today is better than it was back then😊 Love your Show 👍 keep up the amazing history, memories, and current Racing News!!!
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 that's not true at all.. Nascar could use any driver and make them into Ross Chastain.. Trackhouse however needs Hendrick and childress to even exist in the cup series..
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 if people are talking about Nascar but their talking about it in a bad way because of Ross Chastain is he really all that good for the sport?
Exactly !! what a bunch of hypocrites. They cheered on Dale Sr. but want to throw Ross out of Nascar ! Thank God there is a driver who actually has the drive and guts to try and win and not just drive around in a circle ! Larry Mac , Burton and all those other know it alls need to back off. I think if it started to rain during a race they would blame it on Ross !
I'm a huge Larson fan, I have followed him for many years, He's the best driver in the USA. Ross Chastain is a pretty damn good driver but obviously lacks discipline. I respect hard racing and Larson will drive you hard. The difference is he won't crash you 99 percent of the time. I can say right now Larson should have 4 or 5 wins right now but other drivers don't know how to win without tapping someone.
What it all boils down to is that good drivers can pass people, they don't have to knock them out of the way. Bill France Jr let things get out of hand in the mid-80s and they've never gotten it back.
Wow Dale, that’s a serious man crush. Ross is tied with Juan Pablo Montoya with TWO wins in NASCAR. Before you throw a parade, maybe he could win a third without wrecking the field?
The difference is when Larson squeezed Chastain, both made it through 1 and 2....hard racing. When Chastain did it, he washed up, had no control, and takes out Larson and himself. Thats the difference between a professional driver, and one that just has talent. Cant wait to see HMS target that clown
if you watch closely before the big wreck, Larson on the inside of Chastain, runs Chastain into the wall while the wreck is happening. Larson bumps him a couple times early in the turn, then while the wreck starts you see Chastain hit the wall. I think that is why Chastain chose the inside, so he could do the squeezing
Yeah idk why people aren’t bringing this up. Larson poked the bear and he got the bear’s response. Im no Chastain fan and he drives like an idiot sometimes but Larson knows better than to mess with Ross.
I got roasted on a few Facebook pages Sunday night saying pretty much what you said. Larson was trying to hold Ross almost down on the apron into turn one. Thanks for being honest and saying what you feel.
I have to agree with Mike. People need to stop defending Ross and speak the truth. If it was Denny Hamlin that was driving like Ross his haters would crap on him every week. Stop with the double standards.
Chastain just has to dial his aggressive driving by twenty or thirty percent and he'd have more wins and respect in the garage. Anyone that actually watches racing can tell that he is very fast and talented. Hell, Larson had issues when he first got into the cup series also but Chastain is just over the top
@@Ka_Gg I'm not trying to defend mistakes as stupid as Chastain made at Dover, but I can't help but feel that his overly aggressive driving is why he's managed to be the points lead without winning a single race
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 and the points lead in May means absolutely nothing. Would you rather be in the points lead right now or have 3 wins and 5th in points without a target on your back? Again, his points lead is due to skill. Not wrecking ppl.
Send ross to the body shop for the whole week fixing what he tears up, even over to HMS He'll lose his teammates if he keeps destroying cars every week. Theyll get tired of fixing his mistakes
How come everybody wants to talk about how Ross ran Larson and the fence but nobody wants to talk about two laps before that Larson running him into the fence like come on now🤨
You just now figuring that out? Back in the day, Bill France Jr never referred to "the race", he always called it "the show". They've been racing under that mentality since the 80s.
Its just like Tiger Woods in the 2000s. You either tuned to watch him win or tuned to watch him lose but either way you were tuning. Thats why NASCAR will not try to reel him in.
@Dale Jr Dirty Mo Media, I completely agree with your take on the Ross vs Larson incident. I know I’m not a real life race car driver but I do run on the iRacing service and essentially understand how the cars work especially at Darlington. I have been telling people that going into turn one at speed and taking the line that Ross took will result in the car pushing up in the corner. Ross was the control car with Larson on the outside, based on aerial cameras it appears that Ross went low into the corner, and as he did that Larson turned down to minimize Ross’s line full well knowing that he may push up, I think Larson may have expected him to lift which in my mind is a huge mistake, never assume a driver will lift. I have had this happen to me a few times myself going into that turn and I had to lift because the outside car pinched me down but other times I didn’t lift and the results were the same thing, it resulted in a crash. But what would to hard racers be expected to do, I mean this is for the win. My other point in regards to Mr H is that one I understand his frustration however to publically state in a round about way that his drivers or others could wreck Ross and eliminate him from a Championship run is contentious but I do understand the heat of the moment comment. My final thought here is that if drivers are not willing to push it to the limit NASCAR has and will continue to be boring and they will and have lost a part of its Fan base, now that being said it’s not laid all on the drivers, some of it is the cars, some of it is a result of loosing Dale Sr but there are always risks involved in the highest level of racing and if your not willing to take some risks then you don’t need to be a race car driver. I truly believe that Ross has brought back a much needed luster to NASCAR with this rivalry, hell I can remember a lot of Dale Sr’s rivalries back in his early days and it was always a sit on the edge of the seat moment with him and most fans loved it even those who weren’t Dale Sr fans.
If you know the car is gonna push going in, back off early, get back in it early and stay in it. David Pearson and Cale Yarborough won a lot of races doing that, especially at Darlington.
