That story is a good example how Dale Sr’s mind worked. He definitely didn’t process things like the rest of us would have. If I flipped a dozer that SOB is staying on its side till I go find someone else to drive it. He really didn’t have a quitting bone in his body and seemed to not be scared of anything. The thought of getting hurt likely never even entered his mind. I grew up watching him do things on the track that would make your jaw drop in amazement and have been a lifelong fan of the Earnhardt family. I wish he’d have gotten to see Jr’s later years, so we’d been able to see how proud he was of the man Jr has grown into. I’m sure he always watches over Jr, Kelly, Kerry, and Taylor.
I'm from the same era I can tell you what he was thinking I have a small amount of time to get it back on its tracks before all of the fluids and diesel leak out if I don't its going to be down while I repair it as to getting back on it that was to make sure there was no damage to the engine and to get the fluids back to circulating
@roberthevern6169 I started in construction when I was 17 built houses for 40 years not much I haven't seen or done I was filling a garage with rock turned a skid steer on its nose I called my excavator he would drop it off anytime I needed it he told me to pull it back on its wheels quickly it would be ok it was
I always wished for it too. Mainly so he could just focus on driving, no grievances, no worries. Not having the weight of the world on his shoulders or the expectations even Sr. couldn't achieve after the 96 Dega rollover with injuries that hurt the rest of his 90's. No BS at home at DEI headquarters or how other teams caught up to DEI and they didn't make the advancements they needed. Moving to HMS was good but like Jeff Gordon and others he was on tje back burner as the push was for Jimmie. Without the BS and what not he was pretty much robbed of true opportunities to fulfill a few Championship runs. The guy could drive.

I honestly think losing Dale made her lose her mind a bit. I think she wanted to keep everything the same as it was before he died. I think she thought if she sold or changed something she was losing another piece of him. Don't get me wrong, I think she's been evil with the way she's treated Jr. Kelley, and Kerry.

Jr. I can tell you as a professional dozer operator that what happened to Sr. Happens a lot when you are pushing trees over and you don’t have the blade deep enough when pushing them over the roots will come up under the blade and flip you over in blink of an eye. I’ve had them roll into ditches and fall off cliffs you name it, I’ve seen or had it happen😂 to bad there’s no pics of that dozer lol, I got a good video of my last dozer oops,
I can relate to the chainsaw story I was a residential contractor until I retired I had a crane come to set the roof trusses it was 8am we were setting the first truss I was on the wall signaling when the truss was about 8" above where it went I gave the signal for cable down when all at once the truss dropped and bounced off the top of the wall catching my left pointer finger and smashed it got the bleeding stopped knew I needed stitches at least had no one there to take my place and the crane couldn't come back for several days I went back to work set all the trusses nailing them with my right hand as I'm left handed made it to the ER around 330pm the Dr was shocked when she heard what time it happened and what I had done that kept me from being there earlier we were raised and built different back then
Great story! I did much the same once. Cut about 2/3 of the way around my right index finger! Blood all over, just wrapped it in a rag, and finished the day! Got back to office and then 2+ hours later, had it sewed up! Back to work the next day, w/ a splint on my bandaged finger! Good times! You do what you have to do!
@roberthevern6169 exactly we do I left a hour early back at it the next day I've got another one that was my fault going as fast as I could framing wall it was laying on the deck I was using a Paslode framing gun with 3" nails lining the studs up with my left hand nailing them through the top plate got the gun on too much of an a angle fired it the nail glanced off the plate I felt it when I looked at my left hand same finger at the second knuckle it went straight through about the same amount was sticking out both sides I went to my truck got a pair of pliers pulled it out myself wrapped it up went back to work never went to the Dr in cold weather that finger will still hurt lol

I hate comparing nascar to any other sport but nascar likes to...so to your point...some data is shared to all mlb and nfl teams...some isnt...but they ALL practice...and even more so at the highest levels. Chase's argument made no sense. KFB has been complaining about lack of practice for 2 years now...yet Jimmy Johnson says it and NOW it's a topic? Ugh
Why not? Even in a simulator you can’t replicate driver data, and you can copy the entire setup. If you can’t copy and paste in a simulator, you’re certainly not going to be able to irl.
