I make sure to watch every single time Amy is on. So wholesome, pretty, funny & has such a soothing beautiful succinct voice with that slight Texan draw. Jr sure did well. I unfortunately never got lucky enough to ever find the one but seeing others that have makes me feel good to know others have. Of course no one's life is perfect nor is any human but... some get closer than others. God Bless : )
I loved listening to Amy telling stories about her family and Easter w the kids. And your ‘Dale Jr special’. Her people sound super fun. My grandkids love floribama beaches and the OWA park out there. Lots to do and see along the coast that’s kid friendly. Mine are 3 & 5 yrs old so they’re game for almost anywhere they can run wild. ..fair winds and following seas in your 5th wheel
Amy is always a joy when she shows up on the download. I hope they continue to have her back on. I got to meet and have a picture taken with her a couple years ago at the Nascar Hall of Fame induction ceremony when Dale got inducted. She is one of the nicest and sweetest people Anyone'll Ever Meet.
Water suggestion for when there are more than one campers using the water at Amy's parents home....hook up to the water source when you arrive, and fill up your fresh water tank. Then switch over to using the water pump to help keep the water pressure up. I've been RV'ing for years, and have learned a few tricks of the trade.
I left Richmond Raceway Sunday night holding back tears. I knew NASCAR had f**ked Richmond for the final time. I live 9 miles from that track, for the last 25 years I call that place home for 2 weekends a year. Please Dale, do everything you can in your power to save and fix the on track product Richmond Raceway.
I finally accepted it too. As soon as I went on Twitter as I walked out I just knew had this feeling. It’s not a death yet but it just felt really eerie leaving
@@redknightsr69 they threw all their eggs into the infield fan zone basket which honestly is a pretty fun spot to be. But that kinda killed any chance of a repave or anything changing in terms of on track product. Seems to be the new thing with tracks like Chicago and auto club. Cheaper to just get rid of it then repave it
Great podcast as always. Love having Amy there. I do miss Mike though because he and Dale bounced off each other so well. Mike was able to get more out of Dale than any one other than Kelley and Amy. Love this podcast. 💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁🙏🙏🙏 I agree wholeheartedly that Nascar should NOT race on Easter. That's GOD'S DAY and we should celebrate HE IS RISEN 🙏🙏 I am a die hard race fan but EASTER is far more important 🙏🙏🙏💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁🙏🙏🙏
Oh, it's funny how Dale was on Dennys side when they were talking about the restarting thing. But as quick as Denny wasn't around anymore he did a 180. The answer is simple… Don't use a restart zone. Use the start finish line.
Bring us a Race back to the ROCK! It got repaved a year or so back, at that time the removed all the pavement, and re-banked the turns back to their original specs. As a Rockingham local, I know we’re all super siked by the possibilities of having Nascar racing coming back to “The Rock”! It’s a Legendary Track!!!
@@345N AMEN on the Left Coast aint the prime demographic market. If it was, every race west of the Mississippi would be sold out. They couldnt even sell out the LA Coliseum WHEN THEY GAVE TICKETS AWAY FOR FREE.
I KNEW he wouldn't be driving the camper rig long distances.. lol... (I wouldn't either if I was him.. lol😅) Amy is awesome, keeping Jr in line... great couple....❤
Good to get Amy back on. Now it’s time for Kelley. Maybe Karsyn & Wyatt could join to talk racing sometime. It’s a long show, they could at least pop in and say hi. I enjoyed seeing their pics & hearing their stories when I was lucky enough to meet Kelley at JRM.
I don’t buy tires due to anything to do with racing. I didn’t even know they were racing Sunday. Lol. I don’t watch it anymore. I used to not miss anything to do with nascar if it was on tv or radio back in the day. I even called my local radio station to complain to no avail when they quit playing races on the radio. To keep kicking the dead horse… Nascar lost me several years ago for more reasons than one and I haven’t missed it. I used to like the old Richmond-fairgrounds bullring type of track. Guess I’m one of the lost old school fans. I’ll still watch races from back in the day sometimes and shows that talk about that era but that’s it. Also, I agree… they shouldn’t race on Easter Sunday. I always thought they shouldn’t race on Mother’s Day. Lol Let the teams be home with their families.
I think the half mile would have been awesome in-person. The 3/4 mile track is fun when they can race and get to each other’s bumpers, but the half mile would have been more of a short track.
I love the Richmond race. It's different, but I think in a good way. Less cautions shows who really has the car. The adjustments, the drivers hunting grooves ect. With the controversy now, more people will probably watch the next Richmond race.
Great show today! Any way you could get Bill and Gail Davis on the show? It would be cool to hear their story from their point of view. Always felt there was a sort of mystery behind the way the exited NASCAR.
