That part made you tear up ?the whole f****** thing made me cry the whole time I was crying but like the guy before me said don't ever change Dale jr. you are one-of-a-kind and great human being and I love you dude
I’m 43, my little brother and I have our picture with Dale Sr. outside of the driver meeting building, infield at Bristol, we were 12 and 10 yrs old. #Memories
I started crying when he was talking about his daughter. He's such a sweet guy and I love how happy he is. Deep down I feel like I would give anything if he would run a season of Xfinity or something in the future, but I also would never want him to be less happy not being able to be with his family as much. As fans we can be pretty selfish, but I am glad he's happy. Really touching stuff
I think Amy had alot to do with him retiring. It's not necessarily a bad thing either because I'm sure she knows what's best for him and the family. I just feel if it wasn't for her he would still be racing.
Rob I personally have so much respect for him for retiring from full time, had he not done that we could have possibly lost another amazing human. We just all want to be loved.
Well I’m 54 and that made me cry Dale!!! That’s never happened for a race car driver. Except for your dad and I don’t think any true fan is over that yet.?? Thank you for the great time!!!! I wish you were still out there but life changes. We all understand it. Very Cool
Thank you Junior for all that you have shouldered to bring excitement to the sport. You have lived most of your life in a glass bowl with everyone tapping on it to see what you will do next. You are a true hero, role model, and legend. You have carried the memory and history of your last name with complete honesty, passion, and selflessness . Enjoy your time now celebrate your accomplishments, live in the moments, feel the freedom to be you.
I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!! The shout out to his dad is what really got me. Jr you are truly a good man and I will always root for you and your family. Keep up the good work.
I am so glad that Jr. was able leave racing and take up the life he's living now. There was so much pressure on him from the time he was a youngster up until he ended his career as a full-time driver. I've come to understand Jr. better by virtue of his "Dirty Mo Media" endeavors and I must say there's so much more to Jr. than anyone can realize on the surface. I'm so happy for for Jr. and his marriage, and that love he's so vocal about for his daughter. I hope he has a long and fruitful life with his family he loves.
When Junior was talking about being indifferent about other people’s kids, and then be blown away by his daughter; that hit home. You made me laugh out loud because I didn’t get it until I became a father. Thanks for the memories Junior.
You can tell how much Racing means to him and how bad he wants to be back in a car but he cares more about his family then Racing I think that’s something he learned from his dad
ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK dude they literally clashed because Jr was to much like Sr, his sister Kelly and his older brother Kerry have stated that on numerous docs that Jr was a spitting image and your absolutely dumb if you think Sr didn’t love his kids he was hard on them because he loved them so much
@@fullbackdive41 just wondering? Spitting image in what way ? To me Kerry looks more like Sr . than Dale Jr. Unless you're talking about the way they act then I have no clue about that. I've only seen what I've seen on TV....
You're so lucky. Not because your dad was Dale Earnhardt, but because you had a father that truly cared about you. Not all of us are that lucky. Bee grateful, very grateful.
Oh yeah, I'm sure his dad would love his tweets comparing his family to illegal aliens.I'm sure his dad would love Jr tweeting support for the thugs that kneel for the flag that gave JR all riches.I'm sure his dad would be proud that POS Jr never won a championship even though he had anything he wanted in that fucking sport. You sheep are the reason why this country is almost full on Communist.
Dontae Willson why are you here? Some people do not and won't care for politics! Why are you on this channel commenting negative remarks if you hate Jr so bad! Get lost if you can't stand the man so much! Bye!
Nothing in life defines a man more than the priority he places on the importance of his family. Jr is clearly one of the best drivers of his generation, he a proven businessman as well as a talented broadcaster. But it is his relationship with his wife and daughter that truly makes him an amazing man and someone that is truly a roll model.
17:35 "It felt like a damn win" That says it all right there for how much he misses it. I hope he knows how important he was, is and always will be to NASCAR. Thanks for one last ride, Dale.
You are a good man Dale Jr!! And a legend right up there with your father and Richard Petty. You will always be loved. Thdnk you and Amy for sharing yalls life with us. We love Kelly and Kerry as well. And your grandmother. Wish I could remember your grandfather.