Nascar isn't about the racing anymore, it hasn't been since the playoffs were added, it's about the entertainment experience, and the shenanigans on track prove it. 😄🏁
Honestly, there were plenty of elements of storylines and entertainment in the 90s and prior to playoffs. But you had a different crop of drivers and it was broadcasted a little differently.
Not at all it's always had an entertainment aspect but you're on social media UA-cam it's going to be an entertainment aspect during the race that talk about racing and stuff😊😊
@@JackKeithley it just seems like there's more emphasis on the storylines and the entertainment value than the racing over the last several years, and I don't like that.
@@chrispennington6890 it just seems like there's more emphasis on the storylines and the entertainment value than the racing over the last several years, and I don't like that.
@@keithbrettell2058 I get where you are coming from. Sadly this has become the norm, especially for TV and because of peoples viewing habits now, they are trying anything to try to grasp viewers. So if they highlight fights, people wrecking each other and trash talking, then they have talking points for the whole season and to use on TV. I wish they had more emphasis on the racing and tried to actually improve the cars a little so they can race better. Like giving them more power for example.
Ross hasn't earned the right to get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. He comes off as a punk. Same thing with Gibbs. It's different with Bush, Hamlin and Logano.
Yes, attention is good most of the time for a sport, but sometimes it isn't. I don't want ppl coming in that expect and want the leaders to crash late every race. I want to see them actually race it out. That's what's disappointing is the finishes we miss out on. We could have had a Craven vs Busch type finish.
Ross said point blank he was trying to squeeze larson and larson seemed to hold his ground and out of the two larson has had great finishes taken away 3 times in recent races. In the real world, larson owes ross a few paybacks.
Say what you want. Seeing the Chastain story is the best I’ve felt about watching NASCAR in a long time. We haven’t seen a real man as a driver in a long time & I’m glad to see one back.
What really is not being talked about why the 3 hendrick cars didnt try to do more to make sure ross finished behind all three of them they should have helped each other more i seen jr help jimmy win many times
For the first time, I completely disagree with Jr on his comments. I'm not a Chastain or Larson fan, could care less what happens to them. But Chastain has to clean it up and show what he can do on the track at the end of the race not walking out of the care center. It's called racing not watch what I can do to you, eat the wall.
The irony is Ross had Larson beat into turns 1 & 2 on both restarts (regardless of inside or outside lane), so Jr.'s argument here is a bit thin. I get Ross didn't want Larson on his inside, because Larson just squeezed him against the wall, but the difference is Larson squeezed Ross w/out wrecking both of them. Ross couldn't do the same in return.
Ross sent a message. Hes willing to take himself and whoever else out with him, giving up a chance at the win in the process. What crew chief, team, driver is willing to step against a man willing to destroy himself to destroy you? Nobody.
I don't want to see drivers backing down when battling for the win. Yeah, finishing 2nd consistently can still win championships, but I feel like if you're not trying to get the checkers, you're not racing.
I’m tired of everyone signing Crashtains praises 🙄 I agree with Mr.H that he has talent but that only goes so far especially when you have zero wins on the season. He wrecked himself when he tried to run the 5 in the fence instead of racing him straight up and getting a bigger feather in his cap if he could beat Larson clean…IMHO
I often wonder if Dale and Mike even watch the races. Ross didn't beat Larson on the previous restart and "show him how to do it" it was close with Larson's run. And they went back to the previous scoring loop. DBC spoke about it. The broadcast spoke about it. The only way you don't know is you didn't watch the race. The people who prep them should do better.
But I agree with what Herman said(Kenny Wallace). Ross needs to finish the race and make the win. If he continues to take out people unnecessarily then he will start being a target of the drivers instead of winning races. I think trying to compare him to Dale Sr. is unfair and misplace agenda!
Kenny also said he will be getting the weakest engine among the Chevy teams he said engines are made to be the same but they have 2 to 5 hp difference between them
@@charles-mp9nt Built by ECR. Not controlled by Hendrick and they have nothing to gain by giving them "sabotaged" engines. And, btw, if that were the case, RCR would have the fastest Chevrolets every weekend since RC is the CEO of that company. Hermie was talking a little out of his rear on that.
@@charles-mp9nt I'm pretty sure I mentioned that. ECR is used by all Chevrolets since Hendrick got in bed with them. There is no way they could NOT sell them any more engines. Chevrolet has more say than Hendrick does and don't believe for one second Hendrick would pull out of Chevrolet. He has way too much invested to do that.
Man, Dale spoke my exact opinion on that whole situation and yes Nascar is better with drama and it's no coincidence that when we have good storylines the racing is at its best. The past 2 weeks of on track racing were the best all year, so far. So awesome how Jr. loves Chastain's style. It's so reminiscent of Sr. and I love it! So much going on behind the scenes and if Nascar were smart they could capitalize on letting us in on some of that, for instance the story behind Jimmy Johnson coming into ownership and what lead to moving to Toyota? Bet Legacy gets a big push from Toyota and has so much better results next year with two great drivers in Jones and Gragson.
I did get a chuckle out of Larson keeping his foot in the throttle pushing Chastain’s car down the back stretch. No one said much about it but that was as loud as Larson will talk about this stuff.
