I had no idea how much history Zak Brown had in racing! This is exactly why I like you interviewing people like him. I'm suprised that he even had the time to do it, but thanks for the interview
I can see why that would be a hard investment for him. Yes, McLaren is very competitive in Formula 1, but they still have work to do in IndyCar. Are they competitive, yes. Are they championship contenders, at the moment no. So they need to build on that I think. Plus, it’s not about just buying charters. It’s buying or building a shop for that NASCAR effort. It’s hiring people for that effort. That’s a lot to invest, and also it’s going to take time to find the right people for it. Like in any form of racing, most of the highly sought people are already hired. Plus, you don’t want to spread yourself too thin. When McLaren started the down spiral after 2012. You could point at the road car program as a reason. Zak isn’t about to go down that road again with McLaren.
As a Red Bull fan, Zak Brown is gigantic tool. As an American, I'm embarrassed that, as a massive tool, he represents my country in F1. I'll hand it to him for rebuilding McLaren, without Newey, but every single time Zak opens his mouth, I'm embarrassed.
@@nevelsjohnI'm not happy with him for jerking Palou around but I understand he's on a driver hoarding binge to try and stack his deck but just sitting down yakking- I don't think he's a tool. Or not a total tool.😅
Zak Brown is amazing, loved this interview! Learned so much about his career, got a great scoop on how he wants the F1 team to play for the remainder of the season, and was overall inspired to continue fighting to build my own career in the wild industry that is racing!
The way Dale’s voice speeds up when he’s talking about indycar personalities… the PASSION. Indycar is smothering their stars and the product is so ripe for improved management. A fantastic discussion with one of the best and smartest brains in Motorsports.
What a great listen. I have always been a diehard NASCAR fan, but casual F1 fan. I think part of that is never having a driver or team that I could really connect with and become a major fan for the way Hendrick Motorsports and Jeff Gordon did when I was a kid. The combination of Zak Brown and his american roots, and Lando Norris has made me a massive McLaren fan the last few years.
This was a fantastic episode. I’ve always gotten the impression that Zak is one of the best conversationalists in motorsports and genuinely loves racing. Great work putting this one together Jr. Absolute home run.
Zak Brown has to be the most relatable, likable boss in all of motorsports. He's always smiling, and always seems to have a positive comment when asked. I'd say everyone at the MTC would run through a wall for him.
Gigantic hats off to Zak Brown, who has overseen one of the greatest comebacks in F1 history. I've been a McLaren fan since I was a kid and it's great to finally see them back on the right track.
I love all the old NASCAR guys and their stories. I’ve loved Indy care racing since the year before Mario won in 1969. I almost skipped this episode because I had no idea who Zack was. WOW!! Was I wrong. In my opinion this was your best interview yet, Jr. Your interest and enthusiasm was palpable. I enjoy your channel! Keep em coming.
Good day from Norfolk UK. A great interview and so much information which for many will be enlightening. Keep up the good work Jr, great work. regards, RWF.
To hear Dale talk about his dad’s Nova at the end. I think I speak for all the fans when I say thanks, Dale Jr, for being so open and authentic with all of us. We love it all. It’s so generous to share all he does. It’s so unique, and makes us all better for knowing what he shares with us.
Zak is a good dude. Ruthless competitor. Made an amazing decision swooping up OP and not only getting Lando but able to keep him around when the team was flopping and everyone was wanting Lando
This is one of the greatest interviews i have ever had the pleasure to watch. I wish it had kept going for a couple more hours. Zak is amazing and comes off as a fun guy. He also has an incredible car collection that includes some historic F1 cars. Even as a Ferrari fan it is impossible not to root for Zak, Lando and Oscar to do well and take the title. Well done as always. Thanks.
JR. Once again A+ show. I love what you and your team are doing. YOU'RE a true stewart of Nascar. There are a few names in Nascar such as yours, will stand the test of time.
The best way to improve the INDYCAR broadcasts… find a way to run it commercial free like F1 OR at least drastically minimize the ad time. Watching the 500 this year I was absolutely shocked at how little they showed the racing vs ads.
Agree about the ads but the alternative is, like F1 TV, a subscription. When I ask myself would I prefer ad-free and, say, $75 for a season or free with adverts, it's a toss up.
That was absolutely a fantastic watch. One of the best episodes I've seen. Keep up the good work, Junebug. Dirty Mo media bring some of the best content to the Internet thank you!