I'm a 70 year-old man. It's just dawn Saturday morning. I am sitting here in my office, Buster the dog in his bed behind me, tears flowing down my cheeks. Why? Why, I ask myself. There is no one answer. This DE Jr. film should --and needs to--win an award. And I don't know if there is an Awards Category for films like this. There is no one thing that causes my tears: my tears flow from the build-up of memories, love, family, devotion, happiness--and all of these were part of Jr and his wife--as well as his fans. Every one of these emotions was displayed by Junior and mirrored by his fans. The production of this little film is at the highest level of cinematography. Whomever the director, producer, and film editor is should feel proud of this accomplishment. This former race driver continues to grow. As we say down South, "good on ya."
He made me tear up talking about his family and it made me really appreciate how lucky I am! Jr is loved because he's has always been so human , no other driver since Richard Petty has been so LOVED! Win lose or draw, he is a person to be admired,in what ever he does!
Jeez here I am a 25 year old grown man crying at a video on UA-cam. Thanks dale. Watched you as a kid. You held me and my own father close as we would go to races together. Your more than just a driver to us. Thanks for all the years.
Thank you Dale, appreciate you letting us be a part of your life. You seem to be realizing that with allowing us to be a part of your Darlington weekend not only your father, but you whole family has impacted millions. Thank you
Beautifully done, and glad to know how much that meant to him. It was an honor to be there that weekend. Kudos for making sure the shot of Junior's "Darlington Stripe" made the cut. #JustTheRightAmount
You are well-loved Junior. Don't ever forget that. You seem like the nicest most laid-back guy in the world. I never got to see your dad drive or you drive. Except in the Pace truck for the 2019 Daytona 500. Your life is complete now you had a great career as a driver you have a beautiful wife a beautiful daughter who by the way looks just like your dad. You seem very happy with your life right now good for you. And don't think you ever have to measure up to your dad. You are your own man and you are a good one.🤗🙂😍
This kid I’ve loved for years he’s been amazing to watch I’ve wanted to meet him my whole life still do jr. nation forever 8 or 88 he’s always my favorite driver he made nascar for me forever and always dale from front this super-fan from Kansas I wish you your wife and daughter well and will always hold your driving in my heart to you us fans your always our dale jr. -colton
Love Dale Jr. ! There is NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING fake about him ! He is so genuine...You can tell he LOVES his family and misses his Father and racing so much..
If you dont get tears in your eyes or plum snottin right now, you ain't NASCAR, n might not be American.... thank you Dad for making me move in with you in 1989 n growing up in BRISTOL!!!!!!!!!
I held it together until the very end. Dale, you are one of the most humble men in the sport. Your genuine love for racing, your fans and your family is why you are so loved by all of us. We certainly miss seeing you on the track, but watching you evolve into who you are now has been wonderful. Your family is beautiful and precious!
Nascar really is blessed to have Dale Jr. He single handedly teaches us fans more about Nascar history than everyone else combined just how in tells stories in such a memorable, humble way, and in a way that makes you feel like you were there. Nascar will never go away as long as Dale Jr. is around.
My favorite part was him and his family riding on a dinky lil float in the parade. Him smiling looking down at his daughter wanting to watch her the whole time but then remembering wait a min I'm Dale Jr and I'm supposed to be throwing candy and waving.... But gosh darn it I wanna see her face and take it all in. Heart warming.
Powerful. The ending is amazing. Dale talking about the fans, and the level of excitement it brought to have them cheering. Dale levels up with this film. His retirement has elevated him to something that NO OTHER driver has EVER been before. Great job Dale. Beautiful family. Life. Career. Congrats!
I miss your dad. You have made him to be very proud of you. Hes has his eyes on you he was a grate person and driver your a chip off the old block he was made of
So touching. Dale Jr. is absolutely the real deal. Beloved by his fans because of that huge heart. Thank you for continuing to let your fans in and be a part of your life.
Masterfully done. I've been a Jr fan my whole life and I was gutted when he retired, but getting to see him do these one-off races every year keeps me going.
