Dale Jr. Download: Richard Petty Scolds The Intimidator

[Music] one of my favorite races $0.19 night and Daytona 500 you end up winning that race and everybody remembers the big fight but another thing that was interesting about that race is dad is running his first Daytona 500 right all right and he's in Australian car and it's pretty decent old car apparently the race yeah yeah you know what do you remember about obviously so I guess we should probably go even further back into that and talk about Ralph Earnhardt driving for petty yeah he drove for us in 58 I think right he drove three or four races for us that's right so there was already a you already knew each other there's a connection there but what do you remember about dad as a driver and he kind of came in a little bit rough and and y'all you and Bobby and and maybe even David Pearson but I know Bobby had an influence but all y'all had to talk to him a little bit there in this first couple years about how to get a you know how to get around here and get get to the end to get to the finish line without tearing the fenders off of yeah you know I think the first remembers that really sticks I don't even know the first time I heard tell of Dale Earnhardt or whatever who was it Martinsville and I don't I started the other six or tan Thor someone he dad was behind us any we go down the first corner they throw the green flag we go down in the first corner I'm turning here here comes a car across the graves lands on my hood who is it start so I went over and said don't let that happen again I give him one in fanger do yeah you mean in that that that's the first time I remember they learn I remember I posted video of that wreck or that lap on my on my social media on Twitter last year I think yeah dad goes three wide into turn one first lap on the first sign on the inside and clean right yeah there's about ends up ranking 10 cars you know at least yeah they had bad deal and you know knocked the King out so that's all he got because I would have figured you to grab him around and put him in the headlock Murray I'm a little bit more have you get away from Dale and Maurice I don't know maybe maybe one other time I had to have a little talk with yeah I don't I think I did later on when he when he got where he was winning races really knocking people around right I think I I think I told him somewhere that I didn't mind him beating on my driver but don't you beat on my race car oh you know yeah you I don't care what you do the driver was it when he spun Hamilton out at Rockingham Rockingham yeah will happen so dad called Bobby Hamilton's driving for Richard oh I got in they had a Pontiac fast Pontiac and dad got up on the back bumper and spun him around off turn four nobody did different side of it yeah yeah so you went up to the end yeah even after all those years I think I had a little talk to him yeah and I don't know I didn't know if they'd already had a run-in right or what to me the way I've seen it he didn't have to be done because it wouldn't have last lap or anything no it was yeah that was Dale yeah I'm curious did did you see any potential in him when he's sitting there running over people like back in the 70s and when he's starting out I mean did anybody ever once think that this guy and you knew he was the son of a great one you know Ralph Earnhardt knew his way around a racetrack yeah you know his dad could get that done and not let people know about it it's Ralph yeah Ralph didn't mind moving people around but he done it a little easier okay he just he just moved him over he didn't knock him out and they all took it to the next extreme sounds like it and that showed we go back and look at some of the cars Bristol oh yeah pull the morning I think he worked on him a couple of times up at Bristol oh yeah I mean he got by with it one time he did so in 1979 did you know that when you went did you are you going down the back straightaway into turn three did they already tell you on the radio that the losers are wrecked out did you see the deal was was like for what and myself and Daryl Daryl Harold was racing for third right and these two cars was like 20 seconds we couldn't even see them you mean so we come off at four I mean or two and just as we come over to the lights come on there's a wreck somewhere so you know you you you're looking you don't see then the first thing you do you look in the mirror there's a second thing you did or that's what I did right now I'm gonna see nothing so we cruise on down and we know there's a caution and I got to beat these guys for third you're racing back to the line yep and just as you just as you get it the gate just going into fourth turn that's that third turn you look over her sister number one number two car man that was anything different we were still racing for third yeah the only thing is they just eliminated 1 & 2 so we come back and and I wound up beating Daryl and I think I think I don't know if or it just seen the light cook and let off or what I mean you know no me and Darrell did and we know we had to race yeah so so we I think we left Portland in the nesters yeah one of the best things about those races back then is everybody riding on the car to Victory Lane the whole team with climate ride - yeah Megan we had so many people on the Korra car when he moved I mean it would mean and so I think Ralph's Alvina it was the STP guy he's on when it stayed on the hood everybody else had to get up and then I think after that they told everybody not to ride in ride on the cars anymore you [Music]
