New Ways to Bend The Rulebook featuring Robert Pressley
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- From Late Models, the second generation driver launched a NASCAR career and soon found success on a myriad of raceways across America. This led to opportunities that he couldn't turn down, but some that left him with regret. From replacing the great Harry Gant, to getting fired at Alliance, to his up and down tenure at Jasper Racing, Pressley tells all. He also explains how one rivalry spelled the end for his first Cup Series ride.

i love it man..ol Robert Pressley..is a humble guy...salt of the earth type. no son you got 2 fans, i just became one.
and me Three! How funny is that scam about dropping parts with other teams numbers on them...!
Always like Robert, and yeah Humble guy. Great to hear the story with Brad.
Make that 3! 💪🤠
I worked for Alliance at the Wytheville VA location. They had a business meeting/cookout and invited Robert. I missed the memo that the event was suit and tie...I showed up in boots and jeans, and felt way out of place. Robert was of course dressed down as well...he says ...come with me. We went outside...grabbed a six pack (each) out of the cooler and walked to a horseshoe pit on the property...and stayed there all day long. Wound up a great, laid back day of fun and relaxing conversation (and a little buzz) with Robert...been a fan ever since!

Maury has determined that's a lie but you are the father
Now you gotta have Brad on the show. Very interesting that he goes that far back in racing.
Jr., you have become one of the best interviewers in NASCAR. You know your stuff, it is obvious that you research your guests, you ask great leading questions, and, best of all, you then let your quests talk. Thank you. Us oldsters very much appreciate your archiving the sport as you do, and down the road younger generations will appreciate it, too.
I’m 26 years old and I love hearing about old NASCAR stories. One of my favorite things to learn about
Great show… dale Jr. Did more and still involved in NASCAR. He’s Ambassador of the sport.
I was a HUGE Robert Pressley fan in his Busch days. I never knew Brad was a part of his break into NASCAR I didn't realize Brad's root were that deep with the sport. I have a whole new respect for him now. Makes even more sense now that JTG Daugherty signed Ryan Preece.
were does the time go ???????
kyle petty did an episode of "Coffee with Kyle" with brad and that big SOB is an OG nascar fan who just happened to be a #1 pick in the nba draft. even when he was a star in cleveland he was always itching to be at the track.
@@xSoccerxCorex Big Brad worships at the altar that is Richard Petty & that ok, so do I 😉
Asheville native. We knew the Presley’s. Good folks. My brother grew up with Brad Daughertys kids I had NO IDEA about him helping Robert. Amazing. Mountain people stick together !
Yes sir! Loved watching Bob Pressley, Lloyd Slagle, Randy Porter, Lee Tissot ect, ect. Was an amazing time.
Awesome interview. So glad you brought Robert in for storytelling.
One if your best guests EVER!!!!
This was so good to hear Robert talk about Brad Daugherty, I took my son to the Charlotte race and for the first time had passes for the pits and hotpasses, my son was only 6 years old and he wanted to get a picture with a driver well we never got the chance they where all busy for the race so walking through the pits and we came across the 47 cars pit box and Brad Daugherty stopped what he was doing picked him up my son which was over 6th in the air and carried him around the pit box showed him everything, gave him some lug nuts and signed his shirt!! As hard as I was working to get the attention of a driver to make the trip something special for my son and had not really been successful in doing so that moment he came up and picked my kid up was one of the greatest moments ever in this lifetime for me. The smile my kid had was worth more then anything I could ever own and I wish I had the opportunity to thank Brad again because my kid has never forgot about that moment and he is 13 now and talks about it when we see brad on tv!!! It was a very humbling and I am forever greatful for the 10mins he took to make lasting memories for myself and my son!! I have the upmost respect for Brad and this world could use more like him!!! Teared up just thinking about that moment
I love Robert, he is very respectful and a confident guy. He raced even though he was getting booed. He was amazing and I hope to meet him someday
Having Brad Daughtery on the show would be awesome!