Nascar just isn't the same anymore for me. Great story. Great role model...great man. Best of luck Dale Jr. You deserve nothing but joy. Thank you for the memories ❤️
I miss watching Dale Sr race and that time frame so much . Being able to watch Juniors career from beginning to end allowed me to keep loving the sport a see a third generation driver grow and become a champion of this sport . I find myself lost when it comes to NASCAR these days . I miss what the sport used to be and who the likes of Dale Jr , Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon , Jimmy Johnson and so many others kept alive for all of us . Thanks you Dale Jr for giving us another chance to cheer you behind the wheel . I hope someday we are all able to rediscover what made the sport the Reach such great heights
I was there at Darlington and to be in the stands and feel the love that all of us fans showed dale when he got out the car I was crying like a little baby so I can only imagine how that made him feel...then to actually see him in the parade on the NBC sports float with Amy and isla and to see that smile on his face just made me start crying all over again!!! I meet Kelley in wilmington nc when i was about 7 years old i think it was 1990 or 1991 and when i told her that i raced go carts she gave me a big hug and wished me luck that stuck with me and thats when i became an Earnhardt fan!!! In 2004 i was in a very severe car accident in which my cousin/bestfriend died from head injury and I suffered broken bones from my nose to my toes but the mental issues outweighed any pain id felt, i can honestly say that dale jr helped save me that year for one he gave me something to look forward to every weekend not to mention the success he had that year was just icing on the cake so go 15 years later to see him at darlington and see his smile and feel that love that was shown was just an unforgettable experience!!!
I have to say this:as a fan since I was 4 years old watching his dad race in 79' I watched jr. Grow up because we are like 7 months apart in age. And I live Nascar and always have. He became my favorite as well as his dad before him- I am a forevermore fan of his.i watched every race he was in and still look to times like this as GOLD! No matter what he places I am a fan..... his passion was and still is Nascar. Despite all his injuries hes sustained over the years. I appreciate his toughness, tenacity, and drive as I do. And I'm a yankee! Ha!
From one Smut fan to another, Jr. congratulations on this point in life, you can see more of the beauty of how special family is. Earnhardt fan for life!
I came to appreciate Dale Jr fully, as a man and race car driver, after reading his book. I have had a tbi that cost me my job, and it's encouraging to see someone as passionate as I am about my career, continue in his own life with happiness, honestly, and love. I love you Dale, and thank you. 💕
I can't stop cryin'. Not cause I'm sad, no. Because I'm prod of who Dale Jr. has become. A great husband and dad. All the hardware in the world doesn't hold a candle to being a husband and dad. Dale, I know your dad would and is proud of you brother. I know I and thousands out here are. God love ya buddy !
Wow...stupid onions!! Who the hell is cutting these onions at 10am?!?! Words do not nor could they describe how most of us feel about him & to see this family man has to warm your heart. Love you guys & damn good job Dilner!!
I watched his dad from 1994 and then watched Jr in the Sikkens car at Watkins Glen through his entire career till now. I can't help it. I have tears rolling.
The 45 people that disliked this are you paid to do the like move on this was and is a great film thank you dale, thank you producers and everyone involved. No way anyone with a heart could dislike this. We love you dale.
I’m also very happy for him and his family! I was a huge fan of his dad and him of course! JR is so humble and really loves his fans! I sure miss seeing him out there! NASCAR isn’t the same without having an Earnhardt out there! I wish u would come back one day! I’ll start watching again! God bless Junior nation!
seeing Dale jr with family, is very special, yes we miss him racing but he has always been Dale Jr, not his dad, being his own man. So thankful for Dale Jr and his sister carrying on the Earnhardt name.. He will always been a crowd favorite at the race track, racing or not.
He will always be my driver. Dale is one of the best. A kind and decent man, both in racing and as a man. This is a great video on him as a racer, a dad and as a person. Worth the watch. Your the best Dale! See you at the track :)
Love the video bud i raced with you in 94 never could catch u lol but you've give so many memories to so many people that's awesome in my book rock on June bug
Dale jr your are amazing man. I have looked up to you for years and have always been amazed how you have handled everything that has got in your way. Your are true America hero.
I can't imagine how incredible it feels to have all those people cheering for you and wishing you well, but also contrasted by the intense pressure and the heartbreak of having to give up the one thing you love the most. I wasn't even a Jr fan when he was racing, but I recently found his podcast and feel like I've gotten to know so much more about him, and now I feel like I missed out on being a fan all those years.
Fifth place was incredible. I was a Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan that stayed with the family and cheered for Jr.. Since Jr left I haven't watched another race unless he's driving.
I have never seen a NASCAR race in my life, I never seen Jr rac nor seen his dad race other than the odd race on ESPN but watching this, and another series on Dale Jr, I'm one of his bigest fans! Him and his sister are the most humble an amazing people that despite some tough times stuck together and persevered and are now just amazing people.
Ending made me cry. Not going to lie. Dale jr your just awesome man. I’ve watched you race since I can remember. Just all an all a awesome deal. Good run!
