This Becoming Earnhardt series and the articles is my favorite thing you've ever done on Dirty Mo.
Kelly's perspective adds so much. Pragmatist, realist, whatever, but her views are clear and concise. 👍🏁
There were people who liked your dad and those who didn't but one thing I am sure of, they all respected his abilities . When your dad passed I felt i was done with racing but you revived my love for the sport. Thank You
I love this part of The Dale Jr Down load. I will say no disrespect but Kelly is still just as beautiful as ever. Yall have done so much for Nascar. Especially the infinity series what a great brother and sister team combo.
Thanks for sharing. I'm 63 watched your dad race all those years. And YES Kelly! The story seems all to familiar. Jr. You are so damn good at what you do today. For that I'm greatful!
AMAZING!!! its so funny that Kelley mentioned that about your dad losing his dad.... when you read that... I was like... omg... I mean I knew, but hearing it in that context I was like dang... It just hit different.... Junior, you are gifted, there is no denying that.... I really enjoyed it. And Kelley, I always love your insight.... this was pure Gold....
I'm in my 50,s and I absolutely idolized your Dad since the very beginning . I was very fortunate to met him several times at Atlanta Race Way when I worked on a ARCA team and was present at Atlanta when he did the Lumina to Monte Carlo commercial in the 90s . I've got boxes and boxes of his memorabilia and pictures and autographs that I put away after his passing and pretty much stopped watching NASCAR after you won at Daytona . I love that y'all are doing this , we can never forget his impact on the sport .
I love when Kelley is on the show.
I agree, I have been wanting to see more of Kerry and Jrs. Reminiscing of their younger and wilder days. Would love to see Kerry, Kelly, Dale Jr., And Taylor in a show talking about growing up all together as well as all getting together now. It would be nice to know they can all get together and laugh and talk about thier ol man. I vote Jr. Makes that happen. Can I get a second on the motion. Come on Dale Jr you can do it,,getchur old ass in there. Getter in gear. & Getter Done.
I bet this is like unlocking a whole new world about your dad. So cool
It's unlocking lore, YEAH
@@SamuelDuplessis12 it is very fun to do! Kelley (Wyatt has hijacked my youtube haha).
I love this evening I look to see if the next episode out!!!
So cool to think back to watching your Dad start racing back in 1979, I was 14yrs old watching from Ontario Canada when the bunny ears were tuned just right. I had a feeling your dad would be something special and he sure was.
Dale, It's so cool listening to you read your Dad's long lost articles from his Rookie Season in 1979.
Love hearing from his son and daughter stories of my Hero! Nascar has never been the same since we lost him! Jr. filled that loss while he was racing Forever #3 /88
This is so cool! Read the whole damn book with her!
I love listening to Dale and Kelley breaking things down and learning this stuff after so many years Fantastic y'all ❣️🥰
I am 67,your dad was my hero.Good to hear the stories as he began his racing journey.
I love watching you and Kelly talk about your Dad. I lost My Dad Christmas Eve of 99 and I think that I had a lot of the same feelings that you all had. My Dad was not famous like yours but I was amazed at how many turned out at the funeral and the stories that I have heard about him since.
Kelley I'm loving it too. Hearing words and thoughts of THE BEST RACE DRIVER TO EVER RACE FROM IST PERSON PERSPECTIVE ALONG WITH YOUR'S AND DALE'S THOUGHTS IS ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS PRICELESS TREASURED BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES FOREVER 🙏 THANK Y'ALL FOR SHARING THESE PRICELESS MOMENTS IN TIME WITH THIS GRATEFUL AND VERY THANKFUL EARNHARDT FAN! BUT I WAS BLESSED TO MEET RALPH AND WATCH HIM RACE AT THE OLD COLUMBIA SPEEDWAY IN CAYCE SOUTH CAROLINA EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AND IT WAS AWESOME THEN AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL AND PRICELESS 💞🙏 GOD BLESS AUNT KAY FOR SEEING THE GREATNESS IN YOUR DAD AND THE FANTASTIC IDEA TO SAVE ALL OF THESE ARTICLES FOR YOU BOTH 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🙏🙏🙏
Gosh wasn't that wonderful foreshadowing that title of the article Dale Earnhardt Tells It Like it is! Love that opening sentence and to see Kelley too, her insight is special 🎉 🏁 ❤ , M. In Miami : )
We need a "Tell it like it is" tshirt now
Thank you for sharing some of the priceless memory's that created who Dale Earnhardt was. Looking forward to more of your family's history! ❤
..."Yup, This is GOOD STUFF..!..." Kelly..... Amen...! 😊

Love the fact that you sat down with ur sister to go over all of this. Congratulations. Great show
Love this series, Dale! and Hey Ms. Kelly!