You should have a show just on bending the rules. How it’s done from past to present that would be cool!
I 2nd that notion!
@@howabouthetruth2157 you and Sean Tompkins need to go back and listen to the podcasts there's a ton of "Creative Engineering" and rule stretching stories in them!
@@irongoatrocky2343 i wish Dale would upload the ENTIRE video
.
like, i listen to a few podcasts (Grease the Wheels being one... a mechanics podcast)
but watching a VIDEO holds my attention better
.
and like.... dale is filming the whole thing anyway
would be even easier to NOT edit out clips.... and just post the whole damn thing
@@irongoatrocky2343 I've been subbed to this channel since near the beginning & I've watched all the podcasts. Believe me, you haven't heard half the stories on how to cheat in racing. I know a lot more about this sport than you think I do. I've been following NASCAR since the 70's.
@@howabouthetruth2157 I grew up in Eastern WA been around racing since I was born in '57......one family who learned from their dad had 5 boys of which 3 of them at one time or another turned laps in Indy Cars....
another was a guy who was involved in Unlimited Hydros as well......so trust me I know about rule bending.....one of my inspirations on this subject was NASCAR's original 'Cat in the Hat'....like he said If said in the rules you cant do it......ok..... just look for what the Rules DONT say!
I love it when you have these older guys on. Their perspective meant a lot to this sport. Great history.
I love he is an Robert Presley an awesome individual.
Man… I wish he still ran Kingsport Speedway. Great guy.
I saw the race he speaks of at orange county speedway. I remember it well. And I remember that tall guy in the pits.
Listening to Robert Pressley talk was like listening to my dad talk and tell stories. My dad was on a crew in ARCA the time he was talking about. Funny to hear these stories. Dale's helping to archive racing history with these podcasts. Thank you!
Love this stuff. This is nascar history that you just can’t find anywhere else. Priceless!
Get his Brother Mike on. He has tons of Ashville speedway stories. These were the boys to beat in the 90s
I was wrenching/pit crew for a couple of Busch teams in '89 and Brad would be at the races when he wasn't handling his NBA stuff. I do recall Robert's team getting some help here and there and using other crew members to help pit the car at some races.
Some of "my" team guys went to dinner with Robert's team with Brad at a Myrtle Beach race. Brad foot the bill for all of us. He (Brad) was a true class act, just "one of the guys" as well as Robert and his guy's. Good times back then, until they turned racing into a circus with a bunch of (kid) clowns with no respect.
Watch Robert back in the day I kind of grew up around the Nashville Speedway I was a big Darrell Waltrip fan cause my daddy drove for terminal transport but Robert is just a good man down to earth type of person you'd like to know thanks Junior love your Channel
man you get the best guests . love this show
way cool BD story. had never heard him helping or just hopping in a dually story before
Gotta get Geoff Bodine on the show sometime
Agreed. We gotta here geoffs side of the Earnhardt feud. I wonder if Dale, doesn’t want to upset all his fathers fans??
This was one of your best episodes Jr.
I always pulled for Robert, back in the day, a great guy
Brad grew up same county Buncombe 20 miles from Robert . He was a high school basketball star Charles D Owen high school black mountain nc. Remember my dad taking me to a game, to watch this tall kid play ball.. it was Brad
The cheating stories are my favorite! Please find more!!!
Same here!
Robert and bob pressley. Jack Ingram, sam ard, butch lindley..were some of the best race car drivers.
Best show on these days. Wish you could track down Rudd again
I got to say The best part of all of your interviews is the cheating stories
Stories like this makes ----NASCAR Great ---------Back Then
Best racing stories and interviews on you tube. Hands down
Robert is one of my fave people and driver's ever.
Great interview I always enjoyed listening to the racers from the past. Wishing everyone at Dirty Mo Media well Take Care Guys
My grandpa played poker with his dad bob, i wish i could of been alive when the Asheville speedway was around,now it's a bike track 😂
I was in racing and actually played basketball against him at a non racing function. He is one tough man.... even on the court.
