After causing some bad accidents during the 1991 season Ernie Irvan apologies to his fellow drivers in the drivers meeting before the Diehard 500. July 28th 1991
Tony Wood *EXACTLY!!!!* Early in his career, DW was just like Ernie, but did you hear Petty, Cale, Bobby Allison, etc. complain like Rusty did? *FUCK TO THE NO!!!!!* Rusty was a jackass then and he is still a jackass now.
"but did you hear Petty, Cale, Bobby Allison, etc. complain like Rusty did?" Uhhh fuck to the yeah they did. Why do you think the Petty's and Allisons hated him so much?
DW ran his mouth all over the Allisons and beat them on the track and that was also, Saturday night racing. Not exactly the same scenario, but continued into cup career.
Rusty Wallace wasn't clapping for Ernie at the end of his speech. I don't know what his problem was but, I guess it had to do with his passive aggressive attitude. Bill Elliott is looking at Rusty like come man "cut it out". Like the water bottle with Dale Sr in 1995 at Bristol Tennessee.
I respect the hell out of Irvan for speaking to his fellow drivers and acknowledging fault. Can't even imagine some of today's assholes like the Busch brothers eating crow and showing humility after making mistakes- it's always the other guy's fault. Irvan became a real solid driver and anyone knocking his ability doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.
I respect Irvan for it too. As for the Busch brothers, I still couldn't see Kyle doing it, but after all the stuff Kurt has gone through I do see a different person than 4 to 5 years ago. I think he does now take a bit more responsibility for his actions, and I think he has matured.
Er, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't DW accused of doing the exact same thing early in this career that Irvan was accused of here, before he started winning Cup titles? Or, am I crazy?
Oh man, he was at one time considered the most hated man in NASCAR. That is until Wallace spun him at the all star race, and then suddenly everybody like him, which didn't make sense. These drivers never liked getting a taste of their own medicine lol.
I'm very confident that Rusty went up to Dale Earnhardt and said, "If you hit me, I'm gonna crash ya." and I'm also very confident that Dale laughed and said, "That's a good joke, Rusty."
Yeah and all Rusty could ever muster was a water bottle. Besides rusty had to stay up Dales ass so he could feel validated. The only driver that beat Dale truly was Gordon and he didn't have to say anything aggressive, threatening or whatever. He just drove his car and turned the other cheek. Notice he never spun Gordon out. He did get mad at him but that's just being competitive and when they were seen talking it seemed genuine. Everything with rusty just feels overly forced. I get the feeling that everyone felt rusty was obnoxious. Kinda like that one guy that wants to be your buddy but you just can't jive with him because he tries way to hard. But yeah, Rusty just seemed extremely fake.
I'm a big Ernie Irvan fan, but I understood where the drivers were coming from...one or two wrecks is accidental but if you cause several accidents in one year, it's hard to feel sympathetic for the person. Brad Keselowski had a similar year in 2014 as Ernie did, which is why it's hard to feel sympathetic for a driver who constantly gets himself into trouble.
You know that you wreck a lot when you have to apologize for wrecking a lot. Can't imagine Kyle "Asshole" Busch apologize for anything, and he came very close to killing Hornady.
Rusty Wallace...LOL. I bet he told Earnhardt what he was going to do....Big E must not have heard Rusty because Big E always got the best of Rusty and he put Rusty in the wall and upside down numerous times. Rusty Wallace....LOL
Leave it to Felix to give a great quote. Of course I think I could come up with some good lines if a guy destroyed two of my race cars and left my guy with his left femur broken in half. Rusty was about right, when Ernie opened up his firesuit with that Davey Allison shirt a little over two years later, everyone came to love him. I miss him being around. He's taught us a lot about head injuries and prevention, though, so it isn't like it was in total vain that he had to retire early.
Wrong ... That may have helped a little ...but I distinctly remember him getting boo'd to hell and back even long after his accident. I was there when he won his race at Michigan when he came back after the accident and it sounded like he was the guy that shot Kennedy...
