Kelly Earnhardt has got to be one of the smartest most business savvy person in the business. She is extremely intelligent and fiercely loyal to Dale Jr.
She knows the basics. She’s not business genius. She just has character, integrity, her word means something. She treats people the RIGHT way, zero greed, zero corruption or ego, this is why they are so successful my friend.
CARS Tour today is what NASCAR should be. Leaderships and managements that knows how Motorsports work, hard and natural competition, no gimmicky BS and stupidity, let the racing do the talking and should be the entertainment. The natural competition. I’m glad it’s doing well. Used to be USAR Hooters Pro Cup. Glad CARS Tour is doing well! Thanks to the current leaders and other workers for making this series the way it is!
Please remove the competition cautions next year. Besides that this season was fun! I went to 11 cars tour races this year and had a great time at each (except waiting until 1am for Hickory to end.... or getting rained out during the first 10 laps of the July Hickory race lol)
Loved Learning about how Mike came into the picture on Kennys Conversation... Dale is a Super Cool beyond what you already think...the Kyle / Kevin Battle Years were Epic...
I am 100% with Kevin on making short track racing more family friendly. I spent many years around the short tracks as a fan and as support staff and always just saw the fighting and the wrecking as 'that's the way it is.' Now I have a family with two small kids and I do road course (sprint) karting. On the road course side of motorsports they generally don't tolerate fighting and intentional wrecking, at all. I'm looking to move up, possibly into a Legend car, which would mean running ovals. I'm very hesitant because I know what can go on at the short tracks and I'm concerned about having my family there with me when it ends up being 'one of those nights.'
I Thank all of u. For being icons in the racing world and wanting to improve the sport that so many of us have a passion for and love so much. I now see a positive light shining on us and the future. Thank u again!!!
Man i love this i started watching nascar in 99 im 49 its unreal that these two have retired, sure do miss all the drivers im use to seeing run every sunday, things sure have changed, i always catch myself looking back at past races with these guys & others, im greatful for youtube!! im glad they are involved & hopefully NASCAR gets back too how great it was during the late 90's early to mid 2000's Enjoy your retirment Harvick & of course DALE JR 💪🇺🇸🙏
Racing should be racing and not "sports entertainment" . Just good old fender banging , rubbing is racing , good ole boys who want to put on a good time with no silly gimmicks .
For NASCAR as big as they are your not going to get the money they have if not sports entertainment. Short track racing though definitely should be just racing and let the race be the entertainment
Great conversation. I just wish as a Canadian, I could find a way to stream the CARS tour without having to buy a whole separate subscription somewhere. As someone on permanent disability, and limited funds, I just don’t get the chance to watch racing that I love. I haven’t been able to watch a NASCAR event live in 5 years. I really miss watching racing.
@@nannergrabber yes. I listen to MRN and watch the battle cam. Not the same thing though. As well, no cameras for Xfinity, or Trucks. Thanks for the heads up though.
As a race fan I enjoy the cars tour the most of all the series now. Since you guys can have the ears of NASCAR I would like to make a suggestion you might pass on. During the playoffs could the window netting of the playoff cars be a different color as to help fans distinguish the cars. Got this idea when I saw the pink nets during breast cancer awareness month. Thanks
As myself a racer , the racer looks out for himself. But when I was track operator had to make sure I looked out for everbody. But so many racers, forget about what is good for all the racers. And I have had the unfortunate meetings with Track owners and operators who tried to divide the racers. Because most track owners in my experience don't want the racer to get together, just like nascar was afraid of the driver union that Richard Petty and other tried in the 70's. I know my, had my share and was barred from many tracks not for fighting ( which happen on occasion, but rare! ) but for organizating the drivers. Most grassroots drivers would pay the promoters to race if they could get a rule made for a part on the race car that they could have . That no one else has one or needs . They never think what is good for all the drivers and their track or series. . And DRIVERS ARE DUMBEST OF ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE RACING INDUSTRY. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THEIR IS MORE THEN ENOUGH TO SAY ABOUT THE OWNER/OPERATORS. I HAVE DEALT WITH IN MY 50 YEARS OF RACING. I've seen a lot in racing, And I still haven't seen it all!!!!
It's good to have a place (and we need several) to teach these young guys how to race and do it right because somewhere down the road we seem to have lost that as shown by some of the stuff going on in the ARCA and Truck series. I've seen some pretty stupid racing in both those series the last couple of years. I don't want to see wrecks I want to see racing .... Almost 40% of the Truck Championship race was run under caution and that's just ridiculous. (not to mention boring) I see 100 lap dirt late models and there will only be one or two cautions in the race and those guys are sideways most of the time.
The guy who taught me about dirt track said if you haven't been thrown out of a track then your not a real racer. Policing is one thing but someone will always need to be taught a lesson. I don't mean destroying there car but there is a line.
So just to get it straight here because tbh i dont really know the correct answer but the pro late models make roughly 400hp while the supers make around 600hp?
Keelan might have some perks, but I’ve seen kids in the Maxxis kart series his age that I think have a lot of talent too. I know that’s not his series, but I’ve seen kids out of IA head south for races with no fancy suit and sponsored by a ton of small businesses and win the whole damn thing. The kids that run full time down there don’t like him much 😂
Something is wrong with the sound, here's why. Now I am deaf, don't get me wrong, but when I got everything on 100% I should be turning it down and I'm not able to hear it well. I hope someone on Jr's crew reads this!
I didn’t know they are partners. Sounds like they’re having fun and that’s what it’s all about. I still miss the old IROC races and would love to see that come back but not under NASCAR. I’ve gotten to the point that I can barely stomach a NASCAR race anymore except for a few tracks like Bristol, Martinsville, and a few others.
I don't know who reads comments but most hockey players prefer the NHL enforcer plan to the International just let the ref call it plan. The refs just miss too many calls and skill players take abuse that it never punished. In the NHL the enforcer goes out kicks the guys ass takes his penalty minutes and the game moves on. Sometimes the penalty has to be physical.
Need to figure out how to get a 2nd cars tour race at wilkesboro on the schedule for the year. It would be nice to have another race there like in September when the modifieds are there or something. Most of the other tracks have 2 races so it would be nice to have a 2nd one there too away from all the all star race traffic and distractions in may. Plus it’s like 5 minutes from the house for me too 😂
Do you really need another series dominated with Chevy spec engines, You already have WOO and late model series across the contry dominated by Chevy power that oputlaws other engines that are just as competitive and sometimes better. that the Chevy How about a series that only allows 302CI engines now matter how many valves in the head.
LOL. Harvick the instigator talking about not acting like a heathen in the garage area or pit road area. Pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Harvick enjoy retirement sir.
Let's all stop and thank these two legends for teaching us how to get past things like adults. Every time these two get together it's a great listen.

