David Hobbs may be the most under appreciated man in motorports...really miss him on f1 coverage when nbc had the us rights. Love listening to him. Could listen to this man talk all day every day.
hobbs is my favorite motorsports broadcaster. such a cool dude.
He did good on Speed with the 24 Hrs of Daytona.
Hobbs looks, speaks and acts with youth beyond his actual age, he's great
Years ago I was a cameraman for CBS based out of LA, I was assigned to the Times 500 held at the old Ontario Motor Speedway sometime in the late seventies. I was one of the few on the crew who was a huge NASCAR fan (I'm from Oklahoma). The camera I was operating was the back stretch position which followed the cars out of turn two down the back stretch. It has been so long ago I couldn't tell who the director was or who the announcers were, I think this was a taped race not live. My story is as the cars came down the back stretch the announcers were talking about drafting so I zoomed in on the rear of the lead car and front of the second car as tight as I could to show how close they were. The director started to scream at me "what are doing, what are you doing" at the same time the announces picked up on it and started to tell the audience about close the cars were going close to 200 miles an hour. The next thing I know the director giving me an attaboy all within the same shot! That is a memory I will never forget.
Love David Hobbs! Dale needs to get Cale on the show and ask him about engine noises lol.
Now that's a man that you can have back 50 times. It's a crying shame that we lost Benny because I think like Mr Hobbs we could listen to him and Benny forever.
I'd watch David Hobbs any chance I got. He is one of the best commentators I know of. His range of experience in a car gives him credibility that few of his peers can demonstrate. Another that I enjoyed for hours when I was driving a semi at night was Buddy Baker. I got to talk with him a couple of times on his Sirius/XM radio show and always enjoyed his stories. It was a sad night when I heard the announcement of his passing.
I love listening to Hobbs. But Benny... my all time favorite. I credit BP with really getting me into NASCAR. I was already kind of watching, but BP's enthusiasm and avuncular nature made me a real fan.
Benny is the best there ever was ....... "How did he do that"
Benny was the best Nascar and David Hobbs did Nascar for one network and the U.S. feed for F1. And Ken Squire had control of the English language like no one else. I miss them!
That part about Cale Yarborough making engine noises, like a little kid pretending to drive a racecar, had me rolling. Absolutley hilarious.
David Hobbs is a national treasure. He, Leigh Diffey, and Steve Matchett are doing an event next month in Charlotte. If you have a chance, you must go. The stories are timeless and they're all such great storytellers.
The story with Cale Yarborough making his engine noises around a track is hilarious🤣🤣🇺🇸
Cale comes spinning outta 4
Cale: Skrrrrrrrrrrrr
I remember watching back then - it might have been the 1983 race - and Dale Jr is right you can hear Cale over the radio and I think Squier even mentions it.
@@matthewkent6258 thats awesome!
How cool would it be to have Cale on a Dale Jr podcast
@@matthewkent6258 Cale comes spinning outta 4 and makes contact with the inside wall.
All you hear on cales radio “SKKKKKKKRRTTT BAAAANNG
Love hearing his commentating when watching those old races i am glad to say i grew up with Ned Jarret and Buddy Baker and Benny Parsons
Jim Foxx me too I also miss the old cbs theme song for the opening of a race I will never forget that
david hobbs was the reason i would watch F1 races. everyone was all PC and watched their "P's & Q"s" and there's david hobbs with his 100% completely honest comments during races about blocking, team orders, etc. one favorite was when 2 Jaguars wrecked in a race and bob varsha asked david, "what would be going through your mind as a driver?" and david goes "i dont know about him (the driver being hit) but I'd be thinking what in the hell are you doing mate ? once he retired / nbc redid the booth, i stopped watching the races.
@@sicfrynut I managed to catch the tail end of Murray Walker before he retired. To me, he is F1's English voice, and it's showed because every broadcaster after him has shamelessly tried to rip him off.
There was another guy I can't remember his name damnit
David Hobbs is a treat. My son and I once attended the Rookie of The Year dinner in Daytona and sat at the same table as David Hobbs and Dick Beatty. Good times . Also watched the 79 Daytona 500 in Toledo, Ohio-- snowed in.