Kyle got a ride with Roush when he was 16. His big brother won a Cup title. Ernie came from nothing to become a star in NASCAR. From nothing. They are both amazing talents, but their roads to stardom forked differently.
If Ernie hadn't been seriously injured at Michigan while driving for Robert Yates, Dale Earnhardt would only have had 6 championships. There, I said it....because I think it's true.
I am not a Rusty fan ... But he did say it ... And eventually Earnhardt got the message. Rusty wasn't scared of Earnhardt back then. And his championship in 1989 proves that.
@@jeremyfisher8782 Yeah, that's big proof. Meanwhile, back in reality, Earnhardt spun and wore out Rusty on a weekly basis. Rusty was a big mouth flash in the pan.
You use that word so much dude...I know why too. And I just want to say don't worry, I won't judge you for trying to hide your homosexuality. Your secret is safe with me.
LOL....DW wrecked just about everything that moved in his early days and Rusy did it his whole career. You get mad??? Well get used to being mad cause Earnhardt is the best ever. In racing he had and still has no equal. If Earnhardt came along when Petty did he would have won 400 races and 20 championships. Petty? LOL Gordon?? LOL Bobby Allison?? LO....Yeah he was pretty darn good but not in Earnhardt's league.
Not sure if your still around or alive seeing you wrote this over 8 years ago, but maybe you've heard of a guy named Jimmie Johnson?? He has 13 more poles, 7 more wins, and 1 more Daytona 500 win than Dale Earnhardt while racing 100 less races than him too. Jimmie Johnson now has 7 championships. Here is the drivers who came 2nd to him, and how many wins they won that year. 2006. Matt Kenneth. Wins 4 2007 Jeff Gordon. Wins 6 2008. Carl Edwards. Wins 9 2009. Mark Martin. Wins 5 2010. Denny Hamlin. Wins 8 2013. Matt Kenneth. Wins 7 2016 Joey Logano. Wins 3
@@awc8938 If it werent for the crap playoff system nascrap has now, Jimmie Johnson would be a zero time champ, chump. His 7 times means nothing. Nothing.
I wonder where Dale Earnhardt was in that meeting. Maybe he could've come up and also apologized to half the drivers in that meeting for almost damn near killing them back in the 1980s.
Rusty sitting there in the front row like "yeah, yeah, kid, whatever." I like him now but man I hated his guts back in the day. With some maturity and time, though, I realize the reason I disliked him then was the reason I like him now...he was a no-BS hard-edged competitor.
What's he supposed to say ? I'm sorry I tore up everbodys shit? Every driver sitting there has gotten into somebody at some point in their careers. Ernie admitted he had been to aggressive and that he would like to tone it down a notch .............and to a certain extent Ernie did tone it down a notch or two . Ernie still got into some wrecks with Sterling Marlin but for the most part he drove a " little " less aggressive..................................................Ernie less aggressive was still more aggressive than most drivers but you can't have your cake and eat it too . lol, Ernie Irvan ran in the top 10 , wrecked, or blowed an engine. ......Ernie never ran mid pack .
@@abbasladak294 He never one time said he was sorry. He acknowledged certain events ... But never said he was wrong or that he was sorry. And this event certainly didn't help him because he continued to drive like an idiot up until his accident.
Every man must make a decision on how he wants to be remembered as. His apology seemed sincere. Although I noticed that Rusty wasn’t clapping. So I think his style has cost many drivers, their cars and sometimes their sponsors! rubbin’s racin! Lol no it isn’t. That’s how people get hurt. (Lil “days of thunder quote”) I don’t care for drivers that are aggressive like that. But he seemed decent
Hat's off to Ernie on that one. An intervention if you will. From there on, he became one of the more beloved men in the NASCAR garage, especially after #1 at Michigan (I mean of near-fatal crashes. He had another one in 1998).