As a fan I wanna see my driver take chances not settle for 2nd like Kevin did. An as a Ross fan he didn’t have the car at the end like Kyle did but if he pushed it hard he had a shot. Second to last restarts Kyle used him up because he got beat on the restart. Lucky for him he got a 2nd chance too but Ross did a little over thinking. And at that moment as much talent ross has he don’t have the ability to over drive a car as good as Kyle can and washed up Kyle could have back out too but didn’t as so both crash out. Just a couple of bullheaded, talented drivers that ain’t going to settle for 2nd best
@@toytacambery9427 lol are you gay for Chastain the comment above has zero mention of Ross but here you are bringing him up. Imagine letting the melon man literally get in your melon this bad. Get some help man or a life
@@toytacambery9427 Exactly. One of his wins was based on luck and the other he had to punt Allmendinger out of the way to win. He needs to win more consistently if we wanna consider him as one of the greats
You are also forgetting that AJ was beating and banging with Ross and others the whole time so it was inevitable for him to get his receipt and he won talladega that’s a oval
Jr. views these incidents as a positive because it sparks interest in the sport. If your sport relies on this type of driving then you have some serious issues with the sport. It is getting tiresome listening to Jr. excusing these antics for the supposed good of the sport. Let’s see how he handles this type of driving in the CARS Tour series.
I'm thinking that "Don't let a push go" kind of bit him in the butt. I was surprised how dumb a move that was with Larson. He still had a shot to win without that move that Larson schooled him on. I am not a Larson fan but don't blame him at all for things going wrong there.
Thank you! Finally someone is being logical and objective in the incident. This season as a whole has been pretty awesome but I agree that the excitement is picking up. Drivers like Ross are good for the sport. Ross isn't going anywhere and he will get it worked out as he's in more and more of these situations.
If he could have had third sight and foreseen what happened between Truex and Logano, he would've known being that far forward would put him in the garage.
The truth is Ross. Chastain is good for the sport because he’s exciting. People tune in to watch him to see if he’s gonna punch somebody or rough somebody up out on the track and cause some controversy or what have you. But he’s making the sport exciting and he’s drawing attention and people are paying attention. It’s kind of like a big drama or a saga where people are tuning in to see if the villain is going to dish out some more punishment or get his just dessert. I don’t think Ross Chastain is a villain, but a lot of folks do and because of it people are watching, hoping he’s gonna get wrecked people are watching open he’s gonna do some wrecking lol But you can bet with all that broke loose at Dover Everybody was on their feet nobody was sitting down and that’s what NASCAR needs.
You hit the nail right on the head. Thank you for your honesty. I remember other drivers doing much the same in the beginning of their careers, including Dale Sr. I’m fans of both Larson and Chastain, I seen it coming too! 🏁
But he's going to start getting crummy motors. And he's made so many enemies, they're gonna draw straws to see who gets to take him out of the race. Somebody's gonna get really hurt. My husband and I have enjoyed watching racing for many years, but if you have to wreck em to win, where's the talent in that? Must it always be about selling tickets over safety? Every week? Every stage?
to be honest, since Dale Jr retired I have enjoyed racing, but I don't have a favorite driver. The more i listen to these drivers (grown men i think), the more i listen to them cry. The more i like Chastain. Have not ever heard him complain about other drivers and we all know he is not the only one to wreck someone.
Chastain is AWESOME !!!! It IS his fault........ I hope he hits the first Hendrick car he gets to on lap 1 of the next race! (any other car would be fine too) TOO MANY WHINERS IN NASCAR
It feels like everyone is starting to make excuses for Chastain because he's getting attention for the sport. If his wall ride never happens, the entire narrative about him is different. If you want to watch an entire race filled with Chastains, just tune into the truck series. They drive over each other all race long, too. Ross only has 2 wins and shockingly 1 of them he had to punt Allmendinger after AJ passed him
@@red14carbluebattleship76 that's primarily because other fast cars, who actually win, get caught up Chastain messes part of the time, leading to DNFs. This was the first week Chastain has actually hurt himself. Maybe his luck has run up, maybe not. Last year he did have a strong finish. Needed a miracle move to advance, but did it. I was rooting for him in the championship race. His shtick is just getting old now. I was hoping he would evolve his driving ability. Hell, even his own teammate had beef with him this year.
@@therodeowhale So your just going to ignore that he has talent is actually good? Once is lucky, twice is a fluke, any higher than that and luck is no longer considered as it becomes skill.
Jr, my problem was when Larry said the telemetry out of Ross car was throttle 100% the entire time. That's just plain stupid, push Larson, clatter him off the wall. But 100% means neither can finish....2 laps to go and every driver managed to get through 1 and 2.
Dale what are you looking at ??? Ross said point blank he was trying to squeeze the 5 !!! So that tells me he was 💩 the pants.. The 5 actually was letting off because he knew Ross was going to wreck him. He was going to a crossover n pass him on the bottom but of course the 1 turned right .., Look at the replay from behind. The top row was in the same line as Larson.. Ross plain ole took himself out
Good ru down. I would add, on the first restart with Larson on the inside both made it through turns 1 & 2, while on the second retstart with Chastain on the inside, no such luck. Also, Larry Mac said on Monday that looking at the data at the moment of impact, Larson was off the gas totally and off the brake while Chastain was WOT.
You knew whoever was on the inside was going to run the outside car up into the wall. Larson would have done it too. That’s how they race now. There’s no give. Harvick got a top five finish by not being so aggressive.
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 and people's only argument to that is that he didn't cause a wreck only because the car on the outside lifted. It's almost like Larson could've avoided it the same way😂😂
Ross wasn't experienced enough to do the same thing Larson did to him on prior restart. Ross wrecks himself and Larson because Ross didn't know how to do what he was trying to do. But Ross didn't mean to wreck himself or Larson, he was just trying to squeeze him up like Larson did him.