Gives me chills!!! So proud to say I am an Earnhardt fan! It is amazing getting to look back on all the great moments and seeing a boy turn into a man and then a father.....I know you have all the success in the world but now you know what it's like to truly be wealthy.
My youth was spent on the sports field. I'm a man with all the responsibilities thereof, now ..and have been for decades. During Christmas day, or at a gathering with friends. If a football, basketball, or baseball comes out and we venture to the street or park. It's such a joyous occasion.. a return to my element. I hope you return to one of your elements many more times before the days come when you cannot. God Bless.
This video and the one where he is authenticating his Dad's #8 Nova shows his true colors! He is very into it and that shines right through! A modern-day gentleman racer. The last of a dying breed. Thanks for the memories Dale and thank you for sharing some new memories y'all are creating! That's what makes you a winner!!!🏁🏁🏁
That's pretty darn special Dale Jr 👍 Been around the sport a long time. It's the people who makes this sport special in so many peoples lives. This just cements my admiration for yourself and your family. We cried that Sunday your Daddy went home too soon. The way you carry on the Earnhardt name with your Dad's influence, but told from your perspective. It's easy to see it's from your heart that really wins folks over. God bless you Dale Earnhardt Jr, and your family for many more years of happiness and success in whatever you do.
Wow......!!! What a great person with a great perspective and outlook on life. A huge THANK YOU Dale for allowing everyone into you and your family's personal life.
We love you Dale. You are the best that's ever been. Maybe not on track, but you there best the sport could ever ask for. You'll bring us all back. Love ya homie.
Fantastic! It was a hell of race Jr., it was awesome to see you out there again. Awesome job Dirty Mo crew, it looked cool, sounded cool, had all the emotion.
I miss watching him on sundays... to this day I still dont have a favorite driver.. I root for kes and truex just because their affiliation to dale.. but i still havnt picked a new driver.. His dad was my hero growing up.. cant see myself picking any driver that isn't an Earnhardt
I got the worst anxiety after my accident that could have cost me my life. But the anxiety was even worse when I finally got to get back in a Commercial truck. Dale Sr. Was my idle. He could do all his repairs himself. Blow his motor qualifying and rebuild it a racing on Sunday. I can't mustard up the courage to finish my race car. That accident brings back all the memories of everything I lost because of that accident. Your dad will always be happy seeing you doing what makes you happy Dale. You are the legacy your dad made for you bro. Enjoy it and God bless
Unbelievable! I’ve became a NASCAR in 2006, as a Kyle Busch fan, JR certainly wasn’t my favorite driver. We used to joke about Dales communication or lack there of at the time. “ things like a brick on wheels, won’t turn” “fix it”. However since watching more and dale retiring I have become such a fan 🦄. He is so open with his feelings and opinions. His interviews are amazing and having him apart of the sport still I believe is what is making this sport turn the corner. I think when it’s all done, people will remember the driver Dale, but more will remember what he has done for NASCAR, the fans and media after driving. Thanks for being you, just genuine.
“Shout out to my dad” made me tear up......you are one of a kind Jr. don’t ever change.
That part made you tear up ?the whole f****** thing made me cry the whole time I was crying but like the guy before me said don't ever change Dale jr. you are one-of-a-kind and great human being and I love you dude
I’m 43, my little brother and I have our picture with Dale Sr. outside of the driver meeting building, infield at Bristol, we were 12 and 10 yrs old. #Memories
Rewound it 3 times to hear him say it....and the fans reaction to hearing it. Dam onions!
"all I ever wanted to do was race, daddy"
What happens when you're brought up right
He has to be one of the most likeable people on the planet.
TheeLobStar agreed!
Absolutely
Agreed
Yes
He was born into gigantic shoes. And by god did he fill em
This video single handedly made more Grown Men cry than any other video on UA-cam.
Yup crying lol
true,,so true
Amen brother
yes it did made me for sure i will forever be a dale jr and sr fan
Same
I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!!
real tear jerker... for all the best reasons.
I am
Who's chopping onions?!😂
Jordan Peyton lol me too bro
your right im crying
Classy, humble guy. Loved because he was always in touch with his fans, never too good. The People's Champion.
Absolutely! 💕
If you smell what dale is cookin JUST DALE WITH IT!😂
I started crying when he was talking about his daughter. He's such a sweet guy and I love how happy he is. Deep down I feel like I would give anything if he would run a season of Xfinity or something in the future, but I also would never want him to be less happy not being able to be with his family as much. As fans we can be pretty selfish, but I am glad he's happy. Really touching stuff
Isla Earnhardt No.8 - wins the 2049 Daytona 500.
i did too sir well said my friend
I'd love to see him come and run some late model races at Martinsville just to throw back to the days before he started really racing for his dad.