The beer can/bottle debate is so interesting to me as a Canadian. Especially a resident of Ontario. Everyone returns both for a refund. 10 cents each Typically I'd put some beer in the fridge then refill the case as I empty them. When the case is full and the fridge is empty it goes right back to the beer store. Two dollars and forty cents credit to the next case. Or cash in hand. In Ontario it's called the "Beer Store" hard liquor and wine is bought at the LCBO
I witnessed my Dad ( Ralph) flip an Allis Chalmers HD 15 off of our Freuhauf goose neck trailer when I was 12. The bulldozer barely fit on this trailer and my Dad was rushing because it was the end of the day. Well thankfully it slid off the side of the trailer and the blade control was curved and it caught my father and kept him from getting crushed. All my father cared about was getting the dozer off the trailer and getting the track back on. I was terrified and he knew it.
Theresa such a piece of work.. wouldn’t sell junior some useless land cuz she wanted to hold on to it for no reason. Such an awful heartless person it seems
The Dozer story reminds me of Daytona when he flipped then got back out of the ambulance, climbed back in and took off to a pit with no one there.Oh and my beer is either a Bottle or a CanBottle...lol. Yanno companies do make aluminum bottles now. Best of both worlds...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear it was always Jimmie and Dale doing the tadem during that era, and it was always Dale pushing Jimmie because Jimmie was always incapable of pushing Dale, Jr would just pull away and they couldn't stay locked if Jimmie was the pusher, i have a theory that Jimmie was lifting just enough whenever Jr was infront so that way theyd have to swap positions and Dale would always be the guy pushing, Jr was extremely talented while not seeing whats infront of him, just get hooked up and push like hell, and Jimmie wasnt as comfortable doing so. Weird theory, but i always thought, "Why the hell can't Jimmie push like his teammates? It's always Dale pushing him, and Dale can't make a move for the win if he's stuck behind Jimmie"
I’m in the equipment business and it is not easy to flip a dozer. I would have loved to have seen that. Just because he kept on going and wasn’t hurt. I watched you and your father (met you both but you would never know) for many years and followed you after your driving career. My father was a very intelligent man but common sense not so much at times. He Would injure himself (tree accident or falling off a 10ft retaining wall) and keep going just like your dad. Break a bone and beg not to go to the hospital. Put duct tape over something and try and hide it from mom 😂 I would always get the call and the first thing my mom would say is “he’s ok now but …” I can’t help but think they would have gotten along well. Their ethics and demeanors similar. There is nobody like your father or mine. Can’t duplicate them but they are Both great men. He would have turned 92 yesterday and this was great therapy for me to hear. Thank you. I wish the best for you and your family.
Put cb radios in the cars with everybody on the same channel then each crew could have their own channel for private conversations then back on main channel
8:32 we have an empty 55 gallon drum of methanol we use to hold our cans for crushing them: 7 tall drawstring bags full of cans will fill a 55 gallon drum and crushed they will fit in a steel trashcan with a 30 gallon black garbage bag 😁
I have raced in nascar lower divisions. You either have natural ability or you don’t. Can’t put it in a driver and you can’t take it out. You can only learn so much. You can feel the car or you can’t. I was totally self funded and naturally able you can feel it in your butt feet and hands
On the bottle or can discussion. I'm with Dale Jr., Cold! But when drinking with the wife, I would rather be hit on the head with a empty can than a empty bottle. My wife is not mean. Sometimes she just wants to get her point across to me!🤣
the chainsaw story I'm pretty sure is about one of his sponsors. he told it in the dale documentary. dale sr accidentally cut a limb off a tree the guy didn't want cut
Let The Driver and his Spotter Communicate Together and don’t go back to other drivers communicating with each other it was stupid then and it would be stupid now. They need to worry about Racing Instead of Bullshit. How about this let’s get rid of the Restrictor Plates and all of the other Bullshit at Daytona and Talladega.