We used to have a thing called “trading paint,” I believe. An F1 driver and a NASCAR driver would swap rides and run qualifying laps. I’d really love to see that come back annually. This is great opportunity for Jr Motorsports and Mclaren to gang up and make this a permanent thing! It could attract lots of additional sponsorship and a lot more drivers to cross over into the other series!!!
Very good interview all around! Dale's questions were very articulated and stated in a manor an experienced interviewer. Dale brought out the most in the career and interests of Zac Brown. Very interesting content!!!!
Being a lifelong McLaren fan, I can’t think of a better man to lead the team, such a gentleman with a great back story and incredible knowledge. We’re spoilt for racing history in the UK but love hearing about American racing history, thanks guys!
Zak Brown is a very interesting dude! I love how he took this team to the next level! And I love how passion got him and McLaren to the top! Thanks DJ! Great listen!
I have to say this interview was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I've always been in and out with F1 and I've never really had a favorite driver or team in F1 but I think I may have to root for McLaren now!
And damn, his off the cuff list of what Indycar could learn from other series to be better.. SPOT ON. he’s the real deal. @indycar are you listening?!! He’s so right about every point he made.
Zak would be fun to work for, he actually cares about EVERY aspect and takes it into perspective. Not many leaders do that but thats why he rose to success like he did. He knows what hes doing and i hope he goes to nascar because he can dominate, hes got the tools, drivers and intelligence
That was a very good interview. My perception of Zak Brown was a stuffed shirt. How wrong I was. His passion for racing came through big time in the interview. No college education and he's running one of the biggest race car organizations in the world. Just goes to show how far passion will get you. I am now a mango fan.
I agree. I assumed he was a grifter when I first saw him in his new role at McLaren. But he’s anything but. He will lead F1 one day, and now that I know he was tapped to be number 2 already, I’m even more sure of it. That’s probably a good thing.
Hey Dale, awesome interview man, really frikkn awesome. From dowunder, thankyou. How good is Zac, man some people are just born to do a certain thing, he is doin it, thanks for gettn him on, really appreciate it.
What the hell? How do you keep putting out episodes that are better than the last? Awesome interview once again. I knew nothing about McLaren and couldn’t stop watching. I was late to work because it was so good! I know Rogan gets the most notoriety for podcast but Dirty Mo should be right up there with him.
Im well impressed with what Zak is doing with mclaren. As far f1 goes i thought they were finished when Ron Dennis was booted out. But Zak has got them back to the front and hopefully they can keep the momentum going. Great job Zak.
Feedback as requested: Zack was an excellent guest. I do miss ones like this. I subscribed to you after watching the Tony Stewart interview. Its what i like.
Wow!! Dale Jr and his guest list. Talk about a wide variety. And we ain't talking about any kind of slouch here. Y'all should be very proud of how far you have came from, lucky to get Dale Jr himself, To the likes of Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs, multi-billionaire "Roger Penske", Mario Andretti and now Zac Brown. Wow!!
Listening in from Reading Berkshire in England. As a kid I was a number 3 fan and when I could catch any footage of nascar over here was always looking for your results. Loved this interview. In the 80’s dad raced Honda ATC’s and they did a race in the infield of BRANDS HATCH just before the F1 race, we got to see the great Senna race in his early days. Take Zack’s offer up and go watch F1, highly recommend Silverstone
I spent my career in sales/customer management and when you spot a real deal shark? you know it. Zac is a star - So Question I'd ask Zac if I saw him is, Why the hell haven't you closed a Netflix deal for Indy???
Best interviewer on TV! Jr. gets more out of guests than anyone, and brings the viewer right into the room. Dale could interview the village dog catcher and make it fun, funny, and interesting. This was an excellent show; what a success story this self-made Zak shared.
First time I saw Zak Brown, I wondered how an American became the head of McLaren racing. Just a great story. I too, used to go to Riverside in it's best years. Also the Long Beach Grand Prix from the beginning.
I think IndyCar has to find a way to expose their drivers and humanize them more, just like what they doing here with Zak Brown. I never heard of this guy before today but he's very interesting. I think IndyCar needs to get their drivers more exposure to show their Personalities !