I think Amy had alot to do with him retiring. It's not necessarily a bad thing either because I'm sure she knows what's best for him and the family. I just feel if it wasn't for her he would still be racing.
Rob I personally have so much respect for him for retiring from full time, had he not done that we could have possibly lost another amazing human. We just all want to be loved.
Well I’m 54 and that made me cry Dale!!!
That’s never happened for a race car driver. Except for your dad and I don’t think any true fan is over that yet.??
Thank you for the great time!!!!
I wish you were still out there but life changes. We all understand it.
Very Cool
Thank you Junior for all that you have shouldered to bring excitement to the sport. You have lived most of your life in a glass bowl with everyone tapping on it to see what you will do next. You are a true hero, role model, and legend. You have carried the memory and history of your last name with complete honesty, passion, and selflessness . Enjoy your time now celebrate your accomplishments, live in the moments, feel the freedom to be you.
Hanging with Tony Could not have possibly said this better.
Kelly Reeves Here! Here!
I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE!!! The shout out to his dad is what really got me. Jr you are truly a good man and I will always root for you and your family. Keep up the good work.
I am so glad that Jr. was able leave racing and take up the life he's living now. There was so much pressure on him from the time he was a youngster up until he ended his career as a full-time driver. I've come to understand Jr. better by virtue of his "Dirty Mo Media" endeavors and I must say there's so much more to Jr. than anyone can realize on the surface. I'm so happy for for Jr. and his marriage, and that love he's so vocal about for his daughter. I hope he has a long and fruitful life with his family he loves.
Its like a whole different person with out the pressure, ive always been a fan but hes a different person now, a better person for his self
It makes me so happy to see him be a dad and enjoy life after racing. Cool dude and he deserves it.
When Junior was talking about being indifferent about other people’s kids, and then be blown away by his daughter; that hit home. You made me laugh out loud because I didn’t get it until I became a father. Thanks for the memories Junior.
Same here. Those are the best of times
I'm watching my son with his 7 month old daughter and i know exactly what Jr means. It's even better as a first time grandfather.
@@004man I have a near 3 year old and both our parents said the same lol both laughed and said they easily love our daughter more than us lol
The real fans will always Love you Jr!!
We miss ya out there!!
You can tell how much Racing means to him and how bad he wants to be back in a car but he cares more about his family then Racing I think that’s something he learned from his dad
ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK So you don’t think that motivated Jr to be a better father since he knew how it felt?
ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK dude they literally clashed because Jr was to much like Sr, his sister Kelly and his older brother Kerry have stated that on numerous docs that Jr was a spitting image and your absolutely dumb if you think Sr didn’t love his kids he was hard on them because he loved them so much
@@fullbackdive41 just wondering? Spitting image in what way ? To me Kerry looks more like Sr . than Dale Jr. Unless you're talking about the way they act then I have no clue about that. I've only seen what I've seen on TV....
Chris Shockey I didn’t mean in a looks kinda way, but more of that kinda way he carried himself
The painted side skirts really made that Darlington car pop.
@WWYD78 Yep, I was referencing his Mr H interview and Dale's long standing love for painted side skirts.
You're so lucky. Not because your dad was Dale Earnhardt, but because you had a father that truly cared about you. Not all of us are that lucky. Bee grateful, very grateful.
Dale Jr., I'm absolutely sure your dad would be very proud of you and the man you have become.
Oh yeah, I'm sure his dad would love his tweets comparing his family to illegal aliens.I'm sure his dad would love Jr tweeting support for the thugs that kneel for the flag that gave JR all riches.I'm sure his dad would be proud that POS Jr never won a championship even though he had anything he wanted in that fucking sport.

Dontae Willson why are you here? Some people do not and won't care for politics! Why are you on this channel commenting negative remarks if you hate Jr so bad! Get lost if you can't stand the man so much! Bye!
Dontae Willson Just does not make any sense at all!
Nothing in life defines a man more than the priority he places on the importance of his family.

But it is his relationship with his wife and daughter that truly makes him an amazing man and someone that is truly a roll model.
Your a national treasure Jr and a absolute legend of the sport ..
