First you need to get the sport back from the people that have killed it. When it became a bastion for liberal ideology, it killed the true nature of NASCAR. When huge teams took over the owner driver it changed. Nobody has to wrench their car all week and then qualify on the weekend. Drivers are walking billboards for their Masters and don’t spend all week under a car. When you get rid of pretty boy standards and get back to grit eating men as drivers then you will get the sport back.
I tuned in to the dura lube 400 at Rockingham the very next race after sr died to watch jr and see how he did his job and responded racing one week after losing his father. He wrecked in a very similar fashion that sr did on lap 2 or 3. Thankfully it was at a much slower speed and he had the HANS device and was uninjured. Been a huge fan since. Seeing him racing here and there in xfinity nowadays is one of my favorite things.
I clicked on this to watch the reactions to the ride a long laps, but it turns out the content of the first part of the video is what really matters most. Awesome....well done!
Love ya Dale, I'd love to shake your hand. You and your Dad have given me years of enjoyment. Hearing those RPM's echoing off of that speedway reminded me of my 1 st visit to Indy Speedway this year during the FFA convention. My Dad loved racing and we'd always watch the 500 laying in the floor together. I'm 48 now but I got so emotional hearing a Vette pacecar go around that track I literally cried and remembered Dad. What a place. I had NO idea it'd hit me like that
That had to be such an exciting opportunity for those educators! The look on their faces as they were riding shotgun with Dale Jr wa priceless! They now have a story they can share for the rest of their lives! You are such a role model, Jr! Your many fans are so proud of you!! Thanks for sharing, and Happy Holidays! 😊
This must've taken place about 2 months ago by my estimate... The old pavement was still on the track. It's now repaved. Very cool opportunity to give teachers the chance to experience something cool like that. For as important as teachers are, they don't get nearly what they deserve in recognition for their work building the next generation of our country. Kudos to everyone involved with that.
Cool video 👏👏👏 Junior is such an awesome guy 🥰🥰doing fantastic things with his time and I think his dad would be very proud of him and probably never thought he’d see him reading a book to kids 🥰🥰🥰 #jrnation4life
Mr. Jr this was an amazing video to watch and enjoy as you took care of business and sat down with everyone to read books and share them with everyone then took everyone for a ride around the track, I have so much respect for you and what you’ve accomplished and continue to accomplish,makes me a proud fan of you and watching videos like this plus of your old races so I wear my Dale Jr jackets loud and proud which I have a bunch of them including diecast cars
A way to keep the Dream Alive! Jr and his sponsors Unilever and Dollar General show a positive way to promote Childrens Education Literacy and Interest in Racing!
This is a side of Jr that's never seen or mentioned. On one of his podcasts not long ago Chocolate Meyers said he was doing things for the sport that his dad would not have been doing. I think this is a perfect example of what he was talking about. As much as I liked Sr I can't see him sitting down in front of a bunch of kids and reading to them.
Well Dale Jr and the rest of those NASCAR fans who are enjoying the revised North Wilksboro track...here's my message. Remember the "let's go Brandon" meme some NASCAR fans love to shout [it stands for 'fu*k Joe Biden']. Y'all should be thanking President Biden and the Democrats on Capital Hill because they passed the funding that gave 18 million dollars towards making North Wilkesboro happen again. NOT...ONE...North Carolina Republican House or Senate member voted for the bill that netted the money for North Wilkesboro - NOT ONE! I'm a 60 year NASCAR fan and, putting politics aside, I believe in giving credit where credit is due!
Dale Jr is the embassador for the sport that we need.
Its incredible huge fan of racing more so older 80s 90s stuff but still love seeing life pumped into it

Dale Jr. the best envoy of any sport , a true legend and a hero
I never was a jr fan when he was racing but since retiring and seeing all he does for the sport I've become a hard-core jr fan now.

The more I see Jr, the more impressed I am with the man he is. Thanks Dale!
He's something else.❤❤
And up in heaven Big E is going 'thats my boy'
Massive respect to the people that put all this together, as well to all the teachers out there. Thank you!
That Dale Jr is one busy guy. Great ambassador for the sport. Thank you for giving your valuable time to our teachers and students 🏁👍

Sr. Is looking down and prouder than any father could be.
That had to be such an exciting opportunity for those educators!

Dale Jr is one of the G.O.A.Ts
Thank you Dale
Dale is such a great role model and American
The Lord bless you all for such a work of love.
That is so cool
Love North Wilkesboro. If you sat between Turns 1 & 2, the angles of the track and stands allowed you look right into the car.
That book reminds me of wilbur the wagon, ive seen the actual car at car shows and the guys has written 3 childrens books and hes such a fun guy
That is great news.👍
This is so cool, great job JR 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dad would be proud jr!
Dolly Parton has played a major role in literacy in the last 50 years. Glad to see the next generation like Junior take up the torch.
SPEEEEEEDWATTTTT
Those teachers were smiling ear to ear.
Everybody here talking about “speedwat” but nobody is talking about “Wilkseboro”
The interns strike again
What's everyone talking about? There's no errors 🤣
Speedwat???
A way to keep the Dream Alive!
Jr and his sponsors Unilever and Dollar General show a positive way to
promote Childrens Education Literacy and Interest in Racing!
Very cool. How fast are you going on the straightaways & turns?
Just riding around the track with the driver that i dont like the most. That would make me happy.
I think getting a ride in a race car would be fun.
They even got to wear the race gear!
Cool.
You know Jr had that thing wide open around that track
Where can I get a copy of that book?
🙏💚
now this is what kids should be reading
go jimmie jam

SpeedWAT
Having children has 'matured' Dale Jr
WTG Junior
Wonder if that's a race used car and engine or a special car just for rides?
Speedwatttttttttt?
Speedway*
jimmie jam?? 😂
“Wilkseboro Speedwat”
Happy 88 likes!
Sure wish JR would come back and save the sport. NASCAR needs help and needs it bad!
Dale needs to grown his sack back and get back out there because nascar is nothing like it used to be