Jr. I am 80 yrs old ,I never miss your interviews, But this one was out standing ,keep up the great work that you do for the sport.
Thank you for watching Bob!
❤
I’m also 80 and I’m happy to say I’m still racing a Formula car.
Dale Jr has to get Daniel Riccardo on the show to discuss about being a Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan and his racing career
Especially given recent events! Would love to see the honey badger run some stock cars.
@@iSmokePremiums Didn't he get to drive the yellow #3 around COTA?
@@thawhizard6224 he did
He drove with the number three for a while when he was with red bull. This is when I was watching ages ago but I remember he did.
This would be so freaking cool
I had no idea how much history Zak Brown had in racing! This is exactly why I like you interviewing people like him. I'm suprised that he even had the time to do it, but thanks for the interview
C'mon guys, buy a couple of charters and go racing. Earnhardt McLaren Racing!
Can you imagine!!!!
With Daniel Ricciardo in the driver’s seat!
HELL YEAH!! THINKING THE SAME THING!! LET'S GO!!
Ew charters
I can see why that would be a hard investment for him. Yes, McLaren is very competitive in Formula 1, but they still have work to do in IndyCar. Are they competitive, yes. Are they championship contenders, at the moment no. So they need to build on that I think.

Not a F1 guy, but Zak was a fantastic interview. I learned a lot
As a redbull fan, I could care less about Zack brown.
As an American, I am the biggest Zack brown fan ever.
As a Red Bull fan, Zak Brown is gigantic tool.
As an American, I'm embarrassed that, as a massive tool, he represents my country in F1.
I'll hand it to him for rebuilding McLaren, without Newey, but every single time Zak opens his mouth, I'm embarrassed.
@@nevelsjohnsame but I’m a McLaren fan. Never felt more conflicted about a person
That being said this was an awesome interview
at first I was like "oh great another suckoff session with a CEO" and then I saw his shoes and I was like "oh nice another suckoff session with a CEO"
Couldn't care less* 😉

Great episode. Love it when y'all step outside the NASCAR world.
Yes!
The Zac Brown musician interview would be cool, especially if you got him to talk about the things in life he modeled after Jimmy Buffet.
The way Dale’s voice speeds up when he’s talking about indycar personalities… the PASSION. Indycar is smothering their stars and the product is so ripe for improved management. A fantastic discussion with one of the best and smartest brains in Motorsports.
Absolutely the best guest segment to date. Thanks for broadcasting this one for us to hear.

Oh geez not another one 🤢🤮 but I do like Lando but he's too soft to win it all, Piastri on the other hand...
This was a great interview, top 5 for sure. Thanks for bringing him in Jr., and thanks to Zak for agreeing.
This was one of Dale’s best jobs as an interviewer. Prepared. Timely. Respected his guest. Really enjoyed the whole thing.
This was a fantastic episode. I’ve always gotten the impression that Zak is one of the best conversationalists in motorsports and genuinely loves racing. Great work putting this one together Jr. Absolute home run.
Avengers: we are the best crossover.
Dale and Zak: hold our beers.
Zak Brown has to be the most relatable, likable boss in all of motorsports. He's always smiling, and always seems to have a positive comment when asked. I'd say everyone at the MTC would run through a wall for him.
another fantastic chat with a great guest and happy to see how grateful you were to him for helping to save that piece of racing history..
I love seeing Dale Jr. giddy talking about wheel of Fortune🤣🤣🤣

Grew up seeing NASCAR on TV with my dad. Now I follow F1 closely and NASCAR has a back seat to that. Excellent interview! Loved every minute.
Thanks for this interview. It is great to get to know Zack , his history and background. Great fun for me.
To hear Dale talk about his dad’s Nova at the end. I think I speak for all the fans when I say thanks, Dale Jr, for being so open and authentic with all of us. We love it all. It’s so generous to share all he does. It’s so unique, and makes us all better for knowing what he shares with us.
Said it before and I will say it again, you bring the thrill of motor sports right into my living room. Thanks Dale. A fan always.
Wow, thanks!
I’m a huge deal junior fan and I’m a huge Zak Brown fan. That was a great interview Junior!
Damn good interview and listen. It's awesome to listen to two real gear heads and racers talk.
Zak is a good dude. Ruthless competitor.
Made an amazing decision swooping up OP and not only getting Lando but able to keep him around when the team was flopping and everyone was wanting Lando
Zak is awesome and as usual Dale brought this interview to the best place possible!
That was probably the best interview I have listened to on your show. 300 MILLION!
I have so much respect for Dale Jr. What he's done for the Sim Racing community is invaluable. Such a smart guy, and a great interviewer.
This is one of the greatest interviews i have ever had the pleasure to watch. I wish it had kept going for a couple more hours. Zak is amazing and comes off as a fun guy.