I was there. It was AWESOME. A memory I will never forget
me and my daughter got to see himwin his last race he won best memory ever
17:35 "It felt like a damn win"
That says it all right there for how much he misses it. I hope he knows how important he was, is and always will be to NASCAR. Thanks for one last ride, Dale.
Amazing how many people he and his family have touched over the years. Class act.

You are a good man Dale Jr!! And a legend right up there with your father and Richard Petty. You will always be loved. Thdnk you and Amy for sharing yalls life with us. We love Kelly and Kerry as well. And your grandmother. Wish I could remember your grandfather.
Thankyou Dale Jnr for all the wonderful memories of your racing carrer YOU ARE TRULY THE GENTLEMAN OF NASCAR enjoy family life
This video is amazing Dale you always be great God bless you and your family Earnhardt fan for life peace brother
I'm a 70 year-old man. It's just dawn Saturday morning. I am sitting here in my office, Buster the dog in his bed behind me, tears flowing down my cheeks. Why? Why, I ask myself. There is no one answer. This DE Jr. film should --and needs to--win an award. And I don't know if there is an Awards Category for films like this. There is no one thing that causes my tears: my tears flow from the build-up of memories, love, family, devotion, happiness--and all of these were part of Jr and his wife--as well as his fans. Every one of these emotions was displayed by Junior and mirrored by his fans. The production of this little film is at the highest level of cinematography. Whomever the director, producer, and film editor is should feel proud of this accomplishment. This former race driver continues to grow. As we say down South, "good on ya."
He made me tear up talking about his family and it made me really appreciate how lucky I am! Jr is loved because he's has always been so human , no other driver since Richard Petty has been so LOVED! Win lose or draw, he is a person to be admired,in what ever he does!

Love Dale Jr. ! There is NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING fake about him ! He is so genuine...You can tell he LOVES his family and misses his Father and racing so much..
If you dont get tears in your eyes or plum snottin right now, you ain't NASCAR, n might not be American.... thank you Dad for making me move in with you in 1989 n growing up in BRISTOL!!!!!!!!!
"Plum snottin right now.." If that ain't the best country slang, I don't know what is.
I held it together until the very end. Dale, you are one of the most humble men in the sport. Your genuine love for racing, your fans and your family is why you are so loved by all of us. We certainly miss seeing you on the track, but watching you evolve into who you are now has been wonderful. Your family is beautiful and precious!
Nascar really is blessed to have Dale Jr. He single handedly teaches us fans more about Nascar history than everyone else combined just how in tells stories in such a memorable, humble way, and in a way that makes you feel like you were there. Nascar will never go away as long as Dale Jr. is around.
Jr you and your dad are still my all time favorites and you always will be I'm 48 yrs old and I've watched you and your dad since I was 16
My favorite part was him and his family riding on a dinky lil float in the parade. Him smiling looking down at his daughter wanting to watch her the whole time but then remembering wait a min I'm Dale Jr and I'm supposed to be throwing candy and waving....

I have such respect for you, your a good man Dale 👍 God Bless you and your family🙏
So touching. Dale Jr. is absolutely the real deal. Beloved by his fans because of that huge heart. Thank you for continuing to let your fans in and be a part of your life.
Masterfully done. I've been a Jr fan my whole life and I was gutted when he retired, but getting to see him do these one-off races every year keeps me going.
Nascar just isn't the same anymore for me. Great story. Great role model...great man. Best of luck Dale Jr. You deserve nothing but joy. Thank you for the memories ❤️
All I can say is ...AMAZING !!!....YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NASCAR DRIVER!!!....ALWAYS !!
How loud that crowd got when he said "shot out to my dad" damn
I miss watching Dale Sr race and that time frame so much . Being able to watch Juniors career from beginning to end allowed me to keep loving the sport a see a third generation driver grow and become a champion of this sport . I find myself lost when it comes to NASCAR these days . I miss what the sport used to be and who the likes of Dale Jr , Tony Stewart , Jeff Gordon , Jimmy Johnson and so many others kept alive for all of us . Thanks you Dale Jr for giving us another chance to cheer you behind the wheel . I hope someday we are all able to rediscover what made the sport the Reach such great heights
I was there at Darlington and to be in the stands and feel the love that all of us fans showed dale when he got out the car I was crying like a little baby so I can only imagine how that made him feel...then to actually see him in the parade on the NBC sports float with Amy and isla and to see that smile on his face just made me start crying all over again!!! I meet Kelley in wilmington nc when i was about 7 years old i think it was 1990 or 1991 and when i told her that i raced go carts she gave me a big hug and wished me luck that stuck with me and thats when i became an Earnhardt fan!!! In 2004 i was in a very severe car accident in which my cousin/bestfriend died from head injury and I suffered broken bones from my nose to my toes but the mental issues outweighed any pain id felt, i can honestly say that dale jr helped save me that year for one he gave me something to look forward to every weekend not to mention the success he had that year was just icing on the cake so go 15 years later to see him at darlington and see his smile and feel that love that was shown was just an unforgettable experience!!!