Well , it's been a year since my last comment and I saved this and watch it once a month . So enjoy David's stories.
David is a legend. Awesome broadcaster, great guy! 👍👍🏁☺
This is fascinating. He's sharp as a tack in his 80s. What an interview.
Absolutely, Jr! The pinnacle of NASCAR broadcasting.
The tape delayed voiceover race part that he mentioned literally shocked me! I bet that was hard as hell! I used to think it was the guys on the booth to see the race, and then the race was tape delayed some days or weeks later. Well, I learned something from the Dale Jr Download broadcast on TV from last night.
Watched it live! Was incredible! Yes I'm a senior.
Dean Tait Sr haha wish I was alive then to watch it live!
I watched it live as well
i wasn't there but i did watch it on the tv live. i was 18.
Of all people I would least expect Cale Yarborough to mimic the engine lol.
I don’t know if Mr. Hobbs coined the phrase “he’s gotten off into the clagg “ but he’s the first commentator I heard use it (during a Formula 1 broadcast). Loved his commentary...
I remember that! He was working F1 with Bob Varsha on ESPN, I think. Hobbs noted that someone had to drive through "all that clag". Varsha cracked up said something like, "Excuse me?! What did you just say? Clag?" Hobbs, very deadpan, says "Well yeah, you know, clag". Nope, Varsha didn't know anything about "clag" at all. I always thought those two made a good team.
@@Michael_Lorenson remember that too! Haha love that group!
@@Michael_Lorenson Agreed. Varsha, Hobbs and Matchett was my favorite crew. Speaking of strange phrases, I remember around 2006 or so, Hobbs exclaimed "Love a duck!" I never have learned what in the world that means! LOL!
I've heard that noise in the broadcast. It's hilarious! You gotta love these old stories. 👍
I really miss David Hobbs on broadcast. He was fantastic!
Awesome! David Hobbs is a dang hoot! More Hobbs!
Thank you David.WE that are old enough and where there appreciate you and your broadcast yet today.SINCERELY Tighe Scott.Oh by the way
God, I miss Hobbo covering F1. Dude, you are the best!
Good to see David Hobbs. Well done. 10 points to all.
This is a great find, thanks for posting! I have watched stock cars since late 60's/early 70's and this is fantastic to hear these behind the scenes stories from the quintessential David Hobbs.
Dad took me to Brainerd, Minnesota back in the 70s to watch what I think they called Camel GT cars. Would be like IMSA now. Met David Hobbs in the pits, got an autograph and pic with him. He drove the #2 BMW. Also met Sam Posey and Danny Ongais. Back then fans could wander the pit area freely. Great memories. You're awesome Mr. Hobbs, great to see you on Dale's show!
You can still wander the pit area freely at IMSA races today, one of the best parts of going to a race.
Listened to the podcast and loved it! I am primarily a Formula 1 fan and it was great to hear David discuss F1 and European racing in addition to NASCAR. Really miss him, Steve Matchett and Leigh Diffey and/or Bob Varsha doing the U.S. broadcasts here in the state. I have warmed up to the Sky broadcast team, but they are a poor substitute for Hobbsy and company. Thanks for having him on!
I watched David on Dave Dispain a few years ago. Dave ask him do commentary of a driver jumping through a another drivers windshield after a wreck. I wish I could find video of it. It should be in the hall of fame. I have never laughed so hard in my life.
I remember that, freaking amazing.
Yeah! Toledo Glass 200 or something!
Great content here guys. I have always admired and respected David Hobbs for all he has done for motorsports. Very cool to hear his side of things!
That's exactly how I watched the '79 500! Grandma's tube t.v in the living room. It was awesome!!
lol I went and looked it up and for sure you can hear cale . That made the car go faster !
There are plenty of rednecks up North! There was many local short tracks with many great drivers back then a many fans! It was simply that it was on TV! But glad it happened, definitely loved this episode!
That Cale part was hilarious. I'm also going through the 85' Daytona 500. I'll have to pay attention.
I distinctly remember my Dad and I watching that Daytona 500, with Cale "humming" in his seat. We both cracked up laughing. We thought he was humming some unknown song!
Great guy, I was at the Le Mans 24 hours in 84 when he finished 3rd in the Skoal Bandit Porsche
I cracked up when David asked how do you spell 4 wide.