It's a shame that people like to see wrecks, to make NASCAR exciting, also I wonder if jr would feel the same way about Chastain if he was one of the cars Chastain wrecked few times, I bet not
I cannot understand Dale still sticking up for Chastain. He is 2 for 164, lucked into Talledega win and crashed his way to COTA win. Yep, he’ll sell tickets because people love watching crashes.
He's really 2 for 49 with most top 5s in cup in those last 49 races. Those first 100 races he was in cars that Kyle Busch and Logano would never run top 10 in. It was the worst equipment in cup. He won 4 races in trucks in 2019 in a truck that had ZERO top 5s in 2 full seasons without Ross in it.
@@donniebeadles7842 He’s a class B driver . Winning is all that matters when you have his all or nothing mentality. Until he gets it In check the results will be the same. Trashing cars
Really good discussion. At about 13:30 through Jr's key question at 14:03... "In that moment (where Larson has the preferred outside line into 1 and 2), can you trust everyone to hold their line and not make contact?"... Well, "Rubbin's racin'!" - BUT - Wreckin? ain't racin'. Something for Chastain to ponder.
Question?? Would Ross have already sealed the deal into the championship with a win if he'd chill the hell out and drive like he knows how to do? I 100% believe the answer is yes. I think he would have already won 2 races by now but he's to busy being an ass.
So you're just a fan of a story line? You didn't want a terrible result for either car, but you're glad they had a terrible result. Dude the most contradictory 15 min. on Youboob.
I quit watching NASCAR 10-12 years ago and somehow this Ross fella has reeled me back in a bit.
Me too

Why is no one talking about Larson pushing Ross down the back stretch? That was the best thing going, as Ross spotter was saying he's not lifting!
I believe you missed the whole race. Ross & Kyle restarted 3 times side by side on restarts. 1st time Ross on the inside and almost fenced Kyle & Kyle lost 3 places.
2nd restart, Kyle on the inside and Ross was repayed.
Last restart Ross truly fenced Kyle and himself.
They could have had a 1-2 finish. The results speak for themselves.

Love him or hate him, we are talking about Chastain on social media and that's gold for NASCAR.
No it isn't you attention seeking fool.
NASCAR needs Ross more than Ross needs NASCAR.
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 that's not true at all..
Nascar could use any driver and make them into Ross Chastain..
Trackhouse however needs Hendrick and childress to even exist in the cup series..
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 if people are talking about Nascar but their talking about it in a bad way because of Ross Chastain is he really all that good for the sport?
@@deliriouswhome1💯
Would rather watch them race to the finish
As kenny wallace says justin marks and ross might want to realize where they get there engines from
Chastain is driving like Dale Sr but everyone has a problem with him doing it
A lot of people had a problem with Dale Sr doing it too.
Exactly !! what a bunch of hypocrites. They cheered on Dale Sr. but want to throw Ross out of Nascar ! Thank God there is a driver who actually has the drive and guts to try and win and not just drive around in a circle ! Larry Mac , Burton and all those other know it alls need to back off. I think if it started to rain during a race they would blame it on Ross !
I'm a huge Larson fan, I have followed him for many years, He's the best driver in the USA. Ross Chastain is a pretty damn good driver but obviously lacks discipline. I respect hard racing and Larson will drive you hard. The difference is he won't crash you 99 percent of the time. I can say right now Larson should have 4 or 5 wins right now but other drivers don't know how to win without tapping someone.
What it all boils down to is that good drivers can pass people, they don't have to knock them out of the way. Bill France Jr let things get out of hand in the mid-80s and they've never gotten it back.
Love your perspective on this Jr.....love your passion for the sport and the legacy of it as well!
Wow Dale, that’s a serious man crush. Ross is tied with Juan Pablo Montoya with TWO wins in NASCAR. Before you throw a parade, maybe he could win a third without wrecking the field?
The jet dryer is about the only thing he hasn't hit yet.
@@nachobroryan8824 he used to be a watermelon farmer….till he wrecked all the tractors and farm trucks. Now watermelons are $6.78 each!
Love this conversation. It was funny😊
Ross keeps me from falling asleep. Without Ross I’d be watching gulf and I hate gulf!! Let’s Go Team Trackhouse!!
I love when Jr breaks this stuff down and gives us his opinions I could watch him just talk about racing 24 hours a day.
If it's down to ratings over good racing, I'll pass. Sick of seeing so many careless wrecks, I would rather see good clean, hard racing. F Chastain
Truex and Lagano did the same thing with out the controversy. Only reason its a conversation is because its Chastain
The difference is when Larson squeezed Chastain, both made it through 1 and 2....hard racing.
When Chastain did it, he washed up, had no control, and takes out Larson and himself.
Thats the difference between a professional driver, and one that just has talent.
Cant wait to see HMS target that clown
if you watch closely before the big wreck, Larson on the inside of Chastain, runs Chastain into the wall while the wreck is happening. Larson bumps him a couple times early in the turn, then while the wreck starts you see Chastain hit the wall. I think that is why Chastain chose the inside, so he could do the squeezing
That was retaliation by Larson. Ross squeezed Larson earlier in the race.
2 wins. 0 on ovals
Yeah idk why people aren’t bringing this up. Larson poked the bear and he got the bear’s response. Im no Chastain fan and he drives like an idiot sometimes but Larson knows better than to mess with Ross.