Yeah I'm sure that it feels good for them like positive therapy every day !
I'm sorry you did not have a better father at home and I am happy to see you be such a loving father to your girls! But I'm sure every little piece of information helps you understand why he was who he was to you and the world!
Thank you Kelley for being a part of these podcasts. You are a great asset to the auto racing world. I wish you would have stayed in a race car much longer. Let's see you in a car again !!!
Love the interaction with you and your sister. Hearing these stories and the comments are entertaining and cool. Keep the stories coming, please.....
Miss Kelly😍😍😍😘
Love this history lesson thanx jr
Thank you so much for sharing these articles with us. I've been a race fan since I was a child, and through the early 80's became a diehard fan of your dad. His determination and passion for becoming successful in the sport was like no other, and it showed on the track, and beyond. I listen to y'all and just smile .. he was obviously a good father, too. Thanks again for sharing this with us.
Amazing how he speaks love jrs narration of his dads words.
Love this series!
I love hearing Dale's own words from these articles ❤
really enjoying the Becoming Earnhardt series so far. episode 3 is the best one yet as all the ads were at the beginning and end of the episode. no interruptions in between. I like that format for these shorter episodes.
Awesome job Junior!
You and Kelly should do a bi-weekly show like these Dale. You're both awesome!
Love the series. Emotional and powerful! Thx for sharing.
I think you should have the BIGGEST SURPRISE for your aunt for the history she kept for the family
I enjoy the stories and seeing the old articles and memorabilia can’t wait for the segment 😊
Could listen to you two talk for hours
Love this content.
Two Very unique Individuals , are enjoying the true father/ Mentor all those amazing things . That's exactly what those memories and learnings all worth laughing about.
Dale jr. To set here and Kelly reaction is so entertaining. I love you and mike bantering back and forth . But I think Kelly adds a whole new prospective.
And I think you should put something like this together for your girls from your career. To pass down one of these years. When my wife’s dad passed away . We was handed down scrap books from the 69,70, 71, 72 years of the racing farmers from carruthers California. Ray Elder. My father in-law was Fred Cronk one of the pit crew . Every time we open it the wife starts into stories she remembers about be at the track. Growing up around the elders. Ray and his dad Fred. Oly beer sponsorship and the start of Winston cup .
Just my humble thoughts. Glad I stumbled on to your podcast a couple of years ago. Enjoy it every week.
It’s almost uncanny how things come full circle, the first words some folks ever saw or heard him say went on to be one of the most important pieces of his legacy. Lends credence to the rumors that he could see things happen before they do.
Really good stuff Dale and Kelly , thank you for sharing 🙏
Listening to someone's thought process in the past is so insightful. I am sure you are so very thankful that your sweet aunt saved these articles.
I think this is going to be very good. 🏁
These are great insights. Honestly, I was not a fan of Dale Sr. the racer, but am becoming a fan of Dale Sr. the man and I am coming to appreciate him through learning about his journey through these personal stories. Excellent!
Listen to these stories remind me as a kid at my grandparents house laying in the front seat of the station wagon listen to the race on the radio
Thank you for doing this 😊
I absolutely love this series!
I love these stories thank you both for sharing this.
Cool videos Dale ! Hope to see more of and Kelly !
I’m loving this stuff
It's awesome hearing you read it and also having Kelley's opinion on it good good stuff brother.....
So unbelievable Dale and Bobby in a Photo.
Thanks for sharing these stories!
