Whole lot of grown men in tears watching this, thanks for the memories RC.
Been waiting 18 years for that!
I didn’t expect to get emotional about it but it sure snuck up on me. Damn
Not wrong two of holy numbers 3 n 43
Not gonna lie I cried wishing dale was still here
You screwed up on not retiring #3 for Dale Earnhardt Sr. Would have been the proper thing to do. Just my opinion only. We loved Dale Earnhardt Sr and Richard Petty. Shame on you! The Oppermans from Texas! 🚖3️⃣😇🙏
When Richard dropped the hammer and you heard the fans, that brought a tear to my eye. RIP INTIMIDATER #3
Yeah it sure got dusty in here also
Seeing that black number #3 car going around the track on the pace laps going 200 mph is truly awesome, what’s interesting is the fact that Richard Childress put in a different gear, so it did bump the chip a little bit but cleaned up nicely, but what a great video!! that’s a nice way to remember one of the greatest drivers of all time Rest In Peace to the Intimidator, truly a special experience, indeed!! 😎😎
Richard, was probably crying the whole time.
I'm sure Richard was doing everything he could to hold back the tears
@@TSi99999I can join the dust
This sport needs more like Richard Childress. Down to earth guys that helped build this sport. Love you for this man. Dale would’ve been DAMN PROUD! #3 for life!
ClawBoss I’ve seen u on tiktok with the buss content
Wow I miss Dale
Dude I didn’t know you were an Earnhardt fan I love sr and jr I think jr should have gotten the chance to drive the car around the track it was his dad after all
Dang I watch you but didn’t know you like nascar! Super cool that people I watch like my favorite sport!
instablaster
NASCAR isn’t the same without Dale.
Chris Sauer AMEN AMEN, AMEN!!!
Chris Sauer it’s not the same without him and Jeff Gordon battling
Nascar is never gonna be the same with the current personatlies. Awful. Just awful. Barely any rivalries.
And the car n aero package they had from 90s to till cot was the best plate racing every lap u were on the edge of your seat !
Sport died with him.
That can just make a grown man cry
Jared LaFleur I agree!!!!!
Jared LaFleur damn straight
That DID make a grown man cry.
I miss Dale
Amen
That generation of Nascar stock car was truly beautiful. The lines and stance was perfect.
Spect Ator absolutely.
AMEN !!!!!!
Godbless you Richard for doing that. Their ain’t words good enough to say how awesome that was🤘😎🤘3
Renaming the track Earnhardt Speedway would help with our mourning though!
Seeing that drive by view from pit at 4:19 gave me the chills that sound is still pure
Best sounding cup engine ever, by far! The new package sounds terrible
Plus the music in the background 🥲
For those 3.5 seconds (time of the fly-by shot) every hair on my body stood up and a flashback to my childhood with a warming of my heart. So much emotion in less than 4 seconds
4:22 that’s the sound we all know and love.
wow, made me tear up after Richard childress said, can you imagine what dale was thinking!
And he was shaking with adrenaline getting out
Me too!!
Well said!!!!
Now that’s what a racecar should look and sound like. Glad I was there when Dale won his 76th.
I missed that Fall Race and have regrets, because he showed the world that his stats at this track were all the truth it was his track period, his son makes a good stand in at this track though.
Nascar truly went to shit in 2008 with cot car still sounded like till 07 but man 90s to 2003 aero package n car set ups were pure bliss
The emotions you feel for a man you never met but knew so well. I miss that man very much.
If Austin Dillon wins tomorrow I can just imagine the emotions.
Richard Childress is a True Bad Ass. See him drive that thing like a boss...
Hammer down & hitting the rev limiter.
And Johnny Morris was shaking like he was riding a Tornado.
Thanks RC and all of RCR.
In his defense I believe his hand was shaking just from the speed and the bumpiness of the track.
U know Childress wanted to stay out there and run about 20 laps.