Dale- W-A-A-A-Y-D 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely one of my favorite guests. Was waiting on mike or junior to call him a dork
Todd Barrett He got that Gomer Pyle vibe going on, somehow. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE David Hobbs, but he has a...natural advantage?...to add to his storytelling skills and his knowledge of the sport.
J Pysmythe I see your point and agree to an extent
My favorite broadcaster!!
Gonna save this for the big screen later!
David Hobbs, thank you Sir!
without a doubt the most entertaining Dirty Mo show I have seen to date "THANKS DAVID HOBBS"
Legend!!
"top of the cam about to start down the back side"🤣
At the 1979 NASCAR awards banquet Cale Yarbrough was asked about "the fight." In typical Cale Yarbrough style he said; "It really wasn't a fair fight, I should've had one hand tied behind my back."
“‘Top of the cam lobe” referring to his buzz😅-hilarious!
in 2018, David Hobbs joined us for dinner in Elkhart Lake during a Road America IMSA race weekend. What a delight! He's a gentleman and a motorsports legend.
David Hobbs seemingly was an unlikely candidate to do NASCAR commentary on TV, but he did it well from what I can recall.
I vividly recall one year when a SPAM sponsored car was being poked fun at by the others in the TV announcing crew; where David seriously chimed-in with his take on SPAM, being a child in World War II England that suffered with food privations: He recalled, in his childhood, that SPAM was considered a delicacy by the English civilians in WW II.
The first time I ever heard of David was watching a video of the 1981 Bathurst 1000 where he was driving a JPS BMW 635csi with a Channel 7 camera fitted to the car and back then in Australia, they used to get the drivers to talk to the commentators from the drivers seat as the race was going on and David did it so well and it was later on I found out he was a broadcaster himself.
love hearing david hobbs during the F1 races.
Wow, he nailed that southern accent! Didn’t expect that hahahahaha
I always liked David Hobbs on NASCAR broadcasts, but man oh man, do I love this guy more now. He's a great story teller, and is fantastically humorous. He should be a regular on your podcast.
Hobbs is a gem. I asked him where is the best place to have a drink at Spa....He told me go to Stavelot for a good drink
I saw the race that day and i was rooting for the allisons and heard bobby later saying cayles face commenced to beating my fist . A great line a great im portant event for the sport
😢
Loved listening to David Hobbs. He was a bit of a comedian. He would say things like Racing Rookie Ricky Rudd, and tars instead of tires. LOL!
Hobbs interviewed Dale Sr. after the 1990 Daytona 500 that Dale lost, hitting the bell housing. Would love to hear about that interview - 2 great men in a tense, tense situation.
2:27 gave it a thumbs up right there 😂😂😂
David Hobbs is by far one of the most colorful motor sports broadcasters of all time. His peak was F1 coverage on NBC. Can’t stand watching F1 now.
Hobbs and Matchet F1 on Speedvision, best commentary short of James Hunt ever.
I have warmed up to the Sky F1 crew, but they are a poor substitute for Hobbs and Matchett.
I hope y'all can get Rick Mast on the show sometime soon. He's got so many awesome stories
Really enjoy watching y'all especially when he's telling the story,its so dang good and I'd love to know how I watch that 79 Daytona 500 ,Its definitely gr88t if DaleJr watched it so many times,Thank y'all for another gr88t show ❤❤❤it❣🌞⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He was a commentator on some legendary F1 races too
Hope i look like David when i'm 80, he looks great!
I watched that live when I was a kid. Saw the fight and everything at the end. I lived in South West Ga. I watched it off a Dothan, Alabama TV station.
I love his socks !
I always thought Cale was grunting, while he was driving. i didn't know he was making engine sounds.
Awesome! This interview was great. LOL. Yeah I think I'd make engine noises too, to be honest with you. LOL
oh my God Dale jr. is so funny listening to that race going to bed I dream about NASCAR and being a driver but I've never done that
This reveals that Cale Yarbrough was apparently ADD - and with his humming you can realize how in tune with the car he was...
You'd think the finish of the '76 500 would've impressed the CBS exec.