I love this I remember when he came out he was my favorite driver then it was Dale Junior,. Dale Junior, doing a great job on this and Kelli. Thank you for sharing your dad with us.
Life is a circle..........just like a race track!!! Have a good one and May God bless y'all Bo
Such great stories.awesome job Dale!!!
Love it.
Love this ❤
This is really great stuff. I remember as a kid, growing up in the late 60's and early 70's, that race car drivers and owners wrote articles that were in Stock Car Racing magazine. Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, and Andy Granetteli were a few I remember. The point of view from actual drivers or owners was very interesting.
This is cool hearing it in sr. Own words.👍
I just listened to the download a while ago this is a nice bonus
Awesome, appreciate y'all sharing these treasures
Loved it
I remember March of 1979 it is seared into my memory by a tragic event.
what was it
I've often thought about the similarities between Jr's situation and Sr's. Jr. was on a much larger stage with the world watching but Sr. had his whole world watching, the racing community was much smaller but they all knew who Ralph Earnhardt was were often comparing the two. I started watching in the very late 80's but recently have been watching old races on this platform and it struck me just how much Ken Squire and other announcers would point out that Dale was a second generation driver and comment on Ralph's aggressive driving style, comparing them to each other. When I got into watching it was often on ABC as we didn't have cable and they seemed to be more geared towards open wheels so I didn't even know who Ralph was until the 90's and by that time Dale had won several championships and made his own mark.
I am thrilled you redid the original clippings into modern albums, but understand that newsprint is usually the most highly acidic paper, and will not likely survive Isla and Nicole's generation. This video, and the digitization of these stories are critical. Get them scanned, and shared. Amazing stuff.
love it
I wish I could hit the Like button 4 or 5 times lol that was really enjoyable to listen to can’t wait to hear the rest
Thanks for Sharing.
Great work
Great stuff!!
Good work! Keep it up.
Good stuff ain't it Jr and Kelley.👍
Great family content. I enjoy all of your episodes. Have you thought about having Teresa on for several interviews. She has a wealth of knowledge about your dad, and it would be nice also to hear her take on the whole story. She was a great part of it all, too. I know things weren't ideal for all of you, but I thought it would be nice for her to be able to express her feelings. I can't imagine the sorrow, pain, and pressure she felt after your father's death. I can only imagine how hard is was for all of you to try and keep pushing on. God bless and thank you.
I think Dale probably had a writer with him or he made tape recordings and let editors type it out. Its like he is talking to us and not writing. he did a good job.
Great video!
Glad Kelley’s in on this.,.
Great show ❤
Kelley rules!🤘🏻
I need y’all a good scrapbook person😆
So many pics
Thanks
Wow
Very cool content
🔥
You have to remember that Dale Sr. was a 9th grade drop out. In his own words, "Man, I couldn't hang." Probably, the only time he ever quit on anything besides his first two marriages. Dale was very adamant that Dale Jr. and Kelly finish school to the point of shipping them off to a military academy for a bit. I wish he had gotten his GED, because it would have encouraged a bunch of other folks to do so.
They did not call him "Suitcase" Jake Elder for nothing. Pearson at Holmon-Moody, D. Waltrip, Earnhardt at Osterlund, and Robert Yates were some of the places he worked at won.
Out of all of Dale's Sr.'s kids, I think Kelly favors him the most. He said she was the best driver of the bunch. If she could have had the shot Danica did, no doubt she would have eclipsed Dale Jr.
Amazin I’m having Ruffled with hot salsa at the moment
It seems like Dale became very skilled at media stuff. He was quite good at that sort of thing even if it seemed alien to him at first which is totally understandable.
Jake elder was from my home town.
What sucks about this series is... we have to wait for the next one!
Hope by Episode 3 my eyes will stop leaking.
One of those front clips is a Buick century.,.
XJ4000 loves y’all!😂
He was 28. He still ain’t have no driver’s license 😂😂😂
i'll give it a Ric Flair wooooo!
when i look around and see so many channels with so many... millions of subs... then i look at dale jrs dirty mo.... 356k subs? thats odd to me.... seems it would be a lot higher than 356k subs...
