He technically did in 2010, if it weren’t for the gimmicky playoff system, Harvick was the points Champion that year with RCR. In fact, if it weren’t for the stupid playoffs, Harvick would’ve been a 4 time Cup Champion.
Kevin was not the only one to practice Dale’s cars. Dave Marcus, Mike Skinner, Ron Hornaday and a host of other drivers has tested the cars over the years.
One of the reasons Dale died was the way he positioned his seat and sat in it in a reclined position. Bill Simpson (Simpson Safety) told him the seat belts were not designed to be used in this fashion, but Dale blew him off.
Bill Simpson told him that because he didn't install his belts according to factory recommendations. Didn't have anything to do with the angle of the seat
@@roberttempleton8112retrospective and discussion is how you learn. People tiptoe like Dale can’t be talked about. Dude killed himself not being willing to change.
should have talked about how you guys discovered coil binding and were .8 sec quicker than Godhardt and he threw a hissy fit saying he'd never drive that setup
That’s a load of BS. They TESTED the car for him they didn’t set it up. He ran his car the way he was comfortable with it and won DESPITE his setup being slower than what some of the drivers who tested for him had.
@@Jpilgrim30 you said it all he had other drivers set his car up .all the proof is out their he even had Dave Marcus set his talladega an Daytona cars up cause he couldn't do it himself
Kevin had an interesting career starting out under Dale and then taking over his car..
To put it lightly…
My favorite driver of all time love harvick dudes a legend!!
Dale really liked Kevin, or else he wouldn't have chosen him to drive for RCR in the first place.
Yeah cause Dale ran RCR. Smh
@@johnglynn9354Yes. He did.
Dale didn't care who ran his car as long as it was his setup. If he liked Kevin he'd have signed him to DEI.
He actually told RC if you don’t sign him, that DEI would.
@@johnglynn9354 Dale and Richard were great friends.
I wish Harvick would have won a championship with R.C.R.

WILL ALWAYS LOVE DALE SR❤❤😂😂🎉🎉
It was not Dale Sr. It was Dale Earnand Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dale hated the (Sr) part
E hated testing.. Dave Marcis did a lot of testing for him as well..
Sounds contradictory to being at one with your car and set up, but he also had so much time in the day.
That was 100% the right thing to say.
I never really knew harvick and earnhardt were so close
By the story it doesn’t seem like they were after that lol
Kevin was not the only one to practice Dale’s cars. Dave Marcus, Mike Skinner, Ron Hornaday and a host of other drivers has tested the cars over the years.
I think testing for others helped Earnhardt earn recognition to get his own ride early in his career.
Balls of Steel!
Good one!
was he universally loved back in his day as well? no one talks about the other side
because this sport's fanbase is a collective 100 IQ
Ripped our butts. Lol
No wonder he ran through so many people is because he sat so low he could barely look above the dash. 😅

Does it make you feel better saying this 23 years later ? You got your 2 cents in an ut doesn't matter now

Found out the hard way he didn't know it all

@@Chiraq312boithat’s what made Dale, and that’s what broke Dale
"This is really boring"
I was thinking this exact thing during my race. I think 96 laps where ran under caution in my split. lol
😂😂😂 ohhhhhhh ouch !
GOD I MISS MY BOY SO SO SO SO BADLY 😢
Jr is as old now as Sr was when he passed on
Too many edibles 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Going to miss kevin in the car
Harvick doesn't do filter mode
should have talked about how you guys discovered coil binding and were .8 sec quicker than Godhardt and he threw a hissy fit saying he'd never drive that setup
Did anyone else notice Bill Jordan in the background?
i think dale had to giggle a little at that joke , but at same time he took his racin serious...
Happens tous all
Dale should have known Kevin was going to double down on him first chance he got. 😂😂😂
I didn’t think a boomer like Dale would be so easily triggered.
I think Dale Sr. saw a bit of himself in the young Kevin Harvick. That's one of the reasons he liked him so much, even if he refused to show it.
nascar pilots arent real pilots rally are the special ones
PRICELESS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂TOTALLY EARNHARDT "INTIMIDATOR " 💯MILLION PERCENT PURE TRUTH 😂😂😂
Whats up gilet crew
Earnhardt was RCR hands down.
Dale was too cool to be safe.
🤦 And that was his demise.

Please do not use that streaming text I can’t watch the video
How's that hate taste. After Charlotte. I bet that hater after taste sucks.
Let's be honest. Dale was a grouch and a dirty entitled driver.
Keep telling yourself that...

I've been watching NASCAR since I was a kid, I am not a die-hard fan but I've heard the same said about him.
Well Sr did think he was God. Not my favorite driver
Dale always had sombody else set his cars up that's why he isn't the best driver ever.a real driver sets his own car up
