- It's been a long time coming! Finally, racing legend Darrell Waltrip joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis at the table for a much anticipated two-part interview. Waltrip talks of his early years with Bud Moore, struggling on the track, and more.
Listen to the full DJD episode with DW on dirtymomedia.com or any podcasting platform.
I guess ill tell the short version of this story here. Im a cable guy and got a service call for DW! I showed up to his house and his wife invited me right in. I went back to DWs office and talked with him about his issue etc. I quickly fixed his issue and then came back to tell him what the issue was. We ended up talking racing for a while and how he got started in it, etc.. He then showed me his personal car collection, one being a ZR1 corvette, which is one of my dream cars! He was actually going to take me for a ride in it, but his wife came out and said they were hungry and wanted to go to lunch :(. I settled for a picture and a autograph though! Very nice down to earth guy! He even gave me a $100 tip! Just wanted to share that story as it was cool to meet a celebrity who wasn't stuck up and took time to converse with a lowly cable guy!
i realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch new movies online?
@Kashton Cory Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!
@Khalil Layton Glad I could help xD
Neat story! I can’t hardly believe all the comments are about trying to find a movie channel though… lol
@@waggtech4883 its just some scam bots lol
Holy cow we need DW back on the show soon! So many stories told and so many more yet to be told! Hope you guys invite him back!
Yes
I can't believe how good Jr. is at interviewing his guests, leading them seamlessly through the conversation bc that's what he turns it into (a conversation). Dale keep up the fantastic work!!!
He's big on the history, so it just works
I think from growing up watching him. Dale enjoys talking the stuff more then driving... On top of that he grew up around these guys. and i assume looked up to many of them. and now some like DW look up to him. not with the same aw. but at how dale sr, and Jr helped revoltionize the sport. and how even after racing Dale makes his own way of spreading good will. Ontop of that these guys also like to talk about all these stories. it all goes hand in hand. they are not interviewing Polititians on some agenda. they are just sitting around talking with buddies.
He’s very gifted at this..this is his wheelhouse
Jr is a NASCAR historian.
@@fredsullivan2777 absolutely
This is why Darrell Waltrip is my favorite person in nascar
Amen
I had the pleasure to meet DW at his home one day(im a cable guy)! His whole family is very nice and they are down to earth people. I talked to him for probably 30 min about alot of different stuff in between fixing his TV. I got a picture with him and he gave me an autograph to boot! He is exactly who he seems to be in interviews and is a good man.
DW was kind of like a Kyle Busch but with less temper tantrum and more tact. I was never a huge fan but will always respect his accomplishments and genuine love for the sport. My most favorite memory of DW was the season he drove Steve Parks car for DEI and showing a relationship with Dale Sr. That was really cool. Junior, I sure hope you have more stories coming with DW!
I loved his feistiness particularly against Richard Petty and Dale Sr.
The driver who passed away in the 1973 Talledega race where Bobby Issac heard the voices telling him to "stop or else" & pulled over in the middle of the race, was Larry Smith. He was the rookie of the year in 1972.
DW is an absolute treasure.Miss hearing him as an announcer still nowadays,but he has definitely earned his retirement after all these years contributing to the sport.
Darrell is aging well and his voice is still strong. Glad to see that. Miss you calling races DW
For those who don’t know it was 1972 ROTY Larry Smith who was killed in the 1973 Talladega 500.
thanks man .
My avatar is the street version of yours. Best car I ever had. Was a Franklin county Va. shine car.
Thanks for the information. I had forgotten about that wreck.
NASCAR has them so bunched up now, I surprised more hasn’t been killed there. Daytona has had there share as well.
@@slowpoke7759
That looks like one badass car. I dream of having one but I have a 1970 Pontiac Catalina so I’m not complaining.
@@superbird4351 That still was a high powered car. Most came with a 455 cubic inch, 380-390hp. Most people these days have no idea what a big block Mopar, Ford or GM actually was.
A GTO with a 389 and 6 pack and 4 speed was truly remarkable.
About as crazy as the 1968 Dodge Dart GTS with a 383 4bbl and a 4 speed with posi-trac was a dangerous car.
If this factory cars had factory ground effects on them back in the day.
Heaven knows how fast they would have run. But the brakes had not caught up with those kinds of cars back at that time.