THE INTIMIDATOR WAS A DIFFERENT BREED OF MAN!! THEY DON'T MAKE MEN LIKE HIM OR YOUR GRANDDADDY RALPH OR MY OWN DADDY!!! THE ONLY TIME MY DADDY GOT IMMEDIATE ATTENTION WAS WHEN HE WAS CUTTING A HOLE FOR A DOOR UNDER AN OLDER HOUSE USING A CHAINSAW INSTEAD OF A SKILL SAW AND THE CHAINSAW HIT A BIG KNOT AND OR NAILS OR BOTH AND IT KICKED THE CHAINSAW BACK TO DADDY'S FACE AND PRAISE GOD HE WAS WEARING GLASSES. THE CHAINSAW BENT THE METAL AT THE TOP OF THE GLASSES AND STARTED CUTTING HIS FACE AT HIS EYEBROW AND IT POPPED THE LENS OUT AND BENT THE BOTTOM METAL OF HIS GLASSES FRAME AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE LAID A HUMAN HAIR BETWEEN WHERE THE CHAINSAW CUT FROM HIS EYEBROW AND HIS EYE AND HIS TEAR DUCT AND IT CUT THROUGH THE ROOF OF HIS MOUTH AND LIPS BEFORE HE GOT IT AWAY FROM HIS FACE. I EAS PREGNANT WITH MY BABY SON WHEN MAMA CALLED TO TELL ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE 90-100MPH TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN I WAS TAKEN TO THE ROOM HE WAS IN WAITING FOR THE SURGEON TO GET DONE WITH THE SURGERY HE WAS DOING SO HE COULD TAKE DADDY TO SURGERY AND HE WAS LAYING THERE CALM AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AND THE STAFF HAD STOPPED THE BLEEDING AND THEY HAD GAUZE LAYING OVER THE WHOLE AREA THAT HAD BEEN CUT. WELL, WHEN I SAW HIM AND KNEW HE WOULD BE OKAY,I WALKED BACK OUT TO THE WAITING ROOM WHERE MAMA WAS AND I FAINTED. I WAS ALWAYS A DADDY'S GIRL AND EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T SEE THE INJURY UNTIL AFTER SURGERY, I JUST LOST CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE MY DADDY WAS HURT BUT TO HIM IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. THE SURGEON DID SUCH A GREAT JOB,YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE HE'D EVER COME CLOSE TO BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF THAT CHAINSAW.. MY HUSBAND AT THE TIME WAS AT WORK FRAMING HOUSES FOR DADDY AND MAMA SOMEHOW GOT SOMEONE TO GO TO THAT JOB SITE TO TELL MY HUSBAND TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL. WHICH HE DID. BUT HE WASN'T NO WHERE HALF THE MAN MY DADDY WAS 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. I wish the best for you and your family.
Just listening to the Marlin Yoder podcast it was great and we also watch Hunter Yoder race Monster Energy Supecross
Handle name do it for Dale you have to be a cleetus fan!!!
Put cb radios in the cars with everybody on the same channel then each crew could have their own channel for private conversations then back on main channel
Dale Sr just out here pushing trees around.
My brother in law loves his beer in a glass bottle
I prefer a can beer 🍺
Dale I gotta say the stories you say about your dad are identical to my dad.
8:32 we have an empty 55 gallon drum of methanol we use to hold our cans for crushing them:
7 tall drawstring bags full of cans will fill a 55 gallon drum and crushed they will fit in a steel trashcan with a 30 gallon black garbage bag 😁
You all ways bring duck tape when you use a a chain saw
Practice.
Wonder how Dale Sr would like NASCAR in 2024 and if it grown from 2001 compared to maybe NFL
I have raced in nascar lower divisions. You either have natural ability or you don’t. Can’t put it in a driver and you can’t take it out. You can only learn so much. You can feel the car or you can’t. I was totally self funded and naturally able you can feel it in your butt feet and hands
Correct.
On the bottle or can discussion. I'm with Dale Jr., Cold! But when drinking with the wife, I would rather be hit on the head with a empty can than a empty bottle. My wife is not mean. Sometimes she just wants to get her point across to me!🤣
the chainsaw story I'm pretty sure is about one of his sponsors. he told it in the dale documentary. dale sr accidentally cut a limb off a tree the guy didn't want cut
#3 Was a bad dude.