1) Ernie would have been one of the greats if not for his accidents\ 2) Rusty was never that good and Earnhardt and him tangled quite a few times with Earnhardt on top. 3) Megacrazyrobot: Waa waa waa. Why don't you take your crying towel and wipe your eyes out loser. I watched racing in the 80's and Earnhardt got more publicity when he was in crashes because he was always in front and dominating. Your driver....whoever it is, was in back watching the leader.
Yeah, Earnhardt wrecked two of my favorite drivers Darrel Waltrip and Rusty Wallace and he damn near hurt both of them by wrecking them. He was dangerous. I get so mad when I see people put Earnhardt above the likes of Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, and Jeff Gordon. I will never get it.
Never cared for him. Seemed like he was very defensive in interviews and never truly apologetic for his role in causing wrecks; case in point: Talladega 1996 when he turned Sterling Marlin into Earnhardt and damn near killed him. The following week crews had to hold Marlin back from kicking Irvan's ass in the Brickyard garage, as he never called either Marlin nor Earnhardt to apologize.
To hear ned say Rusty had issues to over come himself is laughable one year later I was 7 years old and I asked Rusty for an autograph and said " Get the Fu** out of my face kid it's too Damn hot I understand people have problems but you do not talk to a fan like that especially a child Richard Petty seen what happened and made up for it
Ernie was new to the sport,and kicking ass,and were threatened by his driving skill.Bunch of cry babies,and as for Hut Stricklan,he was not a very good anything,just sayin,Way to go Earnie for kicking ass,like you did.
And to think, Irvan had won the Daytona 500 to start out that season, and now he was a target of other drivers B/C he was *'allegedly'* overaggressive. Remind me of someone who won the Daytona 500 exactly two decades later.........
Ernie was just racing hard and made some mistakes but big deal he was doing his best, saw him at Richmond last night at the Super late model race with his son. Rusty was full of shit he never stood up to Earnhardt, in fact none of them except Tim Richmond who was a better racer by far than Dale and had he lived Dale would have never seen 7 cups as well as if Davey had not been killed but wasn't meant to be.
Looks like Ernie needs a waaaaahbulnace. Pretty bad when you have to get up and apologize for just sucking sooooo much. I have no repect for Ernie "Theres a car, WRECK EM" Irvan. He caused so much wreckage in NASCAR, starting to see the same idiocy with Brad Wreakalowski. Kids, don't be a Ernie.
He was in over his more guts than brains he had great equipment in essence it was like giving a child a loaded gun. I think his vision of lock of vision was what was wrong with him. His eyes were all messed up. If not for his accident he probably would of ended up killing someone on the track. Thank god for unanswered prayers
DW criticizing someone for doing exactly what he did.
Tony Wood *EXACTLY!!!!* Early in his career, DW was just like Ernie, but did you hear Petty, Cale, Bobby Allison, etc. complain like Rusty did? *FUCK TO THE NO!!!!!* Rusty was a jackass then and he is still a jackass now.

DW is a human manure spreader.
@@LT1HILLINGHOE He got to sounding more and more like Aunt Bea on TV
Rusty Wallace is sitting there thinking, "Yeah sure!" LOL
Scott K. - I saw that too, lol!!!
He’s not buying it.
They ended up being real good friends.
Rusty Wallace wasn't clapping for Ernie at the end of his speech. I don't know what his problem was but, I guess it had to do with his passive aggressive attitude. Bill Elliott is looking at Rusty like come man "cut it out". Like the water bottle with Dale Sr in 1995 at Bristol Tennessee.
I was waiting for Crockett and Tubbs to come up behind Felix Sabates and take him down. LOL Felix looked straight out of a Miami Vice episode!
Felix looking like he was in the irishman movie with De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino lol
Watching this after listening to Dale Jr's podcast with Ernie :)
Felix Sabatas. A true NASCAR Badass in his prime. Looked gangster man! haha
Greg Stephens I was imagining three bodies in his trunk as he was getting interviewed.
he reminds me of Razor Ramon. oye Chico
I know man, looked like he could be in goodfellas or something lol
Badass skeerd little man.