I teared up when I saw all the crews saluting like if it was dale
I loved seeing Richard and Johnny run this car. Bought tears to my eyes. I will always remember this. Thank you
That's awesome....I get it ....It's Richard's car .........but.......they should have brought JR out of the booth to rip it ......The place would have exploded !! Just my opinion. JR drives Richard in the passenger seat. I would have shut the race off after that cause there really would have been nothing else to see.
@@bcummings2187 That would be great. Maybe next year! Thanks
@@TheJb19591 @Jimmy Battenfield....Either way it was great seeing that car on the track 👍
@@bcummings2187 Sadly I read somewhere that Jr stated that he doesn't want to ride his father cars, it makes him sad and extremely uneasy.
Words cant describe how I felt watching this, thank you Richard Childress.
If this didn’t make a tear come to your eye! Every person in those stands were on their feet as if Dale himself were in that car! No one was more deserving of that honor to ride with Richard than Johnny!
If you look hard enough perhaps you can see a 3rd guy riding in that car, not physically but in spirit.
My eyes have tears coming out of them and Richard still has it he was flying I loved it
I thank God I was alive when Dale Earnhardt was on the track. Thank you Richard. You made us happy.
Rob Hawkins ...I live very close to Daytona Int’l Speedway and have followed Dale’s career from the very beginning of his Winston Cup days. I will NEVER stop telling folks of the times I was able to get up close to The Man. The unrestricted access we had to all the drivers back then was truly unbelievable, even more so than what a fan with a garage pass can get today. I’m here to tell you his aura is STILL with us in that garage area, even though he’s been gone almost 19 years now...
@@twoblacklabs904 I couldn't agree more!! In '99 at Charlotte the Sunday race got rained out. I have pictures of me helping the team push Dales car back down into garage area!! I will NEVER forget that awesome experience brother!!
Richard Childress is a great man, in the summer he met my son at Victory Junction and saw him this weekend in Talladega and remembered him. He then took Adam over to the car and let him stick his head in it. Awesome experience for him. Thank you
I'm 35 years old and senior was my idle. Still remember the day... not going to lie i have tears seeing this car out there and Richard turning it loose.
Me too dude, me too
i was there to see dale win his last race and i was there sunday to see richard take that fast hotrod for another ride thank you richard for the memories
Great memories forever 3!
@@brianjoy3407 yes sir brian
850hp and best aero package ever nascar design !
How every Talladega race should be started
Johnny Morris is acting exactly the way I and most every other race fan would act if they had that opportunity. Very cool.
And RC is just a badass. He was hauling the mail thru the tri-oval. Very cool.
Richard let her eat!
He was a driver at one point
No wins though
That had to be very special for Richard Childress too
Kinda errie looking at that car in front of the field and noticing that it STILL looks like the CLASS OF THE FIELD... makes me really wonder if no ones ever really gone after all... ( just a thought in my mind)
Man those cars sounded so good. What a cool thing for Richard to do.
Joe King if they put 180 degree headers on the modern cars they would sound identical to this
@@fsca72 not even close engine had a lot to do with it also plus gear ratio and it has 850hp now today the cars have less power in the engine hardly no noise today's cars at 550hp max and 500hp on mile and a half tracks. back in 90s to till about 2012 nascar had 850 then they took horsepower away to keep cars close and competition but it didn't work the best cars nascar had 90s till 2008! Before cot
@@MRNASCARFAN25 Uhhhh...No bud. They're running the exact same engines they've been running for over a decade, and similar engines for nearly 25 years. Today's cars make much more horsepower than they did back then, they're only artificially restricted with a tapered spacer. Chevrolet is still running the exact same RO7 Engine that was used during the pre COT days and they sounded exactly like this. The sound these cars produce is 100% exhaust.
@@fsca72 Exactly.
@@DerrickRG yea no buddy these cars on plate tracks don't sound like that at all trust me on that the 90s do but today's not even close
Thank you mr childress! To hear the car at full song, to see it at speed and at the same time hear the crowd gave me chills and a good feeling inside that i havent had in a while!
Amen to that!