Easy fix for the low water pressure is to fill the onboard fresh water tank and use the water pump so you have pressure...at a quiet time during the day top off the fresh water tank so it is always ready to go...
Mothers Day and Easter need to be a day off from racing. Fathers Day is one of the things that a Nascar loving Dad would love spending that day doing. There are some mothers that like Nascar. But I still think that should be a day off. My Daughter was in to Nascar when she was younger and watched it with me a lot, but that she is in her 40s she is not into it so much. Dale Jr. was one of her favorite drivers. Dan 🇺🇸
Glad to hear you say you enjoyed the race, was in person and I thought it was a great race! Came back home and saw social media and everyone with the complete opposite opinion and was pretty disappointed with that 😕
With tires o get goodyear but it's how you market it. Give them 2 compounds. Current tire and "sticky speeds" more strategies still shows longevity yet shows we can make you race tires and with everyone screaming tires shows goodyear listens to their fans without losing what they have. Give each team x amount of sets each per race
They old wide open set made you feel like you was in a garage in a very good way. The new set kinda like a classroom look if that makes sense. Maybye im just old lol, what do i know.
Regarding the tire wear point: that could be flipped to “we make a tire that’s going 200mph” or something similar. Champion the levels of grip, g forces they pull in the corner, etc. If it’s good enough for those circumstances, it’s good enough for your car. Something along those lines.
Used to be, NASCAR never raced on Easter Sunday or Mother's Day. If anything, supporting series raced on Saturday but the big boys never ran on those 2 hallowed days. Why can't they race every Richmond on Saturday night? Short tracks are made for Saturday nights! I loved it when we used to look at the old Cup schedule and be able to point at August and September - you knew there were 2 night races guaranteed. And in the summer, when hot and humid, sticky days turned into a chance of mean storms, having the Sunday afternoon available as a backup was sorta built in as a last resort. I sound like the old crabby woman down the street who used to chase kids off the sidewalk in front of her house. 'Stay outta my yard!'
The drivers did a fantastic job feeling out the wet tires. I think they are smart enough to figure how to drive on a wet pit road. They definitely should have thrown the yellow and reracked for the G/W/C.
I agree that the tire compound is the most important aspect in how a race plays out. The Balls are gone and when you lose your Balls you are done. It's not right to take a race away from Richmond. NASCAR and Goodyear need to work together on tire compound for most tracks. That was what made for great races in the 80's. It built the interest in the sport.
As usual great show, the new cast is doing decent but somebody was crapping on Mike Davis from years past so i have to defend. i think Mike was a massive part of the show that i will miss dearly. But i understand why he had to change roles. The only knock on the current cast is andrews actual voice to me needs maturity but he cant help that 😂 he has good insight, im sure he will just get better. Also Amy and Dale need a travel show they do once a month or two!
Oh forgot to mention Denny definitely jumped but got a way with it, thats a win, nascar needs to draw a hard line in the sand from now on. Lap 1 or 399 doesn't matter, one complete restart warning per driver, unless you do it egregiously on a well known fuel mileage race its no warning, pass through.
Easter Sundays, we're always left open in NASCAR for the guys to spend the weekends with their Mother's and their families. Somehow, NASCAR is forgotten that. But I remember in the 80s. In the 90s, not watching NASCAR. On easter sunday because that weekend was set aside for families and mothers
Question, if Martin just blipped the throttle that made the car hesitate a second or just let off for some reason, wouldn't it technically appear that Denny jumped? My point is, if they just have throttle and speed sensors, they can compare that up to the line and know for matter of fact if someone jumped.
The show isn’t as good without Mike putting in his 2 cents in and enlightening people with his plethora of NASCAR knowledge Mike you sir are up there with Denny Hamlins of the world been around for years and you sir have as many championships as Denny. Mike you’re a legend!
I stepped away as a daily consumer of everything I could find with nascar when Dale Sr died. I still watched races when I could but my heart wasn't in it. I just last week decided to try going all in and came to YT to check Jr's pod clips to test the waters. I've been crushing these daily and love them. Mike is a love and hate guy I actually enjoy cause he gets me emotional from laughing to raging mad. Now he's gone? Where did he go? FFS
Motorized is a perfect term, electric motor is exactly that a motor, an internal combustion engine is an engine. Simple designation 👍 nascar needs to grow a pair and let people know exactly what they want!!! Love the show.