I'm so proud that all of this has come full circle..kevin took over for dale Sr and now working with jr....absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!

@JGR4LIFEthe Steve’s lol I’ve never heard that, I’m gonna start using that
Jim France and even Ben Kennedy know what racing is
no gimickiy bs....lmao. they have a literal caution clock.
@@bbm2222 really? Just that one gimmick?
Why? Either way, at least it’s just one and it’s just basically Trucks 2016
Media partners have way too much say in how NASCAR is ran. Manufactures too (mainly GM).
Fun to see Harvick and Jr friends again.
JR, I hope you can sign Harvick to a podcast deal, he is great guy to listen to. Very much like you
How about naming it, the happy place podcast
Im loving this Harvick Jr duo… Throwing Burton into it too is even better.
Just so happy how Harvick has come full circle. It's like he is reconnecting to his Earnhardt roots again.
Please remove the competition cautions next year. Besides that this season was fun! I went to 11 cars tour races this year and had a great time at each (except waiting until 1am for Hickory to end.... or getting rained out during the first 10 laps of the July Hickory race lol)
Don’t you see the issue. Hickory sucks 😂
@@brandoncole2279100%agreed. The ownership of Hickory is running that great track in the ground. Pretty soon it will follow Greenville-Pickens.
I remember when folks complained when there were less cautions everyone complained it was boring. Race fans are so fickle.
Ok it's not like they can control the rain like the government tries to.

Excellent discussion. I liked hearing about the practical scheduling considerations. Also, I appreciate the discussion about fighting in racing.

Nascar app is free buddy
There are no races posted live to the nascar app just in cars and radio.
@@nannergrabber yes. I listen to MRN and watch the battle cam. Not the same thing though. As well, no cameras for Xfinity, or Trucks. Thanks for the heads up though.
It's encouraging, intriguing and exciting to see this group working well together. Look forward to CT future

I was very happy to hear Kelly's name brought up. Love the car's tour, Landon Huffman is my driver to follow.
He is going to do freaking amazing this next season.
Will the cars tour be televised
Great talk.
CARS Tour had a great broadcast team with Eric & Blake in the booth too, James on pit road
Its hilarious listening to Kevin talk about not fighting lol
More volume on these please, Mike.
I'm deaf as a post, and the volume is just fine...... it's on your end
Great show!
The two of you as owners, should come to Pensacola and run the Snowball Derby, just 1 time!!!! Cmon!!!!

I don’t like that the features get cut off on TH-cam for CARS Tour. Hope NASCAR never goes to streaming. Heard it’s a possibility.
6 races a year they are trying to make happen

Kevin and Kelly are 2 badass business people
Is that Kyle Larson’s CARS Tour 1/24 prototype car ? 😳😳😳 I need that! Lol
Interesting.
So just to get it straight here because tbh i dont really know the correct answer but the pro late models make roughly 400hp while the supers make around 600hp?
I've heard that Mike is leaving the podcast, if that's true I think that Kevin would be a great replacement.
I'd imagine it's probably going to be Kelly.
Are these cars and ALL tracks on iRacing? I know some are.
Keelan might have some perks, but I’ve seen kids in the Maxxis kart series his age that I think have a lot of talent too.

CARS tour to Toledo Speedway
DOES BUTTERR BEAN DRIVE FOR KEVIN HARVICK RACING
No, he drives for Lee Pulliam.
It's simple he bought it for the money 🤑🤑💰💰.
💯

I'm getting tired of NASCAR and the ridiculousness. Next season I'm buying Floracing cause I've been told CARS is awesome to watch