@@slowpoke7759
Mine has a 400 with a 2 barrel carb, and makes 290 hp and 420 lbf of torque. I got it only a few months ago, but it runs like a monster. The 3 speed auto really gets the power down quick.
DW probably has no idea how close he came to death one day back in the early 2000's flying into Florence Regional Airport for a race at Darlington. (He was an announcer by then) N500DW (his King Air) came within mere feet of colliding with a helicopter while on final approach to the airport. It was a pilot and air traffic controller screw up that very few people ever knew about. I wont go into details here,... but I'm glad he is still here with us. He is a great story teller.
So you know something about DW's own life that he doesn't know?
@@bigelile07 He's better off for not knowing !
You can win races by a fraction of an inch, and you can also win fans that way too. The first race I ever attended was the 1977 Rebel 500 at Darlington. I still remember screaming at the top of my lungs as Darrell, Richard Petty, and Bobby Allison crossed the finish line almost at the same time. The 88 Gatorade Chevy won (I think it was with the DiGard team) and DW had a fan for life. Many, many more races, wins, and memories followed. Thanks, Darrell. We love ya, brother.
DW may seem "old", but his soul is older. He's got some true wisdom.
a true treasure
He has that sparkle in his eyes that nascar is missing now a days.. miss the days of watching DW, rusty, Dale sr with my old man
I was never a huge fan of DW, however I respect and appreciate what he accomplished and what he contributed to the sport. I must say I listened to the podcast and the tv broadcast tonight. I really enjoyed his stories, the inside info and behind the scenes stories are what make this podcast really great. Thanks to DW for coming on and thanks to Dale and everyone at Dirty Mo for having so many great guests and continually putting out great content. Looking forward to next season.
Me too, never been a fan of DW. But always enjoy his stories and perspectives, fan or not that dude is a legend.
I paved someone’s parking lot and the mans dad was on that drivers pit crew who parked. Coolest story I’ve ever heard about racing and it’s SO DOPE to hear the story from these guys confirming
I adore DW. My very favorite since the 80's.
If only this sport had drivers and cars from DWs era, the sport would have fans again.
They would all be so frail they would die significantly easier than someone who was young, sure it sounds great until you realize how much weaker your body gets with age unless you are an absolute health/workout but.
... just why SMOKE should’ve/could’ve been driving back then... 💯
@@CorruptInfinityOfficial pretty sure he meant in their prime.
I didn't know how much I missed DW's voice until now.
I really miss darrell on tv I love the stories
DW It would be nice to see him stop by the track give us some laughs. I miss him so much.
I'm a huge fan of this show. But even as Bud Moore's great grandson, this was the first time I'm hearing this story. This is cool.
I miss him calling the races today. He was a lot like Benny Parsons. He would be trying to drive while calling the race. Sometimes his point blank remarks at certain tracks, NASCAR didn’t like at times.
DW in the #1 Pennzoil Chevrolet for Dale Sr. was just proof as to how good of a driver and how competitive that he was.
that was the ride he had after the Tabasco fiasco I think.
@@williamselzer1722 yes, when he subbed for Steve Park after his Atlanta crash.
Man I love DW’s heart, his transparency, his stories. I want to listen to this guy every week!
Grew up watching DW in Nashville..Since 1970. Many great memories w/ my Dad.
My family loves D.W. and we love to listen to D.W. tell Dale Earnhardt stories. D.W. the fans miss ya. and man, they done turned our beloved Nascar into a circus, talking play offs? and any random driver can win a championship by fluke luck? holy moly D.W. - its a mess son. us older folks don't understand none of it..so we walked away with our dollars and sense. hey say hello to Mikey and let him know we the fans still love him. ya'll Stay Healthy and Well.
Man,i didn't want this show to end!just watching the half hour show on tv and boy,i swear i just feel like I'm almost there with y'all! I love hearing about your daddy and D.W's and your stories, I laugh,and yeah,i shed a tear and still miss Dale and the big 3 out there!!! Please keep them stories and great guests a comin!!! Thanks again guys!
Jr, undoubtedly the best guest since SMOKE in 2 plus years. Thank you Dirty Mo 💯
I can still see him flying around California in Steve Park's car leading laps late in his career....
Forgot all about that!
Seen him in the #1 at Pocono..