Can you guys do a full episode of ask Junior because the wrestling guys do a full QnA’s episodes and they’re phenomenal I was just wondering love, D JR would be awesome.
Couple notes. I do believe Truex was playing his own strategy on the restart to gain an advantage. Truex was still on his door all the way down the front stretch and into 1. It was a jump by Denny, but its not like he was clear into 1. The only one complaining about the jump was Truex. Joey had no problem because they all do it and have at one point gotten away with similar things. As far as RWR goes, the eye test sees a big jump from years past. Which is great to see considering they've usually been a waste of a charter spot or two.
Congrats Dale Jr & Amy on owning a fifth wheel travel trailer guess Junebug have sell one expensive motorhome coach . I remember that 2000 Texas spring race first win by Earnhardt Jr yes he's right did lost the clutch after checkered flag even The Intimidator was in victory lane then to congrats his son.
As like a broken record I agree with you Jr!! Great podcast by the way and not bashing NASCAR but they need to clean up the cautions!! That being said Goodyear is on their game this year!!
I know Michigan International Speedway used to have Father's day races, but people would make plans to go to the race for Father's Day with their father and most would spend the entire weekend with their father and brothers and/or sisters at the track celebrating Their Dad... BUT racing on EASTER SUNDAY is just Ridiculous.
Love the show. Maybe its just my laptop but it sounds like the music levels are either too high or the vocals too low. I think the vocals are probably too low bc I have to turn it all the way up to hear it all with all thats going on at work but I don’t have to do that with anything else.
Starting at the 13:00 , the point Dale Jr makes about sealing the track is totally valid. I remember in the mid to late 90s into the 2000s, the Sawyer brothers would seal the track and it made for fantastic 2,3, sometimes even 4 wide racing around the track. After the Sawyer's left, new management has not sealed the track and it is now single groove around the place and is simply boring. I refuse to spend money to go to RIR to see that.
"it's what happened in the 80s and 90s" The 90s saw the worst of the tire wars and it did incredible amounts of damage to the sport. Teams were chasing the tires that folks complain about. Tires that don't fall off and hold their speed over the run. We live with the byproduct of that 'heyday.' Bristol was excellent because no one has to worry about a Hoosier or Dunlop or Pirelli developing a better tire than what exists and it competing. We can have that kind of tire when the manufacturer is protected. We need to embrace that more and keep striving for a better version of that tire.
Great points on the restart debacle. I feel the bigger question is... at the end of the race with MTJ less than1/2 a lap away from taking the white flag... when Larson spins out, touches nothing, drops nothing onto the track, why throw the yellow in the first place?! I feel like NASCAR screwed MTJ over with the yellow! He did everything right on managing tires. He managed his tires far better than anyone else, his laps led proves it! NOW... an altercation happens that doesn't disrupt the race/endanger other competitors they drop a yellow when, in many occasions, someone spins close to the end of a stage/race, touches nothing, drops nothing onto the track and is able to safely continue on, they don't throw a yellow and allow racing to continue!! Why is what happened at the end of Richmond any different? I feel NASCAR stole this from Martin! Lastly... restarts. Why are drivers in control of the asylum? Isn't that what the NASCAR & the flag stand is for? Here's my take on what needs to happen; have a defined "restart zone" clearly painted on each track. The starter, and only the starter, waving the green flag & the green lights coming on designates the start/restart of a race. The flag stand will NOT wave the green until the leader enters the restart zone and WILL wave the green at any point while the leader is within the restart zone. he starter can (and should, in my opinion) vary the times they start/restart the race. If the leader/2nd place car doesn't get a good reaction to the green flag waving and/or a good restart, then so be it! That's on the drivers to earn their money and get a strong start/restart! This also avoids any driver from starting outside of the start/restart zone and/or "gaming" the system... in my opinion. PS: love the pod casts!!! Keep 'em comin'!!
Love your shows JR, Why you have to curse so much, cant you Go one hr and 30 minutes without cursing , you have a lot of really really young people watch your show, Thanks, Very imformation show
@@jamiethornton6101The original poster means, When Denny gets jumped, he whines and cries and screams to daddy NASCAR, stamping his widdle webbed feet and throwing a tantrum, throws shade at the officials, and throws the jumper under the rear tires. But when HE jumps, "hey, I'm fast as f*@k boyEEEE, you just mad you got played." He is such a cocky prick - good or bad - and just smiles when he cheats.
Love it when Amy is on. Her subtle humor is very funny.
I think Amy is awesome seems like a very easy going woman !!! Love the Dale Jr download really enjoy it, thanks Dale.