Here I sit watching this at 51 years old with tears running down my face, Thank you Richard, RIP Dale
you are not that original... many grown men have seen this
and also cried tears.... :) in a way i just meant I agree wholeheartedly
Wow, just wow, I sure do miss Dale! Thank You so much Richard for doing this for all of us #3 fans. We will never forget Dale, and never forget this tribute to Dale and RCR. Amazing, thanks for sharing. Wow, could watch this all day, wheelman right there!!!
Very much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed.
@@RCRracing3 thank you so much richard i was there to see dale win his last race with this fast hotrod and i was there sunday to see you take it for another ride that was awesome made this 50 yr ol man cry forever a fan of dale and you sir what a race that was monday too
Hard to believe Dale has been gone 18 years.
more than half my life, and at 38 myself, still hanging on
as a fan, these moments keep me coming back
That car is as old as I am.
4:20 The sexiest Chevy ever made. She looks and sounds great 💘
Get down on it Richard! Just listen to that car at 4:20 sounds like a fighter jet. That’s the way NASCAR should be. #DaleEarnhardt#3
It did didn't it WOW
They need to bring that back lol
@@jim394 Did you see the Gen 7 exhaust? Its apparently the same as this era's exhaust..
When nascar was running 850hp a race !!!! And not this crap 550hp ! At plate races and 500 hp on mile or 1.5 mile tracks let this sink in arca has more power then nascar and so does xfinity series !
@@jim394 yep with that aero package and engine package 850hp!
That car could probably have won the race that day!
I have zero doubts it could have. Those cars were faster. These cars today ain't what they were.
Especially if Dale Earnhardt was driving it
That car has easily 400 more hp
God I wish they would run the old sb2.2s again
Especially with the old crew Kevin Hamlin as the CC and Chocolate Myers on gas
4:21 big smile and teared up. Way to honor Dale.
I was speechless the whole time......that was perfect. They just need to take to every race track for a season and run parade laps prior to the race.
Thank you, Richard.
I've watched this at least a dozen times now and it's still giving me chills.
Same here!!!
@@RCRracing3 this would’ve been so interesting if you parked next to Austin’s #3 car. The original, and the current.
Brought a tear to my eye when Richard opened that thing up! Love Richard & RCR!
Speechless with a side of chills...
I'm so happy that y'all put this video together there hasn't been very much coverage on this NBC really messed it up Jeff burdens interview with a driver with more important I guess then watching the iconic 3 car go around the track one last time
I couldnt agree more, dale jr said "hes going to come down the front stretch wide open" and what do they do? show us the opening line up rather than multiple angles of this moment that made tears come down my face 4:18
Dale's smiling with a tear in his eye and a smile on his face.
Love it. Boy seeing that 3 come by the front straightaway stole my heartbeat. 💯 miss dale
Still miss you dearly Dale. As a young child you were my hero. 3 forever
When he opened it up the car came alive just like day it won!
I oways believe cars have souls and it didn’t let them down at all.
Man, that was absolutely amazing. I miss the sound of those Winston Cup cars.
I lost My Daddy in May Of this Year, and this made me cry tears of joy for the first time since he passed.. Thank you soo Much RC. My Daddy was a Goodwrench Service Plus Tech for years.... Reason Dale is and will always be our hero.
Keep up the good fight Cody....wouldnt be surprised to hear Dale and dad met somewheres up above and already had a cold one
Lost my dad May of 2020, I remember all the good times we spent cheering on Dale and RC since I was a little man back in the 80s. Thank you Richard, for all those years of great memories. I sometimes sit and like to think from time to time, that my dad might bump into Dale upstairs, and thank him for all those memories as well.
I miss that sound. I miss that look. We had it so good.
Thank you Mr. Childress never thought i would never see a 3 Gm Goodwrench car at Talladega again
I love how at the end he says “I can’t get out with out my glasses on,that’s the way Dale would do it”. True friendship like that lives on!!
FINALLY!!! Been waiting for this for a LONG TIME!!!!
RIP DALE EARNHARDT!!!
Miss my hero!!!?
I love this so much but I sure do miss the sound of those cars flying around the track
People sometimes forget that before Richard Childress was a car owner, he was a NASCAR driver himself.