Haha I was at that race! He was and still is my favorite driver
Hello from Ireland I have a 1/24 of that car when waltrip drove it
This is one podcast I would love to see in a video. DW can tell a story, but he's at his best when you can watch him tell the stories.
Love listening to Waltrips, Pettys, Elliotts, awesome podcasts.
I always love to see what a fan of historic NASCAR Dale Jr. is. I miss the old school as much as he does!
Always enjoy listening to D.W. His way of telling them are so entertaining. True gentleman. God bless you Darrell.
The guest I've been waiting for, I could listen to this guy night and day, god i wanna sleep on his couch!
only one other person close to DW for me. I could also listen to Junior Johnson tell stories. i really wish he didn't get cut short on his HOF speech. loved it all. both men could really tell a story
My favorite driver. Since 1978. My first race Richmond VA. old DW. thx for the great racing. Dale bringing DW on is great. Thx. DW. B
DW and Jr Two of the Best. Thanks Jr and Dirty Mo
Anyone who likes early NASCAR should be listening to/watching these podcasts. Between Dale Jr and his guests it's like a library full of NASCAR history
You youngsters need to listen to that man and how he knew he was great, but still remains humble about it to this very day. I love Ole DW, along with many others who knew they were the ones who could do it, but never ever let it go to their heads. Now I'm not saying you younger ones are all that way, but there are many who need to pay attention. Superb video D J. Take care. Jpol.
I could listen to him all day. A really unique man.
MY first Nascar Race ever - 1980 Atlanta Motor Speedway - 15 years old and blown away, everybody was talking about Darrell Waltrip won Riverside and Richmond, this is his year....DiGard is the new "win at all costs" team. I was from Georgia, so naturally we were pulling for Bill Elliot! BUT then this Blue and Yellow Monte Carlo looking thing just took off and it was at that point I was a fan of Dale Earnhardt. I still pulled for Awesome Bill for Dawsonville, but it was Dale that made it Awesome. I think Daryl blew a seal that day and No, it is not the ones that swim in the ocean! Great times!!!
I am huge fan of DW's . One of the very best. Love his stories. Nascar will never be the same without him
No one else could get all the great guests. They shows the respect they all have for Jr
DW is a national treasure.
That man Dw is a National Treasure. He is one hell of a nice guy off even when he doesn't have to be. He made my dad's year by calling him and telling him happy birthday one night when I seen him out at a restaurant/bar during one of the Dover Race weekends. He made another fan for life that day.
DW is just one of my favorites.
Great interview. We Tennessee boys still love DW.
Junior, best damn interview you’ve ever done, bar none! Can’t wait to see the rest of it!💫
Absolutely love me some DW with some Dale Jr!!!!
Nashville is my home town track i ran the 1/4 mile track back in 05 and 06 won points champion
The Waltrip brothers are always good NASCAR entertainment.
How can anyone not just love DW! He has been such a gift to the sport all around. We need a couple more episodes with DW before its too late and all those stories are lost @DirtyMoMedia @DaleJr
DW is a trip. Lots of history from early 70s on up
Great stuff Dale!! Bring back Darrell for more stories! Love it!!
Thanks Dale Jr., I could sit and listen to DW talk about all his Nascar experiences all day. Great show
I live in franklin tn, met DW a bunch of times.over the years....THE NICEST, DOWN TO EARTH GUY, seen him run to catch doors for waitresses with full hands.
Thanks for letting us see two of Hall of Famers talking about the good old days.
I haven't heard his voice since the day he announced his broadcast retirement. Darrell will forever be our jaws of nascar.
DW is great to listen to after being disliked then loved and he knows he was disliked and can laugh about it now.
Oh man. Finally!!!! DW has been my favourite since I was a 6 year old boy watching with my Dad... I cheered for him because my Mom used Tide laundry soap lol.
I never had anything against DW but I got tired of him in the booth. But, now, I have a lot more respect for him after hearing his stories. What a great story teller!
Never was there in person, but watching on TV, Nashville was my favorite track. Never saw a bad race there in any series. The Cup cars quit going there sometime in the 80s, but the BGN cars were there every year for many years after and I always looked forward to that race and the All-American 400, which used to be run just about this time of year (Thanksgiving) after the regular NASCAR season was over. Agree with Dale Jr, they need to bring that back, especially now Nashville is a big sports town with the hockey team and the NFL. If the Predators an be a big attraction in Nashville, which they have become, there's no reason NASCAR can't run a race there again and make a lot of money. It's a major league town, which you wouldn't have said back in the 80's. It was a perfect race track for stock cars.
