He is fortunate to have her for a sister.
i agree she probably the reason he is where he is at today
You're right.
They are lucky to have each other for sure. Each gives the other strength.
& life long protector & friend & sister....etc.,......
There very blessed to have each other
Jr’s ability to bear his soul is amazing. You can tell from what he is saying he is trying to hold it together but he is hurt by these things. So much respect for him.
Dale and Theresa treated their kids like crap, for shame
@@ronvonbon I guess that's why he turned into a SJW.
@@ronvonbon i think it was just her I think dale sr loved his kids just loves different.
@@MrChiangching lol tf you mean? Jr? He’s no sjw.
@@yfi62dortoh yes he is
It’s crazy how unstable their childhood was. Their dad was a multi millionaire, yet they were in different schools almost every year. That’s incredibly sad.
I admire their relationship. My heart breaks about their childhood. Still...I'm so glad they shared this part of their lives with all of us. Love yuns.
Malina Willis every interview his relationship with his dad comes up and it’s so heartbreaking to hear. As a race fan I admired Dale Sr and cherished his contribution to the sport. I’m glad Dale Jr, Kelly; and Kerry all turned out to be great people, it’s just hurts to see they were always seeking affection from their dad that they never seemed to get
Wow, I understand so much better why their bond is so tight. Heartbreaking stories, but I love how they supported each other.
SHM over their childhoods. I always thought Dale Jr. raced more for his father's approval than anything. Horrible childhood...with 3 adults to blame....one of the most disturbing things mentioned in this interview was the fact that they had to have families of their own before they could understand how most families operate.
Kids are way too soft these days when they face a tough time they crumble
@@LEG1TBuRNS watching jrs first cup wins and seeing sr showing pride in him. I bet that was the best feeling for jr. Sadly many men especially men's men like Dale was, that was how they were with their kids back then. It's how they were raised. Then many of those kids grew up and took it to the extreme opposite and here we are now. A bunch of whiny snowflakes with safe spaces being raised.
It’s pretty obvious that even all these years later, there is A LOT of emotional baggage that got unpacked in this episode. Jr and Kelly deserve so much credit for Not raising they’re kids the same way they were treated and for breaking the cycle of neglect and or abuse. Which is exactly what Sr and Teressa did. You two are kind and decent folks. Kind regards C.
Damn she's a seriously protective sister. Both are fortunate to have each other. Must've been rough.
Dale jr comes across as a very caring person and his sister watches out for him it seems like they have a great relationship
Kelley is a Beautiful, Smart, Powerful Woman !!! A True Rock Star ⭐️
Ford Super Duty Agreed..imagine if she had run DEI instead of Theresa? Geez DEI would’ve been a top cup team.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Kelley and Dale Jr bought out Teresa and make DEI the most dominant cup team going. Jr Motor sports could provide the drivers.
Ford Super Duty Definitely
@@ChuckD351 DEI is a Dale Sr museum now.
IDK about beautiful. Moderatly attractive at best.
The way Jr just lays it out and bears it is something to behold. He's amazing. Kelly's love for Jr is unbelievable in a modern world.
I'm blessed to have a wonderful sister like that. I feel for the people that don't. I really do.
Can we all take a minute and appreciate both Kelly and Dale being so honest with extremely personal memories/information. Great interview 🙏🏻
Say what you want, but they were raised in a dysfunctional home. You can tell by the way Kelley and Dale Jr. speak of there youth not just in this interview, but in other videos I have seen . Nonetheless, seems like Kelley and Dale Jr. helped to raise each other. You can tell both are good people.
Agreed.
Well I mean you have to factor in how terrible of a person Teresa was and how dale sr was a very tough and probably hard on dale jr and on top of that the traveling schedule of a racer is insane
Now just imagine a poor family with a dad in jail and a drug addict for a mom. You think this is dysfunctional smh 🤦🏻♂️.
Fame comes with a price that has to be paid by the children of the famous. But does it compare to kids growing up in a home where the family is poor, the dads a violent drunk and the moms in jail for writing hot checks no! Dysfunction is going to the norm in a family of fame or wealth, its almost impossible to maintain wealth and fame being around the house all of the time.
I can't say Dale Sr did a bad job at parenting his kids. Dale Jr and Kelley turned into amazing, down to earth, good, successful, wonderful people so I can't blame Sr for being a disciplinarian they turned out right. But when the kids were doing good even though Teresa was the stepmom, she should've done a better job at accepting Jr and Kelley as her children and at providing a loving home so that Jr and Kelley didn't feel like strangers growing up in the family home and within the family unit.
Gosh these things are flat 💯 aren't they?