That was amazing!!! Can’t believe it!!! I was so happy once I saw the 3 take the corner to the start finish line!!!!!! God bless you Richard And God Bless Dale!!
Please do more stuff like this it keeps Dales memory alive for future generations about the best their ever was old number 3. Got to see that awesomeness 3 times in Atlanta. I believe one time he lapped everybody. 🤘😎🤘
This was so awesome. I'm so happy y'all got to do this. To hear that ol engine scream wide open again and see that iconic 3 back on track... man. What a great tribute to Dale. This brought tears to my eyes. Forever the man, forever a fan. Thank you.
My favorite video of 2019
That thing sounds amazing.
Dang right.
@@RCRracing3 chevrolet horsepower i miss dale thank you mr. childress you are the man
@@RCRracing3 love ya Richard. I just came to see your museum last month and met Chocolate after his sirus show... what a experience. I'm just out of college with a auto bachelors from SIU I want and will work for a Nascar team, hopefully yours. Been looking for job listings everyday on Indeed and Linkedin. I went to all the cup teams shops and yours felt like home, felt eased.
@TNS1089 Dr. Gas boom tubes
God that brought tears to my eyes when ol #3 passed by in front of the stands!!, you could hear everybody yelling!!. Wow, still really emotional to this day losing DALE! That should be a once a year thing for Richard to do at different tracks....
Such a loving tribute. Mad love for you Richard and RCR. That was a heartfelt 20 anniversary lap. RIP Dale. We miss you sir. Amen.
I'm sure Richard had tears in his eyes when he floored it plus it was my late mom favorite driver. God bless No. 3 Goodwrench Car forever. I'm sure my mom would cry if she was still alive to see this!
All you young kids that never saw NASCAR (real Nascar) racing from the 70's / 80's / 90's missed the best form of true stock car racing EVER. Bodies that fit the templates, 5 lug nuts per wheel, a real gear box with a shifter, and a carburetor ... and guys with a set of stones driving them. Real racers who actually knew how to work on their own stuff, and had real personalities.
God how I miss those days.
That was so awesome!!! I was 😢 crying. I can’t imagine the feeling or the goosebumps both of them had, not to forget the fans that watched it LIVE......
Awesome thank you mr Childress if i can ever get to the US i want to see the RCR museum
It's 2023 and I still get goosebumps watching this!!!!
I didn't think i would be emotional watching this video.....wrong....
OMG, what emotion revealed..... AWESOME !!!!
GREAT RICHARD.... Dale was smiling ear to ear....I just know it !!!!
I would like to think that their were 3 people in that car.Dale sr.was in the back.
jeff rader dale was probably in the back telling them how to drive and everything they were doing wrong. LOL
@@CAB75 dam straight he was!
Like in the old Team Monte Carlo commercial when Taz and Jr were in front
You can barely see dale inside the car.
AMEN JEFF....AMEN TO THAT BROTHER
Brings tears to my eyes! Such emotion! "I can't get out without my glasses on. That's the way Dale would do it."--RC😎
Best 3 laps of the season. Only wish he would have done a victory burn out to end it.
Same engine everything the same since 2000 in that car ! Still runs like a dream!
I can't imagine the emotions Richard and Johnny had while lettin Dale's beauty eat . Awesome unbelievable moment, wish that moment could of lasted longer ♥️🏁
I get goosebumps watching this. I can only imagine how good that felt to take that car for a spin. I love RCR and the people you surround yourself with is completely amazing. Johnny was having a grand ole time. Thanks so much for sharing.
RIP Dale. Thank you Mr. Childress.
Hell yeah!!!!! I bet Dale had a smile from ear to ear looking down on you. Thanks for the ride Richard
When I was 8 years old I met Dale and got to shake his hand at Carolina Motor Speedway. Since that day Ive been a Earnhardt fan for life!!! I’ll never forget it!!! Thank you Richard for doing that. It made the hairs on my neck stand up watching. Had to hold back the tears. WOW!!! 3🏁
Thing was bouncing off the limiter.Just fanfreekintastic.