Love DW.
So happy and proud of all your good work Dale Jr.!! Keep it going!
I can still remember watching him in his 17 Western Auto car, and sucking soooo bad he couldn't make the show because he had already used up all his provisionals and begging Dale Sr (Dale Sr's words) to drive Steve Park's car. I can still remember when he dumped Davey Allison, nearly killing him and everyone hating him for years.
I am going to check out the podcast for the rest of this. I could listen to D.W. and Dale Jr. talk early NASCAR racing all day long. This was excellent!
Fittingly, this video is 11 minutes and 11 seconds long🤘
I’ve grown to appreciate DW!
Even if you dont like Darrell waltrip....you have to give it up to him...hes one of the pioneers of nascar...he can drive a race car...I grew up watching the battles on the race track every weekend...
God bless you Dale.
I became a NASCAR fan in the late 60's. Would only get to see the occasional race on Wide World Of Sport I remember sending away for a NASCAR membership for a couple bucks you got a couple stickers, an official card and some other swag.
I love hearing these stories from DW. Not only for the memories of the racing but for that time period in general. I sure miss the 70's.
I grew up in the late 80's/early 90's NASCAR era and I always remember DW as this solid race driver who always did the funny/goofy interviews before/after the race. Imagine my shock when my Dad came through and once told that that very same guy used to be one of the most hated drivers in NASCAR. And just for the record: My Dad was a Bobby Allison (later Davey Allison) fan.
I am not even a NASCAR fan, but I love racing and this interview is great. Keep up the good work Jr.
What a treasure DW is! I never rooted for Darrell as a driver, but it's hard not to love this guy.
More DW & Larry MAC!
My mother hated jaws but she loves DW
Best auto racing content on the internet!
Good show.
A good story teller allows the listener to be where the story is being told from. Details, after details, the story becomes a short memory- that the brain compiles together. All of this happens because of the details. Grab a drink and sit and listen. It just might change your life.
Confidence is what DW had for racing. Love is what kept everyone around him.
Need DW and Mikey on there! Love this and you can see the passion DW had/has for this sport!
Legend in the booth& the track!
Top five PODCAST, Nice job guys..👍
Darrell seems like a genuine person
dale that should have been a two or three hour special . l loved every minute of it and l miss D.w jaws . maine
Love old racing story's. 🏁
This is the one interview I've been waiting for
God Bless Darrell Waltrip.
Great stuff ! I love hearing DW talk about the old days.
great show ,all 3 people contributed to a great interview ,the big interview in the 2021 season would be dale jr with michael jordan
Awesome interview... love D.W. !!!!!
That story about Bobby Isaac at Talladega is true. It was the final lap and suddenly Bobby started hearing this voice saying it was gonna kill him, so Bobby dove into the pits, parked the car and jumped out. Loosing the race. This would wind up in the movie: DAYS OF THUNDER. Harry Hyde would talk about it to Cole.
Love the Dale Jr. Interviews.
cant wait for part two thanks Dale Love DW maybe that Voice was God
Thanks Jr.
This is why I've been a DW fan since 1983. I saw him win at Nashville fairgrounds in my 1st cup race. I was 6 years old and been a fan ever since. And nascar does need to come back to Nashville. The superspeedway in Lebanon sucks. There is nothing like a race at the fairgrounds
Thank god Jr stopped when he did. That brain is a national treasure of memories.
This man is a national treasure
DW.The man. No other like him!
Can’t wait for part 2! I know it’d be hard, but it’d be great if you could have 2 drivers to sit in at once and have a bull session. Say DW and Michael...or pair up some others that you know would make a great segment.
I'm not even a race fan, and I enjoy this.
Absolutely love these old stories..
Nascar was just all around better back then
Yes my dream video is finally here
Jr. This was a great interview
As much as DW and his boogety got on my nerves his stories are awesome. Dirty Mo this is about the only thing NASCAR I listen to nowadays. Love all the history and am sure there are lots more so don’t ever apologize again Dale