I have owned and operated bull dozers. I don’t think I could get right back in mine if I flipped it. That takes some stones to jump back in.
I've never consumed alcohol and I never will. Same goes for smoking and illegal drugs.
Yeah if you stop and look the wound you may not want to continue working, better to get done and then see how bad it is. 😂
Cool story
Why didn't u go drive that number 3 car.? That's my big question.? You cld have saved Nascar!!!
Yeah studying tape has been a thing since the video camera was invented hahahahaha
👍🏻
Where can you get a new can crusher?
Call it radio ga ga
Mix it up. Aluminum bottle is the best
I mean if you're going to complain about not being able to pass you can't be for sharing data
So.... what's the book???
12:34 ‘Driver #8’
It’s a good read.
Every man, (and not just a few women) has had a bad encounter or two with power tools. Battle scars!! They'll learn ya to be careful! 😂
Almost unsubscribed because of the ignorance in the beginning...
But the last statement still gives me hope that kids might actually "listen"!
💪
Let The Driver and his Spotter Communicate Together and don’t go back to other drivers communicating with each other it was stupid then and it would be stupid now. They need to worry about Racing Instead of Bullshit. How about this let’s get rid of the Restrictor Plates and all of the other Bullshit at Daytona and Talladega.
Dale was a man
THE INTIMIDATOR WAS A DIFFERENT BREED OF MAN!! THEY DON'T MAKE MEN LIKE HIM OR YOUR GRANDDADDY RALPH OR MY OWN DADDY!!! THE ONLY TIME MY DADDY GOT IMMEDIATE ATTENTION WAS WHEN HE WAS CUTTING A HOLE FOR A DOOR UNDER AN OLDER HOUSE USING A CHAINSAW INSTEAD OF A SKILL SAW AND THE CHAINSAW HIT A BIG KNOT AND OR NAILS OR BOTH AND IT KICKED THE CHAINSAW BACK TO DADDY'S FACE AND PRAISE GOD HE WAS WEARING GLASSES. THE CHAINSAW BENT THE METAL AT THE TOP OF THE GLASSES AND STARTED CUTTING HIS FACE AT HIS EYEBROW AND IT POPPED THE LENS OUT AND BENT THE BOTTOM METAL OF HIS GLASSES FRAME AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE LAID A HUMAN HAIR BETWEEN WHERE THE CHAINSAW CUT FROM HIS EYEBROW AND HIS EYE AND HIS TEAR DUCT AND IT CUT THROUGH THE ROOF OF HIS MOUTH AND LIPS BEFORE HE GOT IT AWAY FROM HIS FACE. I EAS PREGNANT WITH MY BABY SON WHEN MAMA CALLED TO TELL ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DROVE 90-100MPH TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN I WAS TAKEN TO THE ROOM HE WAS IN WAITING FOR THE SURGEON TO GET DONE WITH THE SURGERY HE WAS DOING SO HE COULD TAKE DADDY TO SURGERY AND HE WAS LAYING THERE CALM AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED AND THE STAFF HAD STOPPED THE BLEEDING AND THEY HAD GAUZE LAYING OVER THE WHOLE AREA THAT HAD BEEN CUT. WELL, WHEN I SAW HIM AND KNEW HE WOULD BE OKAY,I WALKED BACK OUT TO THE WAITING ROOM WHERE MAMA WAS AND I FAINTED. I WAS ALWAYS A DADDY'S GIRL AND EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T SEE THE INJURY UNTIL AFTER SURGERY, I JUST LOST CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE MY DADDY WAS HURT BUT TO HIM IT WAS NO BIG DEAL. THE SURGEON DID SUCH A GREAT JOB,YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE HE'D EVER COME CLOSE TO BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF THAT CHAINSAW.. MY HUSBAND AT THE TIME WAS AT WORK FRAMING HOUSES FOR DADDY AND MAMA SOMEHOW GOT SOMEONE TO GO TO THAT JOB SITE TO TELL MY HUSBAND TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL. WHICH HE DID. BUT HE WASN'T NO WHERE HALF THE MAN MY DADDY WAS 🙏🙏🙏