Yeah it's payback
thats a very good point
NASCAR, The most popular soap opera on TV. Frankly, I’d rather watch a race.
I got roasted on a few Facebook pages Sunday night saying pretty much what you said. Larson was trying to hold Ross almost down on the apron into turn one. Thanks for being honest and saying what you feel.
I got roasted by my husband and his friends for saying just about the same thing as well. It's so refreshing to hear Dale's honesty!! I love him!
You deserve to get roasted if you are saying in any way, that Larson is at fault for the crash. Silly.
@@laughsalot6847 Your husband is right.
Down on the apron? What race were you watching? Larson was by the wall the whole time you ignorant ignorant blank
@LaughsAlot they did, because this take is bs.
I have to agree with Mike. People need to stop defending Ross and speak the truth. If it was Denny Hamlin that was driving like Ross his haters would crap on him every week. Stop with the double standards.
Lots of people are hating on Ross.
You can teach a fast guy to stop crashing but it’s hard to teach a slow guy to go fast.
Chastain just has to dial his aggressive driving by twenty or thirty percent and he'd have more wins and respect in the garage. Anyone that actually watches racing can tell that he is very fast and talented.
Hell, Larson had issues when he first got into the cup series also but Chastain is just over the top
@@Ka_Gg I'm not trying to defend mistakes as stupid as Chastain made at Dover, but I can't help but feel that his overly aggressive driving is why he's managed to be the points lead without winning a single race
For the most part I agree, there always exceptions & it certainly appears over the past two seasons Ross fits the “exception”.
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 and the points lead in May means absolutely nothing. Would you rather be in the points lead right now or have 3 wins and 5th in points without a target on your back?
Again, his points lead is due to skill. Not wrecking ppl.
Are you talking about Blaney?
Send ross to the body shop for the whole week fixing what he tears up, even over to HMS
He'll lose his teammates if he keeps destroying cars every week. Theyll get tired of fixing his mistakes
Mistakes by Ross is pure BS. He is a crasher. Get with it
Chill it its racing....
The audio is awesome. "still pushing you-still pushing you" hilarious.😆
Like Chastain didn't know that...............sometimes spotters talk just to hear themselves talk.
How come everybody wants to talk about how Ross ran Larson and the fence but nobody wants to talk about two laps before that Larson running him into the fence like come on now🤨
I’m getting the impression that Dale likes the soap opera aspect of the sport more than the actual racing aspect of the sport.
With you. To me, Junior here seems focused on marketing. (What's "good for the sport" blah blah blah... viewership etc. Like a soap opera.)
You just now figuring that out? Back in the day, Bill France Jr never referred to "the race", he always called it "the show". They've been racing under that mentality since the 80s.
Its just like Tiger Woods in the 2000s. You either tuned to watch him win or tuned to watch him lose but either way you were tuning. Thats why NASCAR will not try to reel him in.
@Dale Jr Dirty Mo Media, I completely agree with your take on the Ross vs Larson incident. I know I’m not a real life race car driver but I do run on the iRacing service and essentially understand how the cars work especially at Darlington. I have been telling people that going into turn one at speed and taking the line that Ross took will result in the car pushing up in the corner. Ross was the control car with Larson on the outside, based on aerial cameras it appears that Ross went low into the corner, and as he did that Larson turned down to minimize Ross’s line full well knowing that he may push up, I think Larson may have expected him to lift which in my mind is a huge mistake, never assume a driver will lift. I have had this happen to me a few times myself going into that turn and I had to lift because the outside car pinched me down but other times I didn’t lift and the results were the same thing, it resulted in a crash. But what would to hard racers be expected to do, I mean this is for the win. My other point in regards to Mr H is that one I understand his frustration however to publically state in a round about way that his drivers or others could wreck Ross and eliminate him from a Championship run is contentious but I do understand the heat of the moment comment.
My final thought here is that if drivers are not willing to push it to the limit NASCAR has and will continue to be boring and they will and have lost a part of its Fan base, now that being said it’s not laid all on the drivers, some of it is the cars, some of it is a result of loosing Dale Sr but there are always risks involved in the highest level of racing and if your not willing to take some risks then you don’t need to be a race car driver. I truly believe that Ross has brought back a much needed luster to NASCAR with this rivalry, hell I can remember a lot of Dale Sr’s rivalries back in his early days and it was always a sit on the edge of the seat moment with him and most fans loved it even those who weren’t Dale Sr fans.
Very good insight
If you know the car is gonna push going in, back off early, get back in it early and stay in it. David Pearson and Cale Yarborough won a lot of races doing that, especially at Darlington.
Nascar isn't about the racing anymore, it hasn't been since the playoffs were added, it's about the entertainment experience, and the shenanigans on track prove it. 😄🏁
Honestly, there were plenty of elements of storylines and entertainment in the 90s and prior to playoffs. But you had a different crop of drivers and it was broadcasted a little differently.
Not at all it's always had an entertainment aspect but you're on social media UA-cam it's going to be an entertainment aspect during the race that talk about racing and stuff😊😊
@@JackKeithley it just seems like there's more emphasis on the storylines and the entertainment value than the racing over the last several years, and I don't like that.
@@chrispennington6890 it just seems like there's more emphasis on the storylines and the entertainment value than the racing over the last several years, and I don't like that.