JR is one person I’d like to go fishing with and or have a beer or three with. Thanks for the memory’s Dale 🙏
I have to say this:as a fan since I was 4 years old watching his dad race in 79' I watched jr. Grow up because we are like 7 months apart in age. And I live Nascar and always have. He became my favorite as well as his dad before him- I am a forevermore fan of his.i watched every race he was in and still look to times like this as GOLD! No matter what he places I am a fan..... his passion was and still is Nascar. Despite all his injuries hes sustained over the years. I appreciate his toughness, tenacity, and drive as I do. And I'm a yankee! Ha!
From one Smut fan to another, Jr. congratulations on this point in life, you can see more of the beauty of how special family is. Earnhardt fan for life!
I feel spoiled. Chase Elliott wins and then this masterpiece of nostalgia pops up. Amazing video
I can't be crying like this at 47... Loved it...
He is the real deal. I'm glad to be a NASCAR fan as Dale Jr. and his family show how it should be.
I was there for that race, and the LOVE for Junior overflowed!
I came to appreciate Dale Jr fully, as a man and race car driver, after reading his book. I have had a tbi that cost me my job, and it's encouraging to see someone as passionate as I am about my career, continue in his own life with happiness, honestly, and love. I love you Dale, and thank you. 💕
We loved your dad, we love
You and we love your family .
Were happy when your happy!
Ohhhh Dale Jr & family - you are soooo loved.
I can't stop cryin'. Not cause I'm sad, no. Because I'm prod of who Dale Jr. has become. A great husband and dad. All the hardware in the world doesn't hold a candle to being a husband and dad. Dale, I know your dad would and is proud of you brother. I know I and thousands out here are. God love ya buddy !
This makes me realize there are still a few good ones out there, I have been a fan for years glad Dale Jr has found true happiness
Wow...stupid onions!! Who the hell is cutting these onions at 10am?!?! Words do not nor could they describe how most of us feel about him & to see this family man has to warm your heart. Love you guys & damn good job Dilner!!
I watched his dad from 1994 and then watched Jr in the Sikkens car at Watkins Glen through his entire career till now. I can't help it. I have tears rolling.
Dale your a Blessed Man! Thanks for letting us share a little more of your life! Keep on enjoying life! Your the man!
Great vid. We love you Dale! Thanks for being my driver for so many years. You're always #1🏁🏁
Who cut the onions in here!! Jr is one hell of a man! I’m sure his daddy smiles down on him with a grin from ear to ear!
The 45 people that disliked this are you paid to do the like move on this was and is a great film thank you dale, thank you producers and everyone involved. No way anyone with a heart could dislike this. We love you dale.
I’m also very happy for him and his family! I was a huge fan of his dad and him of course! JR is so humble and really loves his fans! I sure miss seeing him out there! NASCAR isn’t the same without having an Earnhardt out there! I wish u would come back one day! I’ll start watching again! God bless Junior nation!
seeing Dale jr with family, is very special, yes we miss him racing but he has always been Dale Jr, not his dad, being his own man. So thankful for Dale Jr and his sister carrying on the Earnhardt name.. He will always been a crowd favorite at the race track, racing or not.
Always been a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan!!!!
He will always be my driver. Dale is one of the best. A kind and decent man, both in racing and as a man. This is a great video on him as a racer, a dad and as a person. Worth the watch. Your the best Dale! See you at the track :)
Simply 1 of the greatest videos ever!
Love the video bud i raced with you in 94 never could catch u lol but you've give so many memories to so many people that's awesome in my book rock on June bug
Dale Jr always giving back to the sport that he loves. Thank you Jr!
Dale jr your are amazing man. I have looked up to you for years and have always been amazed how you have handled everything that has got in your way. Your are true America hero.
That was awesome..what a great guy..
I can't imagine how incredible it feels to have all those people cheering for you and wishing you well, but also contrasted by the intense pressure and the heartbreak of having to give up the one thing you love the most. I wasn't even a Jr fan when he was racing, but I recently found his podcast and feel like I've gotten to know so much more about him, and now I feel like I missed out on being a fan all those years.