I respect the hell out of Irvan for speaking to his fellow drivers and acknowledging fault. Can't even imagine some of today's assholes like the Busch brothers eating crow and showing humility after making mistakes- it's always the other guy's fault. Irvan became a real solid driver and anyone knocking his ability doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.

Ned throwing out Rusty’s past when rusty was trying to be holier than thou. I loved that.
Er, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't DW accused of doing the exact same thing early in this career that Irvan was accused of here, before he started winning Cup titles? Or, am I crazy?
Oh man, he was at one time considered the most hated man in NASCAR. That is until Wallace spun him at the all star race, and then suddenly everybody like him, which didn't make sense. These drivers never liked getting a taste of their own medicine lol.
DW had selective memory….never cared for him at all no matter where he drove. Holier than thou on tv. On the scanner he was completely different.
I'm very confident that Rusty went up to Dale Earnhardt and said, "If you hit me, I'm gonna crash ya." and I'm also very confident that Dale laughed and said, "That's a good joke, Rusty."
And the following week Sr proceeded to do his yearly wreck on Rusty.
Rusty was a pushover. Big time.

Reminds me of those drivers in days of thunder talking shit about cole trickle

Classic Rusty sitting in the front row not clapping when Ernie got done speaking.
Never cared for Rusty, Always thought he was a smart ass.
They didn't call him Swirvin Irvan for nothing
“Even Ray Charles could see that he caused both of those accidents” 😂😂
You know that you wreck a lot when you have to apologize for wrecking a lot. Can't imagine Kyle "Asshole" Busch apologize for anything, and he came very close to killing Hornady.
Felix was acting like Ernie stole his cocaine. 😂
Look at Dave Marcis wearing his "famed" Goodyear Hat in the driver's meeting at 2:45
1:33 thank you Felix for making my beer go through my nose.
"Ray Charles could see it" hahahhah
Anyone else coming back to this video because of Ross Chastain?
Felix Sabates, I have no idea what you just said.
Rusty Wallace...LOL.
I bet he told Earnhardt what he was going to do....Big E must not have heard Rusty because Big E always got the best of Rusty and he put Rusty in the wall and upside down numerous times.
Rusty Wallace....LOL
good ol' ernie, miss seeing him in races, even after all these years
I wished he was racing today. He was so screwed the 1994 season. Leading the points and then that bad crash at michigan..... Sad.
Noticed Rusty wasn't clapping. He mellowed out later in his career, but early on. Firey guy!
If you say so. He's a great guy.
Harvey Hardass
Anyone else here after 2022 Gateway and Ross Chastain?
I pulled for Ernie Irvan every Sunday, I knew the guy I was rooting for was giving it 100 percent .
Eh sorry rusty. Dale still spun you out even after that "threat" all you could ever muster was a water bottle. You're no big bully either.
You are the the man,Swerving Ervin,always were my driver and always will.
Take all the quotes from this video and change Irvan to Chastain... fits to a T
Wasn’t really an apology more so a statement but still great.
Ross Irvan Chastain?
i wouldn't have appologized. How many times have Kyle Busch or Tony Stewart or Dale Earnhardt wrecked somebody for the win or just for no reason.
LOL at 1:47 … Didn’t Earnhardt wreck Rusty like 2 or 3 times after this?
Yes he did an all rusty done was throw a bottle of water at him
Shades of Ross chastain

You damn well Rusty never said that to Earnhardt! Earnhardt would have spun him every week if he had.

High Class!!!!!
Poor Ernie he had such bad luck in his career.
And Darlington, the year before as well
Ernie Irvan is akin to Joey Logano of the early 90s.
Ernie was way better driver than Joey, and Ernie had the balls to apologize and not bringing his dad to deffend him
James Rogers joey couldn't wheel these cars around. Men drove these cars.
Why? Do you wanna fuck?
You use that word so much dude...I know why too. And I just want to say don't worry, I won't judge you for trying to hide your homosexuality. Your secret is safe with me.