@@keithbrettell2058 I get where you are coming from. Sadly this has become the norm, especially for TV and because of peoples viewing habits now, they are trying anything to try to grasp viewers. So if they highlight fights, people wrecking each other and trash talking, then they have talking points for the whole season and to use on TV. I wish they had more emphasis on the racing and tried to actually improve the cars a little so they can race better. Like giving them more power for example.
Ross hasn't earned the right to get the benefit of the doubt in these situations. He comes off as a punk. Same thing with Gibbs. It's different with Bush, Hamlin and Logano.
Yes, attention is good most of the time for a sport, but sometimes it isn't.
I don't want ppl coming in that expect and want the leaders to crash late every race. I want to see them actually race it out. That's what's disappointing is the finishes we miss out on. We could have had a Craven vs Busch type finish.
You don't know squat. There is no bad publicity for a sport unless it involves a man beating a woman on video.
Ross said point blank he was trying to squeeze larson and larson seemed to hold his ground and out of the two larson has had great finishes taken away 3 times in recent races. In the real world, larson owes ross a few paybacks.
Ross makes nascar exciting to watch. Keep being you Ross.
Say what you want. Seeing the Chastain story is the best I’ve felt about watching NASCAR in a long time. We haven’t seen a real man as a driver in a long time & I’m glad to see one back.
"We haven't seen a real man as a driver..."
Dude put your Vaseline away. Ross probably has a wife or girlfriend. He's not gonna f*** you.
Also
2 wins. 0 on ovals. In over 150 cup series starts.
What really is not being talked about why the 3 hendrick cars didnt try to do more to make sure ross finished behind all three of them they should have helped each other more i seen jr help jimmy win many times
For the first time, I completely disagree with Jr on his comments. I'm not a Chastain or Larson fan, could care less what happens to them. But Chastain has to clean it up and show what he can do on the track at the end of the race not walking out of the care center. It's called racing not watch what I can do to you, eat the wall.
The irony is Ross had Larson beat into turns 1 & 2 on both restarts (regardless of inside or outside lane), so Jr.'s argument here is a bit thin. I get Ross didn't want Larson on his inside, because Larson just squeezed him against the wall, but the difference is Larson squeezed Ross w/out wrecking both of them. Ross couldn't do the same in return.
That would be what they call racing
I like Ross. A lot !!!! He is a great wheel man !!!!
Ross backed off when he was being squeezed Larson didn’t
Ross will be in the playoffs
Ross sent a message. Hes willing to take himself and whoever else out with him, giving up a chance at the win in the process.
What crew chief, team, driver is willing to step against a man willing to destroy himself to destroy you?
Nobody.
I don't want to see drivers backing down when battling for the win. Yeah, finishing 2nd consistently can still win championships, but I feel like if you're not trying to get the checkers, you're not racing.
I’m tired of everyone signing Crashtains praises 🙄
I agree with Mr.H that he has talent but that only goes so far especially when you have zero wins on the season.
He wrecked himself when he tried to run the 5 in the fence instead of racing him straight up and getting a bigger feather in his cap if he could beat Larson clean…IMHO
I loved it. They were racing hard and that’s what I want to see, guys trying to win….
That was some awesome racing! Nothing more, nothing less. Bring on some more!
You need to get yourself to a dirt track which is where all the racing will be in a few years after Nas crap is done
I often wonder if Dale and Mike even watch the races. Ross didn't beat Larson on the previous restart and "show him how to do it" it was close with Larson's run. And they went back to the previous scoring loop. DBC spoke about it. The broadcast spoke about it. The only way you don't know is you didn't watch the race. The people who prep them should do better.
But I agree with what Herman said(Kenny Wallace). Ross needs to finish the race and make the win. If he continues to take out people unnecessarily then he will start being a target of the drivers instead of winning races. I think trying to compare him to Dale Sr. is unfair and misplace agenda!
Kenny also said he will be getting the weakest engine among the Chevy teams he said engines are made to be the same but they have 2 to 5 hp difference between them
Lots of nuts and bolts in those Chevy engines, shame if they missed a few.
@@charles-mp9nt Built by ECR. Not controlled by Hendrick and they have nothing to gain by giving them "sabotaged" engines. And, btw, if that were the case, RCR would have the fastest Chevrolets every weekend since RC is the CEO of that company. Hermie was talking a little out of his rear on that.
@@lewislambert4590 where you been they use the same engine program
@@charles-mp9nt I'm pretty sure I mentioned that. ECR is used by all Chevrolets since Hendrick got in bed with them. There is no way they could NOT sell them any more engines. Chevrolet has more say than Hendrick does and don't believe for one second Hendrick would pull out of Chevrolet. He has way too much invested to do that.
Man, Dale spoke my exact opinion on that whole situation and yes Nascar is better with drama and it's no coincidence that when we have good storylines the racing is at its best. The past 2 weeks of on track racing were the best all year, so far.
So awesome how Jr. loves Chastain's style. It's so reminiscent of Sr. and I love it!
So much going on behind the scenes and if Nascar were smart they could capitalize on letting us in on some of that, for instance the story behind Jimmy Johnson coming into ownership and what lead to moving to Toyota? Bet Legacy gets a big push from Toyota and has so much better results next year with two great drivers in Jones and Gragson.
I did get a chuckle out of Larson keeping his foot in the throttle pushing Chastain’s car down the back stretch. No one said much about it but that was as loud as Larson will talk about this stuff.