Would have had more people there if it was a Saturday night race instead of being on Easter Sunday. Rain didn't help much either.

@@pandaexpress7326 the facility was not as well kept as previous years. Less sponsors, less everything. RIR used to be a mad house.

Might be the best Easter tradition I’ve ever heard!

Denny jumped the phone call too! 😂😂
Wholesome Easter celebration story. Enjoy the authenticity of you in your dad age Jr…
Sounds like the NC Spanish moss might not have chiggers. . .

He literally told him several times he got away with one, so not sure how he changed his tune? LOL
If they loose a Richmond race I wish they would add Rockingham back on the schedule. That track is amazing with the banking.
Rockingham is privately owned I believe. So, will be hard for them to get a deal with NASCAR compared to SMI tracks.
Rockingham races were the bomb. Excellent multi-groove racing. It was very competitive and entertaining.
That is the same as racing on mothers day. That is time to spend and honor your mother. Easter and Mothers day should be time to spend with family.
I agree 100%!!! I love Richmond! PHELPS/O/DONNELL are to blame. You hit all the nails on the head, ie “Easter”, “Tires”, Time Slot, etc
WHOA!!! Easy now!!!!
Bring us a Race back to the ROCK! It got repaved a year or so back, at that time the removed all the pavement, and re-banked the turns back to their original specs. As a Rockingham local, I know we’re all super siked by the possibilities of having Nascar racing coming back to “The Rock”! It’s a Legendary Track!!!
Richmond needs to put back as a Saturday night race...
Yes to that suggestion.
It would probably kill tv ratings but it’d be great for attendance.
Agree, but you have to restore the competitive racing RIR used to have. Seal the track regularly!
Been tire issues for decades, maybe Goodyear needs a little added pressure by allowing other manufactures to do some testing
Start the races at 12:30 pm est.
More horsepower.
More horsepower on short tracks for sure.
Absolutely and stop with the 3pm or 7pm start. Westcoast aint the prime fan base.
@@345N AMEN on the Left Coast aint the prime demographic market. If it was, every race west of the Mississippi would be sold out. They couldnt even sell out the LA Coliseum WHEN THEY GAVE TICKETS AWAY FOR FREE.
Amy needs to be on the show more often
We need a Playlist of just Amy Earnhardt PRETTY PLEASE @DirtyMoMedia
I KNEW he wouldn't be driving the camper rig long distances.. lol... (I wouldn't either if I was him.. lol😅)
Amy is awesome, keeping Jr in line... great couple....❤
Having been in racing all his life, being the son of 1 of the greatest, i believe Dale, Jr is correct regarding NASCAR. BRENDA HARRIS
Had they not thrown the yellow for Kyle Busch the pit strategies were about to get really interesting
I agree. Kind of wanted to see it end under green for stage 2. I dusky gate long green flag runs, but the tire strategy is neat to watch at Richmond.
Really hurt Bowman.
NASCAR is the one sport where they should not race on Easter Sunday. Maybe Saturday night. But not Easter Sunday night.
Good to get Amy back on. Now it’s time for Kelley. Maybe Karsyn & Wyatt could join to talk racing sometime. It’s a long show, they could at least pop in and say hi. I enjoyed seeing their pics & hearing their stories when I was lucky enough to meet Kelley at JRM.
Every Tradition started with a single event. lol
Love the show!!
I friggin love Richmond!
Can't the just use butter in the tires to replace the Oil....or margarine LMAO
Amy, I haven’t heard of glitter eggs before..thank you for explaining.
Amy makes the show better!
Love the Red Clay Strays shoutout!
Richmond is a great track and should have two races in my opinion.
I think Michigan probably deserved two dates.
The “zone” has two lines that designate the “zone”. Four feet before the first line is not “in the zone”.
Exactly 💯
It was close to 100 ft before the line when Denny went I guess.
100 feet??? Looked like 4-5 feet tops imo 🤷♂️
Just aswell been on the back stretch according to Elton as long as it wasn’t on lap 3 😂😂😂
Clearly it wasn’t egregious enough to DQ him lol. If it was on the BS it’s safe to say he woulda been ousted 🤷♂️ he got away with it tho for sure