Because he never got it out of second gear....lmao!
@@bryonkidder6199 as he said they had a 300 in it
@@doubleutubefan5 3.50. Had a 3.00 in it originally
Is it weird that this brought tears to my eyes?.... We miss you Dale.
I find myself rewinding the part where Richard opens it up and lets the "Dale" out...over and over and over again. Reliving my childhood when nascar was worth watching! The rivalries, the sounds, the legends, the grit, MAN! Life was good then!!!
I cry twice every time I watch this video. First, when he hammers down and lets it run hard, and then, when he says “can you imagine what Dale was thinking” and has to suddenly stop talking bc of the emotions coming forth. Every damn time, those two moments break me down, in the best and worst ways. I’m so happy for RC that he did this. Connected with his lost friend out there where they both felt at home.
I was there to see that car when dale drove it.
And saw it Sunday brought back so many emotions. Thank u so much for doing this u truly are a great Man U and Johnny for this sport.
Have to admit it, that was cool watching Richard driving the car wondering what he was thinking
He was thinking about Dale❤🖤❤🖤❤🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
I'm guessing he was talking to Dale the whole time.
That made my year! This sport is sorely missing that man......but I hope this sport will never forget who the best to ever do it was
Ok. I can stop cryin' now..... That was so cool. Thank you Mr. Childress for this. I can't stop cryin', dang it !
That was freaking awesome thank you Richard miss you Dale
I bleed Ford blue but that was simply amazing. Tears in my eyes seeing the black Goodwrench Chevy on the track again.
Richard, that was awesome. I miss that car and most of all...we miss you Dale!! Legends never die!!!!
Richard was shaking at the end, I’d like to think it was the emotions overcoming him.
It's amazing that even after this long there's so much emotion, thanks Richard.
THANK YOU RICHARD CHILDRESS FOR THE MEMORIES I BEEN I RACE FAN FOR YEARS AND THE CARS HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS THANK YOU AND DALE SR IS LOOKING DOWN ON US 1 OF YOUR FANS ROY THANKS ROCK AND ROLL AND BE SAFE OUT THERE. 👍💪
To hear THAT car at speed, brings back so many good memories. The Legend lives on in our hearts.
Definitely brought tears to my eyes. I could have watched you do 100 laps!!
Outstanding !!!!!!!! Thank You Richard Childress .... It sounded good up around your 7400 , this will hit millions of views ......... we were all blessed to have the honor to see this .... seeing the response from the fans can best describe the emotion here
Damn onions man. So glad you were able to take that beautiful car for a ride one more time, Richard. Truly awesome.
Thanks for the memories guys.. Nascar has never been the same...
This is the best tribute that I’ve probably seen, almost cried like a baby. Very emotional to see this. Absolutely loved it, way to go Richard & Johnny you both are awesome
If I could like this video a million times I would. That was simply amazing. Thank you for this incredible moment. Put a big lump in my throat and gave me the chills! I still have that race on vhs tape and have the raced version diecast. Thank you Richard Childress! Wowowow
Thank you Richard and Johnny for bringing the man in black, back as the fans cherished it as I did! Got to meet you and Dale a few times at Bristol. Actually flew one of Dales earlier planes. Again, thanks Richard, the sport will never be the same!
I’m speechless... so many thoughts, I’m old enough to remember Dale Sr and watched Daytona 2001 live, and to see this I’m speechless. Awesome..
Man, that was awesome. Would've loved to have been there to see this LIVE. Wow, I'm sure everyone noticed how bad Johnny's hands were shaking. Wonder how his footage turned out, lol.
Dale would been glad to see his ride lives to see Talladega again.
Nice.... this made my heart smile. And I have missed that sound.
Dale would be proud to see what he did to the safety of the sport, and he would be proud of what you guys do to keep remembering his legacy!!! 🏎
Can’t put it in words how special that was. Richard, you are special to nascar and very special to me and my family. God bless you! Dale was looking down grinning from ear to ear mumbling about you weren’t going fast enough!