Love JR Racing.❤
Fifth place was incredible. I was a Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan that stayed with the family and cheered for Jr.. Since Jr left I haven't watched another race unless he's driving.
Thank you Jr. the emotion the passion the history, you will always be a Champion in my mind.
Always and forever my favorite race car driver !!!
Dale jr you will always be my fav driver, your the reason I like nascar, ever since I was 2 years old you have been my favorite
it made me cry for a minute because it tricked my mind with all the memories and the music that he passed away and it just feels so surreal.
I have never seen a NASCAR race in my life, I never seen Jr rac nor seen his dad race other than the odd race on ESPN but watching this, and another series on Dale Jr, I'm one of his bigest fans! Him and his sister are the most humble an amazing people that despite some tough times stuck together and persevered and are now just amazing people.
Ending made me cry. Not going to lie. Dale jr your just awesome man. I’ve watched you race since I can remember. Just all an all a awesome deal. Good run!
Gives me chills!!! So proud to say I am an Earnhardt fan! It is amazing getting to look back on all the great moments and seeing a boy turn into a man and then a father.....I know you have all the success in the world but now you know what it's like to truly be wealthy.
My youth was spent on the sports field. I'm a man with all the responsibilities thereof, now ..and have been for decades. During Christmas day, or at a gathering with friends. If a football, basketball, or baseball comes out and we venture to the street or park. It's such a joyous occasion.. a return to my element. I hope you return to one of your elements many more times before the days come when you cannot. God Bless.
This video and the one where he is authenticating his Dad's #8 Nova shows his true colors! He is very into it and that shines right through!
A modern-day gentleman racer. The last of a dying breed. Thanks for the memories Dale and thank you for sharing some new memories y'all are creating!
That's what makes you a winner!!!🏁🏁🏁
That's pretty darn special Dale Jr 👍
Been around the sport a long time.
It's the people who makes this sport special in so many peoples lives.
This just cements my admiration for yourself and your family. We cried that Sunday your Daddy went home too soon.
The way you carry on the Earnhardt name with your Dad's influence, but told from your perspective. It's easy to see it's from your heart that really wins folks over.
God bless you
Dale Earnhardt Jr, and your family for many more years of happiness and success in whatever you do.
Your 5th place finish was a win for the fans, It only proves what a talented race car driver you have always been.
humble and classy, Dale Sr would be so proud of you. never change, your future is so bright
Wow......!!! What a great person with a great perspective and outlook on life. A huge THANK YOU Dale for allowing everyone into you and your family's personal life.
We love you Dale. You are the best that's ever been. Maybe not on track, but you there best the sport could ever ask for. You'll bring us all back. Love ya homie.
We Will Always Love You Dale keep up the great work you have a beautiful family and God bless
Fantastic! It was a hell of race Jr., it was awesome to see you out there again. Awesome job Dirty Mo crew, it looked cool, sounded cool, had all the emotion.
Dale Jr is a MAN. And as a retired news videographer, I have to say the video crew he has is most excellent. Great editing and pace.
I miss watching him on sundays... to this day I still dont have a favorite driver.. I root for kes and truex just because their affiliation to dale.. but i still havnt picked a new driver.. His dad was my hero growing up.. cant see myself picking any driver that isn't an Earnhardt
I got the worst anxiety after my accident that could have cost me my life. But the anxiety was even worse when I finally got to get back in a Commercial truck. Dale Sr. Was my idle. He could do all his repairs himself. Blow his motor qualifying and rebuild it a racing on Sunday. I can't mustard up the courage to finish my race car. That accident brings back all the memories of everything I lost because of that accident. Your dad will always be happy seeing you doing what makes you happy Dale. You are the legacy your dad made for you bro. Enjoy it and God bless
Unbelievable! I’ve became a NASCAR in 2006, as a Kyle Busch fan, JR certainly wasn’t my favorite driver. We used to joke about Dales communication or lack there of at the time. “ things like a brick on wheels, won’t turn” “fix it”. However since watching more and dale retiring I have become such a fan 🦄. He is so open with his feelings and opinions. His interviews are amazing and having him apart of the sport still I believe is what is making this sport turn the corner. I think when it’s all done, people will remember the driver Dale, but more will remember what he has done for NASCAR, the fans and media after driving. Thanks for being you, just genuine.