The most interesting thing said was what Dale Jr said, IF TIME TRAVEL EVER COMES COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE.....
Near the end of the interview I realized why I never cared much for David (I was wrong) I grew up in the time he was a pit road reporter. I may have seen one or two races with him in the booth but him saying he wasn't comfortable on pit road makes sense to my memories of him
That was fascinating
RIP Cale Yarborough. 1939-2023
Why is this episode not available in full?!?
Search Dale Jr. Download episode 281 - David Hobbs on Google. It's on any podcasting platform or dirtymomedia.com
that thumbnail tho...
5:11-5:15 Accurate description of the way I thought cars sounded like when I was a little kid.
Oh and to anyone who may not know nascar has the 1979 daytona 500 uploaded on their TH-cam channel
Have David Hobbs back again, soon!
If they do darlington with the old broadcast announcers with Ken Squier and Ned Jarrett Hobbs should join in with those two
Miss him doing F1.....He was so much better than what's there now.....
HAHAHA!!!! Man, that was HILARIOUS!!! GOOD STUFF!!! Would you guys please.......Please.......PLEASE go ahead and post these podcast/interviews in their entirety here on youtube!!! I'm telling you straight up: You have 86,000 subs right now.......if you did that, your youtube channel would explode.......and most likely have 3 MILLION subscribers within a year. It wouldn't hurt your radio broadcast, because too many people love their radio and besides, many probably enjoy listening while traveling. So come on guys, throw it ALL on youtube as well. Word would spread like wildfire. You mark my word. ( or would that be violating some kind of existing contract? )
Good Morning!!!
Ken squire was the best
🙂
David Hobbs does a southern accent surprisingly well hahaha
Hobo has the best stories.....miss his broadcast style. "Stay clear of that klagg."
Get Cale and Junior Johnson on the scene
David REALLY has the "southern" accent down to a T!!!
I didn't know Bill Sr was against broadcasting the race.
Sad to report Ken squier died today . 88 years young . Sad day in racing .
David should narrate National Geographic.
Thumbnail brought me here
Not understanding Baldwin. What is the difference is in the high $$ car owners today vs. yesterday? There has always been only a very few teams winning all the races. They had big money compared to the independents
This is the second podcast I’ve heard this year about Ken Squier asking another broadcaster/announcer what they were going to say before they went live & then stealing their lines. The other was Dave Despain. Kinda dirty move in my opinion
David Hobbs or old Jeremy Clarkson??
Definitely the latter.
Hobbs is 21 years older than Clarkson, so maybe he is the baby daddy.
That's funny
They should make ol DW an offer to come back and call some races, he made it fun
I mean, he should be chilling with the Grand Tour folk no? ????
Junior get chip and Juan Montoya
Juan is still putting fires out! :)
I still make motorcycle noises, when I'm on my motorcycle. Too embarrassed to say what age I am.
Ken needs to be a guest soon. David hobbs is hilarious and should be on the ballot for the HOF. I met ken at the hall of fame in 2016. We were there for the night they choose the next 5 and I had a chat with him and he is hilarious too. He asked where I was from and I said Wisconsin and he replied we can’t all be perfect lol. I told him that he deserved to be in the hall and was so glad he got in the next year. I love all the 80’s and 90’s broadcasters. They all fit together perfect and enjoyed every race I watched.
I was in Maine in the Air Force and at a buddies place and CBS broadcast of the race, We were really getting socked by the blizzard that hit the eastern part of the country. I was already NASCAR fan and I am at a buddies place and we are watching the race and the fight broke out at the end of the race. My buddy had never seen a NASCAR race and he was hooked right there. He asked me if they always fought when they wrecked. I said no but you got to remember this is the biggest race of the year. It was a awesome sight to see the race live. I always considered the Dave Hobbs and Ken Squire to be the best. They were the first to broadcast these races live flag to flag.
how anyone could 'down vote' this is beyond me. Great job Jr. I love these interviews
Dale's love and genuine appreciation for NASCAR history is unique. He's a true fan of the sport, aside from his past as a driver and an Earnhardt.
David Hobbs is an absolute icon and I don't think he understands how much he really and truly is an icon. I thoroughly enjoyed him calling Formula 1 races and I wish he still did.