Great interview. Nothing better than two super smart and savvy guys talking about the sport they love.
Amazing episode!! Zak is such a great character and dale does the job of interviewing with a light mood perfectly
What a wonderful interview.
I think it’s tremendously important for motor sports to be intertwined. In one way or another. The love for racing is a universal one. 😊
Exactly! 👍🏻
What a great interview!
Thank you so much Dale and Zak. The insights into both Zak and more into Dale are fantastic to us fans.
Thanks for having this talk with Zac Brown, and asking him to share his background with us.
Fantastic show yall. almost brought me to tears hearing Dale thank Zak for taking care of the Nova. Thank you crew!
I love nascar as equal as much as I love f1. This is so glorious to listen to.
This is my favorite piece of media of the year. I love seeing my two favorite sports come together like this. This is Jr. At his absolute best.

Great interview. So good to have a crossover between F1 & Nascar.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing interview. I loved it. Junior is so good at doing these interviews and Zak Brown is a remarkable guy.
Zak Brown makes me proud to be an American F1 fan! Fantastic interview Jr!!
Just an FYI, the F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo chose the #3 drivers number in hornor of Dale Sr.
Verstappen chose 33 in his early RB days because he was a fan of Dale Sr as well. Awesome to see F1 guys admiring NASCAR legends.
We used to have a thing called “trading paint,” I believe. An F1 driver and a NASCAR driver would swap rides and run qualifying laps. I’d really love to see that come back annually. This is great opportunity for Jr Motorsports and Mclaren to gang up and make this a permanent thing!

Glad to see and hear the cross talk between the different race series. Great guest to have on your show!!
That was a great podcast … thourghly enjoyed it. Great job Dirty Mo Media and Dale Jr. #1 !!!!!
Being a lifelong McLaren fan, I can’t think of a better man to lead the team, such a gentleman with a great back story and incredible knowledge.
We’re spoilt for racing history in the UK but love hearing about American racing history, thanks guys!
You said “Let us Know” … Great interview. Love your excitement and passion to know more about people. We get so much from it. Thanks DJr
Over the years that I’ve listen to you that was on of your better conversations!!
Zak Brown is a very interesting dude! I love how he took this team to the next level! And I love how passion got him and McLaren to the top! Thanks DJ! Great listen!
Even if I wasn’t a racing fan I think this would be a joyous conversation to listen to.
A couple of good blokes.
I have to say this interview was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I've always been in and out with F1 and I've never really had a favorite driver or team in F1 but I think I may have to root for McLaren now!
You'll love Oscar piastri. You'll like Lando but you'll love Oscar
Dude you knocked it out of the park !!! thank you ,more of these please
Brilliant interview. Know Zac primarily from F1 but was great to hear about his background, interest in other series and love for motorsports.

Wow, everything you ever wanted to know about Zak ! Great work!
As a huge Indycar, NASCAR, IMSA and F1 fan, I loved this interview. Great questions as always, Jr. Thanks
My sentiments as well!
Never seen one of these before but you can tell Zak Brown is a great guy
I love your appreciation for open wheel Dale. Leads to some great guests
Great job JR! Love F1 as well and cool to see Zak there. Love this interview.

Great episode! Two giants of the big racing leagues having an awesome conversation
Every time I have never heard of this person who is the guest, it becomes a favorite 😂
Listening in from Reading Berkshire in England. As a kid I was a number 3 fan and when I could catch any footage of nascar over here was always looking for your results. Loved this interview. In the 80’s dad raced Honda ATC’s and they did a race in the infield of BRANDS HATCH just before the F1 race, we got to see the great Senna race in his early days. Take Zack’s offer up and go watch F1, highly recommend Silverstone
Fantastic episode of an impressive man interviewing another impressive man! Thanks Jr!
That was fantastic. Great Interview!
I spent my career in sales/customer management and when you spot a real deal shark? you know it. Zac is a star - So Question I'd ask Zac if I saw him is, Why the hell haven't you closed a Netflix deal for Indy???
The first two seasons of 100 Days to Indy are on Netflix. I wouldnt be surprised if they do a full season series with them in the future
That’s Penske Group job

He let Daniel Ricciardo drive the blue and yellow Wrangler car at Austin a few years ago.