Jr, owes a lot to Kelly and he is smart enough acknowledge that. I never knew she was so attractive, her strength and brains are obvious.
She is the brains behind Jr. Motorsports.
They're very forgiving. The more I learn about Jr., the more Impressed I am with him as a man. Kelly and Kerry are very grounded people. Just impressed with all 3.
I mean Dale Jr and Kelly turned out great they both seem like humble down to earth people
I haven't been the same since my older sister, (also named Kelly) passed away early from an aneurism. This show brings her back to me. My mentor, my protector, my cheerleader, unconditional love personified. 🥺
Sympathy
I'm sure Teresa had a big say in many of those decisions. Just look at how she's treated them since Dale passed.
Sadly Teresa still thinks of them as kids and they're in their mid 40's now.
da324 Agreed! She’s the evil stepmother of every child’s nightmares!
If Dale Sr didn't have the balls to put Teresa in her place over his kids then that is on him as well. He sounded like a good dad sending a gasman to pick up his daughter.
No I’m pretty sure that was Dale’s decision to send Jr to military school. Dale Earnhardt dropped out in the 9th grade and he didn’t want any of his children doing the same
Teresa actually wanted to try public school or another private school. Earnhardt was a hard ass for a dad, he gave them the belt for any disobedience. If Earnhardt put his foot down Teresa obeyed. Teresa taught him business ideas, Earnhardt made the calls, thus why everything crashed when he died
"We saved each other."
Because of their relationship with their Dad, they really did.
what a terrific sister . shes a treasure
You have the best sister in the world Dale
Awesome sister Dale
Somewhere out there, there's going to be someone going through that same dynamic right now. Hopefully they'll hear you guys and realize that they aren't alone in it. Thanks for your candor.
awesome Dale and Kelley are still helping one another
Dale Jr might be the most likeable person on the planet.
Can you imagine? A knock on your door, and you open it to see Dale Earnhardt asking for his daughter?😨 Wouldn’t want to be that boy
Nope! 😂😂😂
Zachariah depends I was 6'3 200 at 15 wasn't worried about anyone's dad
@@hurricane4548 That's called being young and dumb. Dale Sr. was "The Intimidator", "The Man in Black", "Ironhead"....He would have throat punched you. 😂
Yeah That is kind of what I was thinking. Dale was this tall lanky guy with this arrogant and intimidating look. Not sure I would have wanted to be on the other side of that door that day.
@@hurricane4548 size does not mean a damn on how big you are but yea I was same size at same age and got brave
What a great story. It’s great they are so open about their lives. Respect.
I love how caring, nice, and beautiful Dale's sister is, I had a big sis like that also made growing up a little easier
Dale Jr is blessed to have Kelley as his sister and best friend in his life.
I just adore Kelly. She reminds me of my big Sis. Dale Jr. is lucky to have her for a sister... and she's lucky to have him for a brother. Good people!
I absolutely love how positive you both are.
True big sister,/little brother relationship. Thank you Kelley.♥️
Kelley’s love and devotion to Jr is inspiring.
The 3 kids love each other
Dale i think you are an amazing man and great husband and father. Love the storys about your family and father
I could listen to these stories all day. True and uncut.. absolutely awesome. Thank you Dale and Kelly.. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.
E.A.G.L.E.S....... EAGLES!!!!!!
Amazing video. Kelly you are awesome taking care of Dale,
I can relate...to seeking friendships and getting overly excited and getting in trouble at school.
I can relate to the having a rocky relationship with dad and stepmom.
I can also relate...I certainly have the wicked witch for a step mother....She’s one evil evil person
Thank you for the famous Kelly.
Always 1 of my most favorite people in NASCAR. She's an anchor.
There she is ...Miss Kelly! Gosh I just Love her so much for what she did for me and my wife!!! We will never EVER forget it! We love you guys so much!
THAT WAS PERFECTLY SAID , ABOUT LIFE GROWING UP ..... I WAS THERE MY SELF ..
Look at it this way. Both of you wound up awesome adults and the bond between you two can never be broke.
How sweet these two are. Bless their hearts. Love hearing them talk about how close they are.
This is kinda heartbreaking!!!
I couldn't imagine putting my kids through something like this. And I'm a pretty strick father but always make sure my kids know they are ALWAYS my #1 priority and focus.
I'd pick military school over having Teresa as a stepmom 😝
tell me more !!!
Yeah but I’d have banged every which way
@@davidrose2704 you would bang Jr? sinner..............
Yep, military school sounds more appealing!
Zoomer30 me too Theresa treated him badly after Dale Sr died... she’s an evil stepmom!