The track, man. Rockingham is any man's race.
Old school shenanigans on a short track . Good for them if Denny jumped an got away with it 😂😂🏁🏁

Mothers Day and Easter need to be a day off from racing. Fathers Day is one of the things that a Nascar loving Dad would love spending that day doing. There are some mothers that like Nascar.

A given fans perception depends on many things.
Some are quick to judge.
I thought it was not terrible, but I hate the fact they cannot get to each other’s bumpers anymore on short tracks.
State and National Parks are the best!!
I've seen air tags put in tree stands in case someone steals them.

Or the NIMBY argument. People are all for helping the homeless until it lowers their housing values around them, then they go, “Not in my back yard!”
Confetti eggs for the kids is great they love them

i wish you would turn the volume up a little bit.. It's very hard to pay attention when you can barely hear it
Maybe you need to turn up your volume. I heard them all just fine.
Id like to see the option of soft or hard tire like F1 or Indy Car
They should just race on a Saturday night on easter weekend Saturday night races are amazing

As an Aussie i cannot understand the stages, just race the whole number of laps & let the pit crew chiefs make the decision when to pit & fuel.
Congrats Dale Jr & Amy on owning a fifth wheel travel trailer guess Junebug have sell one expensive motorhome coach . I remember that 2000 Texas spring race first win by Earnhardt Jr yes he's right did lost the clutch after checkered flag even The Intimidator was in victory lane then to congrats his son.
In those cars you only need the clutch to start basically. They can shift up or down in the old cars by blipping the throttle.
As like a broken record I agree with you Jr!! Great podcast by the way and not bashing NASCAR but they need to clean up the cautions!! That being said Goodyear is on their game this year!!
Round two for the camper is going to be New River All-American Speedway in Jacksonville, NC April 13th for the CARs tour race!!!
I know Michigan International Speedway used to have Father's day races, but people would make plans to go to the race for Father's Day with their father and most would spend the entire weekend with their father and brothers and/or sisters at the track celebrating Their Dad... BUT racing on EASTER SUNDAY is just Ridiculous.
Love the show. Maybe its just my laptop but it sounds like the music levels are either too high or the vocals too low. I think the vocals are probably too low bc I have to turn it all the way up to hear it all with all thats going on at work but I don’t have to do that with anything else.
Jr can afford anything but he is looking at the most affordable 5th wheel camper
Starting at the 13:00 , the point Dale Jr makes about sealing the track is totally valid. I remember in the mid to late 90s into the 2000s, the Sawyer brothers would seal the track and it made for fantastic 2,3, sometimes even 4 wide racing around the track. After the Sawyer's left, new management has not sealed the track and it is now single groove around the place and is simply boring. I refuse to spend money to go to RIR to see that.
Tire discussion reminded me of Frank Lockhart LSR death.
Denny needs to let me get that Jordan Retro 1 painting behind him!?!
Last time we had competing tire companies drivers died because of the tire wars.
What would be the issue with letting the leader start the restart like small dirt tracks do, no zone just off of four let the leader start
Amy needs to start a podcast of Nascar wives.
"it's what happened in the 80s and 90s"