Great person 😊
I Absolutely Love this program
Good job guys
Put Brad on your "to interview" list, please!
Fond memories of cheering on Robert Pressley at Asheville Speedway. My dad worked with him at Coca-Cola, so we were hooked.
The "Bent Creek Bandit" had more fans than he lets on.
I remember standing behind Brad waiting to get into the infield after the races. Jay another fan in the grandstand at the time.
Robert as he gets older reminds me of my Papaw. Warms my heart.
I love this interview ... great stories.
These stories are AMAZING! I had no idea Brad Daugherty (sp) had been around so long. Another story is the relationship between a white race car driver and a black supporter in nascar in the mid to late 80’s and how it wasn’t an issue to these good guys.
Thank you, Mr. Pressley. GG Dale and Mike
Junior get behind the wheel more and go out there and kick ass! You know you still have it. Stay away from the tracks that can hurt you, but go have fun. Lots of us miss seeing your talent on the track. Once a year is good but it's not enough! Appreciate all you do for our sport.
I've heard a lot of stories over the years, but dropping parts with other numbers on them is a new one. 🤣🤣
I always liked that Alliance paint scheme. There were some great looking and memorable cars back then. Cup, Busch Winston West, even the dash and all pro series' had some memorable cars.
Class act dude🏁
Great stuff
Love it!!!
The best pod cast interview.
Bending the rules and my first ad was from volkswagon,lol.
Whats the best Green car yall seen? Gant? Pressley? Jr in the 88?
I had no clue Brad was into racing that long
Invalope lmao that made my day!
Watched this last night
True Racer
Why does Jr keep saying Xfinity series instead of Winston or whatever the Sponsor was at the time? Saying what the actual series name was at the time gives a basis of recognition and dates the time of what he's talking about. Constantly saying Xfinity gives the impression that your promoting Xfinity instead of being an objective observer IMHO. Was his dad a 7 time Winston cup champion or a 7 time "Xfinity" champion.
Need Brad Daugherty on to tell story of How Tommy Ellis was gonna fight with him. Lol
Would love to see a Chrissey Oliver interview
Great stories from Robert!
Much luv from BUFFALO N.Y., bless y'all
Seemed exactly how a talladega race would go
I seen that Freddy Smith's 00 dirt car made it to Jr.s big table !
How about Johnny McFadden in the ARCA car?(-;
That's right
This guy is the Real dill
I had a bloody nose with a full face helmet. 30 lap feature and I finished the race and then stopped the bleeding. Crazy
Related to Elvis?
You cannot retroactively change history & call it "Xfinity". History don't change on who the current sponsor of a series is. I wish Jr would stop with that. In the 80s it was Busch, it was not Nationwide or Monster or whatever...
Still Busch series in the 90s as well
let's just call it the grand national like my grandpa use to call it. lol
I didn’t hear how Robert bent the rules like title states but ok
GOTTA GET THE LED OUT!
Who is this brad guy?
He was a professional basketball player.
@@joyhruska9377 who eventually became a NASCAR owner
Former NBA player, currently NBC nascar analyst, and part owner of JTG Daughtery Racing
@@ajf230 he's the Daughtery in "JTG Daughtery Racing"
Someone please tell Mike its not Cheating its called 'Creative Engineering!'
"Win if you can....
Lose If you Must!
but CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT!
Please let some of them boys from ,GREENVILLE PICKENS, BE ON HERE
I don't think it is right to cheat, because if you win you didn't really win,If I win I want to win fair and square I win because I'm better, if I cheat and win I didn't win because I'm better, I won because I cheated and I would not know if I was better
When they ran off the racers. Asheville turned into a woke ass town.
Asheville is such a great area. You guys can have Marion 😉
No such thing as "bending the rules". Cheating is cheating. And all the teams, in all professional motorsports cheat.