I could listen to Kelley and Dale tell stories all day
Love Dale jr. and Kelly for sharing with us. Makes me appreciate the success that they inherited more so. They paid for it!
My Dad was of the same generation as Dale Sr. I can relate to Kelly and Dale Jr. both on how their Dad disciplined them and how he showed his feelings during it. I get it.
“Oh that was Chocolate driving Dads truck!” Haha. Just when I thought Jr was gonna say how emotional he got to Kelly.
This is probably my favorite DJD podcast! You have to get Kelly back again! Lol. Love the videos keep up the great work!!
I was at Missouri military academy in 1974 best thing my parents ever did for me
Kelly is awesome. Such a sweet and caring person.
Kelley is the best sister you could ever imagine ❤️.
I had mentioned a Dale and Kelley show a while back. I gained a tremendous amount of respect for her during the move for Dale to HMS from DEI. She really had Dale's back all those years and after watching this it seems for many years before then. Sometimes family is the greatest of things. Thank you guys.
Kelley has her dads intense eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her whole face is Dale Sr.....
@@nicholasjohnson6724 yea sadly lol
Seeing and listening to Kelly makes me sometimes wish I had had an older sister. Junior was fortunate to have her growing up.
They need to do a podcast with Kerry, and Taylor included. These stories are awesome.
Love this interview with Dale Jr. And Kelley.
This show needs more Kelly
I love this family like they were mine!! Dale would be a fun person to be around and Kelly would be a wonderful person to talk with.
Love this podcast because I have a big sister that was huge influence, protector for me growing up. MORE KELLEY EARNHARDT RACING MERCH !
Its great that J.R has a great older sister too look out for him!
"I wonder if they'll go easy on me this time". lol I can relate.
Watching these podcasts I can see why Little E was so beloved by the NASCAR community.
I really think before Dale passed away he was starting to try to make up for lost time but that just goes to show u should never wait, just really glad to see Jr had his sister.
Kelley seems super cool and seems like she would/does have a real good business brain. I'm guessing that she may be a big part of the financial side of Jr's career. Good on her.
I believe she is Jr's business partner. She's an unbelievably talented woman! Salt of the Earth!
Knowing that dale jr and his sister were right beside each other through the hard times really is heartwarming , Dale jr said if he didn’t have her he would have lost it long time ago
Heartbreaking. The mistakes we make as fathers.
Dale Jr is a exemplary model as to show no mistakes were made. Do not raise your child to be spoilt brats like todays age ~ that is truly heartbreaking.
@@shanehodges6980 Sr. was an absolutely garbage father. He didnt show Jr. the love he needed until Jr. was already driving and winning in NASCAR. Jr. has been very open that he never felt appreciated until he was already an adult and winning in racecars.
Jr. and Kelley are incredible people for becoming the people they are *in spite* of their father. Sr. made all kinds of mistakes and episodes like this show how his kids were negatively affected by his actions.
I think this has definitely been one of the best ones yet.
My dad was a hard ass to and very strict also, it was like growing up in Marine Corps boot camp. But looking back now I'm glad he was, it has made me who I am today and I needed the discipline. Good stories thanks for sharing.
It's one thing to be a hard ass and strict, it's a totally different thing to not even be around when you're needed. Tough love is hard but necessary. No love is inexcusable.
1956 and starting the 6Th grade my parents sent me to military school and we did not go home on the week ends. I knew Jr went to Military school and I relate.
When I hear Junior and Kelley speak of and about each other, it really is a special deal. She's got his back, and he, hers. They've had to be loyal to each other, when no one else stepped up. God bless them for being a constant in each others lives, instead new variables.
I think the mindset has definitely shifted through generations. The hurtful parts removed in favor of more positive reinforcements.
Looking back throughout history, considering facts like the Great Depression, Spanish Flu, The Civil War, I can’t imagine how serious life was back then.
Not so long ago I asked a 95 year old friend what he thinks has changed most throughout his life.
He quickly replied, “That is simple. Nobody has to work anymore. I remember clear back to when I was three years old. I had to put the work in or I didn’t eat. May have been small tasks. Pulling weeds out of the garden, or picking the garden,feeding the chickens things to that nature but it was work and we did it all day long or we didn’t eat.”
That frame of mind is so much more serious than what we live these days.
My father was raised by uncles after a stormy broken home between his parents.
I got a chance to meet those uncles when I was 12. They were as stern and serious as any prison warden portrayed on television.
One in particular seemed to be exactly like the warden on Shawshank.
So yes, my upbringing was much the same with my father. No if’s ands or buts, everything brought forth consequences. The few successes were minimized.