As a fan I wanna see my driver take chances not settle for 2nd like Kevin did. An as a Ross fan he didn’t have the car at the end like Kyle did but if he pushed it hard he had a shot. Second to last restarts Kyle used him up because he got beat on the restart. Lucky for him he got a 2nd chance too but Ross did a little over thinking. And at that moment as much talent ross has he don’t have the ability to over drive a car as good as Kyle can and washed up Kyle could have back out too but didn’t as so both crash out. Just a couple of bullheaded, talented drivers that ain’t going to settle for 2nd best
Wow! Sounds like you could get hired by this channel without applying.
Didn't think I'd hear Pat McAfee Show reference on this show, both are awesome to listen to.
Been a NASCAR fan my entire life. By far the last 2 years have been amazing. I am excited for Sunday’s again.
2 wins. 0 on ovals
@@toytacambery9427 lol are you gay for Chastain the comment above has zero mention of Ross but here you are bringing him up. Imagine letting the melon man literally get in your melon this bad. Get some help man or a life
@@toytacambery9427 Exactly. One of his wins was based on luck and the other he had to punt Allmendinger out of the way to win. He needs to win more consistently if we wanna consider him as one of the greats
You are also forgetting that AJ was beating and banging with Ross and others the whole time so it was inevitable for him to get his receipt and he won talladega that’s a oval
@@toytacambery9427 so dega ain’t a oval now
Jr. views these incidents as a positive because it sparks interest in the sport. If your sport relies on this type of driving then you have some serious issues with the sport. It is getting tiresome listening to Jr. excusing these antics for the supposed good of the sport. Let’s see how he handles this type of driving in the CARS Tour series.
Is Dale becoming a marketing executive? The "for the good of the sport" statement -- will excuse and condone anything.
Bottom line is Larson would have beat him in that race and is definitely a better driver, not to mention has better team.
You got this one wrong, Chastain wrecked his self
You're wrong !
I'm fine with this being the outcome. I'm just over Chastain not owning this persona he has on track off track.
Carl was why I started watching Nascar! So amazing to see him again!
great video thanks
Can't wait to see what happens on the track for the next race. Good stuff going on the track now........
I don't mind the bumping rubbing dooring it's the wrecking guys out that gets me
I'm thinking that "Don't let a push go" kind of bit him in the butt. I was surprised how dumb a move that was with Larson. He still had a shot to win without that move that Larson schooled him on. I am not a Larson fan but don't blame him at all for things going wrong there.
Thank you! Finally someone is being logical and objective in the incident. This season as a whole has been pretty awesome but I agree that the excitement is picking up. Drivers like Ross are good for the sport. Ross isn't going anywhere and he will get it worked out as he's in more and more of these situations.
I disagree with jr,yes people are talking about it,but Ross has to hold his line into turn 1…you can’t wash up across Larson nose and wreck both cars.
If he could have had third sight and foreseen what happened between Truex and Logano, he would've known being that far forward would put him in the garage.
@@charlesabbott5563 foreseen? He already did see what happened, that occurred before that restart
@@adamharding9270didn't it happen behind him?
Rubbing is racing... that's just part of it and sometimes things happen
Correct
Dale. You are full of it. Man if it was your car that he wrecked you would have a different tune.
My problem with the whole Chastain thing is nobody is talking about the great racing we have had the last few weeks
Well said great insights on the race's keep up the good work much love
The truth is Ross. Chastain is good for the sport because he’s exciting. People tune in to watch him to see if he’s gonna punch somebody or rough somebody up out on the track and cause some controversy or what have you. But he’s making the sport exciting and he’s drawing attention and people are paying attention.
It’s kind of like a big drama or a saga where people are tuning in to see if the villain is going to dish out some more punishment or get his just dessert. I don’t think Ross Chastain is a villain, but a lot of folks do and because of it people are watching, hoping he’s gonna get wrecked people are watching open he’s gonna do some wrecking lol
But you can bet with all that broke loose at Dover Everybody was on their feet nobody was sitting down and that’s what NASCAR needs.
Bowyer and Bill both said the 1 jumped the restart. Race control has some serious issues and fans aren’t going to watch if they don’t clean it up.
You hit the nail right on the head. Thank you for your honesty. I remember other drivers doing much the same in the beginning of their careers, including Dale Sr. I’m fans of both Larson and Chastain, I seen it coming too! 🏁
It's called racing for a reason. Larson has never wrecked anyone? What about Hamlin wrecking Larson on the last lap to win just a week earlier?
But he's going to start getting crummy motors. And he's made so many enemies, they're gonna draw straws to see who gets to take him out of the race. Somebody's gonna get really hurt. My husband and I have enjoyed watching racing for many years, but if you have to wreck em to win, where's the talent in that? Must it always be about selling tickets over safety? Every week? Every stage?
to be honest, since Dale Jr retired I have enjoyed racing, but I don't have a favorite driver. The more i listen to these drivers (grown men i think), the more i listen to them cry. The more i like Chastain. Have not ever heard him complain about other drivers and we all know he is not the only one to wreck someone.
Exactly
Chastain is AWESOME !!!!
It IS his fault........
I hope he hits the first Hendrick car he gets to on lap 1 of the next race!
(any other car would be fine too)
TOO MANY WHINERS IN NASCAR
One thing that Chastain lacks though is WINS
Junior i really enjoy hearing how you break everything down. I agree the lane choice is what Ross needs to take away with this.