The 90s saw the worst of the tire wars and it did incredible amounts of damage to the sport. Teams were chasing the tires that folks complain about. Tires that don't fall off and hold their speed over the run.
We live with the byproduct of that 'heyday.'
Bristol was excellent because no one has to worry about a Hoosier or Dunlop or Pirelli developing a better tire than what exists and it competing. We can have that kind of tire when the manufacturer is protected. We need to embrace that more and keep striving for a better version of that tire.
Dale jr should be nascar president
Great points on the restart debacle. I feel the bigger question is... at the end of the race with MTJ less than1/2 a lap away from taking the white flag... when Larson spins out, touches nothing, drops nothing onto the track, why throw the yellow in the first place?! I feel like NASCAR screwed MTJ over with the yellow! He did everything right on managing tires. He managed his tires far better than anyone else, his laps led proves it! NOW... an altercation happens that doesn't disrupt the race/endanger other competitors they drop a yellow when, in many occasions, someone spins close to the end of a stage/race, touches nothing, drops nothing onto the track and is able to safely continue on, they don't throw a yellow and allow racing to continue!! Why is what happened at the end of Richmond any different? I feel NASCAR stole this from Martin!
Lastly... restarts. Why are drivers in control of the asylum? Isn't that what the NASCAR & the flag stand is for? Here's my take on what needs to happen; have a defined "restart zone" clearly painted on each track. The starter, and only the starter, waving the green flag & the green lights coming on designates the start/restart of a race. The flag stand will NOT wave the green until the leader enters the restart zone and WILL wave the green at any point while the leader is within the restart zone. he starter can (and should, in my opinion) vary the times they start/restart the race. If the leader/2nd place car doesn't get a good reaction to the green flag waving and/or a good restart, then so be it! That's on the drivers to earn their money and get a strong start/restart! This also avoids any driver from starting outside of the start/restart zone and/or "gaming" the system... in my opinion. PS: love the pod casts!!! Keep 'em comin'!!
Put a AirTag on your race car at Bristol .
Love your shows JR,
Why you have to curse so much, cant you
Go one hr and 30 minutes without cursing , you have a lot of really really young people watch your show, Thanks,
Very imformation show
“I always thought you HAD to go in the box, now NASCAR says…it’s whatever.” Man, that is a huge problem. You can’t run a sport like that.
Especially when the leader cannot change lanes until the S/F line, but they can go before the restart box and lay back?
They said it was the same exact tire they ran there the year before, it was PJ1 v/s traction compound I thought they said.
Pit Limiter would be the best choice if they take control of tires.. take the Guessing on Speed out .. get with the times Limiters HELP alot......
Hamlin screamed when someone would hang back on a restart, but he can jump the restart and all is well.
what do you mean, "he screamed" ?
@@jamiethornton6101The original poster means, When Denny gets jumped, he whines and cries and screams to daddy NASCAR, stamping his widdle webbed feet and throwing a tantrum, throws shade at the officials, and throws the jumper under the rear tires. But when HE jumps, "hey, I'm fast as f*@k boyEEEE, you just mad you got played." He is such a cocky prick - good or bad - and just smiles when he cheats.