About the only thing I could do well was run very fast and that didn’t last forever. When I started getting out run in junior high that was about it.
I now call it being raised by anxieties.
I loved this podcast Kelley is such a strong/awesome woman it's rare to see a sibling have that much love for their other sibling. Jr has always been awesome and my hero but Kelley and Amy have made him the guy I hope to ever be.
Kelley is one impressive person!....Glad to see she is being interviewed by Jr, Kyle Petty
I don't care how famous your dad is, it's sad that he didn't have time for his kids.
So sad, never thought about their childhoods😔😔😔😔😔
This unedited version was a LOT more detailed than the version that appeared on NBCSN. I would LOVE to see the whole interview unedited.
many of us would, I would pay to see the complete interview, not just hear it on podcast
you can listen to them on any major podcast platform.
I could listen to you two all day,
Dale and Kelly, I know your father is so proud of you both !
I love hearing Dale talk, he and I were a lot alike in school, and our approach to other kids
I remember those groundments ,my dad was ex-military, u get in trouble u lost everything, no outside, tv ,radio phone, lights out @ 1900 ,he would give a book an say boy u better know what its about when ur groundments up
Kelley is amazing and Dale is fortunate to have her as his sister.
It’s awesome to see these 2 together, you can tell she’s very protective of her little brother as she should be. I have a 9 year old granddaughter and she’s the same way with her 7 year old little brother..it’s inspiring to see that.
I enjoy Kelley and Dale stories.
That lady right there is as loyal as you will ever find again in this lifetime . Beleive that!!!
Love it!!
Thanks for opening up your life to us!!
Opening up to your fans like this is why you & your family is loved!!
I'm looking forward to the next episodes of The 'Dale & Kelley Life Stories'
Thank You!!
"I was the last thing on his mind" That hurt me a little
Man Dale Jr. I sure appreciate you and your sister talking on here. I have feelings of connection to all of you and to be able to hear your stories of childhood etc. Is pretty darn cool. All the best from Missouri. Thanks for doing this show.
Man, I enjoy the HELL out of listening to your stories about your Dad and your time growing up. Thank you so much for sharing these very personal stories.
What they are saying is that it wasn’t intentional or “mean”, Dale Earnhardt simply did not even think about going to see his son that had been at military school for a month. It did not enter his mind. All he thought about was RACING. Honestly, that’s probably how it was until Taylor Nicole was born and he got in his 40s. Whew, that’s tough. I honestly think even Big E would tell you that. In fact, he did say something like he always picked racing over everything else.
This show this year has taken it to another level with all these awesome guests! One of the best podcasts out right now 👍
Love the conversation Dale. I appreciate you all sharing.
Wish I had a sister like that
I know how felt Dale Jr. I was 4ft 11 inches. From the age 11 until I was almost 23
Thank God you and Kelly turned out to be such wonderful people. I had a Dad that was a disciplinarian like your Dad.
You two are the true definition of family.
Reminds me of my dad. One time he grounded me & my dog.😂 I miss dad & love him.
I wish I had a sister that cared about me that way Kelley , you are and always will be a special person ,like a ANGEL there to take care of a special person ,both of Ya'll are real ,and special, stay close to each other love you both ,Ya'll made it great people .
Listened to this podcast
Dale Sr. Great racer, but not a very loving father, misspent priorities. Sucks, but glad to see they are still watching out one another.
David Lusk I would not say a not very loving father cause if he didn’t love any of the kids he wouldn’t of cared if they even went to school.
@@JLC87420 i always heard he didn't want his kids ending up like him. Other drivers would pick on big E because he was a drop out. Everyone wants their kids to be better then them. But facts, and displays of the past prove he wasn't really into the kids lives, self absorbed is what drove him to the top. I enjoyed watching him him back in the day as well. But story after story that's coming out from his children prove, dad wasnt a great father.
David Lusk different generation of raising kids I suppose. Just cause they don’t show it or act like it doesn’t mean they don’t but whatever I was raised by the same type of father. At the end of the day it’s what they think of him not anyone else and they have lots of love for him with a lot of hurt feelings as well.
@@JLC87420 very true, always have love and respect 4 our parents!!
David Lusk they don’t always deserve it
There's nothing more Real in this platform than the #DaleJrDownload. The family casserole dynamic brings every pot on the stove to a boil. Every ingredient on here makes it great. Thank you, all!
Thanks for sharing your personal details of your young life very neat to hear you and your sisters side of it of how it was. I never pictured you guys having these situations in your life.
One of the best episodes I've seen.
Thank god these two had each other ❤