It feels like everyone is starting to make excuses for Chastain because he's getting attention for the sport. If his wall ride never happens, the entire narrative about him is different. If you want to watch an entire race filled with Chastains, just tune into the truck series. They drive over each other all race long, too. Ross only has 2 wins and shockingly 1 of them he had to punt Allmendinger after AJ passed him
And the other was luck by the seas parting because of a wreck, let’s not pretend his talent won him either of those races.
Ross is the boss
This is ignoring the fact that he is the regular season points leader, and he finished strongly last year.
@@red14carbluebattleship76 that's primarily because other fast cars, who actually win, get caught up Chastain messes part of the time, leading to DNFs. This was the first week Chastain has actually hurt himself. Maybe his luck has run up, maybe not. Last year he did have a strong finish. Needed a miracle move to advance, but did it. I was rooting for him in the championship race. His shtick is just getting old now. I was hoping he would evolve his driving ability. Hell, even his own teammate had beef with him this year.
@@therodeowhale So your just going to ignore that he has talent is actually good? Once is lucky, twice is a fluke, any higher than that and luck is no longer considered as it becomes skill.
Jr, my problem was when Larry said the telemetry out of Ross car was throttle 100% the entire time. That's just plain stupid, push Larson, clatter him off the wall. But 100% means neither can finish....2 laps to go and every driver managed to get through 1 and 2.
I gave NASCAR up after Dale passed and Rusty retired. Long time passed. Ross renewed my love of this awesome sport.
I like Ross. Give him a chance. He's driving his heart out.
That bring said Larson is my favourite driver.
Just enjoy the racing.
Dale what are you looking at ??? Ross said point blank he was trying to squeeze the 5 !!! So that tells me he was 💩 the pants.. The 5 actually was letting off because he knew Ross was going to wreck him. He was going to a crossover n pass him on the bottom but of course the 1 turned right .., Look at the replay from behind. The top row was in the same line as Larson.. Ross plain ole took himself out
I just hate the big security guy stopped Noah's right counter. Ross would've got a deserved ass beating.
Earlier in the race Ross doored larson on the restart too
That was awesome
Larson did a restart on the inside and didn't end either ones race . Chastain didn't
One thing about Ross, he gets the people going that’s for sure. Needs to start winning races again for it to stick.
Spot ON, man! 🔥🔥🔥
Great insight. If Larson and Chastain could have finished like the Xfinity race, it would have been an amazing race.
Good ru down. I would add, on the first restart with Larson on the inside both made it through turns 1 & 2, while on the second retstart with Chastain on the inside, no such luck. Also, Larry Mac said on Monday that looking at the data at the moment of impact, Larson was off the gas totally and off the brake while Chastain was WOT.
You knew whoever was on the inside was going to run the outside car up into the wall. Larson would have done it too. That’s how they race now. There’s no give. Harvick got a top five finish by not being so aggressive.
Larson literally DID do that on the previous restart as well
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 and people's only argument to that is that he didn't cause a wreck only because the car on the outside lifted. It's almost like Larson could've avoided it the same way😂😂
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 yup, and then Ross got the choose and took the bottom and repayed the favor.
@@drumnbasssakuga9352 they all do. It’s all take and no give.
What NACAR needs is good racing. Not bumper car, not bump and run but hit and crash as his main move.
Ross wasn't experienced enough to do the same thing Larson did to him on prior restart. Ross wrecks himself and Larson because Ross didn't know how to do what he was trying to do. But Ross didn't mean to wreck himself or Larson, he was just trying to squeeze him up like Larson did him.
Probably the most intelligent take in these comments.
ah...larson put him in the wall,, and Ross still came out in front!
It's a shame that people like to see wrecks, to make NASCAR exciting, also I wonder if jr would feel the same way about Chastain if he was one of the cars Chastain wrecked few times, I bet not
Come on Jr. absolute crap take. he has taken people out too much.
God bless Dale! the sport needs his perspective on these things vs all the whining hearing from everyone else
always great stuff Mr Earnhardt......
I cannot understand Dale still sticking up for Chastain. He is 2 for 164, lucked into Talledega win and crashed his way to COTA win. Yep, he’ll sell tickets because people love watching crashes.
He's really 2 for 49 with most top 5s in cup in those last 49 races. Those first 100 races he was in cars that Kyle Busch and Logano would never run top 10 in. It was the worst equipment in cup. He won 4 races in trucks in 2019 in a truck that had ZERO top 5s in 2 full seasons without Ross in it.
Agreed, He’s a class B driver in class A equipment..
@@donniebeadles7842
He’s a class B driver . Winning is all that matters when you have his all or nothing mentality. Until he gets it In check the results will be the same. Trashing cars
Really good discussion. At about 13:30 through Jr's key question at 14:03... "In that moment (where Larson has the preferred outside line into 1 and 2), can you trust everyone to hold their line and not make contact?"... Well, "Rubbin's racin'!" - BUT - Wreckin? ain't racin'. Something for Chastain to ponder.
Question?? Would Ross have already sealed the deal into the championship with a win if he'd chill the hell out and drive like he knows how to do? I 100% believe the answer is yes. I think he would have already won 2 races by now but he's to busy being an ass.
He will hang around another 2 maybe 3 years then go back to the watermelon farm with less than 10 wins and no championship. 100% guaranteed!!!
Mike Davis with the Code Blue hat😂😂😂
So you're just a fan of a story line? You didn't want a terrible result for either car, but you're glad they had a terrible result. Dude the most contradictory 15 min. on Youboob.
